Chapter Text
Connor Stevens excels in sports, but sucks in math class. He was told that he won't pass 8th grade if he failed algebra. He would study but he has no time too, he has his homework from the other classes, various after school clubs, soccer and baseball games, and the time he spends with his friend Jude Jacob. Jude Jacob. He wouldn't replace his time with Jude for nothing. Connor had to get a tutor.
It was the evening of a boring Wednesday, the two boys were at the Adams-Foster household in Jude's room, Jude was painting his nails like he does, while Connor was sitting on the ground reading a book. When Connor told Jude that he was getting a tutor for math, it was completely out-of-the-blue and a little forced, Jude was surprisingly nonchalant about it.
"that's cool", was all Jude said while he continued to paint his nails. Connor was a little taken aback by his two words. He wanted Jude to at least acknowledge the fact that if he didn't pass his math class he wouldn't be in the same grade as his friend. "You know could always tutor you..."
"please, your math grade is worse than mine", Connor said while getting up onto Jude's bed with him and wrapping his arms around his smaller friend, "your not good at math..."
"I am very good at math, Stevens!" Jude spat at Connor suddenly taking Connor off guard, as he want and locked himself in the bathroom.
why was he acting like this?
"He's being such a dama queen", Connor said under his breath, as he made his way to the bathroom,
"I'm such a what!?", Jude said behind the door.
"Jude, please. I already found myself a tutor and I can't cancel on them.", Connor said hesitantly getting back to his book. the book he really wasn't reading...
"Fine.", Jude said coming out of the bathroom, to see Connor with his arms outstretched ready for the hug he knew Jude was going to give. Jude just gave him "the face", and walked over into his best friend's embrace. "you smell like maple syrup and glue by the way.."
They both giggled.

The next day Connor met with his tutor at lunch, but before they went he wanted for Jude to meet her. Jude was Just finishing a conversation with one of his teachers, when Connor grabbed his hand and dragged him outside so he could judge approve of his new tutor, to put Connor's mind at ease. Connor couldn't handle the fact if his best friend didn't like his tutor, even though it would only be for a little while, he still wants them to get along.
"Connor slow down", Jude said almost tripping, as his friend rushed him down the corridors, all the way to the school cafeteria. Soon Connor spotted her and he sprang into action, yanking Jude to where she was sitting. Once he noticed her face, Jude instantly recognized her, she was in his history class. He didn't really know her, she never talked to him much. He really doesn't even know her name.
"Jude I'd like to meet-", Connor said but she cut him off,
"Jade, Jade Johnson", the girl, Jade said as she was getting up out of her seat to shake Jude's hand. Now that she was standing up Jude got a better look at her, she had flowing brown hair with chestnut brown eyes and fair skin. Jade was basically the girl version of Jude. No one could deny her and Jude's similarities.
Only one thought went rushing through his mind.
Connor's getting tutored by me
