TYLER’s POV
“You did what?” Justin yelled at me as I recited him the whole event.
“Will you lower down your voice?” I whispered as I sat next to him inside our Statistics classroom. I held my right cheek that was still stinging in pain from the slap of that nerd. “I’m fucking screwed, man.”
“Stella rejected you and even gave you a hard slap. Woman…” Justin laughed and I glared at him. “But why did you offer her sex, dude. I only suggested a kiss? What the fuck are you even thinking?”
“I don’t even know why I said that, man. Shit!” I brushed my fingers over my hair in frustration. I really couldn’t believe I said that.
Come on, I was the hottest guy in school. How could I tutor a nerd how to have sex? That's crazy. I have a girlfriend!
How could this be happening to me? I was never the helpless one and now look at me, begging for the nerd to tutor me. What would everyone think if I won’t 

STELLA’s POV
“Are you crying?” Vince asked me the moment I sat beside him inside the school bus.
“No. Something just got into my eye.” I wiped my eyes, trying so hard to stifle a snort.
Vince frowned and faced me. “What did Tyler tell you?”
“W-what do you mean?”
“I saw you talking to him in the locker area this morning. I know he said something you don’t like, Stella. You’ve been very quiet the whole day and didn’t even concentrate on our lesson. Did he bully you again?”
I couldn’t hide what I felt anymore. I was so hurt, and the tears that I’d been holding since this morning started to fall like raindrops.
“He’s a jerk. I thought he will treat you good because he needs a favour from you. I don’t like him for you anymore, Stella. My rating for him totally dropped to 95%! You shouldn’t agree—“
“What? How could you even rate him with 95%? I can’t believe you, Vince! Isn’t he an asshole for

TYLER’s POV
The next day, I stood by my locker trying to understand why Stella turned me down. She was a complete nerd, an outcast, a lowlife. It would make sense for her to want to tutor me considering the wonders I could do to her social life.
I needed to talk to Mr. Clark about having Jim tutor me instead. In a way, it was a blessing in disguise—I wouldn’t have to talk nor spend time with Stella, but my grades would really suffer. Still, Jim was better than nothing.
“Dude, what’s keeping you busy these past few days? Haven’t seen you lately, huh?” Justin who suddenly appeared asked me as we stood by my locker. I haven’t told anyone yet about my grades and the tutor thing.
I looked around, checking that there’s no student in sight near us. I have to tell it to someone because I might explode if I wouldn’t.
“I failed in three subjects.” I whispered. “And I have to ask the nerd to tutor me but she rejected me.”
“What?” he was shocked. “But you are Tyler Lewis, and no one rejects you.”
“Exactly! And I have to convince her but I don’t know how. Maybe you can help me?”
“Hmm…” Justin grazed his chin with his fingers while thinking and I patiently waited for an idea to pop up in his mind. “Is this the same nerd you used to bully before?”
I nodded. “And the nerd I saved from Mark’s gang last week.”
“I think she was rejecting you because of you bullying her before. So, maybe you should offer her something she liked and in return, she will gladly tutor you.”
I gave him a confused look. “Offer her? Like what?” I frowned. What could I offer her to accept me?
“Like, she will tutor you in your failed subjects and you teach her on how to kiss.” Justin suggested and my eyes widened.
“Are you fucking insane? No way!” I couldn’t understand why he suddenly suggested that kind of thing. I have a girlfriend and I wouldn’t dare kiss another girl.
“Dude, I was just trying to help you. You see, Stella is obviously had a little experience or maybe no experience at all. And you teaching her on how to kiss, she should be grateful! She’d got to kiss the hottest guy in the campus.”
He laughed as I playfully hit his shoulder. Honestly, I’d think about that too. What girl would say no to kissing with the hottest guy in school? So, this is it?
“Fine! And if she rejects me again, you’re fucking dead Justin!”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I watched as Stella came around the corner with her gaze lowered on the ground. I observed her and I think she’s not that bad. She has the body, well, with that loose shirt she was wearing, I could still see the perfect curve of her body. Her breasts stood perfectly and her slim waist emphasizing how sexy she looked.
Hell, why didn't I realize that nerd was hot-shaped before? She looks less annoying this way.
“Dude, she’s over there.” Justin whispered.
“I saw her, too. Wait me here.” I scurried after Stella as Justin watched me chase her.
Jesus, why was this girl so fast? I huffed as she turned around another corner and a familiar face came into sight. I lowered my gaze and pretended I didn’t see Mark. Thankfully, he didn’t notice me, too.
I continued walking until I spotted Stella in an empty corridor by her locker. I slowly walked over until I stood against the locker next to her. “Hey.” I smiled and she was startled and slammed her locker shut, eyes widened looking at me.
“What do you want?” she sighed. Someone has a bad day this early in the morning.
“I wanted to see how you were doing.”
Stella gave me a confused look. “How I’m doing?”
I gave my best sympathetic smile and glanced around the hall to make sure no one was secretly watching us.
“I want to say sorry again for the things I’ve done to you. I really mean it Stella.” Her eyes went wide again and looked around the halls like I did mere seconds ago. Maybe she thought she was being pranked.
“Forget about it, Tyler. Just don’t bother me again.” she said, looking back at her locker sadly. “And about the tutor thing, I’m sorry but my decision is final. I’m not accepting you.”
“Ow c’mon Stella.” I let out my best fake laugh. “You’re the only person who could help me and maybe I can help you, too.”
“Help me? With what?”
“Well, you know I’d think about this a hundred times so I have a generous proposition for you.” she stayed silent waiting for me, so I continued. “I need you to tutor me in practically everything you’re good at, but you need a little tutoring in practically everything I’m good at.”
“So, what is your offer?”
“You tutor me in school, and I tutor you to…kiss?” I waited for a reply as Stella’s face contorted into shock and confusion. She had turned beetroot and she looked like she was about to cry.
Her watery eyes aroused a mixed feeling in my heart. Oh my God, what have I done?!
“Are you joking?” she then asked.
“Look, I know you haven’t had a boyfriend and I would like to graduate and play football. We both have things we need. It’s an extremely generous offer considering…well.” I scanned her up and down. It didn’t need any explanation. “And just so you know, if anyone finds out it could compromise my whole reputation, so you should be thankful for what I’m risking.”
“I can’t believe you, Tyler Lewis!”
“Wait—“
“Do you honestly think that I’m that desperate and sorry for myself to jump at any opportunity just to kiss you?”
“But Stella, this isn’t just any kiss. This is kiss with me, the hottest guy in the whole campus.”
She didn’t like the sound of that.
“Do you not hear yourself? Seriously? You know what? You bullying me was something I could forget but this telling me that kissing you is like winning in the contest is so stupid that I think I’ve lost a few brain cells. Plus, not to mention the fact that you were solely doing this for yourself, thinking I’d be putty in your hands.”
“But you need a boyfriend, and to have a boyfriend should know how to kiss.” I said, still trying to convince her.
“Who told you that I don’t know how to kiss?”
Fuck! Who taught her that? For no reason, I was irritated by her words.
Staring at her attractive plump lips, I couldn't help offering a regretful suggestion, which made everyone at present jaw drop.
“So, you know how to kiss? How about…I tutor you in sex, then?”
Her watery eyes widen as well as her mouth, making her look innocent.
Damn, her green eyes are mesmerizing me again! Somehow a voice popped in my mind:
Kiss her.
Then I pressed my lips on hers.
