Alexa always did things on impulse. She called her mom on the bus as soon as she decided to hire a tutor.
Her mom agreed to Alexa's request when she heard that Alexa wanted to hire a tutor. After all, she had money to hire a tutor for her daughter. And she thought it was great that her daughter wanted to study harder.
When Alison heard that Alexa had called her mother, even though she wanted to stop Alexa, it was too late.
Alison had wanted Alexa to come to her house in the evening and had Luis tutor them together. However, she wasn’t sure if Luis would agree to her request. And she thought she would ask Luis later when she got back to class.
Since Alexa had already called her mother, given her mother's personality, she might hire a tutor at once.
Not noticing Alison's thoughts, Alexa hung up the phone triumphantly. "My mom agreed! When we get to school later, I'll go talk to Torey about it!"
Seeing that it was a done deal, Alison didn't say anything else. "So do you want me to go with you?"
"I'll go to talk to him alone. I was the one who asked him to tutor us."
Alison knew that Alexa was close to Torey, so she didn't insist. "Alright."
After thinking for a while, Alison said," Alexa, should we get Torey a gift to thank him for tutoring us?"
Despite her being straightforward, Alexa was a girl. When she heard Alison's suggestion, she thought Alison had a point. "Sounds not bad. After all, we let him tutor us for free for over a month! So how about we go pick out a gift for him this weekend?"
Alison smiled and said, "Sure."
When they got back to school, Alexa ran off to find Torey. And Alison was holding her and Alexa’s thermos bottles to fill them with water. When Alison got up, her eyes fell on the thermos bottle on Luis' desk. After a moment of hesitation, Alison reached for Luis' thermos.
Because Luis' thermos bottle was transparent, people could see at a glance that his thermos bottle was full of water.
Benny was walking into the classroom with Luis. They were both on the high school basketball team and had participated in practice together in the morning.
They had just finished practice and were thirsty.
