"But Miss-"

"But nothing Mr. Raizada. You must pass the class!"

"But I-"

The door opened and in came Seema, running in. "Lo siento senora."

"Esta bien."

She looked up from her books, which she was trying to hold, when she saw NK.

"This," the professor began, "is N-"

"Um, its NK," NK said.

"This," the professor stressed, "is Nand Kishore Raizada."

Seema just looked at NK. Nand Kishore? wow! So that's what 'NK' stands for.

"Mr. Raizada, here, has failed his foreign language class again. So, he is making up the class... again."

Seema couldn't help but to crack a smile.

"Como mi estudiante estrella, could you please help him?"

"Sure, no problem."

Seema moved to the back of the class, NK following behind. Once they sat down, NK spoke.

"Um, what did she say?"

"Who?"

"The professor. You know, in the beginning, in Spanish."

"Oh. She said how I'm her star student."

"Oh...."

"You didn't understand any of what she said?"

"No."

"Not even the simple words?"

"Which ones were simple?"

"Increible!"

"What? Oh! You mean incredible."

"Yeah," Seema smiled and she started her work.

"See! That's what I mean. Why couldn't Spanish be easy?"

"What are you saying? Spanish is so similar to English."

"As if. I mean why couldn't it just be the word in English and then it ends with an '-o'? Like telephono for telephone. Or lampo for lamp? Or-"

"Um... that's not how you say lamp in Spanish. It's lampara."

"See, that's exactly what I mean!"

Seema simply smiled and shook her head. NK couldn't help but to gaze at her and Seema could feel it. NK saw that she was getting uncomfortable, so he dropped his gaze.

"So, um... you good at Spanish," he asked.

She laughed lightly. "I don't mean to brag, but yeah, I am."

"I see.... So... you think you could tutor me?"

Seema looked right up at him. "W-w-what!"

"You think you could tutor me?"

"Me? T-t-tutor you?"

NK couldn't help but smile at her stammering.

Seema gulped. "Um... o-okay... I guess."

"Great, cause I really need to pass this class, or I won't be able to graduate. I mean, you only need two semesters of Spanish, and that's a whole year for us."

"True, but this would be the fourth time I'm taking it."

"Why? Don't tell me someone as smart as you failed this class."

"Who said anything about failing? I just took it for the extra credits."

NK's jaw dropped and he just looked at Seema. Seema couldn't help herself but to laugh and she giggled away. NK recollected himself and he just watched her laugh.

"Alright," Seema said, once she stopped laughing, getting herself together, "when and where?"

NK snapped back to reality. "What?"

"When? And where?"

"When and where what?"

"Tutor...?" She looked side to side.

"Oh, right, yeah! Um... I'm free Friday?"

"Uh, sure. What time?"

"I'll pick you up outside your last class. Where are you then?"

"The field."

"The field? But you're not a cheer leader."

"No! I mean I'm at the track - I'm a runner."

"Oh! You fast?"

"I've won a few races."

"That's cool. So... I'll see you then."

"Why? You're not coming to class tomorrow?"

"What? No, I'll be here. I just meant-"

"Oh... okay."

Seema felt a bit silly so to ignore it, she focused on her work. Class soon ended and everyone walked out.

"Seema," NK called out.

"Yeah?"

"I'll see around."

She smiled. "Okay."

He smiled back and walked away and Seema felt herself blush.
