"so... im gonna go murder my sister. thank you for tutoring me."

"no problem. do you need to be tutored tomorrow too?"

"uh no. but i'll let you know if i need help. it was nice talking to you jordan, besides that really embarrassing moment that came up."

"i'll talk to you later carla."

——————————
i hope that new kind of formatting wasnt too confusing. i also want to comment about carla: she can go on dates without ho-ing around or being considered a slut! i dont need haters in this book so back off lmao. shes an independent woman who can make her own decisions. also its been a while since ive done precalc with like graphing trigonometric equations and my final is coming up and i struggled writing that part because all math has left my head.
