"You'll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut." – Dr. Seuss

Bella's pov

Waking up every day at 5 am has now became a habit of mine and I no longer complained about the same. That is how my day usually starts waking up, getting ready for my job at a near bakery shop called 'roses'. So I quickly showered, changed into comfortable clothes, ate my cereal and was now all ready to go.

(The bakery shop)

This job was actually very relaxing and easy for me, because I was always the one opening the shop and during my shift almost no one comes to the bakery, so it's actually my 'me time' where I can play music and bake in peace. After baking and setting up the pastries, cakes, cupcakes I decorate them and place them neatly, by the time I am done the next shift person named Laura comes and I am off to go to school.

I am not really a big fan of going to school , because I don't really know anyone there. But this is for my own benefit, as I don't have to waste my time upon people and there love life dramas. Thankfully it's my final year, so I'll soon be done with all this.

My life wasn't always like this, it was actually pretty normal when my dad was still around, but his death changed everything. Now I had to support my mother and brother emotionally and financially too. I also payed a lot of attention upon studying because I had to get scholarship for college in order to complete my dream of becoming a successful businesswoman.

Before his death I actually had a friend in school, who is now the most popular girl here, Madison. She wasn't always like this either, she used to be actually nice and sweet towards people but I guess time changes everything.

At school I just attend all my classes, eat my packed lunch, go back to my place and then off to my second job. I usually stay up late to study as much as I can because of which I have these huge dark circles. The only time I look forward to is the weekends where I spend time with my family and enjoy laughing with them.

With the same routine I was done with school for today and now headed for my second job of the day which was waitressing at a restaurant. It was a well reputed restaurant and I got pretty well paid there.

Once I reached I changed into my waitressing clothes, and started working.

"Hey Bella , can you go and attend table number 5 for me please, I really need to go back to my grandma to check up on her" I heard my co worker lucas requesting.

"Yeah sure don't worry and go she needs you" I replied while smiling.

I then headed to table number 5 to get there orders.

I didn't really expected people of my school to be here so was shocked to find the group of three popular boys from my school, on the table.

I decided not to worry much about it as they probably don't even know me, and that is where I was wrong. As when I went towards them, they seemed to recognize who I was.

"Isn't this Bella from our school?" Jacob said, "seems so" replied Cole, whereas Xander was just plainly staring at me.

"What would you like to order sir?" I said trying to change and distract them from the topic. But they seem to have ignored my question and continued whispering to each other.

After some minutes of discussing something, Jacob spoke up, " Bella can you please sit down, as we want to talk to you about something." I wondered what did the famous boys want to talk about so I sat down without thinking much.

" As you know that we all are quite rich, as we have our own family businesses, we are the ones who'll be taking after our parents. The only problem between that step is that we need to have good grades to show our parents that we are capable. Now this is difficult as we all suck at studying ." Jacob started explaining, I wasn't getting how I was to be involved in there problem so I asked " what does this have to do with me?"

" This is where you come and help us with our problem darling" replied Xander. His voice is very smooth and he has a great British accent which made his voice sound even more sexy. He is definitely very hot and good looking.

Then I realized what he just said " What?" I said, I really didn't understand what was my role in them having bad grades.

" We want you to teach us till the final exams, and we will pay you more than you earn here, this way it will help make your life easier and help us getting our dream come true" said Cole.

Comprehending the information I was given, I didn't know what to say or do.

"So let's make a deal sweetheart, we pay you and you tutor us in exchange." Said Xander

"Why me though? You can easily afford a real tutor instead" I said to which he replied " We can't hire an actual tutor as then our families will come to know about it, and we know you are our schools biggest nerd so who else better for the job than you" he replied easily while smirking.

" Think about it Bella, this will actually help you a lot" said Jacob, he was the kindest out of them I could just tell this by looking at him.

I started making a mental pros and cons list and came to a conclusion that this opportunity can actually help me a lot, as I won't have to work at two different tiring jobs, I would get to spend more time with my family, and teaching them can't be that bad as I'll get to study and revise too.

With this I was done thinking and replied, "Okay I'll do it, but I do have some conditions."

"And those are..?" Asked Cole looking bored already.

"Well I want Sunday off, I'll still be going to my morning job which is at a bakery and I'll only tutor you after school. I don't want to tutor at my own place so you will have to decide that. Plus I want more money than I make here only then I'll be willing to leave this job" I finished.

"That was it?" Said Xander and started laughing, and continued "For a minute I thought you actually had some serious rules regarding this. Don't worry darling we'll pay you way more than you make here."

I felt quite nervous and cautious when he called me names.

"Yeah so it's done then. You'll be starting from tomorrow itself and we'll text you about the whereabouts." Said Jacob feeling relaxed like his one big problem was solved. I wrote down my number on a piece of paper and handed it to them, with this all of them got up and left the diner. And I decided to go to my boss and tell him about my resignation.

Well Today was definitely different than my other days, as it involved me interacting with people.

I still am not very sure about the decision I made today and hope teaching them won't be so difficult because I actually feel really great after quitting the job which I didn't like, I really don't want to return to this job.
