“Pardon the intrusion” a girl with weirdly familiar glasses and red dyed short hair enters the room.

What?! A girl?!

“Excuse me” another girl with weirdly familiar scary blue eyes and brown hair enters from behind the first girl.

Two girls?!

Hold on a second. What is going on?! Why are there two cute girls entering the room just when he said my tutors arrived. There is no way, right? RIGHT?!

Are these two cute girls going to be my tutors for real? This feels Illegal somehow…

They are totally different from what I imagine, I didn't even consider them being girls. Now that I think about it makes more sense. Statistically, girls outperform boys academically speaking. Well, maybe I lowered the stats a bit too much… Anyway, having two beauties to tutor you is every boy's dream and I never thought I would be able to live.

But I don't think a dumbass like me should have beautiful girls as tutors. Also, there is a risk that I get too distracted… I mean I'm a high school kid at the end of the day, you cannot ask me to sit between two cute girls and put all my attention to a book, there is just no way.

What concerns me is why would Bernard choose two girls? If his goal was only to help me get better grades then it doesn't matter, but he also wants me to socialize and make friends, and that's going to be hard if it's going to be girls. For a first timer like me, I think someone of my same gender would be better, or at least it will make it easier for me to socialize. I have to say though, it's not because I don't know how to handle girls, I've been living with two for the most part of my life. I know my way around them. That's why I don't like this, because I know they are a pain I'm the ass to deal with. Like how Jane will get grumpy for a few days each month and be totally unmanageable. Or how Emmi will have sudden changes in mood, like hanging around my room one day, and then calling me annoying and not wanting to see me the next day.

But, in the end, I love them both, so I endure the hard times.

But putting that aside. Why two? Wouldn't just one be enough? I have so many questions…

"Thank you for coming," said Bernard.

"No problem Mr. Barret" says the girl with glasses in a soft tone.

"So, why did you call us here this early?" asks the other girl with a harsher tone.

"Let me first introduce you guys” he said while standing up.

At that moment the girls turned to me, like they just noticed I was in the room.

“This is Yuki Nakano” Bernard pointed to the girl with glasses "And this is Lucy Auger” Bernard continued while pointing at the girl with the blue eyes "Girls, this is dumb guy" finally, he pointed at me.

"Hey!".

"What a weird name…" said Yuki.

“That’s obviously not true! Chris! My name is Chris Miller!”.

“Already knew it”.

But I can tell, based on her expression and her tone, that she believed “dumb” was my actual name.

While this stupid situation unfolded, Lucy just stared at me with her sharp look. It's almost like she is scanning me with her eyes. Somehow, I felt like I already experienced this before.

“Yeah, I’ve seen this guy before”.

“What?!” I look at her in surprise.

“Now that you say it. I think I have too?” Yuki added.

Am I really this popular with the ladies? Probably not. I have to stop the delusion. Thinking about it, the only other people I have met so far are those annoying girls from the entrance… oh shit.

The three of us look at each other while Bernard stares at us intrigued.

“Ah!” We all remember each other.

“You are that idiot from the entrance exam” both said at the same time.

I finally remember these girls. What is the possibility that we will encounter each other again?

“Who are you calling an idiot?!”.

“But you are”.

“Shut it, Bernard!”.

“Hey! Where is the respect?”.

“That’s my line” Ignoring Bernard, I look at the two girls

So, these two got perfect scores. Well, they did help me out the other day, so it makes sense, they seemed pretty smart. But these girls' personalities… I don't think we can work together. I don't really need their help anyway. I'll stick to my plan of non-stop studying until I get higher scores or die, whatever comes first.

"Well, seeing that you guys already know each other, things should go smoother".

"What are you talking about?" Lucy asked.

"I'll have you girls tutor this guy, so he doesn’t flunk this year".

"Huh?!" They don't like the idea at all.

This is an awkward situation. Imagine having perfect scores in an entrance exam for a private school and having to teach some moron with bad grades like me. Although they did help me on the day of the entrance exam, I don't think they want to tutor me for a whole year. These perfect girls, with perfect grades next to someone like me, who is incompetent in everything. Just thinking about it made me depressed. I want to run to my house and cry in my bed while eating ice cream and listening to sad lo-fi music.

"What is the meaning of this Bernard?!" Lucy asked with a harsh tone. It is obvious that Lucy doesn't like the idea of being my tutor. I think she doesn't like me at all. Every time she looks my way, I can feel knives piercing my body.

"I would also like to know what all of this is about" Yuki asked too. Her expression remained the same.

“You girls are the smartest in the grade and this dumbass is the stupidest. Although he seems long away from salvation, I’m sure you can help him avoid failing”.

“Will you stop calling me a dumbass?!”

“Of course, I'm not going to force you girls to be their tutor”.

“Don't ignore me!”.

“Because I believe tutoring this guy is the worst punishment you can give to somebody".

Why am I being roosted every minute?

“I'll make you girls a proposal”.

"..." the room stays silent for a few seconds.

“We heard you” Lucy seems interested.

“I know you girls aspire to attend the number one university in the country. So, if you become dumb guy tutors and get him to graduate, I'll get the principal to write you a letter of recommendation”.

The room gets in complete silence. That is big. He told me that the principal owed him some favors, but to fill out a recommendation letter… What did Bernard do for the principal to own him this much?

Anyway, I don't know if they are going to accept it. If they really got perfect scores, I don't think they would need a letter of recommendation, they could enter any university they want.

“Even if what you said is true, I don't have any experience teaching others, so I don't think I can help this guy” Lucy broke the silence.

“I also lack the abilities to perform such a thing, I will be of no use” Yuki also seems to oppose.

“There you go again with your pessimism. Show a little bit of confidence. Before you say you can't, you have to try first”.

“...” the girls stay silent.

“Oh! I almost forgot” Bernard pulls out two pieces of paper “Here are your results on the entrance exam”.

Just before they can grab their papers, Bernards pulls his arm back.

“What do you think your scores are?” he asks the girls.

“...” the girls look at him hesitantly.

“E-eighty…NO- Seventy probably” Lucy very hesitantly responds.

“W-well, I guess a seventy wouldn't be that inaccurate” Yuki says, also hesitant.

“Hmm, it's that so? Well, check them yourself” Bernard gives them their papers.

“This is better than expected, I'm satisfied” Lucy looked at her exam in relief.

“It wasn't on my calculations, but I have no complaints” Yuki was also relieved.

“That's all you have to say for getting a perfect score in the entrance exam of a prestigious school?” Bernard looks at them in a disappointing way.

“...” the girls look at him, not knowing what to say.

I can somehow understand Bernard. Having that result should make you jump in happiness; make you drop a tear or two. But instead, they reacted like it meant nothing and it was just pure luck that they got that grade. But maybe it is true. I don’t know how smart these girls are, so the possibility of them having a perfect score by chance is not zero.

“Haaa” Bernard sighed “For now go home. Tell me what your decision is, respecting the proposal first thing in the morning on the first day of school” Bernard opens the door of his office. The girls get out in silence.

“What was that about?” I asked Bernard.

“They have always been like that, having little faith in themself”.

“They have the intelligence but lack the confidence?”.

“Yeah, kind of. You on the other hand have the confidence but lack the intelligence”.

“Hey…”.

“Well, I don't think that confidence can get you too far away. So, I hope you let those two help you out”.

“What if they refuse?”.

“They won't”.

“You speak like you know them”.

“Because I do”.

This guy and his secrets. Whatever, I don’t really care what history he has with those two. Well, there’s somethings we need to clear out first.

“So? Why does it have to be two tutors? And also, why have you been calling me dumb the whole day?! I have a name you know?!”.

“I already told you. I want you to make some friends”.

Bernard responds to my first question but totally ignores the second.

“I know that’s not completely true. Tell me, why two?".

“Don't ask, just enjoy” he said in a mocking tone.

“What does that mean?!” I don't get this man at all.

“Come on, I'm trying to put you with two cute girls, you should be thanking me right now”.

I'm losing hope in a normal conversation.

“I know I asked you to make some friends and socialize” he started to walk to my side. “But you are in high school now. There is something more important, your goal now should be” he stopped and put his arm around my neck. “Getting a girlfriend”.

“Huh?!” Is this guy drunk?

“Listen, if they accept to be your tutors, you must make one your girlfriend”.

“Bernard, I'm sorry to inform you but, you have dementia”.

“Well, if you decide to go for the harem route, that’s okay. You have my full support”.

“Please do yourself a favor and stop talking” I said to him while putting his arm out of my shoulder.

“Is that the real reason for having two tutors?” I asked him.

“That’s not important right now”.

“It is”.

“Let's focus on which one you are going to make your girl”.

“...” I turn around and walk towards the door “I will pass the next exam by myself; I don’t need any help.

“Are you sure about that?”.

“Completely”.

“Well, if you change your mind. The girls will be there”.

“Not happening. I prefer to avoid them to be honest, and I think they also prefer to avoid me”.

“I don’t think that will be possible” he whispered suspiciously.

“What?”.

“Nothing… By the way, how is your new apartment?”.

“Oh, it's nice, pretty spacious. I didn’t think Jane would find an apartment close to the school so quickly”.

“Glad you like it”.

“Why did it sound like you were the one who gave it to us?”.

“-cough- Anyway, I think it’s time for you to go back home and think about what we discussed today. Remember, it is for your own sake” he said while pushing out of his office.

“Ufff” I sigh in tiredness.

So many things happened this morning, I still can’t believe it. Bernard is an idiot, a pain in the ass. But well, I'm here because of him so I guess I owe him some gratitude. I'll have to at least give it a try, see if those girls can actually help me out. First, I have to wait and see what the girls decide. Maybe they really don't want to get involved with me. And I don't blame them, I did not have the best first impression. Well, it's not like they did either. I'll get the answer on the first day of school, so I just won't worry about it too much until then, I probably won't see those two even after starting school, the school is too big.
