Chapter 10 - Shane

I've met Aurora for an hour after school every day for two weeks and even tried to make conversation between classes and at lunch but she's avoiding me and ignoring any conversation that doesn't relate to schoolwork. In the first few sessions she shut down every attempt I made to discuss seeing her at Andromeda's, finally threatening to stop tutoring me if I didn't focus on the work. So, I've actually been studying just to try to work out a way to get her to talk to me properly. It's having an unexpected side effect in that I'm starting to understand what's going on in my classes, I even replied in French when Mr Gordon asked me something. I'm not sure who was more shocked but he took me aside after class, telling me I had a good accent and to keep up the good work, even giving me a friendly shoulder pat as I left. I've never had a teacher look at me proudly before, I'm not sure how I feel about it.
