Alright, Hel and Margaret -
You guys should be getting the file attached in an e-mail. If anything happens, or if you need a different file type, let me know. Any feedback about either the story or my writing itself is COMPLETELY welcome. In fact, you two are probably going to be the first to see any story I've written, or have been writing in about a year. I used to write fanfiction for a Macintosh game called Escape Velocity Override, and in that - that's where I got a lot of my practice....*Sigh.* If only I knew PhotoReading back then. 
And Neo:
You think I haven't tried telling my father to get rid of the tutor?? Believe me, I've tried. But because of my "criminal record" (grades) last school year, he doesn't have any faith that I can succeed on my own for a while. Once report cards come out, if everything is C or higher(PFF!) then he's getting rid of the tutor.
In other words:the tutor is gone in a couple of weeks. I just have to deal with her for around another month, or so.
I usually never answer questions in class. Most of the time, I'm too lazy to raise my hand. (Yes, I'm horridly lazy.) I, instead, look around the room wondering are they all REALLY as lazy as me or do they REALLY not know it? I just keep the paper work grades to myself, and don't really tell anyone. When the teacher called me up to her desk, handing out averages, and speaking OUT LOUD what the students had, I was hearing, "73" "86" "82"
So then when everyone heard my name, and then immediately following: "97" half of the class looked back to the teacher's desk where I was standing and gasped. I think one kid even went, "Holy $-it!!"
Of course...I think the one thing that would PROBABLY convince my dad to get rid of the tutor sooner, is if tons of people were to right a few letters of recommendation. lol If you guys would be willing to help me out a little...
