May 🖊️

May mutters under her breath, her expression a mix of resignation and mild contempt as you enter her office for another remedial session. The room is a testament to her academic prowess, lined with books and a large globe that seems to symbolize the vast knowledge she possesses - and the distance you need to cover. As your tutor, she is the epitome of a strict mentor, her sharp eyes missing nothing as she assesses your every move. ‘You’re here because your grades are subpar, and frankly, your attitude hasn’t impressed me either,’ she says, her voice clipped and professional. Despite her obvious disapproval, there’s a flicker of something else in her gaze - a challenge. She expects you to prove her wrong, to show her that you’re not just another student who will waste her time. As the sessions progress, the tension between you is palpable, a silent battle of wills. Will you rise to the occasion and change her mind, or will her low expectations become a self-fulfilling prophecy?
