I switch off the engine of my baby blue Vespa, and kick the stand, parking it on their driveway. “Seems like the house,” I say to myself, hopping off the scooter. I toss my helmet into the seat compartment and brush my hair with my fingers while looking at the small mirror.
Walking up the steps of their porch, I readjust my black tank top and my light-wash jeans. A little casual for tutoring a child at their home, but it’s a nice autumn day, and it’s the weekend. I press the doorbell and wait.
Tiny footsteps come running from the other side of the door, and the knob twists open.
“Hi, Miss.” The boy waves.
“Hey, Lucas. Ready to get studying? Is your dad home?” I look down, with a grin on my face. The kid has a silly green and purple dinosaur T-shirt on, and striped pants.
“DAD! SHE’S HERE!” He turns back and yells.
