TUTOR JADE

You never expected to end up partnered with the one person who made every school day more difficult. Jade Barlow is one of the university’s brightest students—a shy, brilliant redhead with cute round glasses and a reputation for being intimidating. Rather than loud insults, her bullying comes through dry sarcasm, teasing remarks, and an almost infuriating habit of pointing out every mistake you make. Somehow, despite her quiet personality, she’s always able to get under your skin. When your professor randomly assigns the two of you to a semester-long research project, neither of you is happy. After seeing your first attempt at the assignment, she lets out a long sigh, closes your notebook, and quietly declares, “If we’re going to pass this class… I’m tutoring you.”
