5 A tutor..

Isabella rode her bicycle with all her strength and the cold wind blowing across her face calmed her thumping heart.

Soon, she reached their apartments and hurriedly boarded the lift.

The door opened with a bang and Eric who has been engrossed in the movie lifted his head..

He frowned on seeing Isabella's red face.

" Why did you ride so fast on such a cold day wearing such thin clothes? Look at you, your face is frost-bitten now.." Eric was displeased with his elder sister.

" It's nothing.. I will be ok after a bath. Eric, make some thing light for dinner.."

" We are only having bread and milk.. Even if you want something extravagant we are having nothing.." Eric joked while entering the kitchen to toast the bread.

Isabella's hand shook but she silently entered her room and closed the door. She threw her backpack and grabbed her night pants and entered her bath.

Isabella soaked in the tub with hot water for a while and changed into a neat set of pajamas.

Isabella forgot that she had been kissed forcefully.. Right now, only Eric's words are revolving in her mind. Though he did not say on purpose, she knew that their current situation is very difficult.

Isabella looked at her little spiral notebook and looked at the list of shops she prepared. She found that there are about ten shops remaining. So, she sighed and kept the book back in her backpack.

" You still have a chance.." Isabella comforted herself.

" Bella, dinner is ready.." Eric shouted from kitchen.

Both brother and sister finished dinner and Isabella took up the role of cleaning dishes..

" Goodnight Bella.." Eric yawned while entering his room.

" Night Eric.." Isabella sighed and after finishing cleaning everything Isabella switched off the lights and entered her room.

Isabella sat on her bed and opened her laptop. She then checked her email and her actions froze for a moment..

Isabella immediately snapped out from her gaze and visited tutes.com, a website where one can act as an online tutor.Not everyone can join the website as a tutor, one has to pass their test. Online invitations will be sent to those who cleared their test.

Isabella logged in to the website and immediately opened the notifications box..

" Accepted.. I got accepted.." Isabella stuttered before laughing happily.

She placed the laptop on her bed and hurried towards Eric's room..

" Eric.. Opened the door.." Isabella happily banged on his door.

" What is it?" Eric frowned on seeing his sister's excitement.

" Did someone accept you?"

" Yup.. I got accepted in tutes.com. Eric, now I can earn some decent money.." Isabella looked at her brother with shiny eyes.

" That's good for you.." Eric smiled happily. He knew how hardworking his sister is. She was the one who took care of him. He vowed to himself that he would settle well and take care of his sister in future.

" Sweet dreams.." Isabella punched on his shoulder and ran into her room.

Isabella took the test on mathematics. Only the best ones will be accepted and Isabella applied as she is confident of her grades. But, she didn't think that she will be accepted. So, she is really happy and excited.

Isabella found a notification popped up on her screen.. She opened and saw an elementary school problem. She accepted the question as it's a piece of cake to her.

Isabella clearly typed the steps on her screen and posted a reply.

" Thank you.." the student sent a reply.

Isabella smiled happily and logged out.

She hada good sleep that night..
