Mia was sitting comfortably on her bed, with a massive medical textbook open to a chapter on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. She wasn’t actually reading the book, just staring at it, giving the illusion of studying. Mia already read the book twice, and found it extremely tedious and boring. She understood the material, in fact, she was quite intelligent. Her parents made her study a minimum of 6 hours a day. She absolutely hated it, but it was still better than training for the hunger games like she used to. Mia was disgusted of the idea of the games, she never wanted to play in them, but her parents did. Mia’s parents wanted fame and fortune, and would stop at no cost until they got it. So it was either study and become some super doctor or train for the stupid games and probably die a painful death. The choice was obvious. Either way, Mia would never make her parents happy, she was awful at fighting and survival and not much better at medicine. Sure, she was among the top students in her class, but it meant nothing if the thought of blood made her want to pass out. Mia’s teachers told her parents multiple times that even though she was smart she could never advance in this line of work because of her fear of blood, but her parents would never listen. They would simply scream at her and tell her suck it up.
Mia's thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. Must be something really important if my parents are willing to interrupt my precious studying time. Shit, this cannot be good. Mia was horrified to see her mom enter her room, followed by a boy. But not just any boy, Godric Heart! Mia shared a couple classes with Godric, but never had a conversation with him before, she never wanted to. His black tattoos and sharp teeth terrified her, it sent shivers down her spine, not to mention the rumours that were flying around the district. What the hell is he doing in my room? It was if her mom had read her mind, because before Mia had the chance to ask, her mom answered “Mia you know Godric, don’t you? Well I hired him to help you with your studies. He is your new tutor.” Rage was building up inside Mia, how could her mom do this to her? She knew how much she hated help, Mia wouldn’t even let her mom help her with dinner! But instead of screaming at her mom like she so badly wanted to, she replied in a clam voice. “ I don’t need a tutor, I’m doing just fine. But thanks for the thought. You know, if you really cared, you could do what everyone keeps suggesting and let me drop out of med school.” Mia could tell her mom was getting aggravated. “ I don’t care about your idiotic blood problem, you’re becoming a doctor! “ And without saying another word, Mia’s mom stormed out of the room, slamming the door, leaving Mia alone with Godric.
