I released an annoyed sigh in front of the man in front of me to hide my blushing face.I heard him chuckle slightly at my actions, which only irritated me more. His laughter was annoying, like he was teasing or mocking me. I wasn't sure, but it seemed like that was his tone.Instead of stooping to his foolishness, I ignored him because I knew that in the end, I would be the only one to lose out. Obviously, I would be the only one who would get annoyed in the end. So instead of confronting him, I just bent down to pick up the scattered papers on the floor.I didn't expect that as I bent down, the damn guy also did the same, causing our heads to collide. We both groaned in pain."Ouch!""Fuck!"We groaned in unison as our heads collided, causing us to fall to the ground. My butt hurt from the impact.I couldn't help but hold my head when I felt a slight pain, and I didn't expect it to hurt even more when I touched it. I had touched the sore part of my head. I was stupid to think that t
Who are you? Why are you late?" His thunderous voice echoed through the whole room and made me shiver.At the same time, I froze in my place and felt a cold chill. The professor stopped speaking because of his words, and the whole room went silent. Later, I felt the scrutinizing stares of my classmates, which made me more tense, and I gulped."I said, why are you late, miss?" he repeated the question, and I couldn't answer his first question, which caused the mountain of anxiety in my heart to double.If the anxiety I felt earlier was normal, now it grew even stronger, intensified, and my knees were shaking even more than before. I held onto the window sill next to me, as I felt like I was about to fall at any moment.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down and get rid of the trembling in my knees.I didn't know why I was so nervous. I didn't know why my body reacted this way, even though it was just a simple question. But it seemed that his aura had something to do with it.
"Can I go ahead?" I said to Candice as we stood up together. She nodded, "Sure, I'll wait for you in the room," she replied, grabbing her shoulder bag and standing up.We walked out of the cafeteria together but separated as soon as we got to the hallway. I made my way to Prof's office while she headed to our classroom.I took slow, cautious steps as I walked towards Prof's office. I was scared because I thought that the jerk might still be there. I didn't know why I was afraid of him, but I think it had something to do with his intimidating aura. He had this kind of aura that would make your knees tremble whenever you were around him or whenever you looked into his eyes. Every time he spoke, his baritone voice would sound angry and strict, which would make your knees even shakier.I knew all about that because I had experienced it firsthand. I quickened my pace as I remembered how the jerk had bothered me yesterday. I was scared of seeing him a while ago, but now I was angry. I was a
They swallowed before quickly turning their head repeatedly."N-o, it's not like that," they denied what I said."I called you because of Dean's orders to me," they added, grabbing my attention."Ha? What did Dean order you?" I asked, feeling slightly nervous.The tough attitude I had earlier disappeared into thin air because of what I heard them say.I was slightly worried because I thought that what happened yesterday in Dean's office might have something to do with this.I was worried that maybe it was because I got a zero for the question that Prof asked me yesterday, which made Dean realize that I was stupid. And because of that, he might have thought that I didn't deserve the scholarship I had, so he decided to take it away from me. And maybe that was what he ordered Prof Buenaventura to do, to tell me that I would be losing my scholarship.I was even more worried because I knew that it was possible. There was a high chance that it was the reason, because honestly, I wasn't real
In my peripheral vision, I saw Dashiel nod before grinning. My whole body tingled with excitement when I saw his smile.The professor regained my attention when she spoke again."And because Dean saw you and Dashiel yelling at each other in the hallway yesterday, he thought you were fighting, so he realized that I should make sure you two get along before I leave. He thought that you wouldn't be able to perform your duties well if you were fighting," she explained at length. The emphasis on her words was evident.I didn't know if my ears were playing tricks on me, but the way she emphasized every word made it seem like she was annoyed with me.I was dumbfounded by what she said. So that was the reason why Dean asked her to introduce us to each other. But she made it so complicated by using the word "getting along." It was such a simple reason, yet she made it seem so complicated.If only she had been direct, then I would have understood right away. Then she wouldn't be so annoyed with
"I am Dashiel Davin Carter, honey," he whispered in my ear, causing me to feel uneasy. And I never expected to feel more uncomfortable until I felt him take a slight sniff of my neck and whisper, "You smell so good, honey."Even my body hair stood on end upon hearing his words. As much as I wanted to push him away, I couldn't move my fingers, let alone my entire body. I was frozen, and I didn't know why my body reacted that way to his actions. Maybe I'm just not used to someone smelling me, especially on my neck, which is my weakness."Ehem!"Luckily, the professor cleared her throat and the guy backed away from me. I also straightened up from my position. When I looked at the professor, I saw her raise her eyebrows while looking at me intently.After a while, she gave me a disgusted look before approaching the guy. She held his arms before looking back at me and raising her eyebrow once again."Honey, are you done working out?" she sweetly asked, with a hint of flirtation.I was surp
"Yes, it's me, thrist," was the smiling response of the handsome person in front of me. Later on, he quickly ran towards the space between him and Prof. When he reached Prof, he hugged her tightly as if he really missed her Meanwhile, Prof remained rooted in hef place with a look of surprise on his face. As for me, I was left staring at the two of them in a daze.As he hugged Prof, I couldn't help but feel curious and wondered what was going on between them. Why did the man hug Prof so tightly as if he missed hed so much, as if they haven't seen each other for years? I also wondered what the nature of their relationship was that they were on a first-name basis with each other.I thought that the professor would respond to the man's embrace, thinking that she also missed him, just as the man seemed to feel towards him. But it seems like I was wrong because my mouth fell open in surprise when I saw with my own eyes how the professor pushed the man away from him, causing the man to step
Time flew so fast that I didn't even realize it was already afternoon, and this was our last subject for the day. I was just bored, leaning on the classroom window, staring outside. I was getting bored, to be honest. Who wouldn't be bored when the professor in front of you speaks so slowly and softly that you couldn't even understand them?Besides, I already know what he's saying since I did advance reading, so I was sure I wouldn't understand what Professor is saying because he's so soft-spoken and slow. In other words, I self-studied.It seemed that I wasn't the only one bored in this class as I heard Candice sighing beside me, a sign that she was also bored.I just sat there the whole time, during ma'am's lecture, as if I had no life or interest in the world. I only came to life when we heard the bell, a sign that our class was over."Goodbye, class," ma'am ended her long lecture, the only one who understood it.She didn't wait for our response to her goodbye class, quickly leaving
