"What? You're crazy, Hazel! He's a fucking professor!" I shouted at her. She pressed her hand on my mouth, shushing me up, because my voice was loud, and we were in the cafeteria."I know, right! But you know, I just couldn't help it. The biceps, Nathalie. The biceps..." she whispered in awe. I could see hearts forming in her eyes while she looked at my back.I followed her line of vision and saw that it was Professor Evan coming toward us.He looks damn good in his white formal polo shirt. It hugs his biceps while holding the food tray.Shit!"Oh Goddess, we need to go!" I hissed at Hazel and grabbed her wrist. I know I was feeling guilty, but I don't care!Every time I met Professor Evan, I just remembered all the embarrassing things that I had done and told him.So what if he looks like my ex-mate?It's not him! I should stop being a crazy stalker!"Let's go!"Hazel and I couldn't finish our lunch because of what I did. She was irritated, but she couldn't do anything because she wa
I was having a nightmare again about Steven, so I skipped class, as Sylvia had advised. She was worried sick about me. I tried to ease her worries by making a joke about my health, but the fear in her eyes made me guilty."This is not progressing, Nathalie! The medications you were taking do not have any effect on your body anymore!""Mom, I'm really alright - "She cuts me off, "No. Your condition is getting worse, my dear..."My mother was already stressed about me, and I reassured her that I would do just fine. I could feel my heart clench when I caught her crying in the kitchen. The fact that she cried because of me made me feel guilty.A doorbell was heard in our house when I was chilling in the living room. Sylvia was cooking and stopped me, saying that she would get it."Mom, who was it?" I asked while turning on the TV screen. When she didn't reply, I looked back and saw that it was an unexpected guest."Professor Evan..." I whispered and looked at him with widening eyes.What
Professor Evan took a leave of absence for a week after I went back to classes. For a reason that I did not know, I did not dig deeper into that.Hazel, on the other hand, was so worried about me when she found out that I was sick again, but I reassured her that I was fine now."Hey, I got something to tell you!" Hazel whispered to me while we were walking in the hallway. I clutched my books and turned my head towards her, "If this is about your new binge-watched series, then I won't listen to you - "She rolled her eyes, "Of course not! I met Professor Evan's girlfriend talking to the Dean!"I stopped walking. "Girlfriend?""Yeah, that woman named Emily. I found out she was his girlfriend!"My mouth fell open. "Hazel, she wasn't his girlfriend. Who told you that?""Duh, I have so many sources! They confirmed it!""Are you sure?" I squinted my eyes at Hazel.She sighed, looked around, and showed me the pictures on her cellphone. I could feel my heart beating against my chest because o
Evan smirks at my reaction as he maneuvers the car to a familiar route.I turned to him and hissed angrily. "You shouldn't have done that!" He was clearly enjoying my reaction. "Are you embarrassed by me?"My cheeks turned red. "No. I'm just... uncomfortable with people suspecting us. What would they say after seeing that scene?""Nathalie, you have to chill," he grins from ear to ear and glances at me. "I was just taking you inside my car. What's wrong with that?"I fell silent after that and just enjoyed the green scenery of the road. Evan was weighing the reaction on my face. As soon as he pulled over to my favorite Burger Station near our house, I looked at him."How did you know this place?"He smirks and said, "Just a gut feeling that you would love it here. Come on," he said, tilting his head and went out of the car. He opened the door for me and held my hand. My hand was shaking and sweaty."Is it okay to hold hands here?""Yes," he replied confidently. "Your classmates rarel
I stared at Professor Evan and bit my lower lip. All of my rational thoughts faded away because I was so enthralled by him. He growled before kissing me again. My body involuntarily sat on his lap, my arms wrapped around his shoulders, while he was guiding my chin to kiss properly.We were so lost in the moment. I could feel my heart beating rapidly against my chest. His hands lowered down to my buttocks and massaged them.I let out a moan because of that."Fuck!" he whispered, and he plunged his tongue inside my mouth. His hand was shaking, and I know that he was just controlling himself not to hurt me."E-Evan..." I moaned his name on his mouth over and over again when we heard a clicking sound and a flashlight coming from the window.As fast as the thunder, I get up from his lap and look around the room."Who is that?" Professor Evan asked, covering his mouth. He let out a deep sigh first before standing up from his chair.His eyelids were still drooping as he looked at me. I proba
Hazel began crying in front of me, which only confirmed her guilt for what she had done. My anger towards her was palpable. "Why did you do it?" "I was jealous of you and him! You two were so close!" she admitted. "But that doesn't give you the right to betray me, Hazel!" I shouted at her. Advancing a step, I declared, "You are my best friend. I trusted you with my life, yet you betrayed that trust! You exposed my traumatic experiences through a tabloid!" "I'm sorry, okay?!" She sobbed, wiping her tears away. "I didn't mean to! I was just so consumed by jealousy and hatred for you!" "I thought you were my friend," I murmured, bowing my head, no longer able to face her words. Now, she glared at me. "I thought the same! You knew I liked Professor Evan, yet you tried to take him from me!" I was taken aback by her accusation. "I wasn't taking him from you, Hazel! Was he even yours to begin with?" She looked wounded by my response. "I hate you so much I wish you were dead, Nathalie
I have tried all means to contact Professor Evan, but he hasn't answered my calls. I purposely skipped my last class because I wanted to visit Professor Evan's condo. My remaining cash was just enough for me to get there, but the guard told me that Professor Evan had moved out.I was late.In my room, I cried myself to sleep and blamed myself for what I had done.Why didn't he even say goodbye to me properly?I wonder if he pities me. That would be even more heart-wrenching.I kept thinking about it until I fell asleep—but I was awakened by a sudden noise in my room."Who is it?" I mumbled to myself, clutching my blanket. My gaze swept the room, landing on a man's silhouette.Gasping, I seized my table lamp and clenched my eyes shut, bracing to confront the intruder when a familiar voice halted me."It's me, Nathalie."My eyes widened. "Professor Evan?!"He emerged from the shadows, leaning against the wall. His expression was unreadable; I couldn't discern his thoughts."Evan," he co
Before I could respond to Lycan Steven's offer, a howl was heard from inside the forest.In the thick of the night, under a moon that hung heavy and ominous in the sky, my heart raced with fear I had never known before."What's happening?" I gasped, asking as I looked around, alarmed by the howl."I think a rogue saw me killing his fellow rogue. Now, he's calling for his other rogues!" Lycan Steven replied, grabbing my wrist. "It's going to be dangerous for you. Let's get out of here first!"Another howl was heard. Steven and I were running, our feet barely touching the ground as we maneuvered through the dense underbrush.He was stronger and faster than I, so I couldn't keep up with him."Fuck, I can't put you on my back because a rogue might plunge himself onto my body! I don't want to risk your safety!" Steven hissed, paused, and then carried me in his arms, bridal style, while still in his human form."Steven!"As we paused for a moment to catch our breath, the stillness was shatt
