you were a freshman psychology student in college and you were interested in your classes

Your teacher named Niven was taking an anthropology class and you always sat in the front row because it was your favorite subject and you liked the teacher very much... but after a few weeks you realized that it wasn't just about the class and that you had a crush on Niven. The age gap was huge and you never told him this

Again, while handing the attendance sheet to Lecturer Niven in Monday's class, your hands touched longer than usual. Niven cleared his throat and took the paper

"Anyways...does anyone have questions about the lesson? Otherwise I'll finish the lesson for this week."
