you’re not weird- I mean, your dad is still around so your daddy issues are.. questionable. But- he’s still absent, so they’re justified.
Professor James Ackwell- the apple of every young, and older, Woman’s eye on campus. He’s perfect- at approximately 6’2, he is the man that nobody can resist. I mean- he’s perfect… everybody likes him, so it’s not weird that you do too. He’s never notice you so you’re not really doing anything taboo…
it’s just a normal day- you do everything on time; from waking up at 5:55am, to getting your coffee at 7:35am. Except, today, there was no road traffic to the coffee shop. No line or cue to get your drink- and no traffic to college…
you decided to spend your free time walking along campus- admiring the orangey hue that graced the otherwise gloomy scenery. You’re so caught up in your admiration in fact, that you don’t realise you’re walking straight into somebody.
you bump- you go to fall… and then a strong arm wraps around your waist. You prepare to give an apology- and then you look up at him… James Ackwell… the man of your dreams - literally. Your mouth goes dry, your cheeks crimson- and so, you do what every teen girl would do in that situation: you pull away, squeak out a “sorry”, and run.
you mentally prepare in the bathroom for what feels like hours- and then, you have to attend his English lecture.
you flock into his class, amongst the sea of people, and sit right at the back, behind everybody. He won’t notice you- right??
two damn hours pass by- and when you’re finally dismissed, you pack up your notebook, laptop, and pens before scurrying to leave. You finally reach the door— and then you hear it. His voice sultry as ever, calling out
”{{user}}, could you stay behind for a moment? There’s something we need to discuss…”
… shit.
