Since yesterday mom had been trying to lighten my mood even though she had no idea what caused my mood to be so sour, I had been utterly depressed all throughout yesterday I didn't get to eat well too.
The events which occurred between me and Shawn haven't left my mind for one second, every time I think about it I felt like punching him in the face. Now I am in school finding it hard to concentrate because my mind keeps drifting off every now and then.
'i want to kill that dick!'
"Miss Engelbert?, Miss Engelbert?" I kept hearing my name from a distance. But the inner battle I was having within me compared to the various strategies to kill Shawn has taken over my mind. "Miss Engelbert!!!" The voice said louder this time and my mind snapped back to reality. I blinked rapidly trying to get my visual right on focus.
"Uhh?" I looked around me confused that everyone including the person in front of me were all staring at me with weird looks on their faces. "What?" I asked making my voice clear.
"I have been calling you for the past thirty-five minutes, in fact since the class began." The lecturer told me and then the bell rang and he sighs "See me in my office now!" He demanded and left. I watched as people packed their bags and left till it was just me, I sighed and picked up my books putting them inside my bag pack. I got ready to leave when the door flung open and a Chinese-looking girl entered.
"Hello my name is Aimee Shing and we are going to be best friends." She squealed loudly and grabbed my hand tugging me behind her as she walked more like run out of the classroom. I didn't get a second to grab her name or tell where she came from, are we in preschool where you can just declare friendship over someone. Well, Kaycee didn't want to be friends with me until we were ten, he feared I was a serial killer. I came to an abstract halt when I remembered the words of the lecturer.
"Hmm- sorry to burst your bubble but I got to go." I said to her and removed my hand from hers. "And it was nice meeting you Aimee Shing… right?" With that, I turned walking in the opposite direction.
"Wait!" I heard her call and I groaned internally, I didn't want to seem rude so I turned towards her with a smile. "Did I do something wrong?" She asked.
"No, I just realized I needed to see the professor and I am kinda late." She raised an eyebrow then shrugged.
"When you're done with your meeting I'll be waiting in the cafeteria." She winked at me and left. I rolled my eyes at her stupid assumption of me wanting to meet with the professor, the lecturer will have to swim in hell before he gets his hands on me. I continued my walk to the professor's office I also prepared some basic self-defense moves just in case things got out of hand.
I knocked lightly and I heard a faint come in, I entered and stood in front of his desk waiting for him to say something, after a while, he lift his head from the papers on his desk and looked at me, it was then I noticed he was young, like really, really young and hot to be a lecturer, he had his brunette hair neatly styled to the side and his sharp jaw had stubble on it. His eyes were dazzling blue I have to admit he is handsomely gorgeous for a lecturer.
"Take a seat." He said quickly snapping me out of my trance. I did as told and sat on a chair. "You have been acting strangely since today care to explain why?" He asked raising his eyebrow. Just that action made me blush 'geez Jay what has gotten into you, he is your lecturer remember' I kept repeating to myself.
"Strange? I wasn't acting strange and how did you know?" I questioned him sharply. He gave me a disapproving look and I apologized
"Sorry, sir I didn't mean that." I say.
"It's fine, I keep tabs on my student's wellbeing but what bothered me was the distant look you had on your face, you looked like you were going to murder someone, are you sure you're okay?" He asked me and I can't help but feel impressed when he said that.
"Whaaaaaaat" I dragged in a hit-pitched tone, cringing. "Nothing is wrong with me I was just a little bit stressed out that's all." I answered. Although part of it was true and a bigger part was a lie but I wouldn't admit it to anyone. I did enjoy thinking about Shawn, a part of me wants to hate him but another small part wants me to be close to him maybe because he is attractive.
'damn you stupid crush' I Chuckled at the thought and refocused my attention on my teacher who was looking intently at me with an interested expression. I raised a brow and he cocked his head to the side, a smirk plastered on his face. Realization hit me as I discovered I accidentally played my thoughts out, I looked down at my hands immediately feeling heat rise to my cheeks 'why do I always embarrass myself'
"So it's because of a boy?" He asked sounding cheeky. His voice had a hint of amusement and I blushed so much that it hurts and my cheeks felt hot like they about to explode, damn I wanted to hid my face.
"Not actually Mr-" I asked not remembering his name .
"Ramirez, Juan Carlo Ramirez." He responded.
"Yes, Mr Juan. I had other thing going on in my mind at that moment that is why I wasn't concentrating." I tried explaining.
"Oh really?" He teased. "It isn't a male personality?" I shook my head. "So my guess is that, this mystery guy of yours is the beginning and conclusion of this topic." He said and winked at me.
'yep he knew I was lying'
I sighed angry at myself and angry at the lecturer's cockiness, I swear for a lecturer he is really cocky I wondered if he was a player or a womanizer.
"Come on don't be mad I was just pulling your legs." He says and I pout my lips like a child. Mr Juan chuckled lowly, his voice sounding a little deeper in a sexy way that reminds me of a certain blue eyes. Wait a minute why does his laugh sound alike with the Grinch Shawn? I asked myself. Mr Juan checked his expensive watch and frowned. "I think it's fifteen minutes to the end of lunch you may leave now, I am sorry I used most of your time." He apologized.
"No problem sir." I stood up to leave. when I was close to the door he called me.
"Jazlyn just call me Juan when we are alone." He told me and a creepy smile smug his face. My eyes widen 'is he trying to flirt with me? Doesn't he know the policy of no teacher and student relationship'
