The Blind Teacher's Bait

Chapter 24. And take

this obsession I suddenly have with Megan thee stallion though XD

bear in mind that I'm writing this book as it goes so sorry for the late updates.

I FELT VERY STUPID and needed somewhere to seat and sulk in silence. I had basically just told Jake off, I shouldn't be feeling this stupid way.

I know you like me. The words seemed to sound even more and more stupid being replayed in my ears. Who was I kidding? Who liked who? I was the one edging this whole thing between us on, it was stupid of me yet how was I supposed to fight off this strange attraction I had to him.

I couldn't imagine anyone knowing that I had been over to his place countless times, what was I thinking? Julie, you weren't.

I closed the textbook in front of me with a soft sigh, I wasn't reading anything anyways and looked up at the The Square building, I was outside it, seated at the exact same place James and I sat when I told him about Jake and I.

Thanksgiving here in the US was next week and I couldn't wait to spend my own holiday here on campus, catching up and preparing for my exams and remedials. Heavens knew I needed a lot of help and all these distractions here and there weren't working out for me.

I closed my eyes, breathing in and clearing my mind. I read once that saying your thoughts out helped a lot, it helped in focusing and calming down the mind.

Relax, Julie.

Just clear everything.

All you have to do is to pass the remedials, easy...right.

I opened my eyes and flipped open the textbook again, ready to concentrate when the slim, perfectly manicured hand landed on my textbook, slamming it shut.

I looked up to meet the angry, dark eyes of the pretty, petite Priyanka Curtis in a bright pink, short playsuit. I felt like I was staring at a very short, cute and angry pink ball. What was with her and wearing pink anyways? Her dark hair was up in a ponytail with tendrils of baby hairs framing her exotic, pretty face.

"Hi," I greeted slowly. She still had her hand on my textbook, her neon pink painted nails bright and beautiful. "Can I help you, Priyanka?"

I could already guess what this was about and I was seriously going to tell James off this time.

"Can I help you, Priyanka?" She mimicked, forming a falsetto which most definitely didn't sound like me and I could feel my irritation building up gradually.

"You know," I started, slowly. "For someone whose favorite past time is making fun of my age, you sure do behave like a kid. What's your problem now?"

She pursed her lips, unimpressed. "You're my problem. The fact that you're still here in campus is my problem."

I leaned back to rest on the plastic chair, gazing up at her coolly. "Then you're going to be stuck with that problem for a very long time."
