My Mate The Teacher

Chapter 1

I unpack the last of my boxes and organize the contents on my desk. My phone began ringing, I answered it.

"Hello?",I said.

"..Alexis."

"Huh? Who is this?"

*muffled noises and static*

*Click*

I put down my phone and walked around my apartment. There wasn't anything that led me to belive someone was in here. I went back to my bed room and pulled on a pair of shorts and a tank top.

I laid in bed for awhile before drifting off to sleep.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

The sun shined bright through the windows. I pulled myself out of bed and got dressed. I put on a red t-shirt and black yoga pants.

I grabbed my keys and went down to stairs to my car. On my way a buff guy with black hair ran into me. We both tumble onto the pavement .

"Ouch!",I yell holding my arm.

"Argh! Shit, I'm sorry.",he jumped up and pulls me off the ground.

"Jesus christ."

"You're bleeding...", he looked at my elbow.

"I-I'm fine."

"No come here. I'll fix this.", he began pulling out his keys and pulling me behind him.

He picks me up and sits me on the counter effortlessly.

"I'm sorry sometimes I just don't watch where I'm running."

"It's okay. Can I get your name?", I say as he dabs at my elbow with a napkin.

"I'm Colby, my dad owns this building."

"Oh. Cool. I'm Alexis."

"Nice to meet you. Your skin is so soft it's a shame that you fell. I'm sure you're a very busy woman.", Colby places a band-aid on my arm.

"Well thanks for the band-aid but I have to go. "

I got off the counter Colby didn't move back so he was only a few inches away from my face. He looked into my eyes. I frantically looked around for my keys.

"Uh my k-", He held up my keys. "Thanks.", I said taking them back.

He opened his mouth to speak then bit his lip and smiled at me.

"What?", I asked him.

"Nothing, just I gotta get to work so I need to shower."

"Right well catch you later.", I said leaving the apartment.

I got in my car and drove to school. I ran across campus to get to my Economics class. The bell rang as I took my seat. The teacher began his lecture and at twelve - thirty the class was over. I gathered my things and found a tree outside the Westinghouse building and began to draw.
My phone beeps and it's already one o'clock. I put away my things and head to do an interview with the guy who passed the new education fund bill. I walked inside and went up to the tenth floor.

"Hello ma'am how can I help you?", the secretary asked.

"I have an appointment.", I say holding a clipboard and pen.

"Name?"

"Alexis."

"Right head on in."

I walk up to two big oak doors surprisingly it opens easily and I go in.
