Professor André

Chapter 6

A month rolls off since we've been at Camburgh. Jessica and I are finally settled in and used to our daily university life.

"Which club did you join?" Jessica asks me, excited.

"I honestly don't remember. It has something to do with bettering society or something like that." I tell her.

"There's no way you forgot."

"I did," I reply.

"Anyways, I joined the debating club, and I'm so nervous. What if I'm not as good as before?" She says, looking bummed out.

I turn to look at her.

"You're not as good as you were in high school."

She stares at me patiently, waiting for me to continue.

"Oh, that's it. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk." I say before clasping my hands and looking out the window.

"To be honest. I think you've gotten better."

"You think so? I haven't noticed." She says, smiling.

"Yeah. You're right where you're supposed to be. Trust me. You're going to have those people second-guessing their existence."

"Thank you. I don't even know where the thought even came from." She says.

"You'll see that you don't have to overthink it so much," I tell her.

I log back onto my laptop and continue updating my blog. I notice I gained ten new viewers, which makes my night. I am excited that people want to hear me talk about my favorite books.

Just as I'm about to close my laptop, I receive a notification. I click the mail icon, and it takes me to an email from profesor André. He corrected and graded my paper with small notes. I decide to say thank you to him with the slight hope he'll see it and fall in love with me. Pathetic, I know!

   "What you up to?"  Jessica asks as she walks over to me.

  I turn around to look up at her.

  "Just sent in the last assignment I had for profesor André," I tell her.

  "Oh! Do you have anything planned for the rest of the day?" She asks.

  "Well, not really. I was planning to watch a movie or something, maybe.

"Okay, can I ask you a favor? Please don't say no."

  I turn my entire body around to face her.

  "What is it?"

  "So I have to collect something from my cousin, Maria. She can't post it because it will take too long to reach me, and I need it today."

  "Oh!"

"Could you collect it for me? I have a long meeting later, so I won't be able to go."

   "Oh yeah, I can go. Where is it?"

  "Belair Heights."

  "Bro, that's like like twelve years away from here," I tell her.

"It's not! It's only like an hour away. Please, if you do me this one favor, I'll owe you." She says, clasping her hands.

  "Fine! Gimme the info." I say to her.

  "Thanks. Thank you so so so much!"

  She opens her phone and sends me the location.

"Is that it?"

  "Yeah, that's it. I'll call her and let her know you're coming. I'll also send her number to you so you can be in contact with her."
