  When Tuesday came around, Adel walked into her class after sighing deeply, in an attempt to calm herself. Luckily, she got there before Devin, and was able to choose where she wanted to sit. Sitting all the way across the room, from where she had always normally sat, she acted nonchalant as he walked into the classroom, and instantly looked at her.

She felt his eyes on her, but she acted as if she didn't, while typing away on her laptop. With her earbuds in, she focused on replying to the emails she had about work, while noting that she had six minutes before class started.

A small smile came to her face, as the catchy song played through her earbuds, and she was reminded of the small tattoo that rested against Kyung's rib cage.
She hadn't seen him since Saturday, and she honestly hadn't thought about him since then either, but now that he crossed her mind, she couldn't stop the bright smile that came to her face.

She realized that she probably looked crazy, as she sat there grinning to herself, and she tried to stop, but couldn't.
The only thing that made her look up, and gain some composure was someone sitting in front of her. His strong cologne combined with his jet black hair, made her aware of who he was long before she even looked up.

The cologne was a nice smell, only it made her quietly sneeze, "Bless you." Kyung said, while looking over his shoulder at the young woman. "Thanks."

Her eyes looking into his brought a smile to his face, "Morning, Adel." He said, "Morning." She said with a smile on her lips too, "Guess what song I'm listening to?"

Ky laughed a little while turning around in his seat, "What song?" He asked, and she shook her head while closing her laptop. "Guess."

As she leaned forward, she placed her chin in the palm of her hand, her ample breast sat up against the wooden table in front of her. She wanted to see if his brown eyes would drift to her cleavage, just as everyone else's had.

With his eyes trained on her's, he smiled as he guessed what song she was listening to, "Gale song?" Adel nodded, "That's such a sad song, everything okay?"

A cute giggle left her lips as she saw the sincerity in his brown eyes, "Yeah, well it's a Tuesday." He nodded, although he wasn't exactly sure what she meant by that. "True, it is a Tuesday, and if you need a stress reliever on a Tuesday night, you know where to find me, Adel."

Rolling her eyes playfully, she opened her laptop again. "Stop it." Once the lecture started, Adel listened with purpose as she took notes with her colorful pens.

A person in her class raising their hand interrupted her thoughts, and for a moment she didn't listen, until she said something that seemed to light a flame within Adel. For a moment she debated with herself, on whether or not she wanted to raise her hand and correct her, before she did. "Yes, Adel."

Her professor called out, making everyone glance at her as she spoke.
"Hi, yeah in regards to what Ashleigh just said, I just wanted to provide some clarification, because it seems that's what you might want?"

She asked the person a few rows ahead of her, "I think what I said was pretty clear, but I'm always open to being educated." Adel nodded with a shy smile, "Great, because you seem to have confused the meaning of the words equity and equality."

"Equity doesn't mean that people are treated the same, and given the same resources to succeed, that's equality. Equity means that because people of different circumstances, we have to recognize that, and give them what they need based on that."

"You can't have equity without equality, but you can arguably have equality without equity, However, even now this country has never used true equity to yield equality successfully." She stated simply, and talking over Ashleigh as she started to speak over her.
