I'm gonna be late! First day of college and already sleeping in. I groggily run into the biology building, but immediately run into a large man. My head hits his metal belt and I fall, scattering the books from my clutches.
"Oh! I'm so sorry- here let me help you" it was Dr Octavius. His large metal arms started to pick up my stuff. I need to get out of this situation fast.
"No- No I've got it" I give him a glare. I steal my stuff back from his claws and think about how my father would kill me if he saw what just happened.
I walk into class- luckily the professor hadn't come in yet. As I sat down in the large lecture room and got out my green folder I heard footsteps and clicking of metal come into the room. Oh come on.
"My name is Dr Octavius. I will not respond to any other name you may know me as. I do realize many of you were expecting Professor Xavier to be running this class, but he had some- let's say other plans. But again my apologies for being late I needed..." he trailed off and class went on boringly. Syllabus, future assignments, etc.
I swing on my cross bag and shuffle out of the room. "Y/N! May I have a word" damn not quick enough. I begrudgingly walk to his desk as classmates flow out the door.
"While I understand your frustration Ms. Parker, I need to know your intentions for being in my class. There's many others you can take if you don't feel your father approves- unless he made you be near me..." he thinks as he speaks on whether I was here just to spy for my dad.
"He didn't MAKE me take this class Dr Octavius-"
"Otto please" he strolled closer to me as I became increasingly more agitated.
"Dr Octavius. I want to remain as if you don't know my father and you are nothing but my professor. He didn't put me up to anything." I stormed out and I could feel Dr Octavius' eyes pinned on me as I left.
Though he's my inspiration for going into the science field my father is way too protective for me to get near Dr Octavius. Despite how I feel about him... Nope! Not even thinking about that. How dare he have the guts to call on me personally and make such a claim! But I won't tell my father he did that... especially when I do kind of like the attention.
