Yes, professor...Don't call me that

Chapter 3 - so many new friends

The next morning I woke up with Ella staring at me. „Good god, what's wrong with you?" I shouted and shot up. „What? Can I not stare at my friend sleeping in a non creepy way?" She defended herself. „There is no non creepy way to stare at someone sleeping, Ella!" I yelled at her and threw my pillow at her. „What time is it?" I groaned. „10 and you have to get up, because I want to check out the cafe down the road and I'm really hungry. Get your ass up, Y/N!" She yelled and I sighed and got up to get ready for the day.

I checked my phone just to find a new message from Natasha. I was too tired to check it last night.

Natasha:

Hey! It seems like you are always in a rush and I just wanted to let you know how cute you look, when you are all over the place!! When are you going to give me the chance to pay you back for the coffee?

(I'm glad it was a text message and she couldnt actually see my reaction to it, because I'm red like a tomato, again.)

Me:

Heyyy! I'm sorry I had to leave so early, but my friend had an accident and I really needed to help her with it. And thank you very much for that compliment, I have the feeling that I have made a complete fool of myself everytime I have seen you :)

(It only took her a couple of seconds to reply, so I was wondering, if she had been looking at our chat and waited for me to reply.)

Natasha:

Oh no! Is she alright? Also you made a cute fool out of yourself, so there is no reason to be embarrassed :) So when can I take you out for another coffee?

Me:

She's fine, no need to worry. But thanks!! Also, when do you have time? Cause I just moved here, so I don't have anywhere to be anyways :)

Natasha:

How about tonight?

„God, what are you smiling about?" Ella asked and I looked up from the phone. „I might finally get over the jetlag. Is there a better reason to smile?" I chuckled and she laughed with me.

Me:

Sounds good. 7 in front of the cafe?

I sent the text and then Ella and I made our way out of the room. We went to the cafe and ordered some breakfast. Once we got our food, I looked at my phone again, just to find another message from Natasha.

Natasha:

Perfect.

„You really have to tell me what's going on? Why are you in such a good mood?" Ella shouted and I put my phone down. „You know, usually people only complain if their friends are in a bad mood and not if they are in a happy mood..." I chuckled. „Well, I know you better than that and you are never smiling like that without a reason and because I have seen you naked in so many occasions and know every little detail about you, I should have the privilege to know every little detail about you!" Ella said and I just started laughing. „What? I'm being serious, Henry!" She scoffed. „I get that, but I just don't understand how seeing me naked has anything to do with this." I chuckled. „It means, that there's nothing, not even a mole on your body or something, that I don't know about, so I should know about your reason to smile as well." She argued and I guess she has a point, in her really weird and crazy way. „Fine. You remember that girl from the library?" I said and she looked at me suspiciously. „The one that paid for your charger?" She said and I nodded. „What about her?" She then asked. „I kinda went out for a coffee with her..." I chuckled nervously. Ella hit my arm and acted offended. „But our promise, Henry!!!" She yelled. „I'm sorry, I'm just...and she is...I mean..." I stuttered, but didn't really know what to say. „Yeah, I get it. She's hot and totally your type, so go for it. But I'll still drag you to all the parties and you don't get to abandon me, understood???" She then said. „I promise." I answered and held my pinky out for her. She accepted it and for the rest of breakfast we made plans for exploring some more parts of the school. „You know I saw a flyer about an lgbt+ support group. That could be interesting for you. You could use the support." Ella said after a while. „What does that mean?" I looked at her. „It means that I am the only one you are out to and every other person you have a relationship with is freaking homophobic and the most important reason is, that you never actually did anything with a girl. So what if you and charger girl take a step further? Would you even know what to do? You've never even kissed anyone..." Ella ranted, but I interrupted her at one point. „Okay. I get it. Just shut up about that, will you. I'll check it out." I sighed and she looked satisfied. „That's great. Are you ready to go?" She then said and I nodded. We paid and left the cafe. „I'm going to check out the art building. You wanna join me?" I asked Ella. „Not really. You know I'm not the biggest creativity junkie. I'm going to pass on that one. We can meet afterwards?" She said and I chuckled and nodded. I was about to walk away when she yelled after me: „The gay club has a meeting in an hour. I expect you to go and I will ask them afterwards, if you actually went!" „Yes. I understand, Ella. I'll go." I shouted back and made my way down to the art building.
