Coffee, Tea? Or Me?

Chapter 3

I walk in five minutes early, but almost everyone is there. Professor Dayn had not arrived yet. I take a seat in the second row, taking out my textbook, calculator, my laptop, and graph paper.

I sat for several minutes and checked my phone. A new message.

Sadly, it was not from Conner. It was from Crystal.

Hey girl! When do you have some free time?

I had three classes today, each two hours. Each right after each other.

Anytime after four o'clock. Why?

You'll see :) Meet me in our room at 5:30.

I put my phone down, realizing Professor Dayn was still not here. She was never late. I look around the classroom, and everyone is either finishing homework, on their phones, or talking to one either.

I wonder why she isn't here and ask a few people around. None of them knew. I considered telling the campus secretary, but someone was already asking. I look at my watch and see it's 8:10.

The door bursts open and Nick, the boy who went to the secretary, shouts out, "Dayn isn't here! No sub! Free time!"

The rest of the class cheers and I pack up my stuff quickly, wondering where Professor Dayn would be. But, of course, I would rather have free time than geometry any day.

I walk out of the classroom and walk back to my room. I try to get some sleep, but I hear my phone vibrate. It was Conner.

Let's meet at Latte Cafe tomorrow at 6:30.

I had an amazing feeling. I texted him back 'ok' and put my phone down. I get some sleep before my next class.
