she realized Elly was not only the handsome lecturer she had been admiring but also her lecturer for Introduction to Psychology.
        "I'm going to read out your names  from my list as you give me the answers to my previous psychology assignment," Elly announced,....his eyes scanning the room with a hint of expectation. "I want to see if you've been paying attention to the material."

Ella hesitated, feeling a surge of anxiety. She had missed the first week of class and hadn't had a chance and time to complete the assignment that was due before she attended class . Her mind raced as she tried to come up with a plan, but her thoughts were a jumbled mess.

Elly's eyes scanned the room, his gaze lingering on each face before moving on to the next. As he consulted his list, his eyes stopped on a name. "Ella," he called out, his voice firm and clear.

"Ella," she replied, .."yes sir" her voice barely above a whisper, her heart racing with anxiety. She felt her face grow hot as all eyes turned to her.

"May I ask you to share your thoughts on the assignment," Elly requested , his eyes narrowing slightly. "You haven't had a chance to complete it, have you?" He asked.

Ella shook her head, feeling a surge of nervousness. "No, sir.   She replied  ,I just joined the class. I haven't had a chance to catch up yet." She fidgeted in her seat, her eyes dropping to her hands as she twisted them nervously.   She couldn't believe that  the lecturer was standing next to her   looking directly at her with his piercing  brown eyes.  Ella couldn't stop admiring him.  Despite her not looking directly to his  face

Elly's eyes locked onto hers, a hint of amusement and curiosity in his gaze.    He  kept on wondering who this beautiful lady was.... He seemed to be sizing her up, wondering if she was up to the challenge of his class. Ella felt a shiver run down her spine as she met his gaze, her heart pounding in her chest....
   Yo..you are Ella Millian Johns.... Elly asked while stamaring   .."yes sir" ,she replied. ....ohhh I have a friend called Millian your name caught my attention ...He continued ....
Ella couldn't stop thinking how Elly's friend looked like was she beautiful  , jolly!   why did he bring her up.  ...a feeling of jealousy arose , she couldn't stop thinking of how his friend was...  "Ella... Ella"  what are you thinking, she lamented to herself    ...as she  blushed .... Elly noticed her blush and he couldn't stop smiling.   ....His smile was breath taking  that left Ella's heart in jeopardy.........

After a few moments of awkward silence, Elly began to teach, launching into a engaging lecture on Freudian theory. Ella listened intently, her anxiety momentarily forgotten as she became absorbed in the material. But her reprieve was short-lived, as Elly soon announced, "Now, it's time for the groups to present their assignments. Group 1, you're up first. Group 2, you're next, and so on." Ella's heart sank as she realized she had no group, and she had no assignment to present. She felt a cold sweat break out on her forehead as Elly's eyes locked onto hers, a hint of expectation in his gaze.......

"What is Ella's next move.... stay tuned as  we navigate a Heart's desires of these young lovers " ..........
