I sat next to the grinning boys, suspecting they knew something was up. I struggled to focus as the teacher lectured, pacing the classroom. His pointed advice lingered in my mind.
In my imagination, he dances with bold, passionate movements that match the rhythm of the music. He exudes a magnetic sensuality that commands the attention of all around him. I daydream about running my hands over his chiseled, six-pack abs. If only I were that lucky.
"Stop overthinking," a voice reminded me again. I think this is who I really am - someone with a wolf-like spirit to guide me.
"Okay..." I whispered in response.
The lecturer commanded the room with an effortless grace and quiet power. As he passed by my desk, I caught a trace of his alluring scent and found myself momentarily distracted. I made a mental note to ask him later about his cologne. With some effort, I pulled my gaze away and took in the rest of the lecture hall.
Some students listened attentively while others slyly checked their phones. A few seemed lost in daydreams, with dreamy, faraway looks on their faces. I hoped my own expression wasn't as ridiculous. Glancing over, I caught Jade's eye. His silent laugh made me wonder - had he noticed my distraction? How embarrassing. I resolved to focus for the rest of the lecture.
Mr. Albanzo assigned the first two chapters for homework tonight. Then he said we could talk amongst ourselves while he completed some paperwork. I was so focused on staring at Mr. Albanzo that I didn't hear him call me up to his desk.
I hurriedly gathered my belongings off my desk and made my way to the front, catching a book before it fell. My face burned with embarrassment.
"You called me?" I asked, even though I knew he must have, since I was now standing before him.
"Yes, I was wondering if you could take this quiz. I reviewed your grades from your previous school and wanted to see if this class is at a lower level than what you've already covered," he said.
"Oh, that's okay, I'm happy staying in this class," I quickly responded, worried that I might be moved out of his class if I did too well on the quiz.
"Oh, no, I don't want to move you to another class. This is the most advanced English course we have. I just thought maybe I could give you some projects that would challenge you a little more, if you were interested. According to your transcripts, you like a challenge." He corrected her with a brilliantly white smile and a dimple. My heart speeds up. My cheeks turn yet another shade of pink. Why can't I control my reaction to him? I saw his smile get just a tiny bit wider.
"Oh, yes, I would like that very much. Thank you, Mr. Albanzo. " I said.
"Great, here is the quiz. It will also tell me what aspects of literature interest you the most, and we will focus primarily on them." he said, so I took the paper from him, wishing that my hand had brushed his hands, but sadly, he made sure it didn't. Back at my desk, I started the quiz. Joel looked over my shoulder and gave me a questioning look.
