Prof. Hunt's POV

I rolled out of the bed and look for my clock. 5:28 a.m. it read, how great. I might as well get ready for work. I got out of my king size bed and stretch in front of the window. Still exhausted I headed to the bathroom. I took my shower, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. While getting dressed I founded my attendance sheet and glanced at it for a minute.

' ....Addison Sinclair... ___________? A new student? Let's see if this one like the others with no talent'. I thought.

I headed out the door and got into my blue Aston Martin Vanquish. Wouldn't take me long to reach the campus. With this beauty here it be about 10-15 minutes at 55 mph. I better start the car or else some of the students will be at the door waiting for it to be unlocked. I drove out of my gravel driveway and went down the street.

'Glady, no students are here, yet...' I thought.

I had a seat at my desk and brought out my documents and laptop. Looking through the attendance I see the 'new student' haven't been to the main office. Just out of curiosity I click _____________ background history. 'PRIVATE INFORMATION. Need student, relative's and school staff permission to access foward. '

"That's weird, I never seen this before". I said.

"What is Professor Hunt"?

A dark skinned woman stand near the whiteboard. She was an inch taller than me, two inches with her favorite pair of heels on. Her hair was a known hair trend called the undercut. As far as I know I seen men used this hair style then women. She dyed her hair purple and gold, wore a strapless white tank top and a yellow high waisted pencil skirt, and light gold colored denim sleeveless jacket.

"Mel, what are you doing here"? I asked.

"Nothing much." Mrs. Mel replied.

"Oh, okay then bye". I said.

"Oh, how nice of you,Thomas. Kicking out your co-worker like that is that how you approach a guy/girl"? she bantered.

After her teasing statement, I looked through my documents.

"Okay, okay I'm SO sorry. Anyway, I see you trying to go through _________ files. It's not going to happen, the files are very private." Mrs. Mel apologized.

"Yes, I noticed that. It's very strange or how should I say it..."

"Weird"? Mrs. Mel asked.

"No that's not it... oh! Uncanny!" I exclaimed.

"What uncanny? I never heard of uncanny. What does-"

"It is a synonyms of weird, eerie, and et cetera. You're a professor at the most exclusive, expensive university. You should know stronger words by now. I said.

I look at my side and see Mrs. Mel on the verge of tears. What a great way to start the morning, make you colleague feel like an complete imbecile, and having students coming in, wondering what the situation is, and whispering. Great.

"Oh crap, my allergies are acting up! I talk to you later Professor Hunt." Mrs. Mel sniffed.

"Mel wait, I should apologize-".

She had already left the classroom before I even apologize. And she made an excuse to leave and not be seen as a cry baby. I feel horrible. And now class will begin in about ten minutes. Let me get my stuff together.

More and more students filled the room. I might as well start on the one and half hour lecture, after I do attendance.

"Hey you." I said.

I called out to one of my student, Lisa Field, very known on campus for working at cafes and being the daughter of Professor Field.

"Good morning, Prof. Hunt! Is there anything I can do for you"? she sang.

"Yes, there is. Have you seen Addison Sinclair and... ah the new student _______ ________"?

"No, I have not. But, if you like I can go to the attendance office and ask. And get you the Caramel latte at my work." she said.

Lisa F. is known for debating and trying to bargain. I can't get mad, she offering my favorite and saving me time. And it's the first day, I can go easy on the new brats.

"Okay, go and if anybody ask why you're not in class, just say you are doing an errand for me." I exclaimed. "Oh and-

"Extra caramel, I know"! She yelled as she leaves the room.

"Okay everybody, name's Professor Hunt, or Professor H. I would make you guys write an 6-page essay of different celebrities starting off their career. Which I would absolutely give no f***s of giving. In the end I would give you all F. It's the first day here. So you all will write an essay, however, it will based on these questions behind me. Okay? Easy 100. Go." I yelled.

Students were shocked after I gave them directions. And dropping the f-bomb. Oh well! But supposedly they supposed to be mature. Yeah right.

Fifteen minutes in and Lisa comes back with her latte and also mine, and documents? Which I didn't ask for. She came to my desk and whispered lowly.

"Sorry, my dad stop me on my way and told me go to the printer room. And I found these with no returning email address." Lisa whispered.

"Thank you, Lisa. Everyone thank Ms. Lisa or you guys would be doing the regular assignment."

I turned around and seen Addison Sinclair and (f/n) (l/n) walking through the door in the back of the class. How dare they! I marched all the way back to the room.

"You two OUT of my classroom NOW"! I yelled.

I scold them and the new student stand his/her ground. There need more students like that. Went back to my desk and continue my lecture.

"What is it about this student, that makes me yearn for more." I thought. "I doesn't matter now, I must continue."
