Monday morning came by pretty fast then I expected. I tried my hardest to avoid Professor Walter today I don't know why but it was very awkward because whenever I thought about him my mind just drifted back to that night, the most amazing night I ever had in a long time. I usually went to the Lunch room during my planing period but I stayed in today and I didn't stay after school either I grab all the work that needed to be graded and took them home with me. I know I might just be taking this a little to far but I can't help it, I'm just not ready to face him just yet.

When Friday came around and I still haven't ran into Walter I was relieved. I mean what do I say to him, "hey we should do that again", I think not. As I finished cleaning my desk and putting a couple papers in my bag to grade on the weekend I heard a knock at my door.

"Can I come in?",Walter deep husky voice said as it echoed through my empty classroom.

"I was just on my way out".

"Are you avoiding me?", he ask as he slowly approach my desk.

"Why would I do that?", I ask cleaning up my desk so I could head out.

He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him, brushing my hair out of my face he lifted my chin slowly so that our eyes connected and all I could think about was that night and how amazing it was and how I wouldn't mind doing it again. It was just this part of me that just wanted to tear off his clothes right here and do it all over again, I couldn't control myself around him. "Are you okay?", he ask. I knew exactly what he was talking about and surprisingly no I wasn't pregnant nor did I miss my period, throw up, or felt dizzy I was perfectly fine which was a relieved.

"I'm fine Walter I just need to go home", I said pushing pass him and to my surprise he didn't even try to stop me he didn't say anything which I sort of wanted him to. "Am I over reacting or am I being normal?" I didn't want to keep feeling this way I wanted us to sit down and have a conversation and get to know each other without my mind drifting about that night.

After that day Walter haven't talked to me we seen each other a couple times but he never approached me nor did he even take the time to even look at me. I sort of got the feeling that he wanted nothing to do with me which was sort of my fault because I kind of made it seem like I wanted nothing to do with him. Though it sucked and it was hard for me to get use to this, I made through each day upset last Tuesday in the teachers lunchroom when I came in he was having a nice conversation with professor Clarkson. There was a lot of laughing and as much as I want to say it didn't bother me, it did I was jealous I couldn't help it I didn't know whether he was doing it to get me mad or to get my attention but mission accomplish but I kept my anger and jealousy under control. Walter wasn't going to have me look like a fool sure Professor Clarkson was young and pretty but rumors about her from other teachers was that she was engaged and she cheated on her fiancé so if Walter wants a cheating fiancé he could have her. Being a professor always made me feel like I was back in high school with the whole boyfriend drama, it gave me a headache. I just wanted a break from all of this the teachers, the students, the grading papers, and Walter thank goodness Thanksgiving was right around the corner. I had already brought my plane ticket and packed my bags just two more days and I'll be home. I was excited, and anxious to see my mom and also my dad and brother but mostly my mom.

After hours of grading papers I got up from my bed to go to the kitchen to find myself something to eat, listening to my stomach growl was getting annoying. Just as I entered the kitchen a knock came from the door. "Great perfect timing", I said to myself. I walked over to the door and opened it.
