      The next week was nothing short of disappointment. Professor Maddox hasn't even hardly looked my way, stopped me from leaving class, or asked me about how I think the newest reading is.  By Thursday at the end of class I'm positive he wants nothing to do with me after saving me from that dreadful night. 

     My heart breaks and I can't even come to terms with why. "Because you like him you moron!" my inner thoughts say. I closed my eyes and walked out the door feeling totally defeated. I made it through my last class and all I want to do is curl up in my bed and sleep.  I got to my room and of course Avery was laying across the bed with her nose in her books.  I went straight to my closet after saying hi and changed into my sweats and t-shirt on.

    "You o.k.?" Avery asked with concern on her face.  I just gave her a weak smile and climbed in to bed.  "Yeah, just tired."  I answered her.  Like I'm going to admit I'm heart broken over someone that was never even mine.  I'm pretty sure admitting something like that would earn me a laugh.  Avery sat up and looked at me like she didn't believe me and said "you wanna go get some deep dish pizza?"  Like that's going to help.  "No, I'm just ready to call it a night, I'm really fine so go and stuff your face."  She looked at me and smiled.  "o.k. you want me to bring you anything back?" I wanted to say "yeah if you see Professor Hottie could you bring him back with ya."  That thought made me  laugh that escaped and Avery looked at me like I was crazy.  "Sorry, I was thinking...never mind I'm good" I explained my outburst.  She just looked at me with wide eyes and rolled her finger in a circle at her head like I was crazy and pointed at me.  That earned another laugh and she smiled at me and said "I'm going to go find Grace, I'll see ya later."  With that she grabbed her phone and purse and left. 

     I laid there and tried not to be upset over something that I clearly shouldn't be upset over.  I was failing miserably at it.  After laying here for what seemed like hours, but wasn't, I decided to grab my kindle and find a good book.  I decided on Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren, one because of the man on the cover reminded me of Gage in his suits, and two because he just landed himself another name.  I had just started reading when my phone buzzed.  I grabbed it and it was a text from Avery. 

Avery-Your hot Professor is here! 

     My hot Professor? Shit does she know that I have this sick obsession with him.  No way, I haven't even talked about him all week.  I send her a text back.

Elli-He is not MY hot professor..is he alone? 

      I know I shouldn't have asked that last part but honestly I was dying to know. 

Avery- He is....Why would you ask that trick? 

     Letting out the breath I didn't realize I was holding I text her back.

Elli- To prove a point....He is not MY HOT PROFESSOR. 

      There take that! I've never been a good liar but that sounded good enough.

Avery- Nice try bitch!! I know you better than you think.  And just so you know when he seen me walk in he looked excited.  That changed tho... When he seen you weren't here he looked sad!  js ;o) 

       I couldn't help but roll my eyes.  Yeah, I'm sure Avery is no physic.  She might have had me begged but I doubt he was sad that I wasn't there.

Elli-Whatever.....your delusional woman! now leave me alone I'm trying to sleep! 

     Another lie, but she'll never know.
