SHORT STORIES

PERFECT

Wow, he is so handsome. With his dark hair that glistened in the sun to look brown. His grey eyes that I can get lost in. I can't believe he doesn't have a girlfriend. Well, I guess that is good for me. Maybe I should confess to him. I watched him grab his food from the cafeteria and sit down in front of me. He smiled at me.

"Hey Kathy" he said.

I smiled and looked down at my food tray.

"Hi."

"You look cute today," he said.

My eyes widen. He said I look cute? Well, I can flirt back.

"Th-thanks." I whispered. Shit, I can't flirt back. Focus Kathy!

"So what are we going to do for the Christmas festival?" He asked me.

"Oh! I have some great ideas." I said perked up.

"What are they?"

"Well, there were a lot of people that wanted the guys to dress as maids and girls to dress as butlers."

"You will look really cute in a butler's suit."

Did I hear that right? Does he think I like cute? Wow! I looked down and blushed. Ugh my face keeps getting red. I need to stay focused. Why can't I flirt back?

"Are you okay?" He said interrupting my thoughts

He asked putting his hand on my forehead to check my temperature but I moved away. Luckily, no one was there in the café to see us. My eyes widened, I got up quickly and grabbed my stuff before walking out of the café. My face is still red.

"Hey, Kathy?" I heard someone say.

I turned around and looked to see Mr. Tran. I smiled at him. 

Mr. Tran is probably the most amazing professor I have ever met. He is caring and involved as a professor. His courses are so interesting.

"Hey," I said.

"I was looking for you."

"Oh, what is it for?"

"Well, you know the festival is in a few weeks and this week it is your job to work on it." He said.

I nodded, "Sounds good"

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Taylor will be helping you set up"

As those words left his mouth, my eyes widened. "I know you guys will do a great job," Mr. Tran said patting my shoulder and walking away.

~~~~~~ after class ~~~~~~

It is 4 pm and I am waiting near the storage room for Mr. Taylor to show up. He is still not here. I was hoping to catch him, in a cute outfit. I had gone to the bathroom before coming here to make sure I looked good. I made sure I was showing a bit more of a cleavage than usual. I even folded my midskirt a bit to make it shorter. Sighing, I sat down on the ground with my laptop and started to work on my assignments. I shouldn't have taken off my underwear in hopes of giving him a glimpse of what he could have if I was going to sit on the floor. 

"Sorry, I am late. I had to talk to one of my students." Mr. Taylor said walking towards me. I looked up and him and smiled, "It's okay, I got time to finish my assignments"

"What course is it?" He said now, looking down at me. Hopefully, he can see my cleavage just a bit.

"Your class actually, I'm almost done. Would it be possible for you to look over it once I'm done? I would like some feedback"

"Of course, I can go over it after we finish setting up unless you have any other plans"

"No, I don't. Thank you for looking it over"

"We will head over to my office after but let's get started"

I nodded and packed my laptop in my backpack. I got up from the floor and wiped the dust off my butt.
