My Teacher

Chapter 1

"Wake me up before you go go! Don't leave me hanging on like a yoyo-"

I silenced my alarm. There's nothing better than waking up to one of your favourite songs.

I set my bed and grabbed my toiletries, making sure not to wake up my roommate. I'll wake her up when I return.

Yup that's me, twenty-one years old and learning at the University of Aurora. I stay in a hostel on campus with my best friend, Tanya. I've been here for two years already and I love it.

My mother passed away five years ago and it's her money which she gave to me that I used to continue my education. She was a kind lady, and I missed her dearly. Her last wish for me was to be happy always, regardless of other's judgements. My father lives in our old house. He's not exactly a bad father, but he was a terrible husband. He used to abuse my mother by hitting her and he always ignored me or either shouted at me for no reason. But he's the only family I have left and I want to try get along better with him.

I finished dress myself after my shower and returned to my room.

"Wake up Tanya." I laughed. She was so lazy. It was 8 am and classes start at 9.

"Go away, Tina." She groaned.

After 10 minutes of bickering she got up and we made our way to breakfast.

I checked my phone. It read 8:50.

"Shall we go to class?" I suggested.

"What the hell! There's ten minutes left." She procrastinated.

"Fine I'll go." I laughed lightyly.

I stood outside the classroom and peeped inside.

Inside stood Mr. Ranawat, writing something on the board.

I knocked lightly and his head snapped to me. His eyes seemed to have quickly looked down my body but he then looked back into my eyes.

"May I come in, Sir?" I asked.

"Huh? Oh yeah, sure." He said quickly, his deep voice filling the room.

I entered and sat down at my desk in the front. I felt as if I was being watched but I pushed my thoughts to the back of my mind. I hadn't realised that Tanya was behind me the whole time.

"Hi bestie." She whispered.

"Hey."

She plomped down next to me and had a huge smirk plastered across her light brown face.

"What?" I whispered.

She leaned loser and whispered, "I think Sir has got eyes for you."

I almost laughed at the thought.

Tanya always used to praise Mr. Ranawat about how handsome he was, and almost every other hormonmal teenager always went 'gaga' over him whenever he looked at them.

I, on the other hand, think he's a fantastic teacher. Nothing more. Nothing less. Anyway, he always gave me great marks for my assignments.

Tanya always used to tease me and tell me that he did it just to get me to like him. But he's an adult, and most possibly ten years my senior.

"Sweetheart, open your eyes. Your beautiful hazel eyes." She said. "I stood behind you and legit saw him checking you out!" She whisper screamed.

"You're insane." I giggled. "Of course he wasn't checking me out, he's an adult." I protested.

"You're also an adult." She smirked.

"True. But I am his student and he is my lecturer." I pointed out.

"You're so mature. You need to live a little. Provoke his adulthood, jeeez why don't you try act like someone your age?"

"I like being mature. I guess I'm just naturally like that." I said, looking down. I didn't see any problem in being mature.

"Awww I'm sorry, I love you for who you are Teeeeeeeenaaaa!" She screamed...literally.

I quickly hushed her by covering her mouth with my hand. I looked up and saw Ranawat Sir looking at us with a curious look on his face.

I immediately blushed. Tanya and her loudness. I mentally laughed.

Soon, more students started piling into the room. Ranawat Sir's lecture went well, but then he gave us a lot of homework towards the end of the lesson. And they seemed too complex for my liking.

~~~~~

I don't understand anything! These examples which Mr. Ranwat gave us are too confusing. I checked the time on my phone.

22:30.

It's too late....

But I won't be able to sleep until I get this homework out of the way.

I slipped on my sandals and made my way to Mr Ranawat's cabin. (office)

It was slightly hot today so I tied my long black hair into a high ponytail. I wore black tights and a white tank top.

I peeped into his cabin and watched as he sat at his desk and typed away on his laptop. His hair was slightly dishevelled and he seemed really focused on what he was doing. I felt bad for bothering him but I really needed help.

I knocked gently onto his door. "Um...Sir?" I said squeakily.

He snapped his head towards me and a look of surprise was plastered onto his face.

"Tina?" His voice sounded strained. It sounded more gruff than it did earlier today. "What are you doing here at..." he looked at his Rolex, "almost eleven at night?"

"Well I needed your help with the homework you gave us. I couldn't comprehend it." I said, looking down.

"Why didn't you just ask me in class tomorrow? It's only due next week anyway." He said.

"I like being pro-active, Sir. And it irritated me that I couldn't understand it. " I stated, truthfully.

"Well it is rather late now, and I'm currently busy. Sorry, maybe tomorrow after class." He said, disappointing me. Darn it. Now I won't be able to sleep.

"Ok Sir. I understand. Goodnight." I looked down and walked out of his cabin.

As I walked away from his cabin I realised what an idiot I am.

You can't just knock at people's doors and ask them for help at eleven in th night! I mentally screamed.

Suddenly an arm wrapped around my wrist and I jumped a little. In front of me stood Mr. Ranawat.

"Come to my cabin, I'll help you." He said.

"Thank you, Sir." I smiled instantly.

We made our way to his cabin but then I realised that he was still holding my wrist.

"Uh...Sir?"

"Yes, Tina?" He stopped in his tracks and looked at me expectantly.

"Your hand..." I said looking at his large hand wrapped securely around my wrist.

He looked at my wrist and his eyes widened. He immediately retracted his hand and took a step away from me.

He coughed nervously. "Sorry, I hadn't noticed." He said.

"No worries." I brushed off the matter and continued walking to his cabin.
