Jimmy Choo Seduction and Nerds in Dark Places

Eric

Time goes by so fast when you're having fun.

Not.

It felt like forever while I sat here all day, teaching students in theory.

I like teaching, but I don't love it.

The tension at work could be cut, even with a spoon alone - making me wish for more non-working holidays in a year. 

Ping.

Grabbing my phone, I received a text message from Hannah.

"Hey Eric! Are you okay for lunchtime, tomorrow @ WhiteWalls? - Hannah"

"Sure. I'll see you there."

Ping.

"Wear something nice! - Hannah"

Shaking my head in silent laughter, I put my phone back on my desk and went back to work.

"Alright class, time's up. Pass your papers to the person in front of you "

Gathering my things, students started filing out of the room, when I saw a pair of Jimmy Choos-clad feet.

"Sir?"

Looking up, well, let's just say that I shouldn't have done that.

Stop. Stop. Stop. So what if she's a size D? She could be a size Z  for all you care but what you're seeing is still wrong!

Averting my eyes and clearing my throat, I found it in me to answer her

"Yes? What is it Ms. Sy?"-

Yep. Sabrina. Swim team champion, newsletter editor, rich college brat -

Smart as heck.

"Oh!," her eyes twinkling with mischief, "You see Eric, can i call you Eric?"

She said as she trailed one perfectly manicured fingernail across her chest.

"-uh. Mr. Tan would be just fine."

Smiling, she leaned forward on the desk. "Well, Sir. I think I might be needing some remedial lessons, are you free tonight?"

"Remedial lessons?" I asked her surprised, "But Ms. Sy, with your current performance, you don't need them at all!"

"But Sir -

"But if you should insist, I'll have the department arrange something for you, I'm sure one of the student assistants would be more than happy to review with you for credit.

Have a good day Ms. Sy."

With that I swung my bag on my shoulders and dismissed Sabrina, leaving her red faced and still staring at my retreating figure.

Sabrina POV

UGGGHHHHHH! 

Why do my plans never work? I mean, he's the hottest guy around, and I'm the top bitch of this university - it's so clear  that we're meant to be!

My seduction powers are so not working.

This is not my day.

Walking to my next class, i was suddenly sent flying to the nearest janitor's closet.

By a boy.

Oh. Not just any boy.

"Hey get off me!" Pushing off the guy on top of me, "Watch it nerd," I said as dusted myself off of all the dirt that now clung to me.

"Why do your people have to be so clumsy?! Argh!"

Fixing his glasses, he pushed off the floor and took my arm to help me. "Oh gosh, I'm so sorry! I was in a hurry and - are you okay?"

"No! I. AM. NOT. OKAY!" Grabbing him by his shirt, I pulled him out of the closet and into the bright hallways.

Squinting at him, I tried to memorize his features "You pushed me! Do you know who I am?"

He held up his hands in surrender, "I didn't mean to! I'm sorry, I just didn't see you there."

"Oh! Oh! really? You already have four eyes and yet you still couldn't see me? Are you kidding me?"

"No! But- Never mind!" He got out of my grip and squared up to me.
"I'm going, I'm sorry but with that attitude, you kind of deserve it too."

Shoving past me, he ran towards the Physics Lab and left me fuming.

"I am so not done with you! You-you ugh!"

Who does he think he is shoving me like that! Excuse me, hello! he's at the bottom of this University's food chain.

That guy - You better watch out, nerd.
