The Professor

Chapter 11

Eva's POV
Today was Saturday.
Colin broke up with me on Friday.
All I have known for the past several hours is tears, tissues, chips, and sad movies. Is this what breakups are like? I wish I had gone through this when I was younger, just to be prepared for this feeling when I got older.
I wonder how Colin's doing?

Colin's POV
I was pacing the living room. Thinking, thinking thinking.
How is it that, I've known this girl for a little over a month and I'm crying about her? I obviously couldn't think of an answer since I've been pacing all bloody day. At this point, I started thinking about why I liked Eva.
1. She is insanely smart.
2. She understands me better than any one else.
3. She's absolutely stunning.
I couldn't think of a more perfect human.
I then tried to think of her flaws- which is awful, I know. But, I kept thinking and racking my brain for any flaws and.... I couldn't think of anything. The girl has no flaws. That I know of, at least. But then I remembered why I broke off the relationship.
The university. The damn university. Then an idea appeared in my mind and I disregarded it immediately.
But..

Eva's POV
Waking up this Monday morning was grueling. I had stayed up last night doing the homework I had forgotten about until then.
I knew today was going to be miserable. It was Monday, I was depressed, and the bags under my eyes were quite a sight.
I packed on the makeup until it looked like I had someone else's face and made my way to my first class. I whizzed through it and my other classes as well. I should take more difficult classes next semester. This is just busy work for too much money. And don't even remind me of the student loans I'm going to have after this.
I decided to take an ally-way shortcut to my last class. The street had cobblestones and it was loud when I walked on it with my ankle boots.
I almost reached the classroom until I ran into a familiar face.
Allison Reed.
Allison Reed attended my high school in New England. She hated me for all four years of high school because we were in constant competition in our academics. Apparently, we both had the same dream college in mind and here we are.
"Eva, is that you?" Allison asked cocking her head and furrowing her eyebrows.
"Oh my gosh, Allison?" I questioned, with my premium acting skills.
"I haven't seen you in so long, how have you been?" She sounded genuine for once.
"I'm pretty good, just exhausted. What about you?"
"I'm great! I love Cornell so far. And all of my teachers are good too," she smiled.
"Good! Well it was nice to see you!" I said and started to wave goodbye before she cut me off.
"We have got to catch up sometime! Here, give me your number so we can catch coffee sometime," she said while shoving her phone in my direction. I was hesitant but I didn't want to seem like a bitch, so I typed my number out on the screen and handed it back to her.
"Can't wait to see you!" Allison said and abruptly hugged me. I can't say that I completely hated it but it was weird.
We exchanged goodbyes and went our separate ways, me completely confused on our chat. She was never this nice to me in high school, maybe she's changed. I shrugged it off and arrived at my last class. Not even acknowledging him, I walked to the back of the room and took a seat there.
While taking out my supplies for this class, I didn't look up once. But I can't avoid him for the whole class period, so I glanced up once at him and he was already staring at me. I cannot avoid how attractive he is! These next few years here are going to be difficult.
