~ Oh, my. Oh, my. This is a tragedy~ 🎶

Jenae

God? Why me?

"You're taking this class too?" Jae smiled at me and I answered, "Aw-huh... yeah."

Her gaze lingered on me so I asked a question to lessen the awkwardness between us two, "Uh- why you have this class? Y'know it's undergraduate?" And I know your ass too smart for your own good.

"Oh, yeah." She told me, "I thought this class would be easy so I chose it. You?"

I stared at her a little too long before snapping from my trance, "Oh... y-yeah. Sure, thought it was easy... like you said."

She then smiled at me and went to takeaway a seat as I furrowed my brows in confusion. Why is she being so nice! Man why'd she have to be in this class? Why? Why?

After my classes I was leaving off the campus when I heard a voice behind me say, "Done with your classes for today?"

I glanced behind me and kind of jumped when I saw Jae. I stopped walking and she walked up to me. "You wanna grab a bite with-" "-Nah," I declined and she asks, "Why? Do I scare you or something?"

Yeah! You creepy as hell! But I just laughed, "Nah, never that. It's just that I've gotta go... and meet Professor Hanes... so."

"Oh, yeah. That's right." She said, "You got dropped from that class didn't you?"

My gaze remained on her and I hesitantly said, "Actually- I think someone actually dropped me out of it on purpose."

"Got any suspects?" She asked so carefree and I must've stared at her for about a minute as I contemplated on telling her it was her but I decided against it, "Nah. But I'll find out who."

Her gaze lingered on me like always and I stuffed my hands into my pockets while I avoided it. "I'm... finna go now," I said.

I then walked away from her and I could still feel her eyes behind me.

Help me God...

-

I explained everything to Mr. Hanes and he nods, "I understand your situation. But there's nothing I can do for you."

"Yeah probably but I heard you could accept more students into your class."

He looked like he was thinking and I pleaded, "I'd really like to take your class."

"God." He laughed with his cheery smile, "This is exactly why I said pretty students shouldn't come by," he joked.

"Oh my. Is that something a professor should say?" Walked in Professor Keiser and I cringed at her, "Hey-" "-Oh, hello." She responded and she took a seat on the couch behind me in Mr. Hanes office. "There's space in my class."

I knew this moment was coming and I simply stared at her as she laughed, "No? Why not? It's a required course."

I hesitated as I looked between her and Hanes and she edged on the offer, "What? You don't want to?-" "-No, not that." It's exactly that! "Then what is it?"

"Oh!" She said loudly, "It's because you're scared since it's the "witch's" class huh?" Yeah and that you're a cranky old bitch that's dick deprived so she loves ruining lives.

"Apparently a lot of students are calling me "The Witch Keiser" but it's because you kids don't know me at all. I'm a very nice and friendly woman." She crosses her legs with her gaze fixated on me.

Professor Hanes busted out laughing when she said this and she shot him a glare, "What's so funny?"

"I mean that-" he cleared his throat and sat up straight. "-I think it'll be too hard to get you into my class. So, you should enroll into Professor Keiser's class for now. Besides when you get to know her, she's pretty nice," he grinned.

I'm definitely being set up...

I inwardly groan as Ms. Keiser gets up and sets down a coffee on Hanes desk, "What's your name?"

"Jenae-Torres," I force out of my mouth.

"Jenae Torres? My. What a pretty name." She grins and Hanes gives her a look, "Treat her well."

"Of course I will. Why not?" She smirks and I inwardly groan. This is a tragedy...

-

The door to the store opened as I finished cleaning up a mess that I had made. I was beyond tired and my brain wasn't functioning properly.

"Welcome to Starbucks. What can I get you to-" I paused as I looked up and I saw Jae standing there. "-day?" I said slowly.

Jae gave me a smile and I inwardly groaned. How did she find out I work here?

I swallowed my nerves and forced a smile, "What can I get you today?"

She looked focused on the menu before looking me in the eyes. "One americano and one strawberry milkshake."

I bit my lip to keep my composure and punched in her order. "Will that be all?"

I asked her and she nods.

"That'll be $5.97," I forced my smile.

She went into her wallet and past a couple large bills until she found her card and handed it to me. Damn, she's stacked.

I quickly swiped her card and handed it back to her before I looked up, "Do you want your receipt?-" "-Nope," she declined and I left to fetch her order.

"Here you go," I said without making eye contact. I handed her order to her but she only took the americano. "That's yours," She said. I froze and she just smiled at me before she walked away. What the fuck?

I stared at the milkshake.

What the fuck does she mean by this?!
