"I'm Mr. Dahlburg, but just call me Adam." As he said that, his eyes darted back and forth, as if trying to find someone. Then, his gaze landed on me.

Oh, he's trying to find me.

He smiled in my way, and I smiled back, but resumed without poker face after that. The class didn't notice, which is fine by me. I don't need more attention right now.

"So, Mr. Dahlburg, the class is no-JASON SHUT UP!" Mr. Shut Up yelled at poor Jason. He coughed, and turned back to Adam. "Chapter 5."

We flipped to that page, and I looked at Adam. He winked at me. I raised my eyebrows. He gave me a look that said 'will tell you later'.

Then, he started rambling on about biology stuff, and as usual, I fell asleep...

"Class, you are dismissed. Mitch, stay back," Adam gestured.

I sat at my seat, occasionally returning the gazes of students as they stared at me, probably thinking why I was held back. Nosy.

After all of them were gone, Adam came to me. I spoke before he could.

"Why are you here?"

Adam stared at me for a full five seconds, and laughed.

"You really don't know?"

I shook my head.

"I'm trying to get s class that Jerome's in, so I can get his information," he grinned. My eyes widened.

"But... your job..."

"I'm fine. I love teaching, so I thought why not?" He smiled.

"Thank you," I was touched.

"No problem. Now go home before you starve to death."

Short chapter. I agree.
