"I have this clock theory", One Shot, College Au, Professor!Hale and Student!Stiles

Stiles POV

I was early to my first class in my freshman year of college. I had read my time table wrong which is what resulted in me being 20 minutes early to a 7:30am class. Tapping my fingers against the desk in front of me I stare without blinking at the clock trying to watch it change. My eyes begin to dry so I let myself blink quick before groaning "Aw shit."  I complain seeing the clock had changed the minute arm in the fraction of the second I had my eyes closed.

Focusing even more intently this time I narrow my eyes even more determined to watch it. I was focused I didn't realize the door to the lecture room was opened. As I was leaning forward to watch the clock more intensely I didn't even hear the chair next to me scrape or someone plop into it. Keeping my eyes wide I stare intently before an eyelash gets in my eye. "Fuck!" I yell as I rub my eyes hurriedly before opening them to reveal the time had change whilst my eyes were closed once again.

  Sighing heavily I kick back blowing raspberries before refocusing intently. I begin counting the seconds in my head and right as I neared 60 a voice distracted me. "What the actual hell are you doing?" A deep voice commented. Turning I spastically throw my arms out "Jesus Christ! Do you normally go around scaring poor innocent college kids?!" I practically yell and a man with gorgeous green eyes smiles wide then begins to laugh.

  "No but seriously what were you doing?" He asks his smile still ever so present. Sighing I confess, "I have this theory about clocks." His eyebrows raise and I just look at him waiting for a response. "Okay, and the theory is?" He probes. "Well, time is legitimately a jackass right? It never moves directly while you watch it right? In fact it might even slow down just because its like super petty and doesn't want you to watch it change right? And when it finally does change it happens in the very second you look away! Coincidence? I think not."

When I finish the stranger just looks at me and laughs for a solid three minutes. How can I tell you ask? By the damn clock. "You're a damn good way to settle first day nerves, I'll give you that." My eyebrows raise "You're a freshman too? I mean you're a bit on the older side but I can see it, I mean your still young. You don't look old, that wasn't what I was saying at all, you actually look great, really great, like... Really.... Freaking.... Great." I say trailing the end of my sentence off awkwardly as he smiles and begins to laugh. "You're funny what's your name?" He asks eyes lit up playfully. "Stinlinski," I say offering my hand for him to shake which he does. "Stiles Stinlinski." I finish with a grin.

  "Stiles Stilinski huh? I like it, it flows." My smile widens and I ask "And you are?" His smile widens as large as I think it can get, "Well, my name is Derek, but with the circumstance I am almost positive you're to refer to me as Professor Hale."
