I'm Dating My Cold Professor

Chapter 11

One week has passed and it is quite hard for me to adjust to things. At least I’ve been cleared about all the things that must be cleared. Those five students who called me in the first day of school were my classmates in my last semester. I’ve already talked to them and apologize from the last time we met. They were also happy to tell me what part I have in their life. They’ve been telling me stories about how we hang out together. It must be really fun. I’ve also taken back all the records I have here in the school. So by now, it seems that I’ve accelerated from this to that. But I also have to review all the lessons I’ve taken last semester, for my brain may also forgotten it. Gray and I still haven’t talk. It bothers me but I have no choice.  I think he is mad at me and if I talk to him I would make him mad even more.

But then, I still have to attend to his class. I was nervous when that day had come. It feels like doomsday. When I entered the class, he was already there. Oh! Am I late?

I looked for a place to sit. There are still few students in the class. Were we late? Or he’s too early. I found a place to sit in the last row and on the corner. Right, he wouldn’t be able to watch me here.

But I was wrong. He was looking at the direction where I am. I wanted to look back if there was a student behind but there is none. Is he really looking at my direction? I bowed down my head so that he wouldn’t be able to notice me. And I was wrong again.

When I heard footsteps coming in where I sat, my heart races. Not again! I knew it was him coming towards me. I know he’s mad at me but he doesn’t have to do this here in front of his class. His reputation might be in danger.

“Miss Lockser!” I jumped in nervousness as his voice speaks. So intimidating!

“Have you done the homework I gave to you?” He asked. The what?

I looked at him this time. I’m lost for words. I mentally slapped myself. I forgot we have an assignment. I heard a groan in the class. It seems I’m not the only one.

“I have none, G- I mean, Sir,” I answered. It’s embarrassing.

I heard him sighed. And then he turned around the class and said, “Those of you who have homework please pass it in front.” Then he looked at me again. I looked away. “And those of you who haven’t, I will give you additional homework.”

The others in class protested. Gray raised his hands and silence followed. “If you will not pass them next week, I will give you triple works. If you will not pass that one again, then I’m sorry. You will not pass my class.” I know he is looking at me. And he’s almost speaking the words at me.

Oh God! Is this his revenge?

He started his class even if he’s five minutes early. He’s so punctual. I heard complaints from my classmates that he’s too strict and too cold. Yeah, he’s too strict and too cold this day. He even gave us a surprise quiz. It was really surprising because the exam filled with equations that were supposed to be discussed next week. How cruel he is!

Of course, none of us passed the exam.

“I told you it will not be easy in college. And it will not be easy in my subject.” He said. “You should have read in advance. This is not high school anymore. You should all know that!”

“He may be a gorgeous professor but he’s cold and all.” I heard a murmur beside me.

Yeah, and I think that’s my fault. Sorry.

“So who got the highest score?” He asked. Does it matter? None of us pass his exam, why would he bother asking who’s the highest?

He scanned the paper to see who got the highest score. It really does not make sense.
