HER (GirlxGirl) [Completed]

Chapter twelve: No harm no foul

Going to classes this morning was a little different than the last time. Not sure why but I could feel something different about today. It was good different and I knew that today was going to be a great day.

Holding onto my coffee, I walked through the halls until I came into the student lounge. There were a few students in here sitting at the tables or on the couch with their books or laptops.

I sat down at a table and pulled my book out before grabbing my notebook from my backpack and a pen. I flipped to the chapter that I had marked then started reading through before highlighting a few sections and reading some more.

Having my mind focused on one thing helps me stay concentrated a lot longer and it helps me get everything that I need to get done. I try to make my only focus on what needs to be done before focusing on anything else.

I'm not multitasked.

One skill I did not pick up. It seems impossible for me to focus on more than one thing at a time. Instead of just focusing on one thing, I have other things running through my mind and I can't stay focus.

As I was reading through a paragraph, I heard a chair move across the floor then someone sat down in front of me. When I looked up, I locked eyes with the woman who had my whole mind in a fog since I started thinking about her more than I should.

She smiles. "Good morning, Micah. Hope I'm not disturbing you."

Shaking my head, I slightly smile. "No ma'am."

"Good." She smiles before taking a folder out of her bag that was laying on the table. I watch her for a moment until I realized that I was staring too long then quickly got back to looking at my book.

My mind couldn't concentrate anymore as Miss Bailey was sitting across from me. I was focused on nothing but the book in front of me, now I couldn't even read one word without glancing up at her every few seconds.

Closing my book, I decided to just wait until I was home or away from her. I hate that I couldn't focus on anything when she was around. It was as if she was a force field that didn't allow me to do anything instead of become distracted by her.

I leaned back into my chair and stretched my arms out behind me. Even though I really don't do much of anything, my exhaustion is just too much sometimes and it's bothering me big time.

Leaning back towards the table, I caught Miss Bailey watching me then quickly averted her eyes away as soon as my eyes met hers. I watched her for a moment before placing my book and everything else back in my bag.

I was done. Physically and emotionally.

Looking up, I looked towards Miss Bailey as she was writing something on the paper in front of her. I remembered something that she told us in her class about a quiz that was coming up, so I decided to ask her about it.

"That quiz you mentioned a few days ago." I watch as she looks up at me. "How many questions are on it?" I'm not sure what I'm doing by this point. I'm just trying to make small talk for some unknown reason.

"I think it's about ten questions. I haven't decided if I wanted to make it more."

I watched her for a moment. "Please don't. Half the class probably didn't even study."

She smiles. "Well then maybe they will after this quiz."

Shaking my head, I watch her. "Don't be one of those instructors."

Placing her elbows on the table, she leans her chin in her palms. "What do you mean?"

"You know..." Shit. My thoughts left my mind now. Having Miss Bailey watching me like that made every thought in my head vanish. "I don't know."
