"Screw this thermodyanics shit" Cassidy whispered to Sophia, "let's go get manicures. We're in the back row and this lecture hall is huge. The professor wont notice." Cassidy tugged at her tank top, incidentally making her cleavage less than subtle. One of the engineering frat guys sitting down the row from them fake-coughed and leaned over to stare.
Sophia instinctively started biting her nails nervously. This gave Cassidy more ammunition " you NEED a manicure, Soph!" She hissed.
"I'm not skipping the first lecture, Cass. And I actually find this topic interesting" Sophia hissed back.
"Is there a question ladies?" the professor had stopped teaching and was looking up the staged seating to Sophia. His dark eyebrows furrowed angrily and he folded his arms across his chest. Sophia noticed how his oversized button-up didn't hide is defined muscles.
"No, Dr. Aries." Sophia replied shaking her head. Then she blushed crimson red and pulled her bobbed hair into her face to hide.
Dr. Aries didnt go back to his podium. He stayed looking at Sophia and said, "then tell us - which law dictates the behavior on the slide I'm showing here?"
Sophia choked out "Entropy?"
"Correct." Dr. Aries answered Shaking his head in disgust as he moved on with his lecture.
Cassidy whispered "how the fuck did you...?"
Not wanting to get caught again, Sophia reached over to Cassidy's notebook and scrawled "when in doubt - guess entropy"
Sophia didn't explain to Cassidy that it wasn't thermodynamics she found interesting. It was the dark, angry, intimidating Doctor of Science on center stage.
