I'm Dating My Cold Professor

Chapter 16

By Monday, I have to go back to school. Of course, the semester is just starting anyway. I have prepared myself to go to school. I packed my notebooks and already have prepared my homework for…Gray’s subject. I’m still in euphoria this day.

My face heat up as I remembered. Oh gosh!

“Hey, Juvia!” Levy called.

“Yes?” I said.

“Your face is red,” she said, and then she smirked like she knew why my face is like this. Ugh! Am I too easy to read?

I shook my head nervously and put my hands in my face, wondering of my hands would bring down the redness of my face. Levy laughed at me. I rolled my eyes.

“I-It’s hot, Levy. The temperature is hot. It’s not what you think about.” I defended.

She surrendered her hands in the air. “I’m not saying anything.”

I rolled my eyes on her. “Yes, you are not but I know what you’re thinking about.”

She didn’t answer but she giggled. Ugh! That’s a bit embarrassing. She looked straight at the board, pretending to listen to our professor in Biology.

“You will see him again today, right?” She asked when our class was dismissed.

I nodded. “Yeah, he’s my Math professor today.”

I sighed. This will be harder than I thought. Because I felt that what we had last weekend was a dream. A fantasy. And now, I have to face the reality, the reality of us that is not…acceptable in everyone’s eye. Gray has been worried about this though. He said sorry. But there’s nothing to apologize for.

But I don’t know. My heart sank as I’ve thought of us something as forbidden. It makes me sad. I should not be dating my professor but here I am and I’ve fallen for him…even before when I didn’t lose my memories yet. I wonder if I felt this bad back then. I wonder how I endured to hide this love affair.

“Don’t worry, Juvia. It will be okay.” Levy said in her soft voice. I smiled at her. “You two both know how to keep secret, you know.”

I looked at her in confusion. “What do you mean?”

“Hm…before you lost your memory.” She thought and put her hand on her hair. “How will I say this? Hmm…”

I waited for her to speak. She’s telling something about what I don’t remember. It is important.

“What, Levy?” I asked impatiently.

“It’s hard to tell who you are dating back then, Juvia. You were so secretive. And then, one day…” Levy blushed. I nervously waited for her. Why did she blush? “when we have a party in the guild, at Mira’s bar, Mira, Erza and I caught the both of you.”

My eyes grew wider. I didn’t speak. They saw us…

“kissing.” She almost whispered. Then she laughed so hard still having red cheeks.

“WHAT? YOU SAW US WHAT?”

She can’t answer my question because she was in pain in laughing so hard. I rolled my eyes on her. And it feels so embarrassing. I closed my eyes tight.

“That’s when we knew that you are both seeing each other.” Levy said after she recovered from her laugh. “Gray was very drunk at that time; he couldn’t hide you in safer place. And Gajeel, we got an epic reaction from him when they knew about you two.”

I smiled at that thought. I wish I could remember it. I wish I could.

“At first we both got mad at Gray, because you know, he is a professor and you’re a student. It was like incest, to think of. It is prohibited in the school rules. Erza scolded him. Gajeel punched him. It was chaos at the guild.” My eyes grew bigger again. What? I brought chaos to them? “Gray said it was fault. His fault of liking you so much, he could break those rules.”
