A+ in Love

Chapter 10

<unedited>
Grandma's words floated around in my head. I tossed and turned all night at the thought that I could have formed I small crush on a professor in such a short time. I knew it was true but I still had a small doubt. Why did I have to form crushes super fast?

It always messed me over one way or the other. Dating a egotistical pin head in high school, a guy who kept us as such a secret we never went on dates and then worst of all a three cheating boyfriends.

I pulled into a parking spot and reach into the back seat and grabbed my umbrella. I would do this, I would really face my feelings. If I confronted myself and knew I had a crush I could stomp it out before it got bad enough. I'd done it before with other boys

I could do this I could march into that school and look at Cemal, I mean Professor Asena, and prove to myself I didn't have a crush on my best friends professor. I unbuckled and slide out of my car with my umbrella held tightly against the wind.

I made my way across the parking lot looking around. My heart was beating fast it felt like it would bust a rib at this point. One look and I'd know I told myself again, there is no way I could have a crush on Professor Asena. He was in his 30s I was in my 20s our age alone made it difficult, I bit my lip and picked up pace almost running at this point.

I panic as soon as I spotted him, even from the back I could tell it was him from the long brown hair and tan skin. he had no umbrella and was running at this point the man was completely soaked. Man I was so screwed I thought I couldn't stop looking at his butt. Damn I hadn't noticed how nice it was before, No I shouldn't be thinking like that! I shook my head and hurried to catch up I would find out now.

He wasn't a fast runner so it didn't take me long to get to him, I reached out and grabbed his elbow pulling him back so he'd be under my umbrella.

He cursed in his native language making my heart beat faster. He looked over mad but once he seen it was me he smiled.

" Oh jeez, I'm glad it was you I'm sorry for that." He blushed " I didn't mean to curse."

" It's okay, " I let his elbow go and we started to walk side by side, I gulped when I looked at him. He looked so good right now, his shirt was clinging to his skin and man he wasn't looking much like a professor to me " why don't you have an umbrella?"

God why was this man not using an umbrella? He shrugged so I let it go, once we were under the roof in front of the door I shut my umbrella and shook it out.

" Thanks Il Sung, " he gave my elbow a quick squeeze " I'd stick around to talk but I have to change before class thankfully I brought a spare pair of clothing with me. "

I watched him jog away, man I so have a crush on my best friends professor I thought. But man does he have a nice butt I thought bitterly stumping into the building. Today was going to be a long ass day, I doubt I could even look Minsu in the eyes.

What was I going to do Saturday? When I had to hang out with my crush all day long? I was so screwed, so fucking screwed. I had to stomp out this crush before it got bad.

I made it all the way to my department on autopilot. Walking so stiffly a few of my friends stopped me to ask if I was okay. My worried face was enough to make them back away, they knew I liked to deal with my problems by myself.

I walked looking at my beaten converse shoes most of the time. Watching how the one lace bounced up and down and the other slowly came undone.

" Maybe I should just skip out on Cemal Saturday," I mumbled to myself, I went to bent down to tie my laces.

" Skip out on what?" I stalled right there and Hyun took the opportunity to bend and start tieing my shoes.

His voice had once made me melt. Now seeing him bent down on front of me made me want to knee him right in the face. But court wouldnt look good on a resume. The cheating wasn't what made me upset. It was the fact that he couldn't just let me walk away. If I wasn't good enough for him before why did he make a big deal once we broke up? Why cheat and try to get back together?
