Algebra and irish;) (student/teacher)

Chapter 3 (mr O'Grady)

Alex zoned out mostly in her first class mostly doodling on her notebook or making stupid faces at the girls freshening up their makeup for their next class. Her mind flipped back to her encounter with the sexy Irish man. What the hell was he doing going to college in Mississippi? That's a heck of a plane ride. So why here? Alex shrugged her shoulders and decided it wasn't worth dwelling on she'd probably never see him again. *CLAP* Alex jumped

"the fuck" she muttered as she looked to the front of the class watching people file out. Guessing the clap was what came after the short fat teacher saying class dismissed Alex gathered her things and made her way out the door. She glanced down at her class schedule to see her next class.

"college algebra...perfect"

She made her way up the two flights of stairs looking at all the 'inspirational posters' plastered all over the colleges cheaply painted walls. Finally getting to room 209 she noticed she was late.

"I knew I should've skipped" she mumbled as she turned the knob and walked in. Of course every head turned to stare at her as she made her way to a seat in the back.

"keep staring I might do a trick" she said to one guy following her with his eyes. He quickly turned and faced the front making Alex realize the teacher was late as well so there would be no lecture on her tardiness. Alex pulled her water bottle she usually saved for her workout out of her bag and took a long drink. About that time the door to the class room swung open revealing the sexy Irish man she'd encountered earlier that day. Which promptly caused Alex for some reason to inhale the water and go into a spastic coughing fit. It's water Alex! All you have to do is swallow it! What the hell is wrong with you! He was quickly in front of her awkwardly patting her back trying to help while everyone in the class stared. When Alex finally got her composure she irritably swatted his hands away which he found amusing and laughed at while he walked to the front of the room. Alex watched him with narrowed eyes until he settled in the chair at the front of the room while propping his feet on the desk in front of him and tucking his hands behind his head looking the picture of relaxation. Alex quirked an eyebrow in his direction which he winked back to.

"ugh" she grumbled and rolled her eyes. Instead she kept her eyes on the door as she waited for the teacher to barge in and yell at him for being in their chair.

"alright class, welcome to college algebra" said the deep Irish voice as he clapped his hands together.

"I'm Luke O'Grady and I will be your instructor for this semester"
