And If I Say Yes? A Student/Teacher Relationship

11

Chapter 11

As I soaked myself in the bath that night I thought to myself. I definitely rocked that lecture. I asked good questions, the students were engaged, and I even got to assign a paper for them to do. Even though this was a test, I'm glad it happened because I am sure I passed it. Nicholas Donovan I will last more than a month.

Monday

It's been 4 days since I last seen the class. Nicholas' class is every Monday and Wednesday. I looked around the lecture hall to see if Nicholas was going to appear like he did before but I couldn't find him. I collected the papers from the students on their way out to ensure that every student did it, and they did.

Afterwards I walked back to the office, said hello to Linda Nicholas' secretary and read over the papers for the rest of my working shift. I made some notes, fixed some grammatical errors, then graded the paper. I left a stack on Nicholas' desk then left a small sticky note.

Hi, I asked the students to write a response to my question on your book, its already graded. Please reach out to me if you have any questions as I won't be in for work until Wednesday.
-Sky

Once I left the note on top of the stack of papers, I noticed another note on his desk. The note was from the model look a like.

Hey Prof,
For my Thursday 1pm and 3pm class I discussed Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde, all went well.
-Ms. Acker

I thought back, should I have changed my signing off name to Ms. McLarin instead of Sky?
Before I could contemplate any further, Linda opened the door.
"Hi sweetie, it's getting late and I need to lock up before I leave."
"Oh of course, sorry let me just grab my bag."

Well that answers my question

The Next Day

It was my day off so by 7pm I decided to let loose with my roommates. This was especially necessary after the day I had. The model look alike texted me earlier this afternoon how Nicholas gave her a call on how great she did on Thursday's lecture. She went on and on about how much he praised her, but meanwhile I have not received a call or text from him all day about my performance.

My roommates and I were all in my room with drinks in our hand. I was on my second glass of Merlot, Tori just finished her fourth shot of Hennessy, while Ming was still on her first can of beer. If it wasn't already obvious, we were feeling lit.

"You know, I love you girls. We may enjoy different ways of getting loose but we come together and always have a good time." Tori said.
I nodded my head in agreement. "Yes exactly, I love getting loose." I said a bit buzzed. On the drunk scale From 1-10 I was definitely a 4 going on 5.
"Are you sure you are getting loose. All day it seemed like you had something on you're mind." Ming said.

I frowned at her response she was right.

"Yeah, you have been glued to you're phone all day, are you expecting a call, maybe from a guy?" Tori asked while raising her eyebrows in suspicion. Tori was definitely the most drunk.

"No, I have no man in my life, not since college." I laughed back.

"Then what is on you're mind" Ming asked now opening her second can of beer.

"Nicholas Donovan is the problem." I said after taking a sip of the bitter Merlot.

"What he do now, you got fired yet?" Tori asked with a chuckle.
