My Professor

a bad start

Only if I hadn't dated that jock last year, I might've passed all my classes. Well, let's be honest. I didn't fail because of my stupid boyfriend. I failed because of that Eco professor who looked as old as my great-grandfather. I could never focus during his lectures. Once he called my mum because I had been sleeping in class for two weeks straight. Who wouldn't?  How had he not retired yet? It wouldn't be surprising if one day he didn't show up to class because, well, he passed away.

Nonetheless I took up Eco in my final year too.

8:10

Oh fuck! I'm already running late on my first day!

I rolled out of my bed and jumped into the shower. I don't even know how I was done showering, brushing and getting ready within 8 minutes. Well done Sunmi-ya! I noticed my parents had already left. I downed the remaining orange juice from the fridge, then rushed out of my house wiping my dripping mouth.

Good thing, I lived just five minutes from college. I reached the lobby panting and huffing, struggling to catch my breath. I glance at my watch, 8:25. YES! I made it five minutes before time. I leaned against a wall nearby and took a couple deep breaths. I had to climb two floors now. You can do it baby! I turned to head towards the staircase when another person walked right into me.

I had turned with so much vigour that I fell on my butt when we bumped.

"You fucking idiot, you blind!?" I groaned as I rubbed my ass and got up.

I was looking at a really handsome man as I got on my feet. I had never seen him before. He looked so angelic. Dark brown hair, prominent jawline, pretty lips.

"Hello?" he waved his long fingers before my eyes. I snapped out of trans. I hadn't noticed that I was staring at him.

"Did you just swear at me?" he said. WOW. For real though, you owe me an apology for knocking me down and here you are asking if I swore at you?

"Did I?" I asked nonchalantly.

"You're not allowed to, within the campus." he said as a matter of factly. It was kinda disheartening to see such a beautiful man be a little prude.

"Do you even know who I am?" I decided to play with him a little.

"I don't care who you are," he said and shifted to the right to leave. I interrupted him.

"Oh you will," I smirked at him. "Do you know our Economics teacher?"

He nodded.

"I'm his dau- granddaughter" I lied. Tbh I was too young to even be that old hag's granddaughter. He was the head of faculty. Basically, he had the power to dismiss a student. I was expecting some kind of fear to sweep across the boy's face but nothing like that happened. He just stood there staring at me. Had he caught on my lie?

"You think I'm lying? Fine, I'm going to his class right now and I'll tell him about you!" I threatened and rushed to my class. I had just wasted ten minutes on this man and now I was running five minutes late to class.

I could already hear him nagging me "Oh look Ms Lee has decided to shower us with her presence today" Not like I had an option, OLD MAN.

As I neared my classroom, I could hear a lot of noise coming from within. Oh! The old hag hadn't arrived yet. THANK GOODNESS. I lazily walked to my bench at the end of the row nearest to the window. My friends sat surrounding my table. We chattered about our vacations and other things.

Suddenly, the class fell silent as the door slid open and someone entered. The old hag hath arrived, I thought. As my friends returned to their seats, my view cleared and I saw......
