It was hard to sit and pay attention to class sometimes, not simply because learning about history literature was boring at times , but because her professor was quite possibly the most gorgeous man on the planet. She couldn't help but admit her little crush on him but who could blame her ?
Mr Carson wasn't like any other teachers , he was buff , he was younger and his voice, oh his voice should have been whispering sweet nothing into her ears.instead of boring her with useless information.Those eyes, the most beautiful shade of blue , those thick framed glass that he manage to pull off , giving him the smart and sophisticated look.
He stood up there writing on the whiteboard, babbling on about she don't know what , she was too busy admiring his frame.
Her friend caught her daydreaming and laughed.
"What ?"she whispered to her. Her friend smirked and tore a piece of paper out of her notebook and started writing. She slid it over to keylie and keylie leaned in to read.
" Are you too busy to fawning your professor ?" keylie chuckled and wrote back.
"Can you blame me ? He's so freaking handsome ! The things I would do to this man." keylie passed it over to her friend and she laughed a little before writing back.
" I don't think I want to know."
keylie wrote back , this time it took her longer . Thinking it was bold to go into further details.
" Last time , I didn't hear a single word of his lecture. That day he gave us assignment. i was so distracted ogling on him , i didn't hear him say that , later that day he asked me what's distracted me in his classes , I can't possibly tell him the truth. I was so dead."
This time Becky barked out a Lough , unable to hold it back. Mr Carson turned from the board and looked directly at them.
"Ladies..." he addressed them , telling them to settle down. Keylie face got flushed. once they were quiet , he turned back to his teaching and keylie turned back to the note.
" you are going to get us in trouble ." keylie wrote to Becky.
Class ended shortly after and keylie showned the notes into her notebook and planning on destroying it later, for to get rid of any evidence. Becky walked out with keylie.
" Are you going to party tonight ?" Becky asked . Keylie shrugged.
" We have a test next day , I think I should study ".
" You're such a good little student , you know that ? When was the last time you went out ? " Becky asked her.it had been a while , honestly longer than she could recall.
" I don't remember." , said keylie.
" that's sad ! let's go out have fun ! c'mon you bailed on me the last few times." Becky protested.
" okay okay , you know , college isn't all about parties.." keylie remind her.
" No , but it's also not bout fantasizing about your professor, now it is ?" Becky poked fun at keylie.
keylie studied some the night before for Mr Carson's test but when it comes time for the party . Keylie was ready to have fun.
She searched for crop that goes along with matching skirt , heels and went out with Becky. She actually feeling pretty good about herself for once , she looked good.her hair , make up was perfect.
The said party was going as wild as it possibly can with everyone bundled up pressure throughout the starting year turned into an enjoyment, which Becky was having on full force.
On their way back , Becky , who was drunker than keylie was , insisted on stopping at the night pizza. Their designated driver kindly stopped and they wobbled with their high heels into the shop and up to the counter .
" Once cheese pizza please." Kylie ordered as Becky would probably stuttering her words and most likely get them in trouble. Keylie was shuffling through her purse to pull out some cash when becky roughly grabbed her shoulder and pointed.
" look ! it's Mr Carson." She almost yelled it.keylie turned to see , there's nobody else but him. The finest man , dressed casually and approaching the counter where they were, while holding a six pack of beer.
Keylie panicked and grabbed onto Becky who was falling over and tried to shuffle out of side but it was too late.
" keylie ? Keylie Mathews?" said Mr Carson.
"keylie ? Keylie Mathews ? " Mr Carson sounded surprise. Keylie looked him up and down , can't stop her fuzzy mind from doing so.he was in simple pair of jeans but he had a damn leather jacket and black ball cap.it was unfair a man could make a simple outfit look that good. She realised she was staring , quickly looked down , still panicked.
"Hi,... Mr Carson."and she realised her top was too revealing to be talking to her teacher. She quickly lifted her purse, purposefully covering her exposed skin.
"Out having fun , I see." He spoke as he placed his beers on the counter. She could feel his eyes burning into her with disapproval.
"You should be studying." He whipped out some cash to pay for his beers.
" I know and I am....I mean ....i did...I just ..." she was stammering horribly.but panicking and being a tipsy usually didn't lead to anything good.
"We wanted pizza." Becky spoke up finally , Laughing hysterically behind her , then she leaned in to whisper keylie.
" he's wearing that ball cap and jacket." Knowing very well keylie have imagine her own some fantasies about the curse cap and jacket.
"Shhhh!!".keylie quickly shushed Becky , her face turning bright red.becky broke out laughing again , holding herself up with the counter.
keylie couldn't bring herself to look him in the eyes , the embankment was too much.
"Make sure you ladies get home safely and study." He picked up his purchase and walked out , just like that.
Becky continue to giggle at the unfortunate turn of events. They paid for the pizza and hurried back to the dorm, where keylie sank into her bed and tried to sleep of the humiliation she was feeling.
As expected, keylie didn't get any sleep , after the yesterday's encounter. Waking up to a test with a headache and embarrassment is something she did not want to go through. Unfortunately, she already disappointed Mr Carson enough that there's no way she's bailing on his test.
Putting on some simple jeans , a white sweatshirt and a pair of canvas, she was ready to go. But her roommate seems to have other plans.
keylie walked up to her roommate, Amy's bed, wake her up. At first attempt she just a soft groan followed by snores.keylie tried again, and finally manage to wake her a little to talk.
"What..?" Amy doesn't sound quite happy to being waked up and was already preparing to go back to sleep. keylie grabbed her blanket , stopping amy to pull it over her face.
"I am awake , i am awake. What is it ?" Amy said getting annoyed by keylie. Sitting up and giving death stare.
" don't you have a test today, you'll be late if you don't wake up now." keylie remind her.
Amy is not in the same class as her.when keylie first came to school after moving , amy was assigned to show her around. And eventually end up being roommates when keylie learned amy was looking for a roommate.
" I don't have a test today , i texted you yesterday about it." Amy laid back again , not even asking why keylie didn't read her text.
" You could've just told me in person though,.." said keylie, moving around the dorm room to get things for test and some notes to memorize on the way.
" I thought when you will get back , I might fell asleep, so that's why I texted you." Amy grumbled , turning her back over to keylie and finally cover her face with the blanket , indicating she's done with the talk.
Keylie rolls her eyes , taking a protein bar and got out of the room.
It's a 20 minutes walk from her dorm to her class , which she made it in 10 minutes.
Thankfully they were just some students readying for the test and no Mr Carson to be seen.
Keylie quickly got to her seat , next to her Becky looked like she might throw up , she wouldn't be surprise if she already did.
" Good morning, Beck." keylie greet her by elbowing her softly.
Becky muttered back what's sounds like a morning. Not a good morning for her it seems, Keylie amused.
Just as she was about to ask becky if she studied anything after waking up , Mr Carson came in classroom with an authority like he own the class. Another reason to fail the test by getting distracted by his glorious beauty.
" Good morning class, as I already mentioned this test's grade going to be decide your assignment marks so i suggest you to write it good." He gave test papers to each section first desk student to pass it.
" You got one and half hour for this test test , and cheating will cut minus 1 marks for every wrong answer." He threatened sweetly. He got to his desk , taking a book out of his bag and started reading.
Mr Carson even manage to look intresting, while doing the most boring work. She could just look at him and spend hours doing it.
A thud sound distracted her thoughts , she turned around to see Becky just slam head on the desk. Keylie looked in her test paper to see the questions.
It's not going to go well, Keylie sighs.
Keylie felt like crying , she isn't sure about the half of questions she did. Becky looked like she gave up long ago and taking a peaceful nap she didn't manage to get last night.
After giving her test paper and waking Becky up , keylie was ready to go. She was planning to get a strong coffee and some take out breakfast.
Keylie and Becky both packed up , and turned to leave. Keylie look up at Mr Carson and wished she didn't, Mr Carson looked at them with the most disappointed stare like he could already tell they won't getting good marks.
Keylie ducked her head and almost runs out of the class.
Keylie sitting on her bed, staring at the other
empty bed which was her roommate'. Amy is apparently went to her boyfriend dorm room to studies, which she's sure will not be the only thing they are doing,anyways...
Keylie got her own things to worry. Just now hanging up a call from her parents. Her Big sister manage to get in her dream college and her parents thought that keylie going to be the black sheep in her home and need to stop before it happens.
Don't get her wrong, keylie really love her sister, but her parents like to think they have a competition among sisters.
She was scared when her parents asked her about her test today, she somehow manage to stuttered that it was good, her parents probably get the idea that it was nowhere near good, that comes with a lecture too of course.
Keylie just wants this day to be over, knowing tomorrow will be result, she assumed tomorrow will not be the best either.
Let's see what tomorrow stores for keylie.......
****************
Keylie woke up, got ready for class knowing very well today's gonna be shit like result.
Keylie went to her class which was already filled up with classmates, Mr Carson was unusually early today. his hands carrying the test papers with grading already done.
"May I come in sir?" Keylie hates this situation when she will have all the attention of class on her, even forgetting how to walk with all the eyes.
" Good to have you here, Miss Mathews. Please take a sit." Mr Carson looked like he can't decide on which to be disappointed about, that keylie is late or her test paper. Keylie just begged to be killed.
Keylie went to her seat, Becky already there waiting. She turned to look at keylie with some pity in her eyes that she just waves off
saying she's fine.
Mr Carson already arranged the paper with respect to their seating and handing over to students.
it's keylie turn when Mr Carson drop her test paper with a big red D on the corner.
" Meet me after class miss Mathews." keylie just nodded her head as to say yes and Mr Carson moves on.
keylie turned towards Becky to see her paper and noticed she also got a D.
what's the reason that Mr Carson only wanted to talk to keylie but not Becky or any other students who got less marks. Keylie thinks, probably confused.
Becky decided it's about something that should be illegal to even think about considering they are student and teacher. But what does ever stopped Becky to let her wild imagination runs wild.
Becky turn to look at keylie, give her a wink with a smirk on her lips. Mouthing ' punishment ' that doesn't indicate any innocent thoughts. keylie don't think so though. That can't be the reason Mr Carson would invite her to talk.
Well, she will know when it's time. She put her test paper in her bag. And looked towards Mr Carson who starts the new topic to teach. Keylie decided to actually pay attention this time.
...****************...
After the class, keylie wait for everyone to get out of the class , Becky leaved not before whispering she wants all details with a wink.
Keylie walked up to the Mr Carson desk on the left side of the board, where he's packing his things to leave as well.
"Sir you wanted to talk." She said absent minded. Mr Carson was wearing a blue Chinese collar baby blue colour shirt with navy pants, totally different from that outfit in the pizza shop.
"Yes, please follow me." Mr Carson voice made her shake out of her thoughts and it took a minute to understand the meaning while Mr Carson was already walking away.
She hurriedly goes after him , still a step behind. They walked for 5 minutes and finally reach to his office. There are others teachers too, some greeted with a smile and nod in the direction of Mr Carson.
He opened the door to his office for keylie, she ducked her head low hoping to hide her blushing face well. Mr Carson enter right after her and close the door behind him.
Keylie knew nothing gonna happened but her heart just can't understand that, who allows it to beat so fast.
Mr Carson mentioned for her sit and took a seat himself. Keylie sat down and observe Mr Carson going through some paper and with a 'aha' he seems like he found it. And hand it over to keylie. Keylie looked to see it's her English test paper where she got A plus.
" I saw you going out to have fun while you have a test the other morning. I am not going to lie but I always thought you are a potential student of mine and seeing you lazing off disappointed me."
keylie always believed she was invisible to him until the curse night they met on pizza shop. Knowing that he knew her and actually thought she's good make her palm sweat with gleeful excitement that she almost forget the disappointing part.
" I saw that you can do alot better if you want to, just like you did so well in your English assignment. I also observed you seem quite distracted in my class. Is there anything I can help you with?"
yes please. Let me kiss you, let me do all those things Becky was probably imagining us doing. Sadly she can't say that so she just said.
" I am sorry sir, i promise to do well in other test and pay extra attention." she tried her hardest to sound guilty, it wasn't hard to so, since she already feeling guilty.
" Let's talk about just this test , I know you will do well in other test but as I said this test decides your assignment marks. I am giving you a chance, if you take it, I will make it from D to B grade." is this really happening?? Is it som cliché part of the novel where the teacher ask ' what will you do for an A ?'
"Yes sir, and what that would be?" she tried not to crack in her speech and failed miserably to do so. Mr Carson doesn't look like he noticed.
" I saw your English test paper, you write really well. there's a community that helps the new writers. I want you to write something so I could recommend them your writing." He looked like he has been thinking about it for a while. And stop looking with those beautiful blue eyes, thought keylie.
" Sir i don't think I understand what you mean? writing as a writer one would do ?" keylie was confused. She don't particularly have a writing skill and there's no way Mr Carson thought she can just by looking at her English test papers.
"yeah keylie, writing as a writer." Mr Carson chuckled, and if it is not the most beautiful thing keylie have ever heard. he's gonna get arrested for killing all the ladies with that fine smile of his.
Mr Carson cleared his throat, and went to looking serious again. Keylie quickly turn to look at the other side.
" yes keylie, I am sure you'll do well. I don't expect you to do excellent as it is your first time writing. But try to write how you feel about something, or what are your perspective for a particular thing, anything would be fine. and it will also help you to improve your grades." Mr Carson says. Looking at keylie like she can achieve anything if she wants, she highly doubt it.
" i will think about it Mr Carson, thank you for considering me again." With a nod from Mr Carson, she gets up to leave.
"Ah wait miss Mathews.." keylie was about to open the door but got stopped. She turned to see Mr Carson was carrying her diary.
Keylie got paled, no no no. Isn't it the diary where they hid their notes about Mr Carson and her crush on him.
" You forget this diary in my class. Here." she looked up to see Mr Carson looking at her like nothing happened.
Could he be that he didn't saw the notes. With a thanks she took the diary from his hand and bolted out.
As soon as she was out and at safe distance, she scanned her diary for any notes. None to be found.
Yes, it must be lost before Mr Carson found her diary. there is no way he will even look at her if he read those notes.
With a little hope she managed to give herself, she went to find Becky.
