Chapter 3- The Professor

Chapter 3

My eyes open slowly and groggy as I turn over to my side so I can shut off my alarm on my phone. I press snooze just so I can lay in bed a little longer seeing how I got no sleep, due to moving all of my furniture into the apartment.

Mostly everything is where it's supposed to be except for my clothes, I still haven't hung them up because it was around two in the morning and I was already tired enough. So I'll probably just do that today after my classes. I stare at the picture frame of my mom and i when i was little, I shake my head and put it into my drawer so that I don't have to think about what happened.

I came here to forget, not to remember.

I have more of the hard classes today which is English (communication and speech). I'm surprised I actually got in because that class is only for college sophomores and college juniors, but seeing how I do pretty good in school, it doesn't surprise me at all. It's just cause I'll be the only college freshman in there.

Then I also have Human Physiology which I'll enjoy since we're identifying body parts, but I'll have to take that class very seriously if I want to become a surgeon. I get a handle of things very quickly, so hopefully that class will be easy.

Finally, my snooze button goes of which indicates to get out of bed. I groan as i get up, picking up the covers and putting them to the side.

I make my comforter neat and then put my decorative pillows on my bed so that my bed is made for when I come home.

I walk into my bathroom while putting my hair up, I turn on the shower and get undressed. I hop in, meeting the nice warm water, making me relax and quite calm seeing how I'm pretty nervous for my first day. Once I'm done washing my body, I turn the shower off and hope out.

I wrap my towel around my body and start to brush my teeth in front of the sink mirror. I spit out my toothpaste and gurgle water inside my mouth.

Now onto outfits, which is going to be a hard decision. It's the first day, so I should wear something cute.

I put on my gray leggings along with a white, silly spaghetti strap shirt. I put on socks and put my feet into my white hightop sneakers with laces.

I take my hair out of my bun and straighten it so that it's neatly straightened, even though it's already straight. I just hate some of the frizzy wavy parts of my hair that I develop from sleeping with it wet.

I apply some mascara to my long eyelashes, making my blue eyes pop. After I'm finished, i walk into the kitchen and make some coffee, pouring it into my white coffee cup.

After a few minutes I decide to leave to go to my college now, I dump the coffee in the sink and put it in the dishwasher. I then grab my black bag that has notebooks, pencil and pens, paper, and my books on English and human body parts. I also put my phone inside my black bag as well.

I walk out of my apartment, locking it on the way out, and put the elevator button to open. It immediately opens up and I walk inside, pushing the first floor which is the lobby.

I lean my back on the back of the elevator and patiently wait for it to take me down all the way. It suddenly stops to let someone in on the sixth floor.

The elevator opens and my eyes immediately lay on Bryant, my stomach feels all different kinds of feelings.

I step aside so he can come in, I try to hide my smile from embarrassment because of last night and from myself blushing because whenever he's around me I smile.

He walks inside, i look up and i see him smiling. "Clarence." He nods, butterflies tingle inside my body as he says my name.

"Bryant." I say back, doing the same as he did to me.

He's wearing a white buttoned up shirt with sleeves that end to his elbows, also tugging on his muscular arms along with black jeans and professional black shoes.

I can feel the radiation off of his body on me seeing how close we are to each other. I suddenly bite my live as to how nervous I am.

He clears his throat because of how awkward it is, but then starts to talk thankfully. "You really surprised me last night." He says smirking at me while I look at him.

If my face isn't red already, it probably looks like a fucking cherry now. I start laughing at what he said because that was something I would probably never do. "Actually, I surprised myself."

He chuckles as the elevator doors opens, Bryant holds his arm out, letting me out first. I smile and nod at him, walking out of the building and on my way to the college.

"No goodbye, huh?" I hear his voice a few feet from behind, I smile while I look at the ground.

I turn around, waving my hand and smiling. "Goodbye Bryant." I say along with him smiling.

I already have been to the college before, i flew up here a few months ago so I could tour it to actually see if I wanted to go. As a few minutes pass I finally stand in front of St. John's University.

I breathe slowly as I walk down the path and enter inside the doors, seeing many, many people inside.

Of course I try to breathe slowly, but when I'm around crowds I usually tense up seeing how I have anxiety about particular things because of my father.

As I walk down the halls, I hear squeals of happiness coming up from behind me. I quickly turn around and im engulfed in a huge hug, tumbling down to the ground.

"Clarence!" A familiar voice squeals of excitement, I immediately know that it's one of my close friends, Grace Anderson.

I smile forms on my face as I hug her back. "How long have you been here?" I ask as we both get up from laughing.

"I just got here late last night, I was going to call you to tell you I was here bit I figured you were in bed already." She states, running her hands through her hair.

I notice that she's changed a little bit since I've seen her seeing how I haven't seen her since the last day of school because everyone was busy getting ready for college.

Her hair is a bit shorter, it was down to her waist like mind but now an inch or two has been chopped off. I notice that she has contacts now because she used to wear glasses that always covered up her beautiful green eyes. She's gotten a bit tanner from her being inside most of the summer due to her packing.

But of course shes still the goofy Grace that I've known since the sixth grade. We've been inseparable since then. She's the closest person I've ever had and knows basically everything about me. She also knows about my father, she's the only one that knows about him.

I'd always go over to her house late at night if something bad happened with my father. Of course I didn't have my mom seeing how she died when I was little which was when my father started abusing me.

"We need to catch up, how have you been?" I ask her, moving to the side of the hallways so people can get by.

"I've been great actually, you?" She asks, taking her books out for im guessing her first class she has this morning.

I decide to tell her everything about what happened from me meeting Bryant until this morning and when I said everything, everything as in me kissing him.

She bursts out laughing once I'm done, wiping a tear from her eye. "For the first time ever, Clarence Wilson makes the first move."

"I was just in the moment, plus it probably won't happen again!" I defend myself.

"Just in the moment?" She asks. "No honey, I think you just wanted to seduce him." She says as she laughs.

I smack her shoulder. "I wasn't trying to!" I argue.

My alarm goes off on my phone, signaling that it's ten o'clock which means that it's time to go to class. "What class are you going to?" I ask as I turn off my alarm.

"English." She answers my question.

Excitement overflows my body as I squeal. "Thank god we have a class together, thankfully I know someone."

As we walk towards our class we basically just update each other about what has been going on in our lives since we haven't seen each other for a long time.

We walk in the class and both gasp from how many people are in here. I totally forgot that there was like be twice as many people as there were in my high school classes.

We both decide to sit in the first row seeing how there are too many people in the rows up the stairs.

I take out my English book, some paper for notes, and pens to write. As I get settled, I hear the door close, I'm guessing that's the teacher.

I hear a lot of whispers throughout the room, then I hear Grace whispering towards me.

"Oh my goodness, who knew English professors were hot in college?" She says as she bites her lip.

I look up at her and silently shake my head seeing how she's a little horny nineteen year old, she mouths 'what' towards me, I start to laugh.

"Hello class, I am Mr. Johnson, your English professor." A familiar voice says, I immediately pop my head up and come face to face with Bryant.

Well, this will be a long semester.
