Lydia couldn't even stare at his face, every time she looked at him, the memory of their fight came into her mind. Mr. Barnes explained some things about their workshop, what exactly would he teach and what they would learn.

'' So, I would like to know you better. As you can all see, there are only fifteen people in here, so you can tell me your names and if you can, any other things that you would like to share with us''

The first person started to introduce himself and saying some of his favorite things. A few others followed and then it was Lydia's turn.

'' What about you, miss? You, with the red hair '' Bucky smirked at her.

'' Um... my name is Lydia Martin''. Lydia said, sounding extremely indifferent. Bucky nodded '' Just that? You don't have any other information that you would like to share?''

'' No, sir. Just that''.

The rest of the group introduced themselves and after that Mr. Barnes started his lesson. Lydia couldn't really pay any attention and she was so frustrated, that her most significant lesson had to be taught by him. Time passed and when the class was dismissed Lydia left as fast as she could. After some time, she met with Allison and explained everything to her.

'' Are you kidding me? Oh... my God, Lydia! He is your professor! What are you gonna do now? ''

Lydia sighed '' I have no idea, Allison! I bet that he is not gonna let me pass any of his tests. God, my entire year is gonna be screwed''

'' Maybe, you should try to talk to him, you know... So you could end all your differences''

'' Yeah... I might do that''. Just then, the girls noticed him walking and heading towards his car.

'' You gotta admit that he is hot though!'' Lydia looked at her, in a very disapproving way.

'' Nah.. he is nothing special''

''Well, you have a boyfriend after all. Are you gonna tell him what happened?''

'' No way! Are you insane? Tom would get so mad''

When the night came, Lydia decided to go out with Tom.

'' You're not much of a talker tonight. What happened?''

''Nothing... I'm just a bit nervous. Tell me about your day '' Tom was in the same university, but he studied in a different department. He started telling her about his day, but Lydia couldn't really pay any attention to him.

Bucky was out with his best friend Steve, too. He started saying to him, that the red haired woman was one of his students.

'' Your student? Are you kidding me?'' Steve started laughing his head off. '' Oh, dude... what are you gonna do now?''

'' I don't know man. I just wanted a peaceful year, but I'm not really sure that this brat is willing to give me one''

'' Ha! I would like to watch you teach though... Mr. Professor!'' Steve was still laughing. Bucky frowned.

'' I think the best thing to do is to totally ignore her.''

'' Yeah... sure! Good luck with that. Anyway, tell me about Anne now. Is still pressuring you to marry her?''

'' Oh... man. She has started to annoy me. I told her many times that I like our relationship as it is. But No! She has to constantly bring up the subject of marriage"

Their conversation kept going, until it was late and they decided to leave.

The next time that Lydia had her chemistry workshop, was determined to speak with him. After he entered the class, and started teaching, Lydia noticed that he was completely ignoring her. He didn't even look at her and Lydia couldn't help it but feel a little sad. After the class was over, she approached him. "Mr. Barnes?''

" Yes? Would you like any additional information miss?"

Lydia was speechless for a second. " Um… No"

"Ok… then what?"

Lydia observed him, he seemed completely ignorant about what happened between them.

" I would like to talk about… you know.. what happened in that bar"

" Bar? I don't seem to recall anything. Weird"

Lydia stared at him in shock " Come on now. Don't pretend as if nothing happened between us" She almost shouted the words.

" Miss Martin, I am your professor and I demand your respect. If you don't have anything substantial to say, as usual, then you should better leave" He said the words in a very calmed tone, but his deep voice made the words even more intense. Lydia turned her back and left. She went straight to her apartment finding Allison there.

" That son of a bitch!" She shouted.

"Hey, what happened?" Lydia explained some things at her.

" I mean can you believe it?! I tried to talk to him and he said that he didn't remember anything. What an idiot!''

Lydia was so hurt, her professor was almost always monopolizing her mind and the fact that he seemed so ignorant of her existence annoyed her a lot.

More and more days passed and the relationship between Lydia and Bucky didn't become any better. The fact that her professor kept acting as if nothing had happened was so exasperating for Lydia.

"Sir, I don't think this is quite right" Lydia said one day, during his lesson

"Excuse me, miss? You think you know better that the scientists?"

"Nah… I'm pretty sure that the scientists were right. I'm talking about what you wrote in the blackboard. These things are a bunch of nonsense!"

"Nonsense? I don't think you quite understand to whom you're talking to" Bucky stared intensively at her. Lydia tried to ignore his crystal blue eyes, instead she decided to focus all her energy to exasperate him. She didn't know what came into her head, usually she was a well-behaved person, but when it came to him, she wanted to challenge him and her own self.

"Oh, I understand well sir. You are the one with the memory loss"

"That's it! Get out. I have no desire to open a conversation with someone, who is not willing to listen AT ALL" He stressed the last words.

Lydia laughed and left the classroom.

After some time, Bucky dismissed the class and went to his office. Exasperating little woman he thought. Then his cell phone rung, he saw it was Anne. He wasn't really in the mood to talk to her but he picked it up anyway. "Hey baby"

Lydia was about to come into his office and finally apologize to him. She was tired about this animosity and if she wanted to be completely honest with herself, she liked when she saw her professor smiling to her fellow students. Never at her though. She thought the conversation in her head, she wanted something like

"Hey, I'm really sorry about all these things. Can we please forget all of these stuff? I'm also really sorry about what I said in that bar. It wasn't your fault." And he would her one of his greatest smiles and would say "Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry too, about what happened. Let's forget everything"

Lydia smiled and she was secretly happy that these two would finally have the chance to talk. However as she was about to enter she overheard him

"Look, baby I have a lot of work today, I have some tests I need to correct. You can come, though, if you want….. Yeah….. Sure…. Ok see you later then… Love you too Anne"

She froze and stood motionless there for more than two minutes. Oh crap she thought. Just in time, he exited his office but he saw her waiting.

"Do you want something?" He asked. Lydia was numb but she couldn't really comprehend why.

"No, I'm fine. I don't want to waste your time anyway" She said in an abrupt way and left. Bucky was left speechless once again. What's up with her he thought. An unwelcome smile emerged in his face, one that he couldn't really understand why, but he started to found the whole situation really funny. He remembered the way she pouted every time he talked. How desperately she wanted to diminish the importance of his lesson. However, he also felt very pissed at her and he still considered her a pain in the ass, even though sometimes some of his thoughts betrayed him. Oh what I'm gonna do with you Lydia Martin
