An Education of Love

Ethan is a college professor & Theresa is one of his students. They meet over the summer, unaware of how different their relationship will turn out when college starts. What will happen when they come face to face at Harmony University?

2. Summer's Over

Summer's Over

August 31, 2005

Talk about a fun summer! I can't even believe it's over! I met this amazing girl at the beach. I actually have to thank Fox for conning me to go with him

Flashback

"Ethan, you've been preparing lessons for your class all summer long, when was the last time you had the chance to go out?"

"Fox, I can't. I have to get this stuff ready before school starts back up."

"Bro, come on, it's only July! You still have another month before school starts back up. Just take this day off and go out with your favorite brother."

"Fox, you're my ONLY brother."

"Exactly!"

"Fine, fine, I know when I'm defeated!"

End Flashback

If it hadn't been for Fox's constant nagging, I wouldn't have met the most beautiful woman ever. Her name was Theresa. She was Hispanic, with the most beautiful mocha colored eyes I have ever seen. Her smile could light up the room.

Talking to her was as easy as breathing. We had so much in common, it was uncanny, frankly. I can't get her face out of my mind. Her voice haunts my dreams, and her laughter flows into my mind at the weirdest moments.

I remember one time, the four of us, Fox, Theresa's friend Whitney, Theresa and I, all got together to play mini golf. We had so much fun. We called ourselves the competitive bunch. We never gave up until we reached the highest score, and then, I was deemed the winner. Watching Theresa's pout was the highlight of that date, if you can call it a date. She looked so adorable.

I didn't want our vacation together to end. I didn't want my connection to Theresa to end. Sadly, I had to let go, and leave it to fate to decide my destiny. I didn't kiss Theresa because I didn't want to burden her or I with the "what-if" scenarios. I left her knowing that if my future included being with Theresa again, then somehow, someway, it would happen.

Staring out into the starlight sky tonight, I found one star that shone brighter than the others. Closing my eyes, I made a wish, in hopes that it would come true:

"Starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight, have the wish I wish tonight…"

Closing my eyes tightly, I wished for the one thing I wanted…Theresa.

Coming Up

The first day of school leads to a day of surprises!
