Kendall POV:
"I'm serious Logan! I swear to god he is the sexiest thing to ever walk this earth! You know that I wouldn't lie to you about this!"
He rolled his eyes at me like he had been doing for the past 5 minutes. "Kendall, I didn't say that you were lying. I just feel like maybe you're stretching the truth just a little bit. And the whole winking thing…yea. I think you were imagining it."
I sighed, "Fine. Don't believe me. I'm going to prove you wrong though. The next time I have class I'll take a picture of him or something."
He laughed, "Alright. But if you get caught it might be a little bit creepy for him."
"I'm not going to get caught Logan. I'm a very stealthy person. Like a ninja."
He shook his head, "Ok Mr. Ninja. Can we please go enjoy some lunch? My calculus class made me hungry."
My eyes grew wide, "You were in a calc class for three hours?"
He nodded.
"How the hell can you do that? I wouldn't survive two minutes in there!"
"Calculus isn't really that hard. I'm actually sort of excited for this class. I think I'm going to take trigonometry next. I don't really have to take that class but I think it'll be interesting."
I patted his back, "Logie, I do not know how you do it. You're so smart. And since you're so smart you wouldn't mind doing my homework for me right?"
"No. Sorry Kendall but if you even want to get close to passing your classes you're going to have to put at least a little bit of effort into them."
I shrugged, "Hey, it was worth a shot. You can't blame me for trying."
He laughed, "I guess not. Just because I won't do the homework for you doesn't mean I won't help you with it if you don't get it."
I nodded, "I know. I was just hoping that I could spend more time playing video games. I know how much you like to learn things. And we both know how much I like to play COD. So I think it would only be logical for both of us to do what we like. Right?"
"Umm…No. As much as I'm happy that you actually thought that plan through, it's not going to work on me."
"It worked in high school."
"Not really. I just knew that if I didn't do that work then it would never get done. I wanted you to actually graduate."
"So you don't want me to graduate college?"
He shook his head, "I know that you'll do the homework here because you're paying for your classes and you don't want to waste your money."
"Hmm…My little Logie is finally catching on."
He ruffled my hair, "Kendall, I caught on years ago. I just didn't want you to be sad that I did."
I chuckled, "Nicely played."
"Well thank you."
We both laughed as we walked into the cafeteria that was located just a block or so away from our dorms. The food there wasn't too bad but you think that they would give us better stuff for the price that we had to pay to live there. For the past week that we had been there Logan and I had been going out to eat instead of eating what they had provided. Now that we were in classes though it was harder to do. Logan had a chemistry class about two hours after his calc class and that really gave us no time to go out. We decided that he would come to our room after chemistry and we would go somewhere to eat together.
Our lunch wasn't too bad. Logan had a huge salad and some fruit and like always he scolded me for getting French fries, a hamburger, and cake. I just laughed at him and kept eating my food. I knew that eating that sort of stuff wasn't exactly good for me but I wasn't ever in the mood to eat a salad. It just wasn't my type of thing. I was used to him rolling his eyes at my food choices so it didn't bother me at all. I knew that since he was going to be a doctor he was always going to be on my ass for eating unhealthy things. He was aware that he would never be able to change my eating habits so he eventually gave up and paid attention to his own food. When we both finished we had a little time to kill before Logan had to be at this next class so we walked around campus to figure out where everything was located.
After a few minutes of silence Logan said, "So how do you think you're going to do in your English class?"
I shrugged, "Honestly, I have no idea. I mean Professor Sexy said that I can come to his office at any time to ask for help on anything. That doesn't really mean that I'm going to do well though."
"He told you that you could come see him at any time?"
I nodded, "Yea. Said that I could come see him day or night."
"Umm…That's a little odd. Don't you think?"
"No. He just wants to make sure his students don't fail his class. What's weird about that?"
He sighed, "Kendall, office hours for the professors aren't 24/7. They have other classes to teach and they have to sleep at night you know."
"Logan, he's just trying to be helpful ok? I don't think it's an unusual thing to offer a student some extra help. And I'm sure he didn't really mean that I could just knock on his office door at any time."
He rolled his eyes, "Ok Kendall. I'm just saying I don't want you to be going to his office at midnight and expecting him to be there. Because honestly, he won't be waiting for you."
I chuckled, "I know Logan. Don't worry." I pulled out my phone and looked at the time. "Your next class starts in like a half an hour."
"Oh shit. I still have to go to the dorms to grab my backpack."
We ran back to the dorms and before he left he gave me a goodbye hug. A few minutes later I received a text that he had made it to his class in time. I smiled happy that he wasn't tardy on his first day. I turned on the TV and jumped onto my bed. I grabbed my laptop and set it on my lap. When it turned on I went on the internet and checked my email. Three new messages. One was from my mom asking me about how my first day at school had gone. I had replied back telling her that it went quite well and that I was actually having a lot more fun than I had anticipated.
I went on to the next message which was of course junk mail. I hated junk mail. I rolled my eyes and went on to my last message. I had no idea who it was from but clicked on it anyway thinking that it could be from the school or something. When I clicked on it I began reading.
Kendall,
It was nice meeting you today. I feel like you have a lot of potential. If you would like to come in for some tutoring just let me know. I'm available at all times. I'm not trying to be a creep. Lol. I would like you to know that I found your notebook on the floor. After you left I came back to let you know that the first hockey game is coming up and I found it. I'll give it to you next time I see you. Have a good night.
Sincerely,
J Diamond.
My eyes got wide after reading the email and I didn't think that I would be able to type back a reply. Even if I could what would I say? Either this professor was really close to his students or he just wanted to be close to me. And hey, who was I to tell a teacher how to do his job? If he wanted to email me then I would be more than happy to email him back. I hit the reply button and started to type.
Professor Diamond,
Thank you for picking my notebook up for me. I really appreciate it. I'm looking forward to being in your class. I would be glad to come in for some tutoring. Just let me know how I can reach you when I need to get some help. See you soon.
-Kendall Knight
I smiled when I sent it. I thought about how amazing it would be to touch him and have him hold me all through the night. My smile went away when I thought about how ridiculous I was being though. He was a professor. Just because he emailed me and offered me tutoring did not mean that he had a thing for me. He was probably just being nice because he knew that I was stupid. I sighed and closed my laptop. All I needed was a little nap to get him off of my mind. I was going to stop thinking about him as if we were going to be together. He was my teacher and that was it. I just had to learn how to accept that. Even if it was a very difficult thing for me to do.
Kendall POV:
The next day passed and even though Logan had got my mind off of Diamond for a while I couldn't help but think of him when I was lying in my bed trying to sleep. Since I couldn't stop thinking about him it took me hours to actually close my eyes and let my mind rest. Now my alarm was buzzing again and I just didn't want to get up and go to his class. As usual Logan woke me up anyways and I went and took a shower. When I got out of the bathroom my clothes were once again set nicely on my bed. Logan only had one class today and it wasn't in the morning so I didn't even know why he was up so early. Seriously he just needed to stay in bed and sleep for once. He was always up before sunrise and it drove me crazy because that meant that I would never ever miss this class unless I could convince him that I was sick.
As soon as my clothes were on he handed me my bag and told me to have a good time in class. Seriously he was just like my mother. He was just too responsible for his own good. Before I left the room I turned to him.
"Hey, Logan?"
He looked up at me. "Yea?"
"I might go in for tutoring today after class. I'll text you and let you know what I'm going to do."
He smiled, "Ok. Have fun."
I knew that it would make him happy if I at least tried to do well in school. Even if I didn't have a 4.0 GPA or even close to that he would still be proud of me.
I walked down the stairs of our dorm not wanting to deal with the people in the elevator today. When I got out of the front door I realized that it was kind of windy outside. I was happy that Logan had laid a jacket out for me because honestly if he hadn't I would be pretty damn cold. Just then my favorite gray beanie flew off of my head and the wind was carrying it through campus. I ran after it not caring that people were staring at me. I pushed students out of the way to reach my prized possession. Right when I was about to catch it I ran into someone. I fell back onto the ground and moaned. Damn. That hurt.
"Oh man! I'm sorry! Are you o- Kendall?"
I looked up and blushed when I saw that the person I had ran into was Professor Diamond. "I'm sorry Professor. I didn't mean to run into you."
He chuckled, "It's alright." He held out his hand to help me up and I gladly took it. His hands were so warm and soft I could just hold them all day long. "Oh, uh, here. I'm guessing this is what you were in a hurry about."
He handed me my beanie and I nodded. I placed it on my head and put my hood up to make sure it didn't blow away again.
"So were you on the way to class?"
I nodded, "Yea. I wanted to make sure nobody got my seat."
He laughed, "That's exactly how I was when I was a student. I always wanted the same seat." I let out an awkward laugh and he continued. "Well, since we ran into each other would you like to walk to class with me? I have to stop for some coffee but if someone takes your seat I'll make them move."
I stuttered, "Uh, y-yea. I would uh, l-like that."
Wow Kendall. Get it together. He's your fucking professor. It's not like you're on your first date or something.
"Alright. I left home a little early this morning. I didn't want to be late again."
"Yea, traffic is bad this early in the morning. Where do you live?" Yea Kendall. Ask a personal question. Why don't you just beg him to take you home with him so you guys can start your god damn life together?
"I live a few minutes out of Monticello. I used to live in Lake City but I wanted something a little closer to campus."
"I know where that is. Lake City is right by my home town."
"Isn't it beautiful there? Especially in the summer. I used to go boating there with my dad."
I furrowed my brow, "Like sail boating?"
"Yea."
"I've never been on a sail boat before. I see them all the time over there but I just never got the chance."
"You should try it sometime. It's amazing."
I smiled, "I will one day."
We walked into the Starbucks that was conveniently right next to our dorms and stood in line. He looked at the freshly baked pastries that were lined up I couldn't help but notice how good he looked. His hair was messed up from the wind (which made him look extremely sexy), he had a black suit with a red tie, and he had a black scarf wrapped around his neck. I wish I could rip that scarf off of him and give him the biggest hickeys that he would ever have.
"Kendall?"
I snapped out of my trance and saw that he was looking at me with amused eyes. "Uh, yea?"
He pointed to the menu, "See anything you like?"
Hell yes. I like all of that sexy body that's in front of me. Give me some of that.
"Uh, no thanks. I'm kind of short on money."
"It's on me."
I stuttered, "Uh, n-no. I don't w-want you spend-ding you're money on m-me."
He smiled, "No really. I insist. Go ahead. Anything that you want."
I slowly made my way up to the register and ordered a black coffee. He went after me and got some fancy coffee and two blueberry muffins.
We have the same taste! That's my favorite kind of muffin!
We both grabbed our coffee and he took the bag of pastries from the cashier after handing her the cash plus tip. He's such a gentleman.
"So do you like absolutely hate English or did you just see me and decided that you hated my class?" He laughed and my eyes grew wide.
"What? No! I don't have anything against you! You're actually a very good English teacher! You're very helpful and attractive and nice!" I blurted out my words before I could stop myself.
I knew at that point that my cheeks must have been a very bright red. He laughed, "Attractive huh?"
I didn't know what to say so I just sunk deeper into my jacket hoping that he couldn't see the embarrassing blush that made its way onto my face.
He put his arm around my shoulder and said, "Hey, it's ok. I'm very flattered. It's not every day that I get complimented by such a stunning man."
Stunning? Did he just say that I was stunning? Oh my god. I'm going to burst into flames if I blush anymore.
I awkwardly laughed, "Thanks…"
"No problem. I'm sure your girlfriend is very happy to have you. You're an extremely nice guy."
"I umm…I don't have a girlfriend."
"What? Really?"
I nodded, "I'm…gay."
"Hmm…Well from one gay dude to another, anyone would be lucky to have you."
Stupid blush! Just go away! "Thanks. Again. I've never like had a boyfriend or anything. I'm kind of new at the whole gay thing."
"Here's some advice. Don't let any guy take advantage of you. It doesn't matter how cute he is, if he does anything to make you feel uncomfortable just break up with him. He may look all nice and innocent on the outside but he could be a total asshole on the inside. Trust me."
I laughed, "So if I get a boyfriend and he tries to touch me without my permission I should dump him? That seems kind of unfair."
He sighed, "Ok, well I didn't mean it like that. If he like tries to get in your pants every day and you clearly don't want it but he still keeps trying then you should just kick him to the curb."
"Have you had some bad experiences?"
He chuckled, "Is it that obvious?"
"Extremely."
"You know how you can avoid being as educated as I am with terrible relationships?"
I shrugged and shook my head, "No. How?"
"Take my class."
I asked, "You have a class about relationships?"
"No. I mean the class you're in now. Every time you come in for help or something I'll give you another tip and that means that you'll be very well educated by the time you finish."
I laughed, "Are you just trying to get me to not drop your class?"
"You caught me. I think you can pass my class. You're very smart."
"If you actually knew me then you wouldn't think that."
"Actually I would. I know I probably shouldn't have done this but I read through your notebook and you write some pretty good stuff."
I gasped, "You read that? Oh my god…no…"
"What? It was all very good. I wish I could write songs. I can never just sit down and think of catchy things like that. I only do covers."
"Wait. You play?"
He nodded, "Yea. I play guitar. It helps me relax."
He's perfect! He loves hockey, blueberry muffins, and now he plays guitar! Not to mention that he's completely fucking sexy.
He continued, "Maybe if I tutor you then I can show you."
I smiled, "That would be cool."
He looked down at his watch and sighed, "We have fifteen minutes until class starts."
We walked into the building and I looked at the stairs and sighed.
"What?"
"I hate these stairs."
He laughed, "Well come on this way. I know this elevator doesn't work but there's another one over here that we can take."
I smiled, "Thank god! You are a life saver!"
He chuckled, "I don't know about that but I'm glad that I can make you happy."
Marry me.
We got into the elevator and we sauntered down the hall to the classroom. He opened the door and surprisingly nobody was there yet. We both set our coffee down and he opened the bag of muffins.
"Here you go." He handed me a muffin and I smiled.
"How did you know that I like blueberry?"
He smiled back, "Great minds think alike right?"
I nodded, "Indeed they do."
"So here's the number to my office number if you need to come in for help later. If I don't answer just email me or leave me a message and I'll let you know when you can come in."
I grabbed the piece of paper with the number on it and said, "Thanks. I really appreciate the extra help."
"No problem. It is my job after all."
I slipped the paper into my pocket and we talked about random things until class started. During class all I could think about was the fact that I had about four months. Four months to make this teacher fall for me. And the first thing that I needed to do was call the number.
So I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter. I like it but I'm not sure if I want them to be really together yet. I'm sure I'll figure everything out soon. Let me know what you think! Please review and favorite and all that good stuff! I love you all! Thank you for reading!
