"Alright class, I hope you did the assigned reading last night." Professor Carson announces, making the whole class quiet down.
Did I do the reading? Surprisingly, yes.
Did I understand it? Nope.
This old English shit is so fucking complicated!
LIKE JUST TALK NORMALLY!
Where for art thou MY ASS!
Okay, so English isn't necessarily my strongest subject.
I'm more of a math girl, shocking...I know.
Numbers are just so easy as long as you have a calculator but reading and writing...let's just say ChatGPT is my best friend.
"Ms.Mercer, what did you think of the reading?" He suddenly asks, making me snap out of my thoughts.
Ugh, kill me.
"Um...it was interesting." I shrug.
The class quietly chuckles and he smiles.
"And what exactly was interesting about it?" He asks, walking over to my desk.
I look up at him, seeing the hint of humor in his gaze.
Asshole.
"The plot."
"The plot? Well, I would hope the plot is interesting. What else-"
He was cut off when the door opens and I feel my heart plummet to my fucking ass.
"Is this Literature and Poetry?" Roman asks, looking around the room.
FUCKER!
"Yes, I'm assuming you're my new transfer." Professor Carson asks.
"Yeah...Roman Pierce." He introduces himself.
"Nice to meet you, Mr.Pierce, go ahead and take a seat."
Roman's eyes meet mine and I don't miss that stupid fucking smirk on his face.
He walks towards my row and takes a seat right next to me.
His presence is suffocating and I find myself scooting away as Professor Carson continues his lecture.
I don't make it very far because I'm suddenly being yanked back in his direction.
"Not so fast, little bunny."
That fucking nickname!
UGH!
"Let go!" I whisper-yell.
He ignores me as I try to pull away from him.
"Why are you even here? Isn't your major something with tech?" I ask.
"Yep."
"So...why are you taking a literature class?"
"Figured I could use the extra credits."
