The Professor and I (Complete)

Chapter 2

    I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock going off. Uhg, I hate that stupid noise. I smack it with my hand and roll up, letting our a groan. I got up and grabbed my stuff to go brush my teeth. I walked to the Co-ed bathrooms and fixed myself up before returning to my dorm to pick out an outfit. 

   I looked through my closet and decided on a black pair of skinny jeans, a pastel green top and a pair of black flats. I pulled my auburn hair back into a pony tail and put some mascara on. I looked at the clock and saw that class started in 15 minutes. I took a deep breath, gathered my books and walked out the door. 

--- 

   The day went by fairly quickly and it was time for my last class of the day. Creative Writing. I decided to prove him wrong and walk into class at the same time as everyone else. So I did. I walked in with the rest of the students and sat in my usual spot. This time it was different though because someone sat next to me. No one ever seemed to want to sit in the front unless it was necessary but there were plenty of other seats available and this guy still chose to sit here. Next to me. Hmm. I looked over at him and studied him for a moment. He was tall and had lots of tattoos. He looked like a typical bad boy and i rolled my eyed. What I was not expecting was for him to talk to me. 

"I'm sorry to bother but you, but I seemed to have misplaced my pen. Do you have one I might be able to borrow?" 

He was polite. 

I smiled and got out my extra pen and handed it to him. 

He smiled. It was a beautiful smile. 

"Thank You. I'm Aaron." 

"Phoebe." 

"Nice to meet you." 

"Nice to meet you, too." 

   I heard Mr. Kevin's voice and I rolled my eyes. Aaron must have noticed because he chuckled and I could not help but chuckle as well. 

"Miss Phoebe, is there something funny? Would you like to share it with everyone?" 

I looked at him with dusgust "Nope" I said, popping the 'p' 

I smiled at Aaron and he seemed amused by me. 

"Then why don't you be quiet." 

"I could say the same to you." 

The class all gasped and made "oooo" sounds. Mr. Kevin walked over to me slowly, eyes locked on mine. "Are you aware I could kick you out of this classroom?" 

UHG! "Yes." 

"Then why do you treat me with such disrespect?" 

Because I can! "I...I don't know, sir. I'm sorry." 

He nodded and continued on with him lecture. Dear Lord I hated him. 

At the end of class I got all my books together and Aaron actually talked to me again. 

"So...I play in this band and we are kinda good, I guess. We are playing at this bar tonight and you seem really cool and I was wondering if maybe...maybe you wanted to come?" 

Was he inviting me? He was! OH MY GOD! I wanted to say yes so bad but I always so no. I wanted to prove Kevin wrong about me. "Sure. What bar?" 

"The Golden Star. Do you know where that is?" 

No, but I'm good with google maps "Yes." 

"Awesome. Tomorrow night at 8. See you there." He blushed and walked away from me. 

I blushed too. Hmm. Odd. 

I headed for the door when I heard Mr. Kevin's voice "Your attitude today was something...interesting." 

I turned around "I don't think it's a secret that I find you annoying." 

He laughed. "Back at ya." 

"I don't have time to stand here and have witty banter with you, Mr. Kevin." 

I start to walk out again but I stopped when I heard his voice "Aaron is an interesting fellow. I have heard his band play. They are quite good." 

"What's your point?" 

"I also see how many girls he goes home with after gigs." 

"He's inviting me as a friend. I don't care about who he sleeps with?" 

"You don't care for him as more than a friend? You don't wish to fall in some sort of deep, passionate, college student love with him?" 

"I don't believe in love." 

I started walking out again. 

"What?" 

"You heard me." 

Then I was gone. 

--- 

   It was Saturday night and Aaron's gig at the bar was 2 hours away. I looked into my closet and could not find what to wear. I looked to my roommates for guidance "Tiff What should I wear to a bar to see a friend play with his band?" 

She shot up from her bed and came rushing to my side "You got invited someplace and said yes?" 

I nodded and rolled my eyes

"Oh my gosh! Yay!" She looked at my closet "Oh honey, nothing in here." 

She went to her closet and pulled out a little black dress and a pair of black heels "This." She handed me the items and pulled my black leather jacket out of my closet "and this." 

I looked at it. It was sexy. "Are you sure?" 

She nodded, so excited for me. "Yes!" 

I changed into the outfit and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked good. Like, really good. 

I softly curled my hair and put on some scream eye shadow and some red lipstick. 

"You look perfect!" 

I looked at the clock "Oh, I gotta go!" 

I grabbed my purse and ran from the dorm room. I had to get a cab. 

--- 

   I arrived at The Golden Star and I showed the man at the front my ID. I saw a very pretty women introduce a band called "September Clouds" and I watched as Aaron came out on stage and started to play his guitar and sing. His voice was soft and sweet and every women in the crowd went crazy. I went up close and he looked over at me and smiled. I stayed there for about 5 songs and then they said goodnight to the crowd and went back stage. 

   I had no idea what to do with myself so I decided to get a drink, just for the hell of it. It was a saturday night. Why not? I went up to the bartender and ordered a Beer and sipped on it as I looked around. I saw Aaron coming over to me "Hey." 

I smiled "Hey. Great Band! You guys are pretty good." 

He laughed and blushed "Thanks. Hey, wanna come back stage with us?" 

I nodded "Sure." 

He led me back stage and introduced me to the other 3 members of the band. They were all pretty nice. Before I knew it they were offering me shots of something. I decided to just do it, which was out of character for me. We all sat around talking and laughing and I found myself feeling warm and happy. Several shots later Aaron whispered in my ear. "Wanna go dance?" 

"I have not danced with someone in so long. Since like...high school." 

He reached out his hand "Come on." 

I took his hand and he led me from the back stage onto the dance floor. I had my back pushed against his front and we swayed to the music. I felt happy and cheerful. 

We danced for what felt like hours, but I'm not sure how long it really was. He took me to the bar and we got my drinks. I feel like at this point I had lost all sense of self. I felt kind of gross and sick. I looked around the bar and saw someone I never wanted to see in general, let alone outside of school. Mr. Kevin. 

"Phoebe?" 

Then everything went black.
