Professor F

Chapter 1: Pearsons U

Augustine decided to go on her own when she was scheduled for an interview at Pearsons University!

Her parents were both at work so no one could drive her.

She had to take the bus and the subway to reach her destination on time. She entered the University

gate and was already amazed with the buildings inside the premises and the wide field where students

play sports. There are also benches and student lounges where students can stay waiting for their next

classes or hang out with friends.

She looked around as she walked towards the Engineering Department’s building. She's starting to feel

nervous as her steps brought her closer to the hall.

Few students were there and some of them looked at her, noticing that she's a new face. She felt

uncomfortable so she bowed her head while walking up the stairs to the second floor.

She's wearing a black coat over her blush pink turtleneck tucked in a black pencil skirt with her black

heeled shoes. She tied her shoulder length hair up in a ponytail and applied light make up for that

interview.

There are already four students waiting in the lounge near the dean's office. And she's the only girl!

Two of the guys occupied the two single seater chairs and other two were seated in a four seater

couch, occupying both ends that she had to sit in the middle.

All of them are wearing semi-formal clothes like her so she assumed that they're also there for their

interview. She took a deep breath and exhaled as she waited with them silently. None of them said a

word and was suddenly attentive when the secretary approached them bringing folders in her hand.

The secretary smiled. "Hi! I'm Diane, I work as a faculty assistant for Dean Anderson. He'll be

interviewing all five of you today. These are your submitted applications. Just give this to him once you

start the interview." She gives out the folders as she called the names on them. "I'll be in my desk. I'll

be back to call who's going in first, okay?"

They all nodded and relaxed when she left. They're still waiting when the door opened from the main

lobby.

Five pairs of eyes stared at the door and her mouth dropped open when she saw the hot creature

coming in.

He's towering height and lean physique resembles those of male runway models. He carries himself

confidently in his red sweater over his white collared top and folded them up to his elbows paired with

his navy khakis and brown Oxford shoes. His brownish black hair is neatly cut and he wears a sleek,

black rimmed rectangular eyeglasses.

He gave the people in the room a glance as he closed the door behind him. She had to close her

mouth and discreetly swallowed when his gaze landed on her.

Damn! Who is this guy?

She looked at the thick books in his hand. They're engineering books. She wondered if he's also a

student.

Maybe a senior? Oh my God! If I make it here, I may finally have an ultimate crush! He looked smart,

neat and hot! It's the type I'd drool over any time of the day! But why is he staring at me? Oh, is it

because I’m the only girl here?

He looked away and went straight to the room with a sign FACULTY.

She almost fainted in her seat. That can't be right! He's too young to be a professor in this University!

Diane came back with a smile on her lips as she approached them. She called a guy’s name to come

in first. She realized a sigh of relief as she watched them walked towards the Dean's office.

The rest of them stayed at the lounge and she couldn't stop thinking about that hot creature earlier!

He must be a senior student who had to see one of his professors because he's too intelligent he had

to share some thoughts about the class earlier or maybe he had some class discussions that he needs

to clarify with a professor!

“Right! That must be it!" She unintentionally said out loud and the three guys looked at her, their face

shows how weirded out they are. She pretended like nothing happened and pretended to check her

phone. But, you usually knock before coming in, right? Ugh. I should just stop thinking about it.

Hours passed and the guys left after their turn. She arrived last so she was the only person in the room

to be interviewed before lunch.

She's waiting for the fourth guy to finish his interview when the faculty room door opened and few

people came out talking about lunch. The last person who came out was him, the hot creature!

She saw him reading a book as he walks straight to the lounge and sat at the single seater couch. He

crossed his legs and she saw the black expensive socks he's wearing. She tried to take a peek at the

book he's reading but she saw him glaring at her, catching her attempt to look at him so she looked

away.

She's starting to feel uneasy being alone with him while her heart beats so fast that it's the only sound

she could hear.

"Miss Peters? Miss Augustine Peters?" Diane called her again, this time she's standing next to her.

She looked up as if a spell casted have been broken and she finally got back to reality. "Yes?"

Diane smiled at her. "Dean Anderson is waiting for you."

"Oh, right!" She laughed nervously and followed Diane. She could feel that he's still glaring at her.

Damn! What's wrong with me? I'm behaving like a silly teenager! Well I'm still eighteen! I think I'm still Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

allowed to feel this way towards someone as hot as him, right?
