My Teacher's Secret Touch

In the movies you'd think college life is the best. You see pretty boys and girls walking up and down, the geeks on one side and the freaks on the other side.. Then you'd see those few awkward ones sitting alone in the corner or somewhere in the grass.. Then later on it's party party party!!! In movies.. That's all in movies. In real life it was nothing like that.. People weren't sitting in groups at all, it was each person on their own... There was hardly any party... Or maybe there was I just wasn't eager to find out. 2th day since I arrived and I already had a headache and was freaking out about where all my classes were and probably what they they were going to be... Or any lecturers who were going to be lecturing us.. Will they be nice? And how the f**k was Orientation going to be. I was stressed as fuck.. And it wasn't good for my health. The main door bust opened startling me a little bit, one girl walked in, beautiful blinde hair, blue eyes and she was taller than me.. I couldn't help but smile at her as she struggled getting in. "hi... Umh.. Are you lost?" I called out from my room. She pushed a bag in, "umh no... This is room 343 right..?" I nodded my head a bit eveb though she couldn't see me, "yes.. It is.." "then I'm your roommate... Hello, my name is Hannah.." I looked at her for a little bit before smiling alone, "hello Hannah, I'm Precious.." "great.. I'd say nice to meet you... But I don't see you and... I just need to put my bags inside..." I quickly jumped out of my bed and went to the kitchen so that I can help her in with her laggage. She had 3 bags in all...you'd swear that she was moving in here.. But I wasn't surprised, her beauty spoke for itself... She seemed like one of those ** influences or something.. A fashionista. "are we moving in forever here or something?" I joked around while moving the last load and she laughed, "oh God you're funny.." I shrugged, "you're just being nice.." She stopped moving and turned to look at me. I was wearing my soccer shorts and a tank top, I had just finishes taking a shower and was planning on laying for a bit before checking out the campus. "you have a beautiful smile also." she added before turning back around and wheeling her biggest laggage to her side of the bedroom and then she disappeared. I went back to my room and sat in bed. I smiled a bit and touched my lips. Was my smile really beautiful. I shook my head a bit and laughed.. Maybe I should just close my eyes and this will all be a dream. .. The place was huge and I felt like I wouldn't know my way around here the second I got out of my room. I sighed and looked around, the hallway was quiet you would swear it wasn't orientation day today. I looked at myself and smiled. I had on some jeans and a dress shirt with sneakers. I felt comfortable and ready for whatever I was about to witness today. The door behind me opened and Hannah came out, she was wearing probably the shortest short she has in her laggage. She turned to look at me, "hey Precious.. It's Precious right?" "yeah.. Hey Hannah.. Are you ready?" She shrugged, "ahh you know.. Did they tell us where to go?" I checked my email again and sighed, "yeah.. It's just that I can't even tell where that is from here.." "but I can..." a voice said behind me. Hannah and I turned to be met by this young man who had a beautiful smile on his face. I furrowed my brows a bit. Was I really swimming in the world of Good looking people or what? Yesterday it was Hannah and now it's him. "umh.. Hi.. I can help.. That's what I said." he repeated and that's when I realized that my jaw was on the floor and I was just looking at him dumbfounded. "my name is Louis by the way.. Young.. I'm not that young I'm just Louis Young.. " he said and Hannah and I laughed at him. He was funny and cute. "I'm Hannah Louis Young who isn't Young and this is Precious.." Hanna said and Louis smiled, "Nice to meet you ladies. So do you want to see what I'm talking about? Or do you want to get lost?" I shook my head, "I don't want to get lost.. And we have to be there in a few minutes. Hannah kinda made us late.." My roommate shook her head, "oh hell no not me.. It was you girl, you took a lot of time getting cleaned up." "Hannah you took two hours getting cleaned up leaving me with only 20 minutes.." I said in a duh tone then turned back to look at Louis, "so she was busy making herself look this beautiful for two hours.. That's why we are late. I took about 30 minutes." He smiled, "that's cute... Okay, now that we know how much time we spent cleaning up... Can we go so that we won't all be late. Follow me ladies." He was funny. We did as he said and the moment we went down the corridor some other students came out also. Others were still getting dressed and to others I could still smell the alcohol. God help me. I don't want to end up like them drinking my life away when I'm supposed to be studying and passing so that my life can be better than it is right now. We reached the hall and it was so big with a podium in the front stage. "okay ladies where do you want to sit?" "in the middle.. I have a headache from yesterday's party and I do not want too much noise from the speakers. " Hannah said and I shook my head, "I want to hear everything that will be said. So the front it is for me.. " I moved away from them and headed to the front, "bye guys.. " I mouthed that at them making Louis to smile and then I went to sit on the first raw. There wasn't much students yet but it didn't surprise me, they were busy partying and busting music last night instead of sleeping. Around 10 we were almost all there, at least over half of students were present. Some guys started dancing on stage. I smiled at how amazing they were and clapped my hands when they were done. Okay, this wasn't going to be boring after all... I thought as I took the paper that was on my chair and took a look at it. It was the program telling us what will happen when and at the back was the map of the college. Amazing. I felt someone sit on the chair next to me. I didn't lift my head up to see whom it was, I just kept on concentrating at the paper in front of me. Mhm... So one lecturer was going to talk. The college Dean who also happens to be a professor was going to talk... The College president was going to talk and they set up a few activities for us new comers. This was going to be an interesting first day I swear. The Master of Ceremonies (MC) got up, greeted us and started making some dry jokes. "...Why are math books always sad?.. Huh is there anyone who can actually tell me..?" he asked and I smiled as soon as I got that. I shook my head a bit and said to myself, '... Because they have so many problems... Ha.. Ha... Ha.. very funny dude..' "she knows the answer... Precious knows the answer... " the person next to me said and that's when I noticed that it was actually Louis. I furrowed my brows at him as soon as the hall went quiet and looked our way. I lifted my eyes up a bit and found them staring.. Including one beautiful lady who was sitting there waiting to go on stage. I bet she was one of the lecturers.. She looked at me. I closed my eyes a bit before turning to this i***t next to me. "dude what the f**k???" I whispered and he smiled at me before pointing again, "she really said the answer.." "Precious...? Want to try and give us an answer." God I was going to kill Louis for putting me on a spot like this. I swear I was. I cleared my throat and sighed before saying, "because they have a lot of problems.." in a bored tone. He laughed and some of the leaners did too including that beautiful lady who was sitting up there.. But some others rolled their eyes... Coz I bet they were bored the same way I was by these jokes. "that's right.. Man I should keep doing comedy if it makes pretty ladies like Precious to talk to me... " he said and they all laughed in there as I furrowed my brows at him. Did he just say pretty to me? Hell no.. He was blind, so blind. Louis giggled a bit next to me, "ahh.. So I'm not the only one who thinks you're pretty, darn this is not good for me." I turned to look at him only to find him staring at me. What the f**k? "what??" I asked and he smiled, "you're pretty..." I had no idea what to say to that, do I tell him no? Do I shrugg it off like what he said was nothing? Do I just ignore him? God. "umh... You too..?" I said more in a question and he started laughing. The hall went quiet again to look at him and I looked so far away from him pretending like I didn't even know him. I knew that this was stupid since he already called my name before.. But I still acted like I don't know him. "Louis my man.. You have something you want to tell us? Something funny? Or some talent since you are disturbing the program here." Louis sighed, "no talent at all.. I apologize for the disturbance I caused.. I won't say anything from now on wards." The guy shook his head," see you on stage in a few minutes." He then finished his lame jokes and a lecturer came to say a few worlds. He talked about classes and all that and he made a few jokes here and there. I smiled a bit, what was it with people here and making lame ass jokes. "I am so bored..." the girl on the other side of me said to herself and I giggled silently. I was starting to get bored too. They put on some dancing people again and I enjoyed that a little bit. "okay... Now I have someone who needs your attention..." the MC said, "this woman mate is not one you can play with or mess around with..." he continued and that now got my attention. I stopped messing around with my phone under my bag and lifted my head up to see whom he was referring to. I stupidly smiled when I saw. It was that beautiful lady. She was now standing up and looking at the MC, God I should have made effort to at least know the name of the guy running this program. But I didn't. "She's beautiful, smart, and funny... Her name is Jessica Wright.. English Professor and The Dean of the college... Please give her a round of applause..." I did with so much enthusiastic and a small smile on my face. I was really looking forward to whatever she was going to say. She slowly walked to the podium. She was wearing some nice Jeans, sneakers and a white shirts. She looked so cute with her hair tied up in a bun. "hello everyone... Don't listen to this one. You can mess with me a bit and I'm totally not stuck up.." she said that looking at me. I smiled a bit. "but yeah I don't take nonsense from students at all" We all laughed. What did she mean we can mess with her if she doesn't take nonsense..? She was a bit funny. "like he said, I'm Jessica Wright... And all I want is simple from you.. Just be yourself and do what you came here for.. You should remember that this isn't high school right.. No one will spoon-feed you things you need. No one will hold your hand like a little baby and take you to class.. You are old enough to do that by yourself. Old enough to know what's right and wrong for you... If you skip class a few times a week, of course I'll call in someone to talk to you, if you keep doing that then I'll let you be because that will be you clearly indicating what you are here for.. If you have any complaint regarding any academics or campus things you come to me and I'll sort you out.. " she said that last sentence looking at me and I smiled at her. She smiled back before looking at the back,"so.. Lastly before you hate me... Just enjoy your life, you guys are still kids.. Live a little and work hard on your studies you know. And remember again, I don't like nonsense at all... Thank you guys.. have fun today... And Welcome to our college." She got off the podium and that stupid smile was still on my face. I loved how she carried herself and how she was so serious yet playful at the same time. She seemed so young also, I wondered how old she was when she received her job here. God she was also a professor? Man, now she inspired me to even work harder so that when I'm probably 26 like her I'd definitely be higher around teaching college students or at university. She looked at me and smiled, so did I and then she went out to the side with the bathroom sign. I felt the edge to know her and get what she did to be where she is now. She was so inspiring. I looked at Louis, "I need a bathroom.." "second door on your left..." he said and I realized that was no where miss Wright went. God, should I go or not. "are you going to go now or not? You'll miss some amazing performances if you don't hurry." Louis said and I nodded my head, "oh darn.. Yeah I'll be back.. Please look out for my staff." "run." I got up and quickly left. I went to the bathroom and just washed my hands since there was nothing I could do. I looked at myself in the mirror and fixed my braids a bit before smiling. I made it out and to my surprise I was met with her leaving the opposite room. It was written "Staff Only" I couldn't help but smile, "hi... Beautiful speech you made out there." She smiled too showing me her beautiful dimples, God, she was even way beautiful closer, "thank you Precious.. Beautiful answer too by the way. I didn't think anyone would get it." I laughed a bit when I noticed that she even remembered my name, "I think I knew all the answers to his jokes.." she laughed, "oh yeah?" "yes... And I loved your speech a lot. Even though it left me with so many questions.." I said and one student came to pass next to us. I shifted a bit making space for the student in the hall way and that put me closer to Jessica. "really? What kind of questions...?" "how did you get here, where you are you know..? Your work.. You seem so young and you are a college dean and English professor. I'd love to accomplish that at a young age too you know." "what did you enroll for Precious..?" "teaching... I enrolled for teaching Miss Wright." She nodded her head, "oh that's great.. You are on the right track then... And wait. How old do you think I am?" I became a bit scared after she asked that. What if I say an older number and she becomes offended. Oh God. Was this a test..? "come on... You said I look young. How young do you think I am..?" she said. I closed my eyes, "umh 26.. " and said as fast as I can.. She didn't say anything. I slowly starter opening my eyes expecting her to be all red faced and ready to kill me but she wasn't, she had that stupidly beautiful smile on her face again. I laughed, "so I'm right?" She shook her head giggling a bit, "Oh God no.. You've never been so wrong.. But I will tell you that I am so flattered that you think I'm that young. " "so you're actually older..." "Jessica...!!" some guy cut me off appearing from a nearby corner. "hey Spancer... I'm on my way.." she said to him and then turned to look at me, "you have given me the best compliment today.. Thank you.. I'll see you around.. Precious..?" I swallowed, "yeah sure.. See you around Miss Wright." I watched as she left and went to that guy. She laughed at something he said and they disappeared. I sighed before going back to the hall.. She was older than 26? God how old was she now? Coz I was so sure with my number. Okay, maybe she's 29...oldest being 30.. She couldn't be over 30.. I sat down and furrowed my brows when I realized that Louis wasn't on his chair. This i***t. I wonder where he went because he left my things alone here. He was going to pay for that. "okay give it up for our last man.. You know when they say save the best for last. We took it literally and saved this guy because he is indeed the best.. Give it up for Louis Young.." Louis...Young? That was his Surname.. Right..? And oh God it was him. He walked on stage with a guitar in his hand. I furrowed my brows a bit surprised. He started playing and God it was beautiful. When that MC guy said he saved the best for last. He really meant it. He was the best. I smiled to myself a bit. Today wasn't as bad and I didn't think this place would be bad anymore. Louis and Jessica made my day. I was now looking forward to the following days, and probably knowing Jessica more so I can learn and be more like her.
