Boys vs Girls
526 Words
Everyone is still and attentive at the woman in front of the lecture hall in fear of being called.
Samara Lincoln is known in the academy for her ability to dissect others' thoughts through actions or body movements, so the students were trying their best to be calm and composed so that their professor won't be able to read their naughty minds and avoid embarrassment. Even Carrice, the most confident in class is surprisingly docile.
"Any questions?" Samara asked.
"None ma'am." they answered in unison.
Their middle-aged teacher raised a brow and made a taunting smirk. "It seems you're all avoiding me. Are you all scared?"
The students froze. As usual Samara was able to delve into their minds. No one said a word.
"Do you know what's the best way to fight your fear?"
They all looked at her and waited for an answer.
"It's to face them. So you have to face me." she said while looking at them one by one.
Again, nobody uttered a word. How would they be able to face a woman with a mind reading skill, thanks to her being a psychologist for almost two decades?
"Let's start with you, Laith Harper." not only is Samara good at mind reading, she also has a good memory.
'F*ck! Why me?' he cursed in his mind as he swallowed hard. His eyes also widened.
"Did you swear in your mind?" asked Samara while looking straight into his eyes.
"Wh...what?" he almost whispered. Did she found that out too?!
She chuckled. "Nevermind. Come here."
He reluctantly stood and carefully walked towards her while his classmates are watching sympathetically because of his incoming doom.
Every step felt like forever. Until finally, he reached the front and kept a safe distance from his professor.
"Come closer."
He did so with a step.
"Closer."
Again with a step. He can feel his knees trembling. He swallowed again.
Samara wanted to laugh with her student's behavior. Is she really that terrifying? Do all students think of her as that? So hilarious!
Pitied over the sight of Laith looking like a mouse at the lion's mercy, she stopped ordering him to come closer. She asked a mind blowing question instead.
"Do you find me attractive?"
"H... Huh?" Laith, along with his classmates are stunned.
"I believe you heard my question."
"W... Well... I... Ugh... " he doesn't know how to answer her question. He studied her face a bit. She has the looks but she's too old to attract him. He's not into milfs...
What on earth is he thinking?? At times like this, his mind is messing up. Ah, such a useless brain!
But if he'll say no, wouldn't that be an insult to her? Oh for the love of p**n! Why is he the one being roasted here?! Why can't it be his friend Zoren? How unfortunate!
"Mr. Harper?"
He snapped out of his thoughts and faced his teacher. "Yes, I... I think your attractive."
"Really?"
He nodded. "Y... Yeah..". Did he answered correctly?
"Then kiss me." she said, leaving everyone, especially Laith, petrified.
"I'm effin' dead.", he said to his mind, unable to breathe.
