The Professor's DEATH

BE HIS STUDENT ASSISTANT

KAORIE

A week after that incident, we haven't heard anything about the progress of the investigation regarding that matter. The police may just have created a scripted stories to cover up the crime in order to avoid further investigations inside the school campus and the entire Morim Institute.

"Psst!" I startled when I heard someone calling me in a disrespectful way. I looked around only to find Dash on his formal Professor's attire.

"Good morning Prof." Words are already spoken as it is. It's a wonderful day indeed to continue living life as Zero Wan.

"You look insane." I whisphered right into his ears enough for him to hear it.

The guard looked at us completely disgusted by the sight of me with this Professor. I distance myself a little bit away from him to avoid any malicious comment from the school guard.

"Insanely handsome." He then laugh a bit after saying that words. I pretended not to hear anything just to end our conversation.

"Good morning, Prof." I said greeting the man on his faded blue polo shirt who just got out from his car.

I didn't bother myself waiting for his reply. Knowing him, he will not talk unless it is important and in my case, I wasn't worth for his time.

"Follow me." I got stunned after hearing him say a word. Without uttering any word, I followed him into his office.

His manly scent filled my nostrills. As soon as we got inside his office, my mouth gaped in awe. I was beyond amazed at what I am seeing right now. I can't find a word to describe the looks of his office. It's much bigger and neat than that of mine. Its interior design was breathtakingly handsome just like this man in front of me.

Ugh, too much for a compliment. Did I just spaced out?

"Who told you to come here?" Huh? Is he talking to me?

"Sir? I thought you—uh ask me to–uhm follow you?" Suddenly, an image of Dash lingered into my mind.

"s**t!" Why did I forgot about him?

"Are you cursing me, Young Lady?" Embarassed with what I muttered, I still manage to ask for an apology for what had happened. It's a misunderstanding!

"No, Sir. I am so sorry. This won't happen again." I told him while my eyes are focused on the ground. Too much embarassment for this day Kaorie.

"Get out." He said using his cold voice and without saying anything, I stormed outside his office and went to my classroom.

While I'm on my way, I saw Calderon laughing his ass out at me. I mumbled "f**k you" but he just smiled and mouthed "Get out", acting as if he is Professor Froilan. Is he insulting me? Of course he is. Dang it!

"Good morning Professor!" The class said in unison as they saw Froilan entering the room. What happened earlier wasn't a big deal to me since no one knows about it, except of course, for the three of us.

"Sit down." His loud manly voice filled the whole room. A moment after, he started his lesson. I cannot catch up on his lesson so I began to imagine things which I would include on my story. I still haven't updated the next part because I'm having a mental block due to different thoughts running through my f**k-up mind.

He continued his discussion and I am staring at him for the whole time but my mind was travelling into various destination.

"Do you all understand?" I blinked twice upon hearing his question. We then answered "Yes Sir."

"That's it for today. Do you have any question?" He again asked and we replied "None."

"Okay, so before the class ends, I would like to ask someone from this class to be my student assistant." A lot of students volunteered to be his assistant. All of them are girls but Froilan always say no.

What the hell? Almost all of the girls are fighting over just for them to be in that position.

"Quiet!" Froilan said putting back the silence inside the class.

"Ms. Wan?" He called

"Yes S-sir?" I stood up from my seat and looked at him.

"Follow me on my office." With that, he brought his books with him and started walking.

I silently followed him. Well, as if I have another choice. 'Remember, be good Kaorie.' I inhaled deeply before entering on his office.

"You'll be my assistant from now on." I got shocked after hearing what he said.

"Huh?" Still can't get over with it. That made me speechless.

"You heard it right. You will be my assistant whether you like it or not." 'No' my mind opposed at his statement but I knew I can't do anything to make him withdraw what he already stated. Knowing him, he's a man of words. Every decision he make, is final.

This will gonna be a great problem for me. He just added himself into my already hectic schedule. 'What do you think of me Sir, a robot?' I wanna ask him that but cat got my tongue.

"But why? Why me?" I asked with my curious mind.

"Why not you?" I cannot utter a single word when he answered my question with another question. 'How is that even possible?' I asked myself.

"Well as you can see, the girls in your class are all head over heels with me but I saw you as an exception. You looked like you just don't care, so I chose you." Ah, I get it now.

"Uh—"

"Besides, you have the credentials. You're the most suitable for that job and you are not like those girls who will just gonna flirt with me." He paused for a moment.

"You're not my type, Professor." I said

"The feeling is mutual. So are you in?" Too persistent eh? I just nodded my head at him as a response.

I sighed and said "Okay, I'll take it." Knowing him as a President, it will be an easy task for me to start and proceed on my own investigation.

"That would be you desk." He said pointing his finger at a certain direction.

I almost cursed him to death after seeing a pile of papers above the table.

"If you're thinking on backing out, well you better not t—"

"I won't. But can I excuse myself for a moment. I still have classes to attend." I said cutting his statement off.

"Yes but you must sort this out after this day ends." What the f**k? Is he serious? Does he think I am someone who have a magical power?

"Yeah whatever." I said while rolling my eyes back and forth. He can't see it anyway.

Afternoon came and a new professor arrived. Guess who he is? He's none other than,

"Professor Xyllus Phoenix Darker, at your service." He then winked at everyone which made me looked at him.

'Disgusting.' I mumbled.

"I am 25 years of age. Single and ready to mingle." He's really out of his mind. If I knew, he's just testing my patience as Zero Wan. Well, you won't succeed Calderon.

"Sir, You are handsome." A girl from the class said and the man in front smiled sweetly at her.

"Beyond handsome." He answered. He's too full of himself indeed.

Dash starts discussing his lesson. He looks and teach students like a true professional teacher. I wonder why he choose his risky occupation over this noble profession.

After he dismissed the class, I hurriedly go to Mr. Arithmeticùs' office.

"Come in." said by the voice from inside.

After I got inside, I sat on a comfortable swivel chair and started doing my job. I just need to sort these papers from past years up to the latest. It took me an hour sorting papers out before I decided to bring it into his table, disturbing him from what he was doing.

"Just leave it there." He said while his eyes are too focused on his laptop. I put the papers back to my table and grab my bag.

I was about to leave when suddenly, "Who says you're done? Go back to your sit." I did what I was told to do.

He stood from his seat and went near my table bringing papers.

"Check this first then you can go after." I just work in silence even though laziness is now taking over my systems.

After checking almost 50 papers of Engineering students, I just leave it above my table and bid my goodbye at him.

"I'm leaving." I didn't wait for his reply because it would take me forever to just wait for his response, so I got out from his office without hearing him utter a word.

I went to the parking lot and drove off using my car. When I got home, I change my outfit back as Kaorie. This set-up sucks!

I badly need an eight hours of sleep to regain my energy. I am so drain.

After all, I had a long and tiring day.
