Professor Keen - Friday

I wasn’t nervous my first day of teaching. I was so burnt out I didn’t feel anything. Not that I expected to be good at it—but I knew I’d be adequate, and I’d teach the students something you can’t learn until the real world’s put you through the wringer.

I forgot what it’s like to care about something. It’s easy to be the guy with nothing to lose. Once you put yourself out there, you open yourself up for more pain.

I had to stop myself from driving to her dorm every night. I had to resist the urge to call the number I found in her student contact details.

I check my watch. Three minutes to class. If she doesn’t show, I’m going to go after her. I’m going to fight. Because I know she’s scared I’m the same guy I used to be, but she’s made me want to be better. I still live life in the moment, but now I know what gives me peace.

Spending those moments with her.

Most of the class is here already. The front row, always primmed and polished, are not so subtly trying to get my attention with glances thrown towards where I’m sitting at my desk.

Why don’t they make me feel anything?

Why is Sam the only one I want?

Stupid questions. The only question that matters is how I end up with her. More students file in, and I double-check my notes. I’m genuinely excited to give this lecture. I’ve spent the last weeks hammering the basics. It’s time to put some of our work into practice. I’m keeping the class in black and white. There will be plenty of time to add in color.

I wish I had them for a year. This short semester isn’t long enough to really watch my students become what they’re supposed to be. I’m supposed to spend a week or two on each basic concept, but it’s too short.

I check my watch again. Three, on the dot, the doors open. Lucy comes in, alone. I’m worried. I search her face for a sign of where Sam is, but she gives me a cheeky grin that suggests she knows something I don’t.

All thoughts of the class disappear.

The last thing we talked about in the car was charged with heat. Me daring her to come late to class again and find out the consequences. I wasn’t expecting her to go through with it. She’s scared of getting caught, and the last time we were together in my office we nearly got found out.

Me? I needed her to be the smart one, because if she tests me, she’s going to find out I’m not just talk.

I clear my throat, standing in front of the blackboard. “Alright class. Today, we’re working on texture. Everyone got their sketchpad and pencil out? Okay. Now close your eyes.”

One of the girls in the front row seems to have trouble closing her eyes, batting them three times seductively before they keep shut. I resist the urge to roll mine.
