Chapter 14

Relationships are like garage sales. From a distance they look interesting, but up close it’s just a bunch of crap you don’t really need.

-Helen

Jillian

Suddenly, it was the last week of the semester. Everyone was frenzied, studying for final exams. Oliver called Jill earlier that week and asked her to dinner to talk about some of the things he read about in the journals, but Jill put it off until after final exams. Although the anticipation of knowing what he discovered was killing her, she needed to pass these final exams in order to give her full attention to the journals.

Alexander reverted back to being withdrawn. He ignored her in school and never contacted her outside school. Black continued his tough inquisition in class and avoided her outside of class. On one occasion, she was less than a minute late, and when he saw her come in, she thought she saw a smile form on his hard-lined mouth.

But even Alexander was not immune to the stresses of finals. He was in the library often, Jill noticed. The Saturday before the week of final exams, she got an email from Alexander, who sat three tables in front of her in the library facing her.

Red,

Just wanted to wish you luck on the exams. If you need help, let me know. (This is not a snide remark. I’m being sincere.)

Love,

Xander

Dear X,

Thanks for the offer. I feel good about the exams. As good as I could possibly feel. I want to get chosen for the Mock Trial seminars so badly! I wish you luck too. I’m here to help if you need me (being sincere, too).

Love,

Jill

Red,

I always need you.

Love,

X

She almost melted. He had a special way of getting under her skin when she least expected it. There was no way to answer that email. She couldn’t answer it. What would she possibly say?

She also received a text from Oliver.

I understand you’re in finals, but I have to talk to you. I’ve found out something very interesting and very important. WE HAVE TO TALK SOON.

Jill: Ok. Ok. No need to yell! I promise you’ll have my full attention by the end of the week.

Oliver: Ok! Good luck on exams, baby.

Thursday was her last exam and she felt accomplished. The moment Jillian stepped out, she saw Professor Black leaning against a column in the atrium of the school. He was unusually casual in dark jeans and a black polo shirt, making him look younger—more like a student than a professor. His black hair was slicked back with the end slightly curled up at the nape of his neck. As soon as he saw her, he pushed off the foot that was propped on the column and walked towards her.

“You’re done?” He asked.

“Yep. All finished. I hope I did well. Your exam was tough.”

“I know. So . . . you’re not my student anymore.”

“I guess I’m not.”

“Now we can go out. I’ll pick you up at 7 p.m.” Just like that, he turned to walk away, but she grabbed his elbow, forcing him to turn back around.
