*****

David 'Khaled' Green knew nothing about universities and how they operated. He had signed up for a few courses, most of them at the Performing Arts Building. He especially wanted to learn to play an instrument and had sought out Jessica Bancroft as a tutor.

He had his reasons, and as he entered Music Room 2, where they were supposed to have his very first class, he anticipated seeing her. He really wanted to know who was this girl that Clay Reid found so fascinating. If Clay found somebody fascinating, he did too. He was competitive. Tinges of Kara were forming in his mind. Clay had liked Kara, the petite busty girl with the annoying voice, and he had sought to steal her from him.

It had been too easy, and after he had finished with Kara, she was broken. He had rubbed it into Clay's face that he was the one who could get all the girls if he wanted to, and there was nothing that Clay could do about it.

He almost chuckled in relief when Jessica walked into Music Room 2. He had studied her picture on Facebook. He knew how she looked. He knew she was pretty, and he knew that she was a huge Khaled fan. He saw her mouth opened in an ‘O’ of surprise, and she looked at him with a dazed expression in her eyes.

Gotcha, David thought. This was going to be too easy, and as he had heard from his sources that this victory would be more painful for Clay than the one with Kara. This one, Jessica Bancroft, would die for him, like so many others.

"Hi," he greeted her with a short wave. He had to keep it humble. He smiled, knowing his dimple would show.

"I am..."

"Khaled," Jessica breathed, "in the flesh. I can't believe this. Are you my next student?"

David nodded. "Yes, I am. And you must be my instructor?"

"Yes, my name is Jessica. I usually just do introductory classes. You can sign up after the class if you are still interested, and you will get a real teacher. You are supposed to assess my teaching skills. The evaluation forms are over there." She pointed nervously.

"Oh," David smiled at her. "Something tells me that I am going to require you to be my teacher for the long haul."

Jessica's hands were trembling and her voice came out in a squeak. "Me?"

"Yes, why not?"

"I don't think I can do this," Jessica said, feeling surreal. "I mean…you are Khaled! Besides, you know how to play the piano."

"Actually. I don't." Khaled shrugged.

"But you gave an interview in Esquire magazine saying that you play the piano pieces for all your songs, and in your music videos you are always around a piano."

David's mouth tightened and he shrugged. "That was just for the videos and the fans, but see, I am here to learn in order to authenticate things."

Jessica's heart, which was pounding, quieted somewhat. There were so many lies surrounding him and his image. She remembered Clays warning that everything about Khaled was carefully thought out and scripted.
