18 Carlos Evan

Carlos took a deep breath and nodded. Evan smiled at his son "You are not going there as a student....you are way too smart for that"....

Michelle was quite excited and nervous, she had watched a few movies that taught about the life and experiences in college but now....

After fixing her hair in front of the mirror she sighed " Everything will be fine.....right?"

Making it to her first class wasn't as hard as she thought. After touring the whole place yesterday she was quite familiar with the environment.

Five minutes before class started, she was already seated, waiting for the lecturer like the rest of the students.

But when the lecturer finally came in she was dumbstruck....'What the hell!'

Carlos stared at the faces in the class and sighed....this was definitely not how he pictured his first ever vacation.

Ignoring the ogling of a few girls, he noticed a familiar girl sitting way behind, his lips threatened to curl....at least he found her with hacking into the university's records.

"Hi, My name is....Carlos Evan and I will be your professor for the next 6 months"

Some of the girls squealed "Six months is more than enough!" one of the girls next to Michelle said making her roll her eyes.

'I wonder if they came to study or look at men'

She shook her head and brought out her book from her bag, listening attentively and taking notes. She would sometimes notice Carlos' gaze and her and she would return it with a smile....one thing she didn't understand was why the Director of Glorious Corp was teaching at a university. Did he need more money?.....That made absolutely no sense! She thought.

After lectures were over, Michelle was cornered by quite a few girls when she was making her way out.

"Why was Mr Carlos staring at you?" The girl in yellow asked, she didn't hide the excitement written on her face.

"Do you know him?, Can you introduce us?" The three girls looked at Michelle with pleading eyes.

"Are you done?" Michelle sighed massaging her temples, she had better places to be.

She didn't wait for their reply before she squeezed her way through the circle the girls made and walked away unknowingly making new enemies.

After three lectures that morning, Michelle could finally rest. She found a large tree with a bench under it. She sat under the tree and relaxed her senses. 'OK...so things are harder and more confusing than I thought....but I can totally do this...totally!' Michelle sighed, just three lectures and wanted to skip classes for the rest of the day.

"Is this seat taken?" Hearing the familiar voice, Michelle shook her head "Definitely not, Mr Evan"

Carlos disliked the way she addressed him but didn't say anything about it.

"How are you coping?" He asked with a smile on his face

Michelle sighed "I'm beat! Gosh this is harder than high school" Finally having someone to talk to, Michelle let out all of her complaints.

Carlos chuckled "It's bound to be....but you'll get used to it in a few days and soon realize, it is not as you think"

Michelle stared at his smile and fell into a daze "Has anyone ever told you you have a beautiful smile?" she blurted out and soon regretted it....she looked away in embarrassment while Carlos was still caught off guard because of her questions.

He cleared his throat awkwardly, ignoring the weird feeling in his chest "My mom has told me countless times....but whenever she tells me, it means she wants to set me up with another girl..."

Michelle giggled, finding it funny that even someone like him still had that kind of problem with his mother.

"Apart from my mother.....someone else has told me though"

Michelle looked at him curiously, she sort of felt like a gossip now because she wanted to know really badly "Who?"

Carlos smiled "You..."
