Forgive and Forget 2

"Oh, I thought you went to your class now." Maia said from behind while holding a textbook and a pen pouch, smiling. "If I'm not wrong, you, ladies, are freshmen, right?" She added.

The two suddenly flinched and stand straight. "Yes, professor, we-we're freshmen" Risty's friend answered and with their head lows.

Maia's face was gentle and calm but for uncertain reason the two felt uneasy with her presence. "I believe you don't want to be late in your class..." She smiled that her eyes are almost curled closed. "Since you're freshmen... You still have a long way to go. Long way to go through." She emphasized then left.

A long way to go? Long way to go through?

The two give each other a "What-does-she-mean-by-that?" look, before they finally realized the time.

"It's ten minutes before 8:00 am, we have to go now to grab the best seats." Risty said. and so her friend nod and gave an "Hm!" Before they rush to their first period class.

When they finally settled to the seats near the window of the classroom Risty finally recalled the rumor she failed to hear this morning. "About the rumor regarding the professor this morning, what is it? Is it horrible?" She whispered.

"Not really. But it's weird." Her friend responded. "They say that there is a certain professor here who doesn't bother about the past, no matter how complicated it is. Like everyone might not get over about something but she can do it overnight... I don't know, I think it's nice but it's weird."

"Really?" Risty curiously asked, "Tell me more."

"Well, there's one time when..."

...

There was a commotion in the faculty, when this professor was slapped by professor A, accusing her as a boyfriend stealer,

but she just nonchalantly denied it, "I'm sorry but I have no idea of what you're accusing me.", then professor A's boyfriend which is also a faculty member rushed in and grab professor A's wrist and forced her to leave with him,

"What are you doing? Stop involving other people into our argument!" He said but professor A manage to escape his tight grasp

"What? Are you afraid I'm going to hurt this woman?! Well sorry not sorry! I already slapped her, and I will hurt her more!!!" Then professor A suddenly pounce on this poor professor and hit her multiple times,

"He hurted me because of you, why can't I hurt you because of him?!!!" but this certain professor did not said any single word anymore.

"Not saying anything?! Speak, you vixen! You were that all coquette on the phone when you called him!!!" she asserted, "Still denying?!"

The people in the faculty could not stand the scene and tried to stop professor A but it's futile, "Calm down, don't do this!" Her boyfriend begged, "I will only stop if she give me her phone!" she declared.

"What kind of condition is that?!" he argued, but what he got is a 'hmppt!' from her.

Then this professor finally spoke again, "Please keep your word." and handed her phone which was seized by professor A within a glimpse though surprised.

"Well, just so you know... I have your phone as well with me!" she turned to her boyfriend and raised a phone on her left hand and the guy's shock is evident, she then unlocked it and slide her fingers few times and showed it to Miss Professor, "This is your number right?"

"I think it is." she assured

"Huh!" *sarcastically coughed, "So you're not denying it at all?! Well I heard him the other day talking lovey-dovey to someone, and when I checked it out you're the last one in the call history!" then professor A started waving her boyfriend's phone in front of everyone, "Then who else that coquette could be?" she grind her teeth as she leaned closer to her.
