Touching the Heart of Ace
Chapter 3
There was something missing.
I felt like not doing anything at all.
I scrolled through my codes to find some kind of motivation to finish my current work, but nothing was working so far.
I thought about grading the class test, but it could wait until next week.
It was getting better; the class average was increasing steadily.
The students got over getting new T.A fast. There were occasional flirting and teasing going on but nothing I could not handle anymore.
Except The Twins.
I kind of got used to buying Julian, one of my classmates, regular lunch to take care of Dr. Cooper??s class.
It reminded me of other Julian; my student Julian.
He was one of the good students who really cared about their grades.
When he called me to his desk during the self-work-out time, I thought he was sick. Turned out the poor soul was troubled because he had no idea how to solve one problem.
??I do not know how to do this.??
??Let me.??
The guy was going to cry.
??It happens, don??t sweat it. You are here to learn things you do not know.?? I gave him an encouraging smile and went through the question.
I saw the guy next to him inching closer and put his hands on Julian??s back.
I was about to call out on him when I saw Julian visibly relax under his touch.
Oh, they were close.
??You are unable to do the problem because the question is incomplete. To be precise, there is a printing error which merged two incomplete questions to one.??
Julian gave me a smile so dazzling. I shook my head and checked the publications.
I winced. ??I will suggest some other texts if you come by the library at 5. p.m.??
??Thank you, Sir.??
??No mention. Could anyone please lend me a red pen???
I saw several pens extended to me from highlighters to glitter pens.
I took a normal one making sure I was not touching any hands. It was like walking on a war field with land mines.
I checked the answers on the back and deduced the questions.
??Alright, I will write the correct questions on the board and please note it down. The questions in the text book might be a bit more complicated, but the bottom line is to draw the circuits and find the acceptable range of voltage.??
??That is so hot.?? Someone whispered when I leaned on the wall after walking along the lanes. I was not sure if I was supposed to hear that.
??I still don??t understand how you find this guy a daddy?! He is a twink! A hot twink, but still a twink. He is androgynous, for fuck??s sake!??
??But he is not.??
??You know, daddies have to be over 6 feet, hairy body and gigantic. Mr. Scott is what, 5 ft 10? 11? You have more body hair than him and you are a girl.??
??No, no... It is not about looks. There is this video with a guy like him, cute, lean and hot. He had chained a black giant??s neck and made him walk like a puppy. I am telling you, he is one of those. I want to be his pup...??
What in the name of Crucified Christ!
??OKAY...?? I boomed making all the students jump from their seats ??Take page number 10.B.102, exercise 2.1.1 to 2.1.10. Questions may be tricky but the answers are simple. You have 30 minutes to finish starting from...now.??
??I will send you that video later.?? The voice whispered again.
I wanted to rub my sweaty palm on my slacks but that would come off as nervousness which I would rather not reveal.
I made sure everyone left the classes before bee lining to nearby wash area.
I had a bad case of sweaty palms this session.
I heard hushed whispers from the bathroom.
??What did I tell you about worrying???
??Not to???
