Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

EMMA’s POV :

 My days went by like a blur.

College classes were not as simple as high school classes.

The professors were teaching classes of hundreds of people and they didn’t stop for nobody.

You had to be the one racing to catch up with him and with everybody else.

Everyone was so smart and they made it look so easy.

Sometimes I couldn't believe that I got into this school on a scholarship.

I wanted to do well and prove myself, so every day I spent my time studying and catching up on classwork.

People always said that in college, you had to pick two out of these three: a social life, a good academic life, and a good night’s sleep.

I picked my academic life and a good night's sleep.

If I didn’t have my sleep, I wouldn't be able to function.

Plus, I enjoyed my time alone.

That meant I could Facetime lan.

Sophie was like my opposite.

She chose her social and academic life, which meant she barely had time for herself and for sleep.

Tristan was somewhere in between us.

Tristan preferred staying in his room and reading, but Sophie would always drag him out.

Before I knew it, months had passed and it was midterms week.

Sophie, Tristan, and I would spend every night in our dorm room, ordering take-out and making flashcards.

Sophie was the best food picker and Tristan had great flashcard skills.

It was great having them as my study buddies.

Midterms week was stressful as hell.

I wanted to do well, so I was so nervous.

All I could think about every day were my tests.

Even when I was facetiming lan, you would think we were doing something kinky, but no.

lan would be eating cereal while watching me study with my flashcards.

I loved that lan was such a supportive fiancée.

He always encouraged me to do my best and never made me feel bad for blowing him off when I wanted to study.

Sophie said that it was because he was older and mature.

Guys our age would be clingy and whiny and dramatic.

I didn’t know anything about that, I just knew that lan loves me and wants the best for me.

Point blank period."Finally! We're free!"

Sophie squealed as she pushed our dorm door open.

She threw herself dramatically on the couch as Tristan and I sat next to her.

"It's only midterms week, Soph.We still have finals,"I said to her.

"And some of us still have projects due,"Tristan added.

"Ugh! Way to ruin the moment you two,"Sophie sat straighter and kicked her feet up on the coffee table.

"I’m just sayin’,"I shrugged.

"It's only the first midterm in our college career, we'll have about seven more,"Tristan stifled a laugh.

"Stop, you two need to stop being a Debby Downer.Can't you see I'm trying to hype y'all up to celebrate with me? I need your help your guys,"she whined.

"No,"Tristan responded quickly.

"You haven't even heard me and you're already saying no?"she said to him.

"I don’t need to hear it, no,"he insisted.
