He Looked at Me

The MC crushes on a cute guy. Is he looking at her or someone else?

“The foundation of this school is important. The late Micheal Nunez allowed this to happen. Back in 1967, Nunez...”

I sighed as Dr. Morrow droned on about the school’s history. I looked around at my fellow students and noticed their boredom, too. One girl was on her phone and a group of more girls whispered about who knows what.

I was now a sophomore year at Northside College, and I wasn’t looking forward to it. Last year was hard and I knew this year would get worse. The loads of homework was endless and gossips from other girls about me was constant.

But the only good part was that I got to see Dole Cannon. From what I've heard, Dole broke up with Becky Payne. And let me tell you, she was a real pain.

This year, hopefully I would get to be with him.

I peered a few seats from my right and there he was. He looked at me! I knew he did! Those deep blue eyes were staring into my soul, inviting me in.

Until I looked at the other the left side. Not me. But Mrs. James.

What would he possibly want with a chemistry professor?
