Late Late Late

I did not make it in time for my exam. How could I? I spent half the morning bingeing demon slayer! I did manage, however to make it to the tail end of the event.

“Impressive.” Professor Slater sighed as I scrambled into the class room. She’d been the only soul inside, all my peers had finished their exam and escaped for the winter break. “You’re almost perfectly late, only a few seconds to spare.”

She was packing her bag for an exit:

“I slept in.” I said nebbishy. A complete fucking lie, but come on! I had live tickets to a stuffing video! “Could I just get a few…”

“No.” She zipped up her bag and slung it over her shoulder. She was a beautiful woman in her early thirties. She had long brunette hair, and was wearing a tight red turtleneck. Was there anything hotter than a woman in a sweater. “Then I’ll be late. It’s a vicious cycle.”

“But but but….” I sputtered, seeing time and money flush down the drain.

She walked towards the door and as a consequence towards me. She smiled, though maybe not warmly and put her hand on my shoulder. “I’ll see you for a make up exam to…yip!”

She yelped as a surge of energy passed between the two of use. The same kind of felt that morning. I need to stop dragging my feet! I’d shocked everyone I touched today! Professor Slater was now staring past me with a blank look on her face. This was too weird Ava had made that same face when…

Professor Slater sighed loudly. “Yeah I guess I’ll see you tomorrow, before break starts, thanks for that.” She then brushed past me, and into the hall.

I watched her leave and marinated in the silence of the room.

That was… kind of weird right?
