Chapter 5 Teacher's pet

Chapter 4

Brie's pov

I can't believe the sexy guy at the coffee shop was now my boss and professor. He looks way to young. He passed more for a student then a professor. He may be able to put what happened that day behind him and act like it never happened, but it wasn't that easy for me.

I was attracted to him and working together was going to be hard. He kept avoiding me. Maybe it was just as hard on him as it was on me. Was the sexy professor attracted to me?

I don't even know why I was worried about it. It didn't matter if he was or not. Nothing could ever happen between us. This college had very strict rules I would lose my academic scholarship and he would be fired.

No, I had to forget How sexy Reese is, and think of him as a boring old professor. Other than being in the class I really didn't need to see Reese anywhere else. We could make this work. I was all about proving myself.

This was just another obstacle that I needed to conquer. Maybe I should try meeting new people. Ones that were closer to my age. That would help to forget all about Reese.

Being new here made it hard to know where everyone went to hang out. Plus, I was shy and not used to putting myself out there. Being a TA didn't help anything either. I heard a few students call me a teacher's pet.

Why did things have to be so difficult? I was so excited to start my life at college, and now it would be a miracle if I even survived it. Maybe I shouldn't have taken this TA job. Maybe I was trying to do too much all at once.

Was it too late to back out? What would Reese say if I told him I couldn't do this? He would end up thinking it was because I was hung up on him. No, I would be the best damn TA he has ever seen.

As for the kids calling me a teacher's pet, they weren't the kind of people I wanted to hang out with any way. I just needed to go on a few dates to get Reese off my mind. I needed to show him I had moved on so working together would be easier. That wasn't asking for too much, was it?
