“I do,” I said immediately. “But I’ve heard that there are severe penalties for teachers and students who are found disregarding that rule.”
“I’m willing to take that risk,” he said. “But I understand if you’re not.”
“I’ve been avoiding risks my whole life,” I told him. “I think it’s about time I did something…for myself.”
He smiled. “So, does that mean we’re on Friday night?”
“We definitely are,” I said, feeling excitement burst through me. If there was ever a time to jump for joy, I knew this was the perfect moment.
He smiled. “We’ll need to keep this a secret, though.”
“Of course.”
“If anyone finds out…”
“I know,” I nodded.
“And Jason?” Chance asked.
“What about Jason?” I asked, with a frown.
“I just hope he’s not going to be a problem.”
I thought about that for a second. Jason’s obsession with me was starting to become more than just an irritation. It was starting to become a nuisance. But I reasoned that just because he was odd, that didn’t mean he was dangerous.
“I think he’ll stay away from me from now on,” I said. “I made it very clear how I felt.”
Chance smiled. “Unfortunately, no is never good enough for some guys.”
“It’ll have to be good enough for him,” I insisted. “Because I’m…”
I stopped short of saying that I was only interested in one guy. He fixed me with a curious smile, as though he suspected what I was going to say.
“Yes?”
“Nothing,” I said quickly, and Chance laughed softly.

“Knock, knock,” Lindsey said, as she opened the door to my office and peered inside.
“Hi.”
“Am I disturbing you?”
“Only a little.”
She laughed but walked in anyway. She was wearing dark pants and a sexy red blouse that revealed just the right amount of cleavage. I could understand why all the male students around campus went wild for her. She took a seat opposite me.
“How was your weekend?” she asked.
“Good,” I said, trying to keep the smile off my face. “How was yours?”
“Oh, you know… Quiet.”
“Quiet?” I repeated. “I can’t imagine you having a quiet weekend.”
