Kira sat at the back of her college human biology class doodling on a notebook, bored shitless by the lecture. This was her last class of the day, and the time of day she became the most antsy. The only 2-hour lecture on her schedule always had her struggling to stay awake and pay attention, and today she'd given up retaining any of the teachings. She opted to take out her phone, positioning it under the desk. She thought about what she wanted to do this weekend as she scrolled through Instagram. She saw an ad for a new horror movie that piqued her interest. She tapped her home button and then tapped on the internet app. Her eyes widened in terror as she was greeted by a porn website page that she had forgotten to close. A girl mid-dick sucking with her tits out fully visible on her phone screen.
'Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Oh my god fuck. Oh no.' She thought, immediately panicking.
She twisted her wrist quickly, pressing her phone screen to her thigh to conceal it and tapping the lock button. She didn't want to turn and look at the guy sitting next to her, but she found her head rotating anyways. She'd hoped he hadn't seen anything, but he instantly looked up from the phone to lock eyes with her. The look of total shock on his face that mirrored hers told her he most definitely had. She felt her face grow hot, and knew it was turning red. She quickly broke eye contact with him and stared at the front of the room like she was a model student.
'Maybe he'll think it was a pop-up ad?' She tried to reassure herself, tried to make up any excuse, but the way she looked over at him was probably a dead give-away. Kira hadn't really spoken to the guy that sat next to her apart from mandatory class partnerships to briefly discuss assignments. She couldn't even recall the dude's name.
'Brandon? Brian? Something with a B...'
She had no idea how to handle this situation. Should she say something? Write him a note? Talk to him after class? She felt as if maybe she was blowing this a bit out of proportion. 'It's not a big deal! Everyone watches porn.' She felt herself cringing at the thought of every having to face the guy again, and she was assigned to sit next to him the whole semester.
He crossed his arms, and he sat back lazily in the chair. She sat back as well, looking him over for the first time. She'd thought he was just some weird punk kid who always wore black and smelled a bit like cheap cologne and cigarettes, but upon further inspection she found him to actually be attractive. He had one of those faces that could look cold as marble, and a sharp jawline leading up to a messy brown hair. The thing that struck her was the smoldering gaze, dark eyebrows that tilted slightly inwards, shadowing his narrow brown eyes. He glanced at her and Kira hurriedly looked away as if she wasn't just staring.
The professor handed out a worksheet and Kira wordlessly focused her attention on completing it. After a while when she'd finished, the guy was flipping a pen around his thumb and skillfully catching it. He tended to do that often and Kira usually watched him out of boredom. She noticed his name scribbled on the assignment. 'Blake', she was close.
"Okay so why don't we get into groups and discuss amongst yourselves what you got for the labeling." The professor announced. The room started with quiet murmurs and got louder. Kira grabbed the sheet of paper and stared at it. Neither of them spoke for a while, they just stared at their assignments. Kira noticed instead of 'Pectoralis Major', Blake had written 'Boobs' on the labeling line. Kira laughed as she pointed at it with her pencil.
"I think you got that one wrong." She turned to look him in the eyes and was met by a sly grin. She realized she was entirely correct about dreading facing him because her humiliation returned, and she found herself quickly turning away and craning her neck over her paper rather than keep eye contact.
"Funny how you'd point out that one but not this one." He motioned to the line that corresponded to the 'Orbicularis Oris', the muscle above the lip, that instead, in scribbled writing read 'cock hole'. Blake clearly found that to be funny and chuckled softly. Kira found it to be horrifying because the porno was paused on a blowjob scene and that meant he definitely saw. He twirled his pen around his fingers, and she felt him burning a hole in the side of her head. She rotated her head and met his eyes, steeling her expression.
"It's the Orbicularis Oris." She deadpanned.
"Lotta O's in that one." He cocked his head and slouched in his chair.
