*All people in this fictional story are 18 or older*
It was my senior year in high school and I had really started to check out. I was 18 and had no idea what I wanted for my future. I didn't really care. I had lost any sense of self discipline.
Lately I was beginning to get closer to a girl in my class named Sasha. She sat near me and I often found myself very distracted talking to her during lectures trying to make her laugh. She was so bubbly and friendly I just couldn't help myself. This led to my professor Ms. Bauer reprimanding me on an almost daily basis.
Ms. Bauer was a young 29 year old professor, a smart woman with a crossfit figure and beautiful sun kissed skin. She had long silky brown hair she would keep up in a professional bun. Ms. Bauer would always wear a black business suit with a white shirt underneath it. Around her waist a black pencil skirt that showed off her shapely waist and legs. She must have been a runner with those firm toned legs. The only thing she would change were her shoes, but more often than not she wore black heel wedges.
She was always well mannered and respectful towards her students, but she had a cold demeanor about her that was unlike the other professors. It was hard to know what was going on inside her head. Students came to accept that was how she conducted herself. I was never interested in older women, but I have to admit I did fantasize about Ms. Bauer from time to time. Over time her cold professional demeanor began to crack as I constantly interrupted her class. Ms. Bauer never got upset about anything so the class knew I was seriously pushing her.
Today was like most days as I sat in class whispering to Sasha next to me. She giggled and I involuntarily let out a loud laugh myself. My eyes widen as I quickly realize what I've done and turn fearfully to Ms. Bauer.
I sheepishly plead.
"Im sorry Ms. Bauer I-"
Ms. Bauer slams her white board marker down and the room becomes silent. After a short pause lets out an exasperated sigh. Calmly she turns to look at me.
"Roland please stay after class today, I would like to talk to you."
She says in an unnervingly calm voice.
The class lets out a quiet "Ooooo" in unison as I shrink back into my chair.

As the school day finishes the students file out of the classroom. Left standing inside are myself and Ms. Bauer. She slowly walks to the door and closes it.
"Look I'm sorry Ms. Bauer. I just get excited and I end up talking to my friends during class. I promise it won't happen again."
I say to her as I watch her close the blinds on the windows. She stands with her back to me as silence hangs in the room.
"I think it's time we try something different Roland don't you?"
