It was forbidden for a professor and a student to be together, the truth sat like a stone in my stomach. If there was one genuinely honorable man I knew, it was Marshall. It was one of his qualities that endeared me to him, he wouldn't disregard the rules, they were in place for a reason. And I couldn't let him risk losing his job, the job that he loves so much because of me. Granted, he would quit after this semester was over but I knew he wanted to get back to teaching

at some point and I didn't want to be the reason he wouldn't get rehired as a professor.

I almost wished I was egotistical, I almost wished I could make myself keep him and persuade him

to keep me and we would be a secret, on one would ever know. I imagined telling him that but in

the end, I could never demand that of him. He had to choose it himself without me whispering in his ear. When Godwin squeezed my shoulder, I finally responded.

"I am fine." I replied.

I not listen to the girls as they introduced themselves, some more than I would have liked sounded flirtatious as they talked and their eyes only on him. Jealousy ran through my bloodstream and I wanted to tell them that he is mine, they couldn't have him. Of course did but I wanted to. My hands grew calm as the introduction moved further down the rows, closer to me. Marshall still hadn't seen me, as he politely gave his attention to the ones speaking. I was afraid of his reaction when his eye met mine, would he show me the same distant but polite attention as he had shown the others? Would his expression grow cold, knowing the inappropriate connection between him and his student? Or maybe he wouldn't look at me at all. Maybe he couldn't bear it just like I couldn't bear to watch him. Minutes trickled down until the next one to speak was a girl right behind me. I looked anywhere but at him, I was too much of a coward but I swore I could feel his eyes on me. My nerves came alive and the effect he always had on me was all the more present now that I was trying to ignore it. I squeezed my eyes shut as it came time for Godwin to introduce himself, knowing it was my turn after him. I couldn't do this, I couldn't f***ng do it. I didn't know how I would be able to meet his eyes, to see the emotions swirling in his beautiful orbits. My heart beat as fast I was afraid I would pass out and I could barely hear anything over the sound
