@predictable_.

Professor Forrest Thomas had moved into town shortly before the beginning of the fall semester, typically looked at as the beginning of the school year. He left a very illustrious position in a high ranking university, almost in disgrace after what had happened with his ex-wife. Was this for the better for him? Only time would tell, but the change of scenery seemed to be what the soul ordered as he would take a deep breath of the fresh air that surrounded the campus, carrying his bag and box of starting equipment he would need for the beginning of the year. Smiling, he would walk into his lecture hall. This college had enough room to give him his own lecture room and office, which was unique for him now. He would walk into the room and it was almost antique in its presence. Even the smell of the old wood on the desks sent a shiver of passion over him. He looked up at the empty seats as he began to plug in his equipment for this year. It was going to be a good year... Had to be as he had no other choice.

Early August marked another semester at Springfield University, a campus where only exceptional students were allowed to attend. The possibilities were endless and ever since Elizabeth was entering her teen years, she was determined to be accepted into such a prestigious University. This was her second year attending Springfield, and she was more than determined to do well and succeed. Sure, she did quite well last year, but she always knew she could do better. Being that she was raised by a hard-working woman, she also grew up and followed her mother's footsteps. As Elizabeth entered the building doors along with plenty of other college students, a soft sigh escaped her lips. “Only two more years of this.” She muttered in an annoyed tone. She did love the college, it was just the people around that made it unbearable. “Only two.” Her friend, Amanda repeated. They shared a dorm, which was much cheaper than paying for your private dorm on campus. They quickly became great friends and often hung out with one another. “At least we’ll have a new professor this semester. I wonder what they're like. . I mean, anyone beats having Mrs. Greystone.” Amanda scoffed, nudging Elizabeth’s shoulder. “Whatever the case, I hope the rest of this year goes by fast.” Elizabeth quipped as they neared their Hall. By the time they’d even arrived, half of the lecture room was full of students. At least they weren’t late.

@jakeybean

Forrest would watch the lecture hall fill from the small little window in his office that was attached to the lecture hall. It was almost too clean, like someone was trying to impress him, but he had no idea why they would be doing that. He was almost disgraced when he left his previous position due to allegations that were false, but beyond his control to fight against. He did give a happy smile and sigh as he looked across the room. A group of maybe 20 to 30 people sat in the room, a lot less than his previous college where he would average around 2 to 3 hundred per lecture. He smiled as he would enter the room a couple of minutes after the scheduled start time and would give a soft introduction, "Good morning," he would say with a soft wave, his six foot, three inch frame covered by a nice brown sweater vest and grey slacks, a reddish tint to a dark beard sported under a pair of glasses that he really didn't need to use, but helped him at times, "Welcome, welcome, I hope you all have come excited, welcome to Creative Writing 201, my name is Professor Forrest Thomas and I could not be more thrilled to have you learning with me this year..."

22:47

@predictable_.

Elizabeth and her friend claimed seats in the second row, just close enough to the whiteboard. Being that her eye sight wasn’t the very best and she didn’t want to put a strain on her eyes trying to look from afar, she decided to settle with being on the second row. While they waited for their teacher to arrive, she grabbed a hold of her laptop out of her bag. She wore a jaded green ruffle trim ruched bust crop top and blue high rise jeans. For shoes, she wore simple white and black sneakers. Her hair was long and flowed freely. As she heard the sound of an unfamiliar voice, she was prompted to break her attention away from the opened laptop. Her eyes caught sight of the undeniably attractive older man, whom she had no choice but to assume was their professor. “Holy shit.” Amanda muttered under her breath, quickly readjusting her posture. It was obvious she’d also been taken aback by their new professor. Elizabeth rolled her eyes at her friend. “You truly have no filter.” Elizabeth chuckled softly, her eyes focused back on their professor as he further introduced himself. Maybe this year wouldn’t be so unbearable after all. “Do you blame me? He’s… smoking hot.” Amanda said in a low whisper. Unlike Elizabeth, Amanda was outgoing and very social. She wasn’t one to stray away from a crowd or miss out on parties. More often than not, she dragged Elizabeth along with her. @jakeybean (edited)

Forrest would give a moment of pause to allow the people who may be in the wrong class or the wrong course to exit as he would usually do, but it appears that the students at this college seem to be more in tune with their schedules than most of the other colleges he would have taught at. He smiled as he looked at the crowd in front of him. A good 25 people remained in the room as he would move to the podium that housed a small microphone and a Microsoft Surface, "Can you hear me alright...?" Static broke up the last bit of it as he looked down at the mic, turning it away and clicking a button on the side. "This might be better," he stated with a raised voice, "My job this year is to help you not only open your mind and let the creative juices flow from your mind to that keyboard or that piece of paper in front of you, but to also make sure that you are relaxed and confident enough to present that material to us. I will let you know that one of the finals of my year is to have you present a creative essay or story with the class. I won't make you get up in front of everyone and read it out, this is not public speaking, but I will have a website set up on the college's page where we will be submitting these stories. Other students will be ranking and rating your stories..." He would step outside of the podium for a moment, "This is not only to teach you the value of critics and judgement of your work," he said as he stepped in front of the desk in the room, "But, this will also teach you the value of presenting your work while knowing that you will be judged and you will be seen. We will make sure that each and every one of you present yourself the best way possible. I want to work with each of you individually throughout the year as much as you would like to make this happen."

01:35

@predictable_.

Elizabeth let out a sigh, resting the palm of her hand against her cheek as she leaned against the wooden surface. As he spoke, she drifted off into her own thoughts. She knew the routine; work well, pay attention and pass your classes. Honestly she didn’t know why she decided to pick this class of all things. Though, she needed to pick 6 classes to attend after all, and she had one free slot. “So, you aren’t going to work us to death on our first day back?” One of the male students in the back asked loudly, just enough to he heard. You’d think that if you willingly attended college, you’d be ready for any work thrown your way. @jakeybean

Forrest would give a smile laugh... "Contray to popular belief," he would begin to say as he jumped up, sitting on the desk behind him and speaking directly to the person asking the question, "I don't believe busy work is what makes someone better. It is passion on their work that I will involve. So, with that being said, I will dismiss you once this introduction is done and you can have the rest of the three hours of class time to do with what you please. However, starting Monday..." The college schedule here was weird with a two introduction period on a Thursday and Friday before the real week began, today was Friday, "We will begin to work on the first chapter of each of our creative writing selections. Your grade and if you pass or fail this class, will depend on how well you finish your stories and how often you work with your fellow students..." He smiled as he answered the question, "Is there any other questions?"

15:54

@predictable_.

Elizabeth, unlike one of her classmates raised her hand before allowed to speak. “And just how long do we have to complete each of these writing selections?” She asked out of pure curiosity. She knew not every professor was the same and had their own deadlines and expectations. (Sorry its short lol, just got home) @jakeybean

Forrest would turn back to her as well, "Fantastic question, Ms..." he smiled as he waited for her to answer and once she would say her name, "Elizabeth, I am glad you asked. When it comes to writing selections, subject, title, voice, concern, that is all up to you. That is the creative writing portion of the class. You could write a book of poetry, a book of essays, a book of nature findings or the next great American novel. Timeframes, that is where we will get muddy. I fully expect a concept and an inital chapter within the first two weeks of our class. After that, I will be meeting with each of you individually during class hours to go over findings."

16:12

(Length is always fine wherever you want it to be, friend) @predictable_.

“Elizabeth.” She said, a soft smile tugged at her lips. At least he was open to questions. She listened intently as he spoke, nodding her head once she understood. “Great. . Thank you.” After her question, there were bo more. It seemed everyone got the gist of what was to be expected in class within the next few weeks. @jakeybean

He would give a moment of silence before he looked over the crowd, he smiled, "If no other questions, enjoy the rest of your day and come prepared on Monday to begin writing..." With a smile, he looked down at the floor as he stood and walked behind the desk as the crowd began to exit, "If anyone has any further questions, my office door behind me is always open, feel free..."

16:20

@predictable_.

As they had finally been dismissed, students began grabbing their belongings and took their leave. Elizabeth packed her laptop back up, her friend gone on ahead. Since they had been given a few hours, might as well make the most of them until their next class began. “See you Monday, sir.” Elizabeth said as she neared the door. (We can ts if need be @jakeybean

"See you then as well, Ms. Elizabeth," he said with a smile as the room began to clear out except for a couple of students who had extra questions. --- Over the first couple of weeks of class, the writing had become almost a second form to some of the students, which he began to referring to as kids, "Alright, kids, listne up," he said with a smile as he turned from his desk at the front of the room and moving to the podium, "You all have been killing it. We have several people who are even chapters ahead of the class average! Amazing work, but I feel like I am needing to address something here..." His tone seemed to be more disciplined, more strict, "I have been seeing that some people have had similar wording to a certain A.I. friend that I have seen on the internet. Don't forget that I fact check everything against a bot that can detect A.I. written writing, make sure that is not you. Just as a matter of fact, I know who is doing this on a list. I will give you until the end of the week to correct this error, and if not corrected, we will be having a discussion. Understood?"

16:57

(Hopefully that was good.) @predictable_.

Over the first several weeks, classes were going well. She was passing every class, though she wasn’t yet satisfied with a particular class. That being her creative writing class. She was passing with a high C and was seeking to improve that grade of hers. It was hard to do much studying when she had both work and other classes to worry about, but in college there were no excuses for failing. “Yes sir.” She muttered. Elizabeth wasn’t one of the few who had been cheating and honestly it seemed like more of a hassle to cheat than to do the work yourself. Some people just didn’t care and did whatever they could to pass except learn. @jakeybean

"Great, glad we didn't have to have any additional discussion on that matter," he would say with a smile as he would move from the podium and back towards the seat, "So, today's agenda besides working on our writing, I have G through K to meet with today, so that means... Garcia, Goldberg, Green, Harold, Kelsey, Johnson, and Jefferson, I will be seeing you all in order I just listed. Garcia, you are up first. Come with me, if you would. The others, please be prepared when the others leave the room to join me in the office..."

21:47

@predictable_.

While the professor went about having students join him in the office, She busied herself, working on the next part of her writing. She never cared about writing stories or put much effort in them last year. Mainly because their professor hated her job and didn’t take time out of her day to grade their work appropriately. Hence why most of everyone passed. But this time around she realized she would have to work harder. She didn’t mind it, but it wasn’t what she expected. @jakeybean

As a girl with the last name of Goldberg would leave the office, she would announce that Elizabeth Green would be the next in line to meet with the professor. Pulling up her page on the Google Classroom that they had established for the class, he would read over what she had written so far, familiarizing himself with what she had written so far, but he had questions. He would wait until her arrival...

22:40

@predictable_.

Elizabeth looked up from her laptop after being heard her name called by a fellow student. “I’ll be right back.” She told Amanda as she removed herself from her seat and started for the professor’s office. So far, her story was about a princess’s mother- whom was a queen, and her most loyal servant that conspired against the princess with the intentions of murdering her after having found out the truth about her late father’s death. “Yes?” Elizabeth knocked on the open door twice before entering. @jakeybean

"Ms. Green," he said with a smile as he would stand to greet her, "Come, have a seat... I have been looking forward to speaking with you for two accounts..." Once he would shake her hanve and have her seated, he would look over at her, "I always feel like the first person to ask a question at the beginning of the year deserves attention as they are the one who wants to speak up and lead the charge, per say, when comes to what and what does not happen in a class. A class room leader if you will, but since that point, you seem to have been quiet more or less. Is everything in my class to your liking?"

23:06

@predictable_.

She shook his firm hand before sitting across from him, a spark of curiosity in her eye. She knew he was seeing a select few students today, but she wondered what all it is he desired to speak to her about. She herself needed to discuss her current grade in his classroom. “Well, your class is great. It’s just i’m not used to doing this type of work. I’ve taken this same class last year, but it was much different then with the teacher we had. The only thing i’m having trouble with is my grade. Unlike most, I cannot and will not be satisfied with passing with only a high C.” She relaxed her back against the seat, resting her leg over the other. “I wanted to know where i’m lacking and what it is I can do to improve.” @jakeybean

"I am glad to hear such a comment as I don't feel like you are deserving of a high C either," he would say he would sit back in his chair, ready to discuss this as well, "And I love that you are taking the innovative to want to take this grade serious as well. Working hard at something more. But, my main question has changed now..." He would reach down and take a sip of his coffee before returning back to her, "Why wait until now?"

23:38

@predictable_.

“Because, this was a convenient time to do so. I knew eventually you’d speak with me, so this seemed like the perfect time to discuss my grade.” She stated. It wasn’t until she was up close that she realized just how attractive he really was. His hair was a dark shade, while her own was a more noticeable shade of red. “What? Is suddenly now not a good time to do so?” She asked. @jakeybean

"No, no," he would give a soft chuckle, "But, just taking a guess, I thought you would be the kind that would jump at the opportunity as soon as you felt like your grade was not good enough." He would move forward a little bit, letting his hands rest on the laptop in front of him, pulling up her pages, "Nevertheless, you are here and this would be an amazing time to talk and get to know the real Elizabeth Green and what she wants out of this class, as well as her grade. So, first off, tell me why you wrote what you have wrote so far? Not a plot or the story, but why you wanted to write this?"

23:10

@predictable_.

She shrugged her shoulders lightly. There wasn’t anything special about the story she came up on the get-go. It just seemed like something that wound be interesting to a reader, and well she wanted to write a story she wouldn’t be completely bored with. “There’s no special inspiration behind me doing this story if that’s what you mean.” Unlike most students she wasn’t just going to sugarcoat things. “I just wanted to write something that would potentially catch a reader’s attention. @jakeybean

"You see, I think that is it," he would say, pointing up as if emphasing a point, "There doesn't seem to be any passion, inspiration, or pleasure in your writing. Just something that could catch an eye. Let me show you this..." He would click on a new tab of his web browser, pulling up an Amazon storefront. He would type in 'the classic adventures of Sally Jane,' a adventure novel that is written by an artist named James McDonald. "I am close personal friends with James McDonald," he would say as he would pull up a second tab, 'Worlds Warring' was the next thing he searched by James McDonald, however Worlds Warring would be something that Elizabeth would hear about because it is coming to theaters very soon as a movie, "He wrote both series here. Which one do you think that he was doing to catch someones attention, and which one was a passion project?"

23:34

@predictable_.

“I don’t know what you want me to do. Frankly, I’m not too interested in writing a story. If I wanted to be a author or any of the sort, then maybe so.” She let out a soft sigh, watching as the professor searched the web. “Close friends, huh?” She couldn’t believe that. The man was well known for his books, though he wasn’t her ideal go-to when it came to reading. She preferred someone more like Ana Huang. “I don’t know, maybe the movie.” If it didn’t catch anyone’s attention then it wouldn’t be in the works of becoming a movie. “The book was the passion project.” She didn’t understand what any of this had to do with her. “But what does that have to do with anything? You’re really confusing me, sir.” @jakeybean (edited)

"Then why did you happen to take this class, Ms. Green?" Forrest would ask, he was almost offended that she would take this class and not want to be a writer of some kind, "Is this just a blow off class for people?" He would sigh when he asked what this had to do with her, "I know there is more creativity in that mind of yours than what you are putting out..." he would explain as he sat up in his chair, "However, you give me the word, if you just wanna get a C and pass the class with an average grade, I can give that to you right now. But, if you want to great something that you will be proud of, like Mr. McDonald did, then I can help you. But, if you are happier just taking your 'movie check' and running off into the sunset, I can't stop you there. I see potential in you, Elizabeth. I really do... But, I fear that you don't see the same potential."

21:57

@predictable_.

It truly was a blow off class for most, but she didn’t want to make her professor dislike her by saying yes. “I don’t know… It seemed interesting, I guess.” It was the only class that *wasn’t completely full to the brim, so of course she had no other choice but to attend this one. She sighed softly, folding her arms against her chest as she leaned back in her seat. It was obvious this professor wasn’t going to be an easy one to crack and just give her what she wanted. “That’s what every teacher says.” They believed all their kids had potential, most of the time it wasn’t true. “Fine, I guess i’ll put some effort into writing a story people will like.” She could care less about being a writer or even publishing her own book. She wanted to be a nurse, nothing less or more than that. “I don’t want a high C, I want better than that.” She stated in a serious tone. “So i’ll do what you want and write your story. That’s all for now.” @jakeybean

"It doesn't even have to be a story, Elizabeth," Forrest would say, "Hell, we don't have to publish anything. I just want you to write something truly from your heart. Not something that you think I might like. I want to read your words on paper and be moved..." He would let the words cut off in the moment, "I thank you for being honest with me, I hate those people who want to blow smoke up my ass for no reason," a little bit of a Southern accent escaping his lips, "Feel free to ask any questions or stop by my office anytime, I am usually here until 7pm most days..."

09:21

@predictable_.

Elizabeth didn’t know what it is she desired to write form her heart. Her life wasn’t very lively or interesting like other people. She wasn’t interested in many things, nor was her attention easily captured. Elizabeth chuckled softly, not expecting to hear her professor curse. She even heard a bit of accent popping out. “You’ll have to get used to it around here, sir.” Elizabeth said as she saw to removing herself from her seat. “Alright, see you then.” @jakeybean

At the end of the same day, Forrest would find himself in a bit ofa lull, he didn't have anything to do in the office and no desire to go back to his empty apartment, what was one to do...? He sighed as he stood up from his office chair, tucking in his equipment into his bag, locking the office and lecture hall behind him as he would leave out on an adventure of sorts. A small one at least to the local coffee shop. A small coffee shop near the library seemed to be a general hangout for anyone looking to get that last bit of college work done, but other than seemed to be empty most often and how he needed a coffee right now... Stepping down the sidewalks of the campus, he would take in the sights and sounds around him before finally making it to the coffee shop itself. Stepping up to the counter to order a black coffee, something that seemed to be unusual around her.

11:59

@predictable_.

After her classes, she stopped by her dorm to shower and change into something much more comfortable; a yellow crop-top with blue jeggings. Elizabeth always wanted to look presentable when going out, even if it were just a quick stop to the store. She always enjoyed dressing up and doing make-up. Maybe it was the kid in her that enjoyed these things. Her friend Amanda was still busy with classes so she wouldn’t be back til’ later. Being the great friend Elizabeth was, she would stop by their local coffee shop and grab the both of them something nice. Since the shop was only right around the corner, she settled for just walking there. With her purse and phone in hand she took her leave. As she entered the shop, she could smell the familiar aroma. The smell of fresh coffee beans, cinnamon and spice. She enjoyed stopping by the shop from time to time, often when she wanted to study or just have some relaxation time to herself.

12:54

@jakeybean

Forrest would be waiting in line at the coffee shop, looking down at his phone as he did, when he heard the soft voice that was familiar to him. Looking up, he would see Elizabeth Green from his creative writing class. He would look back down at his phone for the moment, seeing that the clock would read 5:25pm before he would hear, "Forrest!" being called out from the counter, he would walk up and grab his coffee, "Howdy, Ms. Green."

06:35

@predictable_.

Elizabeth stood in line behind another, her eyes fixated on her phone while the people ahead of her went on and ordered. It wasn’t long before she noticed the familiar looking red-haired man walking ahead of her. Hearing a name being called by the employee, she quickly realized it was her professor. “Oh, hello Mr. Thomas… I didn’t expect to see you here.” She said, obviously surprised. She wasn’t one to make conversation with professors (unless need be that is), especially outside of classes. @jakeybean

As he would shake his coffee cup, "Needed a little bit of late evening jitter juice, long night, I reckon," that could be interpreted several different ways, but he honestly hoped that she would not realized in what way he truly meant, "Hope you are having a good night though..." He would start to walk away, but something in him stopped him, could have been the idea of the searing loneliness that was ahead of him, or the idea of just getting to know one of his students a little better, but he stopped himself. "You busy?"

22:04

@predictable_.

She raised a curious eyebrow. Just whatever could he mean by that? She didn’t see any ring on his finger, but nor did she want to assume. As her name had been called, she went on ahead and grabbed her cup of coffee and light snack; a delicious and soft baked chocolate muffin. “I see… Well it was nice to see you.” She smiled softly. “Ah, well no actually. I’m quite free. Why?” @jakeybean

"Umm, this is going to sound weird and feel free to say no," he would say with a smile and a sip of the coffee, "But, I haven't found my way around the campus and there is plenty of sun left. I was wondering, if you would like to show me around a little bit. You see to be the only student that I have had a genuine interaction with so far, so I trust your opinion and guidance."

15:04

@predictable_.

Elizabeth didn’t find the question to be weird, but she was found it pretty hilarious that he still hadn’t been given a tour around the college. “Really? Well, sure. I’m free to do so.” The woman replied as she took a sip of her coffee. The only thing she hoped was that no one had any odd assumptions about she and her professor. Believe it or not, relations with students was quite common in college. It was frowned down upon of course and many professors were fired once found out. “Shall we get going then?” @jakeybean

"Sure, I am right behind you," he said with a smile as he would sling his pack over his shoulder so he would have his arm completely free, "Do you mind if I ask questions as well? I mean, you might not have the answer, but I like to ask..."

15:23

@predictable_.

“I don’t mind.” She shrugged. It did feel a bit weird to be showing her professor around the school. Not only that but never did she expect to see him out and public, and visiting her favorite coffee shop at that. The walk back to the campus was a little short ways, but it felt long with the defeating silence between them. “So, have you ever taught before?” She questioned. @jakeybean

"Umm, I have," Forrest would answer, "I actually come from an Ivy league school..." He didn't want to give her too much information in the moment as that would kill the vibe of everything he felt. But, he sighed as he looked over at her, "This area is lovely. Are you originally from here or just here for school?"

15:35

@predictable_.

“Oh, really? That’s neat.” She wondered why he transferred, but she didn’t want to press her nose to far into his business. “Well, originally I was born in Ireland but moved to America when I was 5. So I guess I could say, no. But this is where I spent most of my years.” She shrugged her shoulders, bringing her cup of coffee back up to her lips for another sip. @jakeybean

"Wow," Forrest would say as he continued to follow her, "Irish born parents as well?" His interest in her would almost pick up immediately looking at her. Almost as if she confirmed her looks in his eyes, the red hair and such.

15:41

@predictable_.

“Yes, both are Irish.” Though she didn’t have much of an accent, so it wasn’t quite noticeable at first. “What about you? I mean, I can tell you have a bit of an accent.” She grinned. They were now entering the campus through the front doors, greeted by a case of showcased trophies over the several years. Next to that was a door that lead to the office. @jakeybean

"I... ha..." he would give a soft laugh, "I am actually from a small Appalachain mountain town in Kentucky. Humble beginnings..." He gave her a soft smile, "Look at all those trophies, this school didn't seemed renowned for sports or anything. Are those awards for something else?

16:13

@predictable_.

“Really? So far away.” She commented, rather surprised. “It must have been nice though, I assume.” She didn’t have too much of a childhood of her own. No siblings, hardly any friends, and she spent most of her time excelling in school. “Honestly, I am not too sure.” She chuckled. “Despite this being my second year, I never took a second to even look over the trophies.” She shrugged. “I assume there’s plenty of sport trophies though, I wouldn’t put it past them.” @jakeybean

"Umm, might have to look into that," he said as he would motion for her to go ahead and lead on, "You are quite the tour guide, thank you for this again..." He would look over at the girl, "Tell me more about you though? Why did your family come here?"

08:51

@predictable_.

“Your welcome. I really don’t mind it honestly.” She showed him to several more areas, like the cafeteria, gym, stadium, and several other places he might have not visited yet. “For better opportunities, I guess. My dad convinced my mom to move to America with him and well, here we are.” She decided to leave out the depressing parts. She didn’t want to ruin the mood. “Why did you move down here?” @jakeybean

"That would be a long story," Forrest would say with a smile, putting a hand through his salt and pepper hair for a moment, "Longer than you might have..." He looked down the corridor in front of them, "I hear that this school has an amazing library, is that correct?"

08:35

@predictable_.

She smiled softly after a chuckle escaped her lips. “I’d assume so.” Considering he was probably much older than her and all. “Ah, right! Yes, the library is quite amazing.” She had forgotten all about showing it to him, so of course that was their next destination. The library was unlike any other. . The roof was decorated in many odd and interesting paintings. Each told a different story. But that wasn’t even the best part. “I’m surprised you haven’t seen it yet.” @jakeybean

Image attachment

"I haven't," he said with a smile, taking in the surrounding scenes, something that he was just in awe of, "I have yet to be able to get out of my office or apartment." That was a small lie, as he had time, just not the motivation too. He smiled up at her, "It is so calm in here..."

09:31

@predictable_.

“It totally is. Sometimes I stop by here and pick up a book to read. Most of the time I order them online.” She shrugged her shoulders. The library didn’t hold any of her favorite Author’s books, which is why she bought online or visited a public library. “So, just how old are you? If you’re comfortable answering.” She knew the man had to be at least in hid mid thirties or early forties. @jakeybean

Forrest would give a soft smile and a sigh, before looking back up at her, "I hit the big 4-0 this year," he said with bit of a face, "I know, old man right, but seems like I am young compared to most of the professors here..." He would take the final sip of his coffee, looking to find a trash can where he could toss it as he would ask another question, "You say they don't carry your favorite books, what do you like to read, Ms. Green?"

01:38

@predictable_.

“Oh wow.” He looked amazing for 40. Honestly, she had her bet placed that he was in his mid thirties. She stole a glance of him. He did look rather mature, which of course she’d assumed. Elizabeth shrugged, taking a sip of her coffee. Ana Huang was a romance author, her books mainly captured the audience of young women. She knew Professor Thomas probably wouldn’t have any idea who the woman was, or her amazing work. “Well, I’d only gotten into reading about a year ago. . And well, I mainly only read Ana Huang books, and books related to hers. Just romance and drama, stuff like that.” @jakeybean (edited)

"Is there something a-matter with me being forty?" He would ask with a giggle, "But, yeah, I agree... Age snuck up on me..." He would listen to her describe her favorite author and he had a light bulb click, "Ah, Ana Huang, so you are a fan of smutter books?"

13:06

@predictable_.

"No, not at all. Actually, you look pretty good for your age." Elizabeth complimented, followed by a soft chuckle of hers. "What? I mean-" She didn't expect him of all people to know who she was. She felt her cheeks redden in complete and utter embarrassment. "Her books have great plot is all. What? do you read her books?" @jakeybean

"I have read a couple, yes," Forrest would say with a smile, "I hate saying it because everyone wants to be that guy when it comes to books, but I legit don't watch television or do anything streaming. I read. Sometimes you need a little bit of spice in your life, right? I get it. The smutty books do help give the mind a fantasy to work within..." He looked over at her, "And thanks for calling me attractive," he would give her a soft nod, "It is definitely a morale booster..."

13:32

@predictable_.

She was surprised. Elizabeth didn't think that Ana Huang's books could attract older audiences, but honestly it was kind of cool. "Yeah, I agree." She chuckled and rolled her eyes. "I said you looked good for you age, but percieve it how you'd like." She laughed softly. @jakeybean

"I definitely will because that confidence boost is definitely needed," he would smile as his hand ran through his hair again, maybe a nervous tick of his, "Do you feel like that would be something that you would like to write in the future? I know we talked about it, but in a non-professor setting, what do you wanna do?"

04:42

@predictable_.

She chuckled softly. “Oh, definitely not.” She replied almost instantly. “I’m studying to be a nurse, but I still haven’t thought up what i’ll write about. I haven’t had any motivation yet, unsurprisingly.” She scoffed. “But I’ll figure it out soon.” She always did. “So, are you married?” The man was quite attractive, so she’d at least assume he had a girlfriend… Or boyfriend. @jakeybean

"I am not," he said with a smile, "Single would be the word, I would say..." He left it vague, no need to go out on a whim and let them know your full story, he would think to himself, besides, it would just depress them.

07:44

@predictable_.

“Oh, that’s surprising. Nowadays, it’s like every professor is married.” And she definitely wasn’t exaggerating. “Well, if not married i’m going to assume divorced.” She took a final sip of her coffee before throwing it away in a nearby trash can. @jakeybean

"Bingo..." he would say with a smile, "But, it has been sometime since the divorce..." He didn't know why he felt he needed to add that last part, she didn't care in the slightest when it come to him, "One of the reasons I moved to this college, kind of a fresh start on things, you know?"

08:29

@predictable_.

"Yeah, I get it. Fresh starts are a necessity in life." Elizabeth commented. "No children?" At his age, many already had children of their own. "Sorry if i'm asking too many personal questions." She tended to do so without even realizing it. @jakeybean

"No children," he said with a smile, genuinely enjoying the questions, "And no, ask all the questions you like, it is nice having someone take an interest in me. I just never wanted kids when younger, just wasn't my thing. Sure, maybe in a few years if I find the right person, but who knows if that will ever happen..." @predictable_.

"I get it. Children are definitely a huge responsibility. I myself don't want to have children anytime soon at least. Maybe in the future." She stated, taking a seat at one of the nearby tables. The library was quiet and a perfect place to relax. @jakeybean

He would join her in comfort on the couch as he looked over at the girl, "You are a very smart young girl," he would say about her comments regarding children, "Some people are just flying by the seat of their pants in life, you seem like you have your priorities straight... Good girl!" He would sit back in his chair and look around for a moment, "So, why here? I am sure you could have gone somewhere huge..."

09:55

@predictable_.

Elizabeth didn’t know why she enjoyed hearing those words- good girl. Maybe it was the fact that she enjoyed such praises. . Probably a bit too much. “Aha, yeah. College guys are like dogs in heat. . And some of the ladies too.” She shook her head. It was a surprise no one got knocked up yet. “I’ve always wanted to attend this University since I was young. And well, it wasn’t extremely expensive like most.” @jakeybean

"Since you were young?" he would ask with a smile as he looked over at her, "How long have you been in college, you are not more than 21?"

10:10

@predictable_.

“I’m 19, and this is my second year here.” She replied. “Young as in pre-teen young.” She corrected herself. @jakeybean

"Oh, so you meant this area or the school?" His immediate interest in her grew immensely as he would lean on the table, admiring her as he would await her answer... @predictable_.

“The school. If I had a choice, I’d be living in London. The sights are beautiful, and well their people are honestly a bit more tame.” She chuckled softly. @jakeybean

"Ah, we must discuss London sometime, but right now," he said with a smile, "Tell me more, you have been attending this college since you were a pre-teen?"

10:24

@predictable_.

“What? Oh no, no.” She laughed softly. “I’ve been wanting to go to this college since a pre-teen is all. I heard great things about it, and well I had more of a chance at getting in here than Harvard or Yale.” @jakeybean

"Oh, I misunderstood then," he said with a smile, "Why do you not think you had a chance of getting into Harvard or Yale?" @predictable_.

“There’s a very low chance you can get into either of those, and well I didn’t hear too many good things about them anyways. If I wanted to get into either, I could if I put in the work.” She shrugged. @jakeybean

Forrest would frown softly, "It sounds like that is something that is common, not to offend or anything, but seems like you are just wanting to do enough to pass and be done... Nothing wrong with that, though..."

10:57

@predictable_.

“If that was the case, I wouldn’t be here. I would have settled for a minimum wage job and working a 9-5. But no.” She scoffed. “But anyways, enough about me then.” @jakeybean

He would recoil for a moment, feeling that he might have crossed a line, but Forrest would smile, "Tell me what you want to know about me then?" @predictable_.

“I don’t know. Tell me what it is there to know about you. Do you write books?” She assumed so, especially being the class he taught and how passionate he was about it. @jakeybean

"Ah, yes, I have..." he would give a soft grin, "Do English text books for high schoolers and lecture articles count for the total?" @predictable_.

She shrugged. “I suppose it does. Anyways, have you ever thought of publishing an actual book? I’d want to see some of your writings one day.” She chuckled, soon pulling out her phone to check the time. It was almost 6. (edited)

18:40

@jakeybean

"Oh, I have several that have been published, just nothing I would consider a best seller..." he smiled as he watched her pull out her phone, "Oh shit, I am so sorry, you had something to do, didn't you? I didn't mean to keep you from that..."

04:21

@predictable_.

“Really? I’d like to read one of your books sometime.” She stated. “Oh, no. It’s just that my friend and I planned to go out once she finished with classes. I was just checking the time.” She assured. “Do you not have anywhere to be?” @jakeybean

"Professor on a school campus, not married, just moved in," he would laugh, "No, I have nowhere to be other than my office..." He couldn't help the small smirk that crossed his face, "My books, they are... fantasy like. Think Lord of the Rings and Dungeons and Dragons..."

04:46

@predictable_.

“Tinder is a good place to start, lots of women there. Or men, if that’s your cup of tea.” Elizabeth said with a grin. It was a bit odd that she could talk to a professor like this. He wasn’t so stuck up like most. “Never read or watched either.” She admitted. @jakeybean

"Ah, might not be your cup of tea then," Forrest would say, "But feel free to look up 'The Lost Rings of Falkrun...' that is the one that sold the best and the beginner of a small series that I wrote. I think it is on Amazon and their Kindle thing." He looked over at her, "I will definitely take your advice on that, but it seems that alot of younger girls around here. I am sure none of them want anything to do with an old professor..."

07:51

@predictable_.

“Oh, so you’re into young women, huh?” She pointed out after his statement. She could have guessed. Lots of men were into younger women. “I could have guessed.” “Anyways, I’m going to go ahead and head back to my dorm. I have to get ready for the night.” @jakeybean

"Ah, it is not that I am or am not into them, they just seem to be more here than older women looking, everyone here seems... settled." As she would mention that she would need to go, he smiled and gave her a nod, "Understandable, thank you for your time today and the tour. Enjoy your night..."

05:58

@predictable_.

“Hm, yeah. I do get that, but you aren’t the only older person that hasn’t settled down. Like I said, tinder is a great place to start. Just beware of creeps; theirs plenty of those. Elizabeth stated as she removed herself from the seat. “No problem, and you too!” @jakeybean

Forrest would give her a soft smile as she exited the table and the area... Elizabeth Green was an interesting one and he felt a sort of connection with her as he would watch her walking away. Just finding out the little bit about her, he wanted to know more, but a comment that stuck in his mind was that he wasn't the only older person that hadn't settled down, was this a sign of something or just a random comment? He would give a soft smirk as he would pull out his phone, pulling up the app store and begin to download Tinder as proposed and began to make a profile.

06:55

@predictable_.

Elizabeth had plenty of experience with the app tinder, especially being it was the app she used when she wanted a quick hookup. The last thing she wanted was to sleep with any college men, and well most of the time they weren’t mature for their age. Pulling her phone out of her pocket, she sent Amanda a message. On my way to the dorm. Are you dressed already? Minutes later she received a reply.

Girl, hell yes. I couldn’t wait to get out of Dingles class. He’s an annoying ass teacher nonetheless. Hurry up, i’m trying to get laid.

Amanda was obviously the one without any filter, or she was just super comfortable around Elizabeth. Chuckling softly at her message, Elizabeth put her phone away and continued her way off of campus. (Timeskip? @jakeybean

(Timeskip!) Forrest had made his account and been scrolling on it throughout the night. He went ahead and dropped the payment for gold, just so he could see who would like him as well, skip the middle man. He looked through all the girls, even moving the age range from 18 to 60s, just to keep his options open. Companionship is something that he desperately needed, but something he could live without if he did not find someone attractive. He sat in his small apartment, alone, just sitting back on the couch. His mind would drift off to Elizabeth and what her night would entail and how he would wish to be in her spot again.

03:50

@predictable_.

The night Elizabeth and Amanda went out to enjoy themselves . Austin, a student at their college hosted a party at his grandparents house. Of course they weren’t home or else all hell would have broken loose. Though she disliked parties she still tagged along with Amanda to keep an eye on her. Nowadays you couldn’t even trust someone around your drink. She had to be the sober one amongst them, or who knows what would happen. Around 2AM that night, she headed back to her dorm. Amanda ended up tagging along with some dude and headed back to his. She was glad she at least had it to herself for the rest of the night. After changing into a nightgown, soon she was off to bed. @jakeybean

Forrest would be deep into the night, he had put his phone for a little while and was reading a little bit before he decided to check back on the Tinder app. He hadn't got any hits as of yet, but he would smile as he seen some names pop up that he had not seen yet. He would begin to scroll until... The selfie of Elizabeth Green would pop up... "Haha, Ms. Green, of course," Forrest would put his hand on his head, "That is the reason you suggested, you use it..." He didn't think it was for him at all, but he found a chuckle at the response. Not paying attention, he would swipe right, adding a like to Elizabeth... "Shit," he would exclaim as he would try to go back, but the phone would glitch and the application would go away, "Fuck..."

06:44

@predictable_.

Next Wednesday morning, Elizabeth had awoken early to get her day started. Even being she went to sleep late last night, she was still on top of her priorities. And that being school. Grabbing her clothes to wear, she headed down to the washroom so she could shower and change. It was 7 AM and classes didn’t start till around 9. Amanda probably wouldn’t make it back to the dorm until 8. Now wearing a long-sleeved white t-shirt with a deep cut, along with blue jeans and white high-tops. She let her hair flow free, brushing it down. Elizabeth returned to her dorm to grab her purse and phone. She planned on stopping by the coffee shop so she could have her early morning of caffeine. @jakeybean

The next morning, Forrest had not heard back from Elizabeth or seen that she had returned the favor of the swipe, so he chalked it up to error or glitch. Either one of them, he was thankful for. Enjoying the buzz that he would get from the coffee, he would stop by the coffee shop that he visited when he met Elizabeth to get his morning started. He would pull in to the campus parking lot nearest the hall and begin his walk over to the coffee shop from there. Once there, he would order his black coffee to go, but with a dash of milk and vanilla this time. A little flavor for the day.

07:49

@predictable_.

Ordering her coffee and breakfast, she took a seat at one of the tables. Class started in about 45 minutes so she had some time to relax before then. Taking a sip of her coffee she pulled out her phone snd checked her notifications. She’d seen that she had a few swipes on tinder, but never cared to check who they were. Honestly the only time she went on tinder was when she needed a hook-up.

Forrest would grab his coffee from the barista and turn to see Elizabeth sitting at a table nearby. "Hello, ma'am," Forrest would greet her, ignoring the pit in his stomach that opened on seeing her, hopefully a friendly reaction would mean that she had not seen the notification or, even better, it did not go through, "Hope you are doing well today!

08:56

@predictable_.

Elizabeth was caught off guard by the sound of her professors voice approaching from behind. “Oh hello, sir. Yes, i’m doing well.” She replied with a kind smile. “Heading in to work now?” Professors always were there first before the students needed to start hearing to their classes. They did need to get things ready after all. @jakeybean

"Definitely am, long day today, like three or four classes," Forrest would say, "Hope your day goes as well as you look! See ya later!" He couldn't help his flirty nature, once he got to know someone, it just seemed natural...

14:35

@predictable_.

“Uh, yeah. . See you later.” She did find it a little odd at his last comment. But she brushed it off and returned to what she’d been doing. Elizabeth called Amanda’s phone to make sure she was up and getting ready for classes. Luckily Amanda wasn’t as irresponsible as you’d think. After she finished her coffee and cinnamon roll, she headed back to campus so she could be on time for class. @jakeybean
