Professor F novel Chapter 8

With her eyes wide in shock, she glanced at Flynn. She didn’t expect he would be talking to her casually in public. She smiled slightly as she continued to clean the table.

Did he really just call me by my first name?

“G—Good morning, Professor.”

“Do you work full time here?” He continued to ask her.

“Oh, no. Just part time." She answered shortly.

"And if the school year starts?"

“I'll still work here. Part time."

He looked surprised and was about to ask her something when Gail approached them, smiling and bringing his order. "Venti triple tall, two-pump Caramel Brulée Latte for Professor Ferguson."

He nodded and took the cup. "Thanks."

"Enjoy your coffee." She whispered and left him with Gail who looked glad that she left.

She overheard his conversation with Gail, talking about the first time he'll stay at the shop to drink his coffee.

"Yeah. I’m early for my first class." Flynn answered in his usual formal tone. The smile he had talking to August disappeared.

She was busy throwing used tissues and plastic straws on the bin when Pam approached and asked her. "You know Professor?"

"What? Uh, yeah—sort of. He's or—he'll be my professor in my major." She tried her best not to mention that they're also neighbors.

"Whew! Good luck. I heard rumors about him being called Professor F." She whispered to her. "Because of the students getting an F mark."

She laughed nervously. "Rumors aren't always true, right?"

"You have a point. Looks like Gail is finally getting her chance to make her advances at him not that he decides to take a table. It’s obvious how much she likes the guy."

She looked at them and a hint of jealousy pained her heart, realizing his fans club must be a real thing!

"I think almost every girl in campus are head over heels with him.” August whispered as they both watch Gail still talking to Flynn.

"No. Count me out.” Pam points herself.

"Not your taste?"

"You know that thing about me being out of his league. He's too hot and handsome. I think he'd give me more headache than happiness." Pam exaggerated. “I mean, with all the girls admiring him, you know.”

Good for you. She thought smiled at Pam. ”Either that or you probably like someone else already." She only meant to tease her, not realizing she'd hit the nail in the head!

Pam’s eyes widened and blushed like a rotten tomato! "W—What?"
