THE BEGINNING Chapter 19

Susan must have noticed me looking triggered. " What's wrong, weren't you blushing a few seconds ago?" she asked. I sighed, is she trying to tell the whole class I was blushing. I quickly told her "9 o'clock", that's the code for look left. I saw Susan trying to discreetly look left. When she saw Jungkook and Seojun sitting there she fell off her chair. "All okay back there" asked Mr. Jung. Susan was too embarrassed to say anything. I quickly piped up, "ya, she just thought she saw a spider". With that Mr. Jung continued his lecture. I heard some snickering. I turned to see Jungkook and Seojun who were trying to hold in their laughter. I shoot both of them death glares. I turn back to look at Susan who's bright as a tomato. I also couldn't help but smile a little when I saw how embarrassed she looked. I slowly bent my head down and whispered into her ear. "Look who's blushing now". "Oh shut up Nicole'' Susan whispered back. After that we turned our attention back to Mr. Jung and listened to the rest of his lecture. Mr. Jung's lecture about psychology ended after 1 hour. I can't lie, the topic was pretty interesting. Since it was the first day of class he did not assign any work or projects. Even though I like his class a lot, I was excited to go home. I energetically got up and put my laptop back in my bag. By the time I finished everyone left the class except Jungkook, Seojun and a few other students. I look over at Susan who fell asleep during half of Mr. Jung's lecture. I was about to wake her up when I heard Mr. Jung call out for Susan from in front of the class. Susan didn't hear him because she was still asleep. I nudged her shoulder a bit and she woke up. "When did I fall asleep?" Susan asked. I quickly responded back, "almost half way through the lecture". That's when Mr. Jung interrupted again. "Susan Joseph, please come to the front. I need to have a serious conversation with you". I turn to look at her. She had the same scared puppy face on again while she dragged her feet to the front of the class. "I'll take your stuff and wait for you outside the class, okay" I said out loud. When I glanced back at her she mouthed the words "D o n 't L e a v e M e ". I quickly started to say "actually i'll wait for you her...". Mr. Jung quickly interrupted me. "Thats a good idea Nicole. Gather susans belongings and wait outside of class. And for the rest of you. Leave the class". The remaining kids in class started to groan while exiting the class. I quickly gathered Susans belongings and walked down the aisle to the door. I turned around one last time and wished her luck before leaving the class.
