Flashback : 7yrs.ago

I can do this. Go Aireen! Fighting!!! They're just a bunch of college kids. No need to get scared. 😊

She went inside the classroom and looked around. There are only twenty kids enrolled in her English Literature subject while only fourteen took up her dance class. Being a hired contractual teacher in this particular university had been her dream. She wants to impress the school's directors of her capabilities to teach and stay here for good that's why even if it's only for a semester, she accepted the contract. She was told that the former English and Dance teacher resigned for personal reasons.

" Ahem," she made a slight coughing sound to attract the attention of her students, seemingly there's still a few who haven't arrived yet. But she decided to begin according to the timetable given to her by faculty Dean. Opening up her attendance ledger, she began calling each students names alphabetically.

She was already halfway through her class when five more people loudly came in making a ruckus at back and disturbing class.

"Ahm, excuse me guys, are you somewhat lost?" Aireen asked the newcomers, placing her hands on her hips and tapping her left foot, a clear sign that shows she's annoyed at the disturbance caused by these impertinent kids.

"Whoa!!!, What do we have here? A new classmate??? Hey guys, you didn't give us a heads up that we'll have a transferee arriving today. Hi, I'm Andrei. The coolest handsome in this lot. And these are my friends, Louis, Kristian, Devon and of course my wingman Ervin.", the guy in blue jeans with a hoodie introduced himself and his gang smugly while taking in the beauty's sexy attire. Hmmm...this is interesting, our new professor have not yet arrived so she probably took over for him. Really beautiful, this feisty lady. Can't wait to devirginize her, Andrei thought to himself as he lustily look at the lady in her lovely green floral dress with her high heeled tapping foot and hands on hips looking at them annoyingly. He smirked at her and took a seat right in front of the room shoving the person out seated on it.

" Okay class, since our lesson's almost over and got distracted by Mr COOL and his gang over here we will continue this again tomorrow and don't forget to write a summary of the story My Protector by cclay2020, I'll be giving you a short quiz about it." Aireen dismissed the class right after she told the bunch of hoodie to stay behind and remain seated.

Ervin was shocked to hear the announcement, even him, mistook the girl standing at the front as their classmate. He felt admiration at how she handled Andrei's flirting. Instead of shouting or telling us to go out, she just stood there and calmly dismissed the class while announcing our homework and making sure we knew she's our professor. Wow!!! She's amazing.

"So, Mr. Romeo and his bunch of  pups, care to explain why you just barge in without knocking and disrupted my class after coming in late?" said Aireen, taking on the flustered faces of the guys seated  in front of her, yet avoiding eye contact on one particular boy seated at the far end of the room silently eyeing her. He's the only one who didn't join the ruckus his friends made. Only looked at her and sat down.

Why is he staring at me? Is there something wrong with my outfit? Aireen discreetly throw a glance at him only to catch him looking at her too. Focus Aireen, you need to reprimand these idiots. They need to know who's the boss inside this room.

"Well, I'm still waiting." she said in an authoritative voice making the other boys bow their heads in embarrassment except for the one who made loud and lewd noise earlier. Andrei? Was it? I'll show this kid what I'm capable of. Hmp!! We'll see.

End of flashback

She woke up with a jolt. She haven't thought nor dreamt about them for a long while. Why now???
Looking at the little boy sleeping soundlessly beside her, she touch the unruly sweat covered damp hair of her son and gave him a gentle peck on his forehead.

I better get ready for school, there's so much to be done before the upcoming family / fundraising activities next week, she mused.
She went out straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast and knock on the other room to wake her bestfriend / roommate. Mariane works at home as a wattpad author and online English / Korean tutor, which is a big plus for her since she won't need to hire a nanny for Jhayvee. His godmother Tita Mariane will take care of him while she works.
The dream pushed back from her mind she set everything up and get read for school.
