Chapter 5: Today's Not A Good Day...


After being humiliated by Dr. Queen, I ran straight to the Admissions office. I had to drop out from that class. Who was he to call me a slut... NO ONE that is! He doesn't know me!

I reached the front desk and waited to speak to someone.

"Hello, may I help you?" a lady who looked in her mid 50's asked with a smile.

"Hi, yes. I was wondering if I could drop one of my classes?" I asked hopeful.

"Your name and reason for dropping it?"

"Serene Quinones and... let's just say that someone was harassing me there." I tell her and she just gave me a surprised look.

"Alright. By whom?" she asked.

I thought about it for a second... CRAP! I don't want to get Colin in trouble even though I don't like him. He's annoying but I can handle him. Dr. Queen in other hand?

"I don't know their name." I lied making her raise her eyebrow.

She went to her computer and typed a few things asking me which class I wanted to drop.

A few minutes later I heard footsteps behind me indicating someone has come in to the office.

From the corner of my eye I see someone standing next to me making me glance over to them.

My eyes almost bugged out. WHY ME?

"Ms. Quinones." Dr. Queen said in a monotone voice.

"D-Dr. Q-ueen." I stuttered.

He raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the lady who was helping me. "Mrs. Ford. How are you doing today?"

Of course he knows her.

"Oh Dr. Queen, I'm fine, just very busy today. How have you been?" she asked all giddy.

"Better now that I'm in your presence." he smiled at her making the lady giggle. SERIOUSLY?

"Oh Dr. Queen... such a charmer."

"Only in the presence of a lady." he responded then looked at me.

I cleared my throat and faced Mrs. Ford.

"Okay Ms. Quinones, I pulled out your schedule and it seems like the class you want to drop is Dr. Queen's?" she said glancing at me and then him.

Can my day get any worse? "Yes." I mumbled avoiding his stare.

"Ms. Quinones, is it true? You want to drop my class... already? May I ask why?" he asked like he didn't know.

"She says that someone was harassing her there."

"Oh really? May I ask who?" sounding concerned like he didn't know he's the reason why.

"She said she didn't know their name." Mrs. Ford responded. Can she let me speak?

"Hmm. I wish you would have said something to me after class so I would have been aware of the situation so I could stop it." he tells me.

"I'm sure you would try." I retorted trying to keep my anger in check.

"You know Ms. Quinones, I am your Professor which means it's my job to help and to protect my students. So if anyone is harassing you, I would like to know so I can help, and also because you can't drop my class."

"I- I can't... why not?" I ask.

"Because Ms. Quinones. It's a requirement to Graduate. So that means you have to complete it and pass it." he said with a smirk. Sneaky isn't he?

"Ms. Quinones, I would advice you to take Dr. Queen's help and wait until he can figure out what is going on in the class. Once he finds out who is harassing you, he can put a stop to it or take greater measures." Mrs. Ford tells me sympathetically.

I sigh deeply and nod my head. "Alright, I guess I have no choice but to stay in the class. I do have to say... that I will not be pushed around and be disrespected by this... this person." I squint my eyes in anger towards Dr. Queen who grins back.

"Thank you Mrs. Ford." I tell her and face him again "Dr. Queen." turning on my heels and leaving the office flushed. Why is this happening to me. First Colin and now my Professor.

I was about to walk down the hallway until I hear my name being called out. Turning around I bump into a chest which makes me back away.

"Is there something I can help you with Dr. Queen?" I say through gritted teeth.

"As a matter of fact... yes." he says with a serious tone in his voice.

I wait for him to continue speaking but he takes a step closer to me and leans down inches from my ear.

"You can take my advice from earlier... you seem like a good girl and I would hate to see your reputation be ruined by these pathetic boys in this campus. You will stay in my class and learn everything I have to teach... or you will suffer the consequences later." and with that he walked away leaving me with my mouth opened in the middle of the hallway. WTH?

After my eventful first day I went to work at the Cafe for a few hours. It was now 9 pm and Julian had dropped me off at home. Veronica had some hot date tonight with some Doctor she met while working so she couldn't pick me up. It was a last minute thing since he was available. I hope she's having a good time.

Once I'm home, I take my clothes off and take a nice hot shower. It was much needed after the day I had.

After I was done I put on my comfortable pajama shorts and tank top then lay down so I can read one of my assignments for class. Tomorrow I have another three classes and I want to make sure I am ahead of my work.

Some time in the middle of the night I wake up. I look at my phone and read it was one in the morning.

"I must of dozed off while reading." I sit up closing my book and get up to put it on my desk. I was thirsty so I decided to head down to the kitchen to get a drink of water.

Once in the hallway I could swear I hear moaning coming down from Veronica's room. Please don't tell me she is having sex with this guy? Eww! My virgin ears!

I tip toe to her door and cup my ear to listen. Yeap, she's having sex alright. Damn she's a bit loud. Does she not realize I'm down the hallway? I'm so going to embarrass her later.

Shaking my head I continue down the stairs to the kitchen. I grab a glass for my water and head back upstairs trying so hard not to hear the moans coming out of her room. I swear she should have put a sock or something on her doorknob so I know she has someone over.

Back in my room I finish drinking my water and set the empty glass on my nightstand. I settle under my covers and let my eyes close taking me to a slumber. I only Pray that I don't have any nightmares tonight.

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

The sun peaking through the shades of my window slowly wakes me up. I stretch my body to wake up and check the time. 7:20am. I must of been tired. I'm so glad my first class doesn't start until 10 am. It gives me time to get ready and eat breakfast without having to hurry.

I decided to head downstairs to make breakfast for Veronica. Least I can do. I'm sure she built up her appetite from last night.

Fifteen minutes later I'm making pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs. One of my favorite breakfast meals. Coffee is ready and table is set, all that's missing is Veronica.

Once I hear footsteps going down the stairs I call out. "Roni, breakfast is ready! I'm sure you have an appetite after what I heard last night. You have some explaining to do." I laugh.

She doesn't say anything until I hear a deep voice say "I don't know about her, but I'm starving. If you are included in the menu, then I know my appetite will be satisfied."

I jumped at the sound of the voice turning around quickly. Please, please, please...

"Wh- what are you doing here?" I stutter, it is too early in the morning for surprises. Dear lord, why is my Professor standing in my kitchen? Did I do something wrong?

"Good morning to you too Ms. Quinones. My, you sure look... different." he said looking me up and down as if eyeing his meal.

I move my hands to try and cover myself a bit which of course wasn't going to work. So I snapped at him. "I am home... this is how I usually dress for bed. Turn around if you feel awkward."

He chuckled moving slowly closer to me "Who says it's an awkward moment? I actually like the view. Too bad I can't see you dressed like that all the time... but... I would prefer for it you to have less...fabric!" he says whispering in my ear making me shiver.

Backing away I glared at him. Didn't he have sex with my cousin last night and he's making a pass at me? Who's the slut now?

"There you are. I got out of the shower and you weren't in the room. I thought you left without saying goodbye. Good morning Serene." I hear Roni's voice from behind us.

With a smile he turned around "I wouldn't leave without a goodbye. I'm not that type of man." he tells her walking towards her and kissing her cheek. Ugh... what a jerk.

"That's good to know. I see you've met my cousin Serene? Serene this is Dr. Step-"

I cut her off "We've met... unfortunately." I whisper the last part.

"Oh?" she furrowed her eyebrows.

"You see Veronica..." he began to say looking at her and then at me "... your cousin is actually one of my students. We... met yesterday."

Veronica's eyes widened at the revelation. "Oh my God Serene... I didn't know. Stephen, you didn't tell me?"

He chuckled "I do apologize Veronica, but the truth of the matter is that I myself didn't know until I saw her here. I came downstairs to surprise you with breakfast but I found Ms. Quinones instead serving breakfast."

Did he just say he was going to make her breakfast? Smooth... not.

"Aww Stephen, you are so sweet. Such a gentleman... isn't he Serene?" she cooed at him.

"Yeah... he's... something alright." I mumbled.

"Anyways, I, um made breakfast for you... I didn't realize you had a guest but there's enough. So, enjoy." I say passing them both so I can head upstairs to get dressed. I couldn't be in front of him anymore.

"Serene, where are you going? Aren't you going to join us?" Roni asked.

"No, I lost my appetite. You both enjoy it. I'm going to get ready for school. I'll just grab something later." I tell her with a weak smile on my face.

"Alright mama... I'll see you in a bit. I'll drop you off at the campus." she says while I'm heading up the stairs.

"Okay... thanks." I yell out.

I make it to my room and slam the door. I throw a little tantrum quietly, stomping my feet screaming but nothing coming out! WHY? WHY? WHY?

Isn't it enough that I have to see him in class and now he's here in my living space? From all the doctors Veronica had to go on a date with and then bring home to have sex, it had to be Dr. Stephen Queen?

This is not a good way to start my day.


A/N: Hello Readers. Here's an update for ya!

Serene is having a bad first day of her Freshman year in college. Colin has been bugging her and her Professor called her a Slut! She decides to drop his class but finds out she can't because it's a requirement to Graduate.

What do you think about Dr. Queen's behavior and what he said to Serene? How about being Veronica's date? Did he not know they are cousins? Or did he plan it... does he have ulterior motives?
