Page 66 of Tempting the President

I frowned.

Start tomorrow right with a good day’s work today.

I had written the words entirely in uppercase and using only block letters.

“And what did you write before that?”

I flipped back another page. This time, I had create a heart-shaped variant of a word cloud.

Every person’s destiny starts with the choice to believe in one’s dream.

My frown deepened as I scribbled on my board.I DON’T GET IT.

“Go back to today’s WIP.”

I did as asked. My eyes widened.

He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me!

And to make matters worse, I had used hearts rather than tiny plain circles for my exclamation marks.

Yuck.

This was what I got, for tossing and turning the whole time last night, replaying the way we kissed and touched in the cafeteria over and over in my mind.

When I tried to tear out my current page, Professor Edison burst into laughter. “Don’t you dare!”

I made a face. It was soyucky.I had to get rid of it.

“Seriously, don’t. The message may be too prosaic for you—-”

I shook my head and wrote on my board. PROSAIC = NICE WORD FOR YUCK.

“Possibly. But I’m the teacher so you’re supposed to do what I say. So finish that and don’t throw it away. I’m going to include it in the exhibit.”

As my art professor turned to leave, I lowered my head to the desk.

*Head desk*

My life was over.

Beside me, KC peeked at my work. “Oh.Wow.”

Eyes still closed, I just fumbled for my phone and typed.IT’S GROSS.

“I think it’s sweet.”

I typed again.You’re sweet. This is gross.

“I take it things are going well between you and Kellion Argyros?”

I shrugged.

“Details please?” KC was practically begging.

With a sigh, I opened my eyes and started typing.I just want to make him smile.

KC inched her chair away from me.
