Member-only story
Melissa whiles away her lectures by dreaming about her professor, who is angry with her because he doesn’t think she’s paying enough attention to class. She feels like she’s disappointed him, and things come to a head when he confronts her in class. But when he’s aware of her circumstances at home she starts to believe there’s a sliver of a chance that her fantasies could turn into a passionate reality.

The lecture hall was filled with attentive students. It was located in one of the old buildings of the college, so the long benches that ran around the curved seating area were wooden and hard, and unforgiving on the supple backsides of the students.
The seats stretched out and before them was an open floor with a small lectern and a massive blackboard that spanned the length of the wall, where Mr. William Ryan stood, his hand a blur as it slid across the blackboard, writing sonnets.
The chalk made a loud clacking sound as it rapped against the surface of the board, and the auditorium was alive with sound of students scribbling notes down on paper. The chamber had large windows near the ceiling so the sun streamed through and bathed the room in a warm glow; it was so bright that the soft wisps of clouds were barely visible.
