Chapter 1: Pearsons U


    Augustine decided to go on her own when she was scheduled for an interview at Pearsons University!


    Her parents were both at work so no one could drive her.


    She had to take the bus and the subway to reach her destination on time. She entered the University


    gate and was already amazed with the buildings inside the premises and the wide field where students


    y sports. There are also benches and student lounges where students can stay waiting for their next


    sses or hang out with friends.


    She looked around as she walked towards the Engineering Department’s building. She''s starting to feel


    nervous as her steps brought her closer to the hall.


    Few students were there and some of them looked at her, noticing that she''s a new face. She felt


    ufortable so she bowed her head while walking up the stairs to the second floor.


    She''s wearing a ck coat over her blush pink turtleneck tucked in a ck pencil skirt with her ck


    heeled shoes. She tied her shoulder length hair up in a ponytail and applied light make up for that


    interview.


    There are already four students waiting in the lounge near the dean''s office. And she''s the only girl!


    Two of the guys upied the two single seater chairs and other two were seated in a four seater


    couch, upying both ends that she had to sit in the middle.


    All of them are wearing semi-formal clothes like her so she assumed that they''re also there for their


    interview. She took a deep breath and exhaled as she waited with them silently. None of them said a


    word and was suddenly attentive when the secretary approached them bringing folders in her hand.


    The secretary smiled. "Hi! I''m Diane, I work as a faculty assistant for Dean Anderson. He''ll be


    interviewing all five of you today. These are your submitted applications. Just give this to him once you


    start the interview." She gives out the folders as she called the names on them. "I''ll be in my desk. I''ll


    be back to call who''s going in first, okay?"


    They all nodded and rxed when she left. They''re still waiting when the door opened from the main


    lobby.


    Five pairs of eyes stared at the door and her mouth dropped open when she saw the hot creature


    He''s towering height and lean physique resembles those of male runway models. He carries himself


    confidently in his red sweater over his white cored top and folded them up to his elbows paired with


    his navy khakis and brown Oxford shoes. His brownish ck hair is neatly cut and he wears a sleek,


    ck rimmed rectangr eyesses.


    He gave the people in the room a nce as he closed the door behind him. She had to close her


    mouth and discreetly swallowed when his gazended on her.


    Damn! Who is this guy?


    She looked at the thick books in his hand. They''re engineering books. She wondered if he''s also a

    student.


    Maybe a senior? Oh my God! If I make it here, I may finally have an ultimate crush! He looked smart,


    neat and hot! It''s the type I''d drool over any time of the day! But why is he staring at me? Oh, is it


    because I’m the only girl here?


    He looked away and went straight to the room with a sign FACULTY.


    She almost fainted in her seat. That can''t be right! He''s too young to be a professor in this University!


    Diane came back with a smile on her lips as she approached them. She called a guy’s name toe


    in first. She realized a sigh of relief as she watched them walked towards the Dean''s office.


    The rest of them stayed at the lounge and she couldn''t stop thinking about that hot creature earlier!


    He must be a senior student who had to see one of his professors because he''s too intelligent he had


    to share some thoughts about the ss earlier or maybe he had some ss discussions that he needs


    to rify with a professor!


    “Right! That must be it!" She unintentionally said out loud and the three guys looked at her, their face


    shows how weirded out they are. She pretended like nothing happened and pretended to check her


    phone. But, you usually knock beforeing in, right? Ugh. I should just stop thinking about it.


    Hours passed and the guys left after their turn. She arrivedst so she was the only person in the room


    to be interviewed before lunch.


    She''s waiting for the fourth guy to finish his interview when the faculty room door opened and few


    people came out talking about lunch. Thest person who came out was him, the hot creature!


    She saw him reading a book as he walks straight to the lounge and sat at the single seater couch. He


    crossed his legs and she saw the ck expensive socks he''s wearing. She tried to take a peek at the


    book he''s reading but she saw him ring at her, catching her attempt to look at him so she looked


    away.


    She''s starting to feel uneasy being alone with him while her heart beats so fast that it''s the only sound


    she could hear.


    "Miss Peters? Miss Augustine Peters?" Diane called her again, this time she''s standing next to her.


    She looked up as if a spell casted have been broken and she finally got back to reality. "Yes?"


    Diane smiled at her. "Dean Anderson is waiting for you."


    "Oh, right!" Sheughed nervously and followed Diane. She could feel that he''s still ring at her.


    Damn! What''s wrong with me? I''m behaving like a silly teenager! Well I''m still eighteen! I think I''m still


    allowed to feel this way towards someone as hot as him, right?
