Chapter 2

I wish I had some say in who my new TA was going to be. The dean of students thought it would be fun to do some contest. I didn't even get to pick the winner. I just hoped it was someone willing to work and do a good job. All I knew was that it was a freshman girl that had won. That made me very nervous since I was new here, and clearly the youngest teacher at this University.

I would have to spend a lot of time with this young girl going over work. I didn't want anyone to get the wrong impression. It bothers me that I have to even worry about that kind of thing. I guess it comes with being so young. I just need to prove myself now that I am here.

I almost messed up when I had coffee with a student. I mean I didn't know she was a student. Luckily, I got away from that disaster really quick. I doubt I'll ever run into her again. Now I just needed to focus solely on work.

I needed to forget all about Brie's gorgeous smile. And her amazing eyes that seemed to look into my soul. I hated the way I just ran off. I knew I hurt her, but I couldn't stick around. If anyone saw me with her my reputation would be crushed. Everything I worked so hard for would be gone.

I was lucky the University was even giving me a chance since I was so young. I can't blow it by getting involved with a student. Even if she is incredibly sexy. I was just glad this was a big campus. The odds of us running into each other were very slim.

I gathered up all my stuff and left the classroom. Tomorrow would be a busy day. I met with my new TA, and we would come up with some lesson plans for the start of the New Year. I was excited to be a teacher. This was going to be a great year. I could just tell.

I decided to walk by the student bulletin board, so I at least knew the name of my new TA. When I saw that the first name was Brie my heartbeat quickened. Then I calmed down. I doubted it was the same Brie I met yesterday. There was just no way fate would be that cruel.

No, it was going to be some girl that I had never met before. I hurried to get off of campus and get home. I needed some time to unwind. Hell, I needed a beer. I had to stop thinking that my new TA could be the girl I can't stop thinking about. I couldn't work with her if it was. I would have to find some way to get out of it. This can't be happening. It can't be her.
