A Night With The Guy Next Door

I had two choices: Stay where I'm at and plunge first into a scandalous disaster that would forever leave a stain on my record or leave and start fresh at an entirely new school. I wanted none of those two choices but I had nothing to do since l brought the disaster to myself.

"Rianna, do we have a deal?", I stared up into dean's cold eyes as he glanced over his desk at me. His jaw was wound tight and if he was a bomb, he would have exploded in less than five minutes. He had been talking for a good time but l was lost in my own thoughts.

"I still don't understand why I have to make this decision and yet professor douchebag is going to keep his job and stay here, it sounds like you trying to protect him. Are you trying to sweep this under the rug, Dean Godfrey?", I cocked up an eyebrow letting him know that l wasn't the type of girls he could pull the wool over their eyes and get away with it.

He could try to hide the fact that professor douchebag was a complete womanizing jerk- tricking his female students into having sex with him - but l knew the truth. Clearing his throat, he watched me intently as he adjusted his tie. "I'm not sweeping anything under the rug", He adjusted in his lavish leather chair before shuffling some papers in front of him.

"If any of this gets out Ms. Martinez, you and l both know it won't be just the professor in trouble. You will face jail time as well", He spoke with his eyes on me. I groaned inwardly at his words. He was right. If l hadn't tried to burn his house down and then basically assault him, l wouldn't be here faced with a life changing decision.

"Fine, where do my credits transfer to?", I knew there were only a few universities in the states that would allow me to transfer so many credits and two or three were close by. This only meant that l would get transferred to the farthest school possible. "It's a fine university, Rianna. You will find that it is just a short drive out of Boston, we believe you will love Massachusetts this time of year", He began shuffling more papers on his table until he found what he was looking for then he handed me a small stack of papers with my name printed on top.

"Massachusetts? Doesn't it get cold there?", I asked. I hated winter and the thought of getting stuck in the tundra while this jerk gets to stay in sunny Arizona made my blood boil. Dean Godfrey sighed while shaking his head. "I know it's not your first choice, Ms. Martinez but this is what I have got. Take it or leave it but know if you leave it, you will go to jail - that is the judge's terms",

When I heard his words, my fists balled up on my lap and l crinkled the papers in my hand as l glared at the dean in front of me. He was probably laughing at me inside his heart. He knew it that l had no say in all of this. I was totally screwed up. "I guess , I'm off to Massachusetts then", Standing up from my seat, l turned and headed towards the door but, I didn't open the door quickly. l just stopped in mid motion. I had one more message for the dean.
