DD: What inspired you to write it?

Jen: Um.....I, uh....a recent expierence.......

DD: <nods some>

Jen: Um, would you mind looking at my essay after I write it? I mean, before I turn it in, so maybe you could give me a few tips to improve it.....

DD: Sure. I'd love to.

Jen: <nods some> Okay, thanks. <looking into his eyes>

DD: <very soft brown eyes>

Jen: <melting> <hopes she can keep standing up>

DD: <looks down> <perfectly cut bangs hang over his forehead some>

Jen: <loves that> <gives a little sigh> Well, um......I think that I should get going......

DD: <very gentle voice> Okay. Good luck, Jennifer.

Jen: Thanks. <smiles> <leaving> <looks back at him halfway out though>

DD: <adorable lil smile>

Jen: <feels all mushy>

Cassie: Okay... <does> <feels nervous, no clue what's going on>
JC: Um.... <sits on his desk> I think we need to discuss what happened the other day.....
Cassie: Oh.. <swallows>
JC: I've been thinking about it the past weekend.....and I don't know what to do.....
Cassie: Oh.. <doesn't know what to say>
JC: I don't think it's a good idea that anything else happen in the future...... I mean, it was my fault in the first place, but.......
Cassie: <nods a little bit, looking at her hands>
JC: I could lose my job over this and.....I don't want anyone to think that I'm showing favortism or anything....
Cassie: <nods> I understand that.. <quiet>
JC: Anyway....I'm sorry..... I guess I'll see you in class tomorrow then.... <stands up>

Cassie: <there> <studying, but not really>
Jen: Hey, what happened?
Cassie: <shrugs> <turns page>
Jen: Cassie......
Cassie: He doesn't want anything to happen.... I mean, I know that.......
Jen: Well, maybe he does, he just doesn't want to lose his job......
Cassie: Same difference.. <turns back to the page she was on>
Jen: <shakes head>
Cassie: You going to Chris' tonight?

Cassie: Hey. <lil smile> Had fun, I guess?
Jen: Mmhmm.... <pulling back her hair> <has a couple of hickies on her neck>
Cassie: <eyebrow> You sure did..
Jen: Yep.
JC: <coming into class> <shuffling through some papers> <later, passing back tests> <wrote a few notes on Cassie's, asking to see her later on that day>
Cassie: <sighs> <doesn't want to>
JC: <starting to give his lecture about how disappointed he is about the test scores>
Jen: <of course, got an A> <all happy>
Cassie: <to be realistic, got a C :)>

Cassie: <yepyup>
C: <coming up behind her and kisses her neck> Hey. <smiles> <goes around and sits by her>
Jen: Hey. <smiles>
Cassie: <sighs, rolls eyes>
C: You left early this morning... <sad eyes> <playing w/ her hair>
DD: <comes in>
Jen: I had stuff to do.....
DD: Quiet down, people. We've got a lot to cover...
Jen: <nudges Chris to behave>
C: <holding her hand>
DD: <starts talking about objectives then getting into assingments etc>
C: <hand slowly going up her thigh>
Jen: <pushing it back every few seconds>
DD: <while talking, can see how Chris is w/her> <focuses on other side of the class>
Jen: <writing a note to Cassie> <says: So, how are things going with Jake?>
Cassie: <writes back: I don't know. I haven't talked to him in a few days.>
Jen: <writes: Why not? I mean, he's sweet.....>
Cassie: <writes: I don't know.>
Jen: <writes: Are you gonna go meet with Dr. Carter after class?>
Cassie: <writes: I don't want to, but I guess I've got to.>
Jen: <writes: Yeah....hey, what excuse can I use to see Dr. Duchovny after this class?>
Cassie: <writes: What about Chris? Have you not noticed where his hands are going?>
Jen: <writes: His hands are always there.>
Cassie: <writes: Exactly.>
Jen: <writes: I love him, but.....I dunno. There's just somethin' about Dr. Duchovny....>
Cassie: <writes: Well.. I understand *that*.>
Jen: <writes: Well, what excuse can I use?>
Cassie: <writes: Um... Help on that paper? Some book or poem you can say you wanted an opinion on to know if it's worth reading...>
Jen: <writes: Hehehe. Good idea. Thanks.>
Cassie: <writes: That's why I'm the smart one.>
Jen: <writes: Shut up.>
Cassie: <writes: But I'm not saying anything. :)>
Jen: <writes: Ho.>

Jen: <getting up from her seat>
Cassie: <goin'> See you later.
Jen: Bye. Hey, Chris, I'll have to talk to you later too... I'll see you tonight, I need to ask Dr. Duchovny something.
C: <sighs> Alright... <pulls her toward him> <gives her one long kiss> <let's just say, learned more than just speaking in French>
DD: <saw>
C: <leaves>
DD: <putting papers away>
Jen: <going up to David> Hi. <smiles>
DD: <small smile> Hey.
Jen: Um, I was wondering if I could ask your opinion on something..... What do you think of <says a name of a book>?
DD: Very good book.
Jen: What's it about? I mean, I haven't read it yet....
DD: <tells her some long gushy love story thing>
Jen: What happened? Did she get to marry him?
DD: <lil smile> You'll just have to read it.
Jen: Oh, come on....
DD: <smiles> Well, why would you read it if you knew the ending? Trust me, it's an excellent love story. You'll love it.
Jen: Even if I do know the ending I'll read it... Please tell me......
DD: Sorry, goes agaisnt my ethics. <cute, teasing smile>
Jen: You're mean. <jokingly> <looking into his eyes>
DD: Maybe. <turns, putting stuff in his bag>
Jen: <bites her lip> <fidgeting>
DD: Anything else?
Jen: Um.....no. I guess I'll go, then.....
DD: Okay. See you tomorrow. <turns> <quick, normal teacherly goodbye>
Jen: <weird look> <leaving>

JC: <grading papers or somethin'>
Cassie: <took as much time as she could getting there> <knocks>
JC: Come in.... <setting the papers down>
Cassie: <does>
JC: <stands up> Please shut the door behind you.
Cassie: <closes it> <scratches head nervously>
JC: Look.... <approaches her> I know I said this wouldn't happen again, but... <takes her into his arms and kisses her> <he didn't just learn speaking in French, either>
Cassie: <just happens to be fluent in AR....>
JC: <pulls away from her slowly> <eyes closed>
Cassie: <trying to breath normal> <looks at him>
JC: Sorry. <looking at her>
Cassie: <shakes head a little> It's okay. <kisses him>
JC: <pulling her closer to him> <pulling away slowly> We have to figure out what to do now....
Cassie: What, then..? <talkin' quietly>
JC: I think we should just keep this quiet for awhile, until we can figure out what to do.
Cassie: Okay.. <stayin' close>
JC: <holding her>

Jen: <in the dorm room> <reading the book>
Cassie: <comin' in>
Jen: <smiles> Go well with Dr. Carter?
Cassie: <smiles> <goes and sits down>
JC: <asked her to call him John when they were alone, too>
Jen: Well?
Cassie: Yeah.
Jen: What happened?
Cassie: He just, well, not much but we're just... I don't know. I can't think.
Jen: <smiles> You love him....
Cassie: <lil smile>
Jen: Well, that's more than I can say for our dear English professor.
Cassie: What happened?
Jen: I dunno. He just seems disinterested now.
Cassie: Ohh... Well.. <shrugs> Maybe men have moods, too. It doesn't make any sense, but it could happen...
Jen: Yeah, I guess.....<sighs> <reading the book again> <stays up until late into the night reading it and by then throws it against the wall, hates it>

<>

Jen: <dragging herself to anatomy>
Cassie: <helping>
Jen: <sitting down> <ready to fall asleep>
JC: <the whole time looks at Cassie once in awhile, but that's all> <doesn't want to be too obvious>
Jen: <falls asleep during class>
JC: <when he passes back papers asks for her to meet him later on that day>

<>

Jen: <wakes up and going to English class>
Cassie: <yepyup>
C: <coming up to them> <gives my ar a quick kiss>
Jen: <hopes she doesn't fall asleep>
DD: <comes in>
Jen: <"oh, I'm awake">
C: <hand on her thigh again> <the little horny thing>

<>

Jen: Good luck, Casscass...
Cassie: <smiles> Stay awake. <goes>
Jen: I'll come by later, Chris.
C: Aren't you spending a little bit too much time with this professor? I want you to come home now... <kinda pulling her>
Jen: I'll be there in a little while, I promise. <gives him a quick kiss>
C: <sighs> Okay. <leaving>
Jen: <going up to David> <sighs> That book sucked!
DD: It did? What sucked about it?
Jen: She didn't get to marry the man she loved.
DD: That's how life goes.
Jen: It doesn't always have to, though.
DD: But it still happens. <holds her gaze for a moment then rifles through papers>
Jen: I don't think I would've married the other guy.....
DD: Well, it was the 1800's... Some things were a bit different. But she thought he loved the other woman... She didn't know what to do.
Jen: She should've told him how she felt.
DD: She was afraid he wouldn't feel the same way and then would avoid her and she wanted him to be happy. She thought he'd be happiest w/the woman he chose and he felt the same towards her.
Jen: But he wasn't... I think she should've done it. It's better to risk it then spend the rest of your life wondering if they felt the same way.
DD: She was too afraid. She didn't want him to feel obliged to return her feelings.
Jen: <shrugs> I thought it was pretty clear how he felt towards her.
DD: Love is blind. She thought she was seeing only what she wished he felt.
Jen: I think she was just too afraid to confront her love for him.
DD: Maybe a bit of all of those. Plus, the way she was raised - she never thougght she should expect something so wonderful as the person she loved loving her back.
Jen: What do you think you would've done?
DD: I'm not sure... Luckily, I'm not in such a position. <practically looking right through her>
Jen: <nods> <kinda hurt look> Well, um.. I guess I'll get going...
DD: <nods some>
Jen: <tears forming a little> <leaving>
DD: <stares off for awhile>
Jen: <going back to her dorm room and crying>

Cassie: Okay.....

Cassie: <smiles>

Jen: <getting up> Um.... I guess I'll see you later, Cassie.
Cassie: Aren't you going to English?

Jen: <in her room, studying for something>
DD: <knocks on the dorm room>
Jen: <sighs> <expects it to be Chris> Chris, I said I have to- <opens it> Oh, hello, Professor Duchovny.
DD: Hi. Can we talk for a minute?
Jen: Sure, come in.
DD: <does> <dressed in jeans and a plain shirt> So.. why are you switching out?
Jen: Is it really any of your business?
DD: No, but I'm curious. I made you mad somehow, and I didn't mean to.
Jen: <shrugs> I left for personal reasons.
DD: I know.
Jen: Look, it really doesn't matter.
DD: I think it does.
Jen: Why? I'm just another one of your students.
DD: No, you're not. <been looking at her "that" way since he got there>
Jen: Then what am I? <on the brink of tears>
DD: It depends on what you want to be. <soft voice> And who you choose.
Jen: Who I choose doesn't feel the same way.
DD: You never know until you take the chance.
Jen: <nods> Would you?
DD: Take the chance?
Jen: <nods>
DD: I think I would. I would want to.
Jen: But it's a good thing you aren't in that position.....right?
DD: I'm not so sure..
Jen: You were sure yesterday.
DD: No, I wasn't...... I thought you weren't.
Jen: <tears slipping down her cheek> I am sure......and I thought you were too, until you said you weren't.
DD: I didn't.. <going closer, guilty look since she's so upset> I didn't think since.. You were with him....
Jen: I love him, but.....it's different with you...... I was only with him because I didn't think that there was a chance.
DD: <rubbing her tears away, that "I'm so sorry, it's my fault"/"are you okay?" look>
Jen: <puts her arms around him>
DD: <holds her close, rubbing her back>
Jen: <kisses him>
DD: <kisses her back gently>
Jen: <kissing him harder>
DD: <holding her closer, kissing her>
Jen: I love you.
DD: I love you.. <kisses her again>
Jen: <taking off his shirt>
DD: <shrugging it off, unbuttoning hers>
