Teach me to sin

Heldon College was built in the early 90s as a private university for the children of the elite. You had to come from a long line of money to attend but I was the exception. I was an orphan desperately searching for a way out of the foster home system when I received a mail that I had been granted a scholarship into Heldon College. Only one in a thousand students got that opportunity and I was lucky enough to have it. All the financial aspects of schooling at Heldon was taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about that. The only thing that was expected of me were good grades and behavior. Four years at Heldon and I have to admit that asides having to deal with the intense feelings of being an outsider, I love it here. Nico and I were in his car and on our way to where Julius stayed. The campus was as large as a small town and had all the things you’d find in such places. Because of how large the school area was, it was usually best to drive to your destination as walk

The music from the speakers were loud enough to stop me from hearing myself think. I stayed close behind as Rita and Nico led the way. Rita had made sure that we were dressed impeccably and that really boosted my mood. At least I was not looking like the way I’ve been feeling. Rita herself looked really beautiful tonight and I noticed that Nico had not taken his eyes off her once. He was definitely smitten. “Come on, let’s go grab a few drinks!” She yelled as loud as she could and I followed them to the bar. Three shots of vodka were presented to us and we made sure to down the contents at the same time. The warm liquid burned my chest as it traveled down my body. It felt good nonetheless. “Let’s go dance!” Nico and I were already being dragged to the almost crowded dance floor before either of us had the chance to object. It was such a relaxing feeling; having the time of your life with your best friends in a room full of strangers. It made me laugh and let the mus

The lunch area, well one of the various lunch areas at Heldon was designed elegantly with comfortable seating arrangements. The walls are adorned with artwork that cost quite a lot of money thus creating an atmosphere of inspiration and sophistication. The place was well-lit, with large windows offering a view of the beautifully manicured college campus.Several students interacted with one another, majority of these interactions based on networking and connections. Sometimes, it was sort of sad to see people not develop any real relationship.It was one of the few things that I was grateful for when it came to Nico and Rita. They genuinely cared for me and the smiles on their faces as I took my seat at their table showed that.However, no amount of smiling could ease my tension. I had slept with Rita’s sister’s ex husband and now I find out that he’s going to be lecturing me from now on.How was I going to face this? There was already no way in hell that I was going to tell them

I stood at the front of the classroom filled with students, lecturing on ancient civilizations. It was officially my second week at Heldon and in that time I had made my mark as the handsome, no nonsense professor. Mathew’s warning was still fresh in my head. Be careful with the students, especially the girls. I needed to make sure that I was nice enough to be fairly approachable but strict enough to pass across the message that I did not play like that. “Ancient Indus Valley civilization dated from around 3300 to 1300 BCE, developed advanced urban planning with sophisticated drainage systems,” I said with my usual loud voice, “The creation of intricate jewelry and an undeciphered writing system unique only to them. This writing style consisted of over 400 symbols with meanings still unknown till date” My eyes scanned the room and landed on Alex and his soft, perfect features. I quickly looked away and continued my lecture but at this point I was consistently stealing glance

I was having Tristan's class today and it did not help that Nico chose that day to stay in with Rita and skip it. In other words that meant that I was on my own today. I tried not to appear too nervous as I made my way to the hall. It was getting harder and harder to act like I was not overwhelmed with the idea of being under my professor one more time. I shook my head as thoughts of the night that we met came crawling back. It was getting increasingly harder to curb them. The sound of his moans and the dirty words that he whispered in my ear haunted my dreams.It was even getting harder and harder to focus on the memory of Julius and I. Professor Tristan's existence made it seem like my ex boyfriend was nothing but a lucid dream. It made me frustrated and confused. This man had broken the heart of my friend's sister.He was off limits and he had to stay that way. The hard part now was to convince my mind and body to keep that rule. As I neared the entrance of the hall I sa
