“What the hell do you want?” Devyn mumbled sleepily. “I was just having this dream…mmm, …Freddie Prinze Jr…mmm, beach…mmm.”
“Shut up Devyn,” Nancy laughed. “I don’t want to hear anymore.”
“Is there a problem ladies?” Professor Lockwood snapped angrily from his podium at the front of the lecture hall.
“No sir,” Devyn said, half sincerely as she sat up from her sleeping state. “I was just explaining to Nancy the equation to convert cold fusion. She didn’t quite understand it.”
“Uh huh,” the Professor said sarcastically. “And I was just trying to continue on with class. Is that okay with you Miss McPherson.”
“That’s fine sir.” Devyn sighed as she sat back in her chair. It seemed like everyday, she and Professor Lockwood would get into some kind of argument; this was usually accounted for by the fact that Devyn hated to be disrespected and Professor Lockwood loved to put students down to the ground. “God I hate that man,” she said.
Mike, who was sitting next to Devyn laughed a little. “The only reason you hate that man is you always get crap from him. Just shut up for once Devyn and maybe that won’t happen.”
“You know what Mike. I kicked your ass in third grade, don’t make me do it again. That would look really good to the fraternity that you’re pledging to.”
“I’m scared Dev…really…no kidding.”
“Miss McPherson please! I am trying to conduct a lecture here, a very small task, yet very significant. Now if you don’t mind...” It was obvious that Professor Lockwood had taken enough today. Although she had every urge to let all her anger out on that man, Devyn decided to sit back in her seat and not say a word until class was over and she, Mike, and Nancy all left for coffee and muffins at the Campus Lounge before their next class which started at 9:30.
“Damnit!” Devyn whispered as she scrambled to pick up the papers that she had been studying before Nancy's vanilla café’ latte spilled all over them.
“I’m sorry Dev,” Nancy repeated over and over.
“It’s no big deal,” Devyn said. “It’s just my physics notes. I think that Professor Lockwood would actually prefer me to turn them in like this.”
Mike and Nancy laughed a bit, but the fact was, Devyn wasn't kidding. It wasn’t an unknown fact that Professor Lockwood practically hated Devyn, not the Devyn cared much for him either.
“Well you two,” Nancy started. “I’ve got class in ten minutes so I’m gonna get back to campus. I’ll see you guys later.”
Once Nancy was gone, Mike and Devyn were debating on whether or not to even attend their next class, which happened to be Accounting. In the end, they both decided to go even though Devyn still couldn’t keep her eyes open and Mike was just plain bored the entire class hour.
