When I give a lecture on my subject, I simply cannot help but watch one of my students. Before, I didn't notice her at all, but lately for some reason I've been looking in her direction more and more often. I know it's unprofessional, but after breaking up with my girlfriend, I feel like I'm looking everywhere for a new connection. And I see the ideal option in a girl from among the students. Damn it.

I won't put too much pressure, I won't give any hints. I'll just try to talk a little about studying. Maybe then thoughts about her will leave me alone, and I will lose interest, seeing her only as a student.

"Stay a minute. I need to talk to you," I say as the lecture hall empties, my voice sounding more confident than I feel.
