CHAPTER 23
Evan
A nticipation makes my palms sweaty as I eye the clock over the door. A couple of students enter the room, doing a double-take when they see me leaning against the podium.
“Are you taking Dr. Boyle’s place this semester?”
“Sure am, James. He was approved for a last-minute sabbatical. I told the administration I’d step in and teach his course this semester.”
“Awesome.” Phoenix Carter, affectionately known as Nyx, wide receiver of the SRU Panthers, slaps my hand. “I’ll be signing up for tutoring during your office hours.”
“That’ll be a nice change.” I cross my arms over my chest, smirking at him.
He shrugs. “I’m not a fan of most professors. They don’t understand the demands on an athlete. You and Trent do since you used to play football.”
“We can’t tutor you in everything, Nyx.”
He slides into a seat. “I know. But you have Psychology and IT covered.” He lifts one shoulder in a shrug. “I need to find a nerd who can tutor me in English.”
I chuckle. “Good luck with that.”
My eyes dart to the door as another group of students walk inside.
Frustration fills me as I pace the front of the room. Where the hell is Lexi?
