CHAPTER 38
Evan
I ’ve been avoiding Lexi since the Ghostface incident in the hallway. I’m not ready for her to figure out that I’m behind the mask, except for the night Trent used it to chase her to my office for me.
Lexi follows a group of students through the doorway. Her defiant, angry mocha irises lock with mine.
She’s pissed that I’ve been avoiding her and treating her like every other student in class. A thrill of victory races through my insides.
The students in front of her head down the aisle, leaving her exposed. My gaze slowly travels down her body from head to toe. What the fuck is she wearing?
She gives me a wide smile as she sticks her nose in the air and heads to her seat beside Sophia. I seethe, my eyes boring into her, nearly losing my shit at how short her goddamn skirt is. Not to mention, the low-cut top she’s wearing reveals entirely too much cleavage.
Smoke practically pours from my ears as I head to the podium. Taking deep breaths to try and calm myself, my thoughts churn with a plan.
I pull up Lexi’s reflection paper on my laptop. She thinks she can get under my skin. Two can play this game.
Satisfaction rolls through me when I’m finished.
Glancing at the clock, I raise my voice, drawing conversations to a halt.
“Good morning. Today, we’ll discuss the chapter I assigned on social psychology. Before we begin, I’ve finished grading your reflection papers. The grades are in the portal. If you have any questions, see me in my office.” My eyes lock with Lexi’s, and a challenge burns in them.
I pace across the front of the room as I begin lecturing. From the corner of my eye, I watch Lexi typing away on her laptop before shock transforms her face. Her cheeks turn red before her gaze settles on me with a glare that could freeze the sun.
She’s furious at the grade I gave her.
I wrote a note instructing her to see me in my office because it’s clear she doesn’t thoroughly understand the lecture or assigned readings.
Judging from her expression, that’s exactly where she’s heading after class.
I try to keep my expression neutral as I continue teaching, but the way Lexi is glowering at me is just so damn cute.
When I make eye contact with her, and she flips me off, I have to hide my smile behind my hand before moving behind the podium because my dick is noticeably erect.
I can’t wait to punish her.
