I laughed. "I don't daydream. If you haven't noticed, I get incredibly nervous talking in front of the whole class." It was a lie. I always seemed to be daydreaming about Professor Hunter. During Stat I hadn't even tried to make out what the heck my foreign professor was saying. I was just picturing the hunger in Professor Hunter's eyes.
"Yeah, which is incredibly cute."
I couldn't help blushing.
"I'm double majoring in finance and economics," he said.
I was a little surprised. "Really? I wouldn't have guessed that in a million years. You must be really smart."
He laughed. "Does that surprise you?"
"It doesn't surprise me that you're smart. It's just that you're really funny and endearing. Why such serious majors?"
"Yeah, I don't know. They just seemed like logical choices I guess. And I really don't have a clue what I want to do when I graduate."
"You'll need to do some soul searching before your speech then."
"I guess so. Anyway, this was leading me to the fact that you're going to need to answer the question that you passed on."
"What was that again?" I asked, pretending to look confused.
The waitress came over and placed our drinks on the table.
"I know you remember the question."
I took a sip of my soda and stared innocently at Tyler.
He laughed. "I asked you what the most scandalous thing you've ever done was."
When he had first asked me the question in the dining hall, I completely freaked out. Professor Hunter had just kissed me. But now it was so much more than that. A kiss didn't seem nearly as scandalous. Before I even knew what I was doing I was answering his question:
"I kissed a professor once." I tried to say it nonchalantly.
Tyler laughed. After a few seconds of silence he said, "Wait, are you serious?"
"Well, he kissed me, actually."
"Which professor was it?" I could hear a hint of jealousy in his voice.
The waitress arrived and placed the pizza down on the rack in the middle of the table. "One cheese pizza," she said with a smile. "Anything else I can get for you?"
Tyler continued to stare at me.
"No thanks," I said to her and she walked away.
"Penny? Which professor?"
Why couldn't I keep my mouth shut? It just felt so good to finally tell someone. "Yeah, I'm not going to tell you that. That's the most scandalous thing I've ever done though. Consider the question answered." I grabbed a slice of pizza and put it on my plate.
"Where did you kiss?" Tyler asked.
"Not answering that."
"How long ago was it?"
"Not answering that."
"Were you trying to get your grade changed or something?"
