Name: William (Billy to his close friends) Willington
Age: 35
Personality/Background: Billy has always been fascinated with any type of English or Literature subject. He's published about three books about three very different genres. He's the type of person you'd run to for help and you'd run to for comfort. He's very understanding, considerate, kind, caring, and you'll never be disappointed with what you hear from him...except for "Homework" or "Test" He never really thought about getting into a commitment with someone....until this semester started.

Billy stared at the blank page before him. It had been a while since he had been on writers block...but nothing this bad before. He kept clicking his blue ink pen in his right hand and sighed. He then closed the book and then looked up at the class before him who were copying notes off of the power point he presented before them.

Most of them looked pretty much done. Some were messing with their phones, some where looking around the room, some where reading a book, and some were just staring at the power point because it was that boring. He chuckled and then got up from his desk chair and looked around at the class once more. Only one more was still copying. When he saw her pen drop, he clicked the next button on his clicker for the power point and a new subject came up. Geoffrey Chaucer.

"Geoffrey Chaucer. Born in Circa 1343 London...Chaucer was the very first English Literate and Poet. He was the one who started the whole...book-writing process that we all depend upon nowadays for entertainment. His first book was The Book of the Duchess and his last was The Canterbury Tales," Billy explained as he looked up at the power point. "Make sure to write down everything, people. This will be on the test Monday," he then added.

Age: 18
Personality/Background: Very social, very hard to deal with sometimes, and always tells it as it is.. Terra had always been an up-front person and would tell people what sometimes- they hadn't wanted to hear. Though she's popular around certain people; others find her hard to get along with because she can become quite aggressive. She's never really had a good relationship, all those boys were immature anyway..

-----------------

Her eyes were locked on the power point, but her mind was somewhere else. Terra sighed as she wrote down everything quickly, so she could continue texting her friends that were within other classes. She hadn't known Professor Willington- nor has she heard about him, and for the least, she wasn't to concerned. Terra put her phone within her purse and slumped back with a dull stare.

Terra raised her hand, but without hesitance she spoke without him calling on her "Professor- will there ever be a time that you'll actually speak more, then use these lame power-points..? I'd rather hear you lecture us for two hours, instead of writing note for the entire lecture.." She grumbled as she crossed her arms.

Usually she was the ring leader, the classmates that were friends with Terra all pitched in their 2 cents, and slammed their notebooks shut. Terra smirked and tilted her head "Are you to scared to talk straight to us, so you need to hide yourself within your books- or write continuously; as you have us constantly writing and doing assignments? You don't amuse me" She fake yawned and put her feet onto the desk "You actually make me quite tired." The other students laughed, but then silenced and returned to taking notes.

Billy stared with awe at the student who had spoken. No student had ever said that to him nor had ever spoke up to him with such intake. He raised an eyebrow, more impressed than angered.

"If you have a problem with the way I teach, you're more than welcome to leave my class...miss....?" he asked, looking at his attendence sheet. "Valkyr," he said with interest in his tone.

He knew that Terra had a point, but this was how he teaches his students and he hasn't had a student who has failed his class for about two years now. This student had some spunk that that impressed him all the more.

Terra raised her brow right back and stood "Oh really, your allowing me to just walk out if that's what I please?" She crossed her arms and smirked "I would think, for someone such as yourself, you would try in your best interest to keep me here- you do have a right to teach, as I do have the right to learn; I'm just not impressed with HOW your trying to teach us" Terra stepped forward.

"So who is the one failing here, hm? This may be the way YOU teach, but some others may think- that your shoving this information down our throats. For the past week I've had more fun learning in Physics, than in here. You make literature so.." She paused and leaned forward to be dramatic "Boring~" The word rolled off of her tounge as she passed his desk and him as well.

Terra looked back to her fellow class mates "Farewell my dear class, enjoy getting hand cramps" With that she gave a bow and then blew a kiss to the Professor "And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted nevermore!" She quoted from The Raven meaning that exiting the dark room with only the projector as its light, she would be free from the true evils of what she would mock as mind control.

Still, she had to wait for one of her friends whom was within the same class. So Terra left and laid there purposely by the window as she watched the class in session.

Anger welled up inside of Billy as he listened to what this student was saying. What made him all the more angry was that he had nothing to say back to her. He took deep breaths slowly...and after a moment and he she was out of his class, he then turned to the class, embarrassed.

Hiding the embarrassment, he looked at the restless students before him. "Very well then... For those of you who are willing to just sit there and listen to me talk to whole class...raise your hands," he said and watched half the class raise their hands. You've got to be kidding me. Lecturing is the most boring way to learn something! he thought to himself as he looked at the class. "Well then........you better be good at taking notes without copying off of something...cause I'm a teacher...and you are my class. I teach you guys...but I guess I have to do it the right way, huh? So, starting tomorrow, I guess you'll get what you want. Those of you not wanting me to lecture, come to me after class," he said as he looked at the clock. The class was over.

He sighed and sat down at his desk. "Class dismissed."

Terra's friend quickly rushed out of the class and went up to her "You know you should apologize to him, you really embarrassed him" Terra listened and giggled as she stood "Fine, I gotta go get my jacket outta there anyway." She gave her friend the keys as she re-entered the building and into his class.

"Don't mind me, I'm just getting my jacket" Terra passed Professor Willington's desk and went over to the desk she sat at "Hey.. Where's my jacket?" She looked up over to him and grumbled. "Look; I'm sorry for how I acted" She folded her arms and looked away.

Terra wasn't great with apologies, and she never really enjoyed giving them either. "All I did was speak my mind, now my I please have my jacket back?" Terra walked up to him and then felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She pulled it out and skimmed over the text.

'My mom went into labor, I took your car I'm sorry! Love you doll'

Great, now how was she going to get home? "You've gotta be kidding me" She turned her back for a moment and searched her pocket for change- though she hated public transportation.. "Are you serious, I don't even have enough for the bus?!" Terra stressed and returned her attention to Billy "Can I please have my jacket- I've gotta walk home, and it's about an hour walk" She growled lightly.

Billy opened up his notebook and went back to attempting to write some more of his book on a enemy/enemy romance. He sighed and wrote down a few lines. He shrugged. A few lines was far better than nothing at all.

He then looked up from his half-filled notebook at the rude student before him. "Number one, I didn't take your jacket. Number two, your so called apology is far from being accepted. Number three, the next time you want to speak your mind, hold your tongue. They say that ignorance is bliss. And number four, if you need a ride to wherever you live, I can give you a ride," he said in a very cold voice as he looked back down at his notebook.

Terra looked to the floor, this time, for once feeling regret "Listen.. I really am sorry; but it's fine- if you don't accept my apology then I understand. I wont ride with someone thats upset with me, I'll walk, it doesn't matter." She left the room and wandered off from the school, and into the street. Terra continued rubbing her arms to keep herself warm as she strayed down the road.

Terra had gotten at least 3-4 miles before she gave up, walking anymore would just knock her out. She stumbled over and sat onto the ground tiredly and stared at the sky. "I wish I would've just taken his offer.." She growled at herself as she pulled her knees to her chest and hugged them tightly. "I'm stuck here until Steph decides to come looking for me.." Soon as she said that her phone started vibrating.

'Terra, I know your probably mad- but I need to stay with my mom at the Hospital'

Terra moaned out of pain and held her head low- she needed to rest for the time being. She closed her eyes, there was no way anyone would go looking for her; She didn't have family, Terra was on her own. She remained there quietly, oh how pathetic she felt.

Missing work, missing her bed, and missing herself.. She didn't use to be all bad, instead Terra use to be a nice girl until the worst happened. Her parents were supporting her brother and his bride to be- Terra was helping, so literally paying rent; until her brother and her got into a fight.. In the end Terra was the one that was left alone, and so from then on she became bitter, blunt, and forward about things. Only one of her friends had a well enough job in which the two together could support each other. It was bad though when Stephanie would take the car without letting Terra know..

Terra in pain stood and continued on, it was a few more blocks by then to get home to Brahms..

Billy sighed at what Terra had said. Fall was coming near and that meant cooler evenings and nights and morning. After she had left, he got up, searched his classroom for her jacket. Unable to find it, he grabbed his suitcase and hurried out of the school to get home, trying to get Terra from his mind. Why did he care so much? She was a rude student who should learn to control her mind and her tongue.

Halfway home, he saw Terra. He saw how much of a mess she looked and stopped for her as he put down his window and hung his head out the window at her. "Get in Terra, I'll take you home," he said in a calm, warm, and gentle voice.

He wasn't a rude person who would just let someone he knew freeze and struggle to get home no matter how much he was too keen about their personality.

Seeing as she was weak at the moment, he got out of his car and gently grabbed her arms to keep her steady. "Are you okay, Terra?" he then asked her, looking deep into her eyes.

For a moment Terra hadn't known who grabbed her and struggled before realizing that it was her professor. She looked away and sniffed "I-i'm fine" She whined and kept herself from looking back into his eyes. Terra sighed and finally gave in, looking up "Would you like to know the truth.." She whimpered

Terra really wasn't the person to talk about herself, nor was she to concern anyone else. She exhaled and retrieved her arm, even though she stumbled over, she still picked herself up. "Stephanie Glen, her and I are living in the Brahms Valley Apartments together- her mother was in the hospital; she just had a baby." Terra growled lightly as she continued..

"Her and I work two completely different shifts, she works afternoons, I work nights- we're both sharing on rent and for car insurance.." Terra walked up to the car with Billy and let herself in, still explaining "Stephanie is at the hospital right now- she's staying there and she has the car with her.. What ever though, I guess I deserve it." Terra buckled herself in and continued rubbing her arms for warmth.

"Since I know your probably going to ask about it later- my parents favored over my brother, and my brother has a serious psychological problem.. He was suspicious of what I was into- because I always kept to myself. Well, I use to just be curious about witchcraft things, and he found my things representing it- showed mom and dad, and all of us fought; lets just say my parents don't want anything to do with me; because they now think I'm shady, and devious.. So I thought, maybe everyone would just like the cold hard truth, so I usually am always blunt..." She frowned and shook her head

Terra looked over to him and tried smiling "I'll be alright, but If I'm rude, I do apologize, it's just the late night hours, and well pressure.." She slumped her shoulders as she took another breath in calmly.

"I'm sorry to have to hear that. But I'm advising you to hold your tongue in respect of authorities who are trying to get you to your independent life," he said as he tried to smile back at her.

Billy sighed as he then quickly took his coat off and handed it to Terra. "Here, take it. But no matter what you say, I'm taking you home," he said as he handed her the jacket and helped her wrap it around herself.

Then he got in the driver's seat and motioned for Terra to get in the passenger's seat.

Terra blushed lightly and nodded as she sat in the passengers seat and buckled up. "Thank you.." What was running through her head wasn't something she wanted to openly say to him. Hold her tounge, probably the best thing for her right now.

Terra looked over to him for a moment and tilted her head "Do you usually drive this way..? I'm just curious.." She only wanted to say that much, to not upset him 'Did he come looking for me?' Was what was buzzing in her head. "Brahms isn't a place where I thought someone like you to be around.." She realized what she said and slapped her mouth shut.

Brahms was an OK district, but there was usually a lot of crimes going on around the area- then again, that was the part Terra and Stephanie were stuck into; there is the Higher Class side of Brahms, which was a little further than 'the village.' Maybe William was one of the Upperclassmen.. Terra looked at him once more "I'm sorry- I didn't mean to say that, you could be in a whole other area for all I know." She paused "Stephanie and I could only afford to live in the village, well, she knows upperclassmen, I've never met any."

Terra felt awkward of what she was saying "I probably sound so foolish- probably like.. Some ghetto white trashy chick.." She put herself down, some trashy white chick was something her brother had always called her, so it convinced her that she was. But instead- Terra wanted to change the subject- and change it fast.

"The only reason why I said those things back in the class, is because I thought you would be more charismatic instead of shy- your one of the most attractive professors I've met" As the words slipped from her tounge, her face completely flushed and she looked out the window quickly without saying anything else.

Billy looked at her from the corner of his eyes as a smile formed at his lips. "Well, I have a habit of spending far less money than my bank account holds. And I like to live in a really small, simple, and quaint house. Now, I didn't want an apartment, but I ended up in this really nice house. The whole crimes and noise thing doesn't bother me as much as it would anyone," he said as he shrugged his shoulders and drove into the main part of the village that led to the streets where the houses were.

After hearing the rest of what Terra had to say, he smiled more, trying his hardest not to chuckle at it all. "You flatter me, Terra," he said with a hidden chuckle set to his throat. "And don't worry. Just that I always found it really boring to hear the teacher lecture and more easier to just write down notes. I'm not shy. And not to sound rude or conceited--you don't know me, Terra," he said as he turned his head to look at her, the entertained smile set to his lips. He saw the blush set on her cheeks and it made him smile all the more. It made her look darn cute.

Terra shook off the feeling and looked up at him "I know, but maybe I thought you were just an attractive person- I dig guys with glasses" She stuck her tounge out to be childish and laughed herself, its been a while since a real laugh.

She glanced out of the window and pointed over to the little row of shabby apartments "Thats my place, second floor- its not much but its home" Terra sounded sarcastic, she honestly hated the place but with minimum wages, and having to pay off bills, it was all her and Stephanie could afford.

She waited for him to turn into the parking, but removed his jacket from her and leaned over wrapping it around his shoulders. Terra went back to her seat and waited for him to park. "Thanks for taking me home.." She whispered.

Billy chuckled. He had never heard that comment come from anyone, especially a student. "Thanks, Terra," was all he could think of saying. He parked into the driveway of her apartment as he stopped the car and put his jacket on.

"I'm sorry you lost your jacket," he said and then wanted to facepalm himself. He felt like he had said one of the most stupid things possible to say.

He sighed and shook his head. "See you tomorrow, Terra," he said as he hung his in his palm.

Terra smirked and walked off and then threw her hand up holding two fingers up "Peace" She laughed as she entered the building and headed to her apartment. Since Stephanie had her set of keys, Terra had to grab the key from the railing above her door.

She entered and threw her bag aside, what a stressful piece of baggage it was. Terra paced quickly into her room and changed into just a simple silk robe, she was quite tired though it was only the afternoon- and because she wanted to relax as her work uniform was hang drying.

She lied onto the frumpy couch out in the small living space, that was also split for dining. Terra let out a loud groan and just let her body hang limp, my what a day, she couldn't get Billy out of her head.. Terra drifted off to sleep, she had her alarm clock set, and had it lying on the floor.

[time-jump]
Odd, Terra never had slept so well- perhaps the walking? All that mattered was she was resting well for the first time in a while. She hummed as she rolled over, but realized she wasn't on her bed and fell right onto the screeching alarm clock. Terra panicked as she realized she over slept. and rushed putting on her uniform and ran out to the cafe shop down the block.

When Billy got home, he untied his neck and took off everything, leaving him in his undershirt and boxers. After a nice long hot shower, he sat down on his bed and put in the Romeo+Juliet version with Leonardo D. in it. Before he knew it, he closed his eyes. And when he opened his eyes, it was already morning. He looked over to see that his alarm clock wouldn't go off. Something was telling him to get up and go get his breakfast earlier than usual.

Obeying his instincts, he got dressed, took his time, and slipped his green jacket on and walked to the Cafe.

Billy sat at one of the tables in the cafe shop that sat across the street from his house. He had been coming here every Thursday morning for breakfast. He was eating a little later than usual this time. He sipped his heavy-sugared and creamed coffee and little-by-little, bit his over-sized glazed donut that the shop was known for making.

He was just in the midst of grading his last paper for his English History class when the waitress came over to offer to fill up his cup. Saying that he thought he'd had enough coffee for one day, he asked for another donut. They were fresher than usual, probably because he's eating an hour earlier than what he usually eats.

For some reason, he couldn't wait for class today. Maybe it was trying out his new teaching technique.

"Hey I'm heading out- I've got class soon" Terra yelled back to her manager as she hung up her apron. She quickly went into the staff bathroom with her backpack and took off her clothes- putting on something she would wear every now and then, The jacket was slim fitting- showing her curves, and the pants being skinny for her boots to go over them. She tied her hair up in pig-tails and left the bathroom, and then to the counter "I'll be by later for my check; see you then" She turned and was suprised by a firmiliar face.

"Professor Willington? What ar-... Err.. This is strange" She walked up to his table and waved to him sort of shyly. "I didn't expect to see you here, you do know class is in about 15 minutes.." She pulled her bag onto her shoulders, and then looked out the window "There's the bus- I gotta get going" She started to the door and wanted to stay though and chat. Terra couldn't though- the bus was her only ride to class, since Stephanie was still with her mom.

"I'll see you the-" One of the other waitresses came up to her and stopped her for a moment 'Manager wants you' She whispered into Terra's ear "But I'll miss my Bus- I gotta go now!" She growled and sighed, her eyes darted over to her professor, and then back behind the counter. Terra darted to the back, and there was a group around the manager.

"I'm sorry to those of you that have been called before me, we seem to be goin outta business- so I decided that we needed to make some cuts. I apologize but the 5 of you are being let off.." The manager gave each of the workers their pay and went into his office. Terra stood there frozen for a moment and then punched the wall hard as she left from the back and slammed the door on her way out.

Terra stood on the street flagging for a taxi, for the bus had already driven off. She growled as she couldn't get anyones attention so she marched off to the bench waiting for the next bus; which was to arrive within another 15 minutes- so it would make Terra late, not only that but it also meant that she needed to walk a bit to get to her class as well. "Damn bad luck.." She grumbled under her breath.

Billy chuckled as he threw his trash away and set his cup on top of the trash can. Then he folded his newspaper and placed it back with the other newspapers. He put on his coat and walked out of the cafe and stood beside Terra.

He chuckled and looked down at Terra."You know...I can give you a ride to class. I live just across the street," he told her as he pointed to his house.

He wanted to help Terra out yet again. He felt bad. He sighed and didn't wait for a response as he just motioned for her to follow him as he waited for the traffic to stop and walked out into the street.

Terra's anger dissipated and she burst into laughter. "You know how AWKWARD it would be to see a student ride in with their professor? If you want me to ride with you, your gonna have to drag my ass to your car" She continued to laugh as she crossed her arms. She enjoyed that he was willing to help her out, she just liked to crack smart-ass remarks.

Terra smiled as she stood from the bench "Nice place you have there- I never woulda known~ You SURE you wanna be driving ME- after all, didn't I get on your nerves yesterday?" She questioned, part of her didn't feel right driving off to school with her professor. "What would other students think? We have a love-hate relationship? Or that I'm just some kiss-ass chick? Hah.. There is no way you're gonna get me to go to class with you~"

Terra winked and waved, she began walking down the street, she was ready to just cut class for the day. She looked back at Billy and blew a fake kiss "See you some other time, Teach~" She continued down the street with her bag on her shoulders- as much as Terra wanted to turn around to go to class with her Professor, she thought it might be better to just stay away for the day; unless, he was willing to do what she said and literally drag her to his car..

Billy just stood there staring at the street as Terra walked away. Then about ten seconds later, he looked at her and bit his bottom lip. The coffee and donut was beginning to kick in.

"Oh now you don't," he said as he hurried over to her and chuckled to himself as he wrapped and arm around Terra's figured waist and began dragging her back and when he let her balance, he grabbed her hand and almost literally dragged her to his car.

"I will not have one of my best students skip my class," he murmured to her as he got his keys out and unlocked car. Then he opened up the passenger's seat door and gently pushed Terra inside. Then he hurried over to his side and got in as he put the key in the ignition.

"And for the record, I'm sure you got one very last nerve of mine for a reason, love," he said as he pulled out of the driveway and was heading off the campus.

Terra smiled and blushed as she fastened her seatbelt and looked over to him, what was she feeling? Terra looked outside of the window and smirked "Love? So wait~ I'm your 'Love' now?" She glance over to him and crossed her arms, though she wanted to embarrass him- she had this butterfly feeling within her as soon as she heard him say the word love.

Terra never had a great relationship/love life.. So she wasn't so use to hearing the word 'love' in general, sometimes it would make her feel very odd. Her and Stephanie would be the ones that usually made fun of couples showing PDA.. But when it came to Terra or Stephanie getting in a relationship one or the other would harass the other girl.

She shook her head fast and changed the subject "It wouldn't matter anyway, right? Just the other day you said yourself that I barely know you- so it's the same for you; you barely know me." Terra said it in sort of a murmur as she seemed slightly disappointed.

Billy laughed hard. He shook his head and then looked at her and then back at the road. "'Love' is just a habit. It's the same as 'buddy' or 'sis' to a best friend," he assured her. He didn't know why that would come to her mind. Though he wouldn't see how he could call her 'his love'.

Don't get me wrong, she's an attractive and a smart girl...just no, he thought to himself.

When they finally got to two red lights before the campus parking lot, Billy unlocked the doors. "You can just get out now if you want. It only takes five minutes to get to the class room from here. And you got twenty minutes," he offered to her, thinking about what she said earlier about how Terra was concerned of what other students would think.

Terra smiled and nodded, she quickly exited and walked off 'what the hell is wrong with you Terra?' She asked herself but continued on. The class was in the east building, so she had time to lolly-gag in the center square. There was a crowd standing by the door to the east hall, so she assumed that they're just waiting..

Terra sat down onto the concrete bench and took out her phone which was vibrating like crazy 'Terra, I came back to the apartment and you weren't there! Please tell me you didn't go to school..' The message was from Stephanie, Terra put her phone back in her pocket ignoring the text and wondered if Willington had arrived yet.

Without waiting any longer though, she stood and walked over to the crowd "Whats goin on?" She asked curiously, until someone yanked her back hard enough to fall. The crowd then surrounded both her and this other person, they started chanting 'fight fight fight' Terra got up and brushed herself off "Isn't this a little highschool?" Her eyes glanced up, realizing who was before her.

"Older brother, isn't this a surprise.." Terra ducked as he swung a punch at her, and punched him straight into the stomach. He cringed and grabbed onto his stomach in pain "I heard you were gonna be here Terra, I wouldn't have expected a RAT like you to afford tuition." He growled, as did Terra "at least this RAT is doing something with their life" as soon as her brother recovered he went into full force to attack- but Terra was to quick for that.

"Your funny! Coming here as an excuse to see mommy at work~ When really you wanted to pick a fight with me because your JEALOUS" Terra yelled as she grasped onto her brothers arm and then swung behind his back. He hollered in pain and used his other arm to grab hold of Terra's sleeve, it surprised her, and also had her wide open. Her brother grabbed both her arms and used all his strength to throw her; and he did alright.. Terra slammed into the wall hard, and fell onto the ground panting.

"Whose stronger now bitch" He taunted her, and walked forward, Terra smirked as she took her blade from her pocket and jabbed his foot. He yelped as he retrieved his foot, and Terra swung around him restraining both his arms, and held her blade to his neck "See those up there" She was panting still but showed the security cameras from above "They'll know you attacked me first, and this was just defense" She heard a whistle from a security guard and released her brother.

"Not a chance" He smirked, and the guards escorted him away, then took Terra to the hall infront of her class to speak with her. 'I need my professor right about now..'

Billy sighed as he worked more on his book. He still had a little less than twenty minutes before his class would start. He was so glad and surprised that the Writer's Block has faded away so suddenly. He smiled as his pen in hand worked its magic.

Then he heard voices as he looked up at his door to see figures outside the hall. He let out a habbited sigh and closed his book as he got up and exited the classroom. When he saw Terra and two security guards, his heart pounded fast.

"What's going on here?" Billy commanded.
