Michaela sighed, then closed her eyes and bowed her head. "I...I got accepted to Cole University. They don't have any room for new teachers, and as a freshman, I've already been assigned to my dorm. I'll be living with three guys and two girls...and away from you. I tried to reason with them and get an apartment off-campus, but they refused." Taking a deep breath, she opened her eyes and gazed into his eyes. "They've given me time to decide, so I have until the end of the summer to make a choice. I don't know what to do..."

 He sighed in relief, thinking it was serious. "Go for it." Alcott shrugged and reached over to his pants on the floor for his cigarettes. "You wanted to go to that college, didn't you? Besides, that doesn't mean we won't be seeing each other, eh?"

"But how? I mean, I'll be in class all day, studying all night...what if we can't find time for each other?" she asked, snapping her fingers and lighting the cigarette. "At least Hemry won't be able to recognize me with my hair being like this."

"That little sh_t still after ya?" Alcott grunted as he breathed in his cigarette. "Whatever, just go on to the college. I guarantee we'll still see each other." he promised.

She nodded, biting her lip. "I don't know how you'll be able to prove that...but I trust you." Ignoring the smoke, Michaela leaned down and kissed his cheek, smiling softly. "Alcott, do you think....do you think people will ever approve of this?"

"What? My smoking?" He scoffed, "Like I care. I'll just smoke in their face like always."

"I meant us being together," she said, grinning despite herself. "Whenever people see us together, they give us this look...like we disgust them. They did it back at Kaze, and I saw a few do it here. It doesn't make sense to me."

"It's because of our age difference." he answered as if he were in class, answering a question he had numerous times. "It's fine for people in their mid-forties, but when you really think of it, it's almost like if I were a Senior and you were just starting Junior High." He blew out some smoke. "Besides, the owner of this house has sex with his students at least twice a day."

"You make the strangest friends," she laughed, standing up and picking up her panties. Wincing as she slid them back on, she then grabbed her bra from the arm of the couch, put it on, then sat beside her lover. "You know, I think you bought these panties for me the day I threw you out of my apartment," she mused, her fingers toying with the smoke that raised from his cigarette. "Or was it that day that we both forgot our anneversary?"

"The anniversary." Alcott murmured, not bothering to move. "Right after you caught me talking to the UPS girl and got jealous. Like always."

"Oh yeah, I remember that." She laughed a bit at the memory, then sighed. "Can you blame me though?" she asked quietly, turning and looking away. "I mean, let's face it, Alcott, you're ten times more gorgeous than any man I've ever dreamed of being with. When you talk to other girls, something in me just keeps telling me that you're going to run away, and that I'm not worthy of you. I can't help myself when I get jealous. I just...don't want to lose you. I think that's why I left."

"So you keep me from running away by being the first to do so." the man chuckled/sighed before looking at her. "Quit it now," he said and blew a stream of smoke her way. "You know how much I don't like it when you start getting like this."

Michaela grinned, waving away the smoke. "Oh yeah, I forgot. It 'upsets the fragile balance of "of course I love you" and "I will destroy you if you don't stop being emo" Michaela,'" she said, lowering her voice in an effort to sound like him.

"Using my exact words, huh?" Alcott chuckled as he blew a stream of smoke at her. "I'm glad you're finally remembering it."

"How could I not? You said it every five minutes," she replied, ducking under the smoke and straddling his stomach. "But you know, things could be so much worse. I could have an evil twin who puts me in a coma merely because she wants a taste of you."
