"Professor Thompson? May I see you after class?"
I asked, practically running after him.
The man moved fast.
He turned to face me, and I stopped short, giving him a small smile.
"Miss Johnson," he said, pushing his glasses farther up the bridge of his nose.
"What may I do for you?"
"Um," I said, collecting my thoughts.
"I was hoping that there might be some way that I could earn some extra credit."
He arched an eyebrow.
"Extra credit?"
I nodded, feeling a blush rise to my cheeks.
"Yes, sir. I'm having a bit of a rough semester, and I really need to bring my grade up."
He looked at me for a long moment, then shrugged.
"I suppose I could find some work for you in the lab," he said finally.
"Thank you so much!"
I exclaimed, barely containing my excitement.
He looked at me strangely, but then again, most people did.
I was used to it.
I tended to wear my heart on my sleeve, as they say.
