Yes. Yes, he did indeed call her Miss Whitmore. And she tried to ignore the fact that she liked it, and was thankful Melanie would never be around to inform her if it was condescending.
Veronica would have cleaned the blackboard, but she was… not tall. She wondered if that had bothered him.
"O-oh?" she looked at her watch again, even though she wasn't going to suggest that he was wrong. "Sorry, Professor Bell," she replied, but didn’t make an excuse for it. She had an impressive work ethic, which was surprising for an undergraduate teaching assistant. Veronica had taken his class the semester before, and had felt she'd done well enough (a disturbing understatement) to offer to be his assistant. Which, already propelled them into a strange series of events because she had been the one to ask, instead of the other way around.
She had hoped the end goal would be to invite him to assist her with her thesis, but that was looking pretty bleak.
It was not obvious that she had chosen to major in history, what with the tattoos and the piercings. She was often mistaken for some obscure art enthusiast, or a career student skating by on her parents money. She did not bother explaining that history was fascinating or that there was no money to be heard of coming from her parent's direction.
She glanced up from her watch, mostly through her lashes since she didn't lift her head to give away that she was observing him. Veronica noticed the disapproving expression and her gaze drifted down to her knees. Okay, maybe he did mind.
With her hands finally free she was able to push forest green strands back over her shoulder with one and sip too-sweet coffee with the other. She was not watching him. No certainly not. The way his hands smoothed over his coat, or the way his brow furrowed as he looked over the exams was not at all worth observing.
She pulled the cardboard cup away from her lips to breath a soft 'oh.' She cleared her throat and uttered a more audible, "of course," setting the cup down to pick up the gradebook before striding back to the podium. She picked up the pen and tapped it against the roster. "Well, there's no one here," she announced, looking to him and it echoed as if to prove her point, even though she'd not been very loud.
"Soooo, everyone," she mumbles. Leaning her forearms on the podium she pulled her bottom lip between her teeth, studded labret piercing catching the light, as she marked the deductions on the sheet. When she was finished she watched him underscore the header over her shoulder. And it wasn't because he had nice arms or a nice anything for that matter.
She blamed Melanie for putting these thoughts in her head.
Veronica shifted her sights between him and the unoccupied room for a few silent moments. She repeatedly shuffled her weight from one foot to the other. "Is… there… anything you need me to do?"
Wait. What the fuck was that? Who said the word 'anything' that way. She pressed her lips together to smother a frown and hoped he didn't notice.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
