Campus Assignment

Laura was reading the thesis file for her student guidance in the office when a WA message from the dean came in.

Dean : "Prof Laura can you come to the dean's room now? I have something to talk to you about."

Laura : "Okay sir. Now I'm going there."

Laura immediately rushed to the dean's room on the 2nd floor above the FKH campus lobby. She didn't know what the problem was so she was called by the dean this morning. Hopefully it's not about her closeness to James, but it should be impossible because she's never had intense contact with James while on campus.

Knock knock.

"Yes please come in," cried Prof Charles from inside the dean's room.

"Excuse me Professor Charles," Laura said and sat down at the dean's desk.

"Well, Prof. Laura, this morning I received an email from Thailand. An invitation to a symposium for PA Lab lecturers. The campus must send at least one person to represent FKH UGM to take part in the event," said Prof Charles explaining the purpose of calling Laura to the dean's office.

"May I know when is the schedule for the Symposium, Prof?" Laura asked.

"The event is on Tuesday next week. Sorry suddenly Prof. Laura, it seems the email was originally spam, so the Thai's resend the email this morning. How about Prof. Laura, can you leave? The accommodation will be fully covered by the campus," said Prof Charles again.

Laura opened the work agenda on her cellphone and answered. "I can go, Prof. Charles. For the class schedule, there are actually 6 sessions next week, but I will make a PDF on the campus website for students to study on their own and also about assignments, of course."

"Well done Prof Laura, I'm counting on you for this Symposium. Thank you," replied Prof Charles with a relieved smile.

"Don't hesitate, Prof. Charles, it's my job. Can you forward the symposium invitation email to my email? Maybe there's something I need to prepare...," Laura said again.

"Okay, I will immediately forward the email to Prof. Laura," replied Prof. Charles then sent an email from his laptop.

"Did Prof Laura get in the email?"

"Ahh already Prof Charles. Well then I'll say goodbye Prof." Laura said goodbye and left the dean's room.

Laura also walked through the corridor of the Clinical Pathology Lab and waited for the elevator to go down to the 1st floor. When the elevator opened there were already other elevator passengers but there was still enough room for Laura to enter.

"Which floor are you going to, Ma'am?" asked Mr. Udin.

"1st floor Sir." Laura answered briefly.

"But this goes up first and then the elevator goes down. Hehehe..." said Mr. Udin, chuckling looking at Laura with his flirtatious eyes.

"It's okay Sir, I'm not in a hurry." Laura replied flatly without looking at Mr. Udin but focused on the number indicating the floor of the elevator that stopped on the 4th floor.

Ting. The elevator opened.

Students rushed into the elevator and there was James also among the group of students. James got in first and stood in the corner of the elevator next to Laura and cleared his throat, smiling to himself.

Mr. Udin suddenly felt annoyed because he remembered the boy who failed his plan to prank Mrs. Laura that night.

Ting. The elevator finally reached the 1st floor.

All the elevator passengers immediately rushed out because this hour was rush hour. On the 1st floor, there were already many people queuing and scrambling to get in.

Laura rushed to the PA Lab because she had many things to prepare before leaving for Thailand in a few days. She didn't say hello to James either. James watched Laura leave with a bit of disappointment. Laura was so cold in his mind.

"Hey you just daydream Bro!" Deon exclaimed while patting James on the back.

"Don't bother me," said James briefly, still looking at Laura's figure who entered behind the door of the PA Lab.

"Haisshh instead pay attention to Mrs. Laura. Just take care of your classmates, you just have to choose. Bro, here is a letter from fans," chattered Deon as he handed over a pink letter.

James accepted the letter reluctantly. "What is this? Since when did you become a postman sending letters like this?" Deon chuckled in annoyance as he followed James to the campus cafeteria.

"Since the handsome brother James has a hobby of blocking the WA numbers of his big fans."

James remembered that there were so many unclear numbers that he had blocked because they were noisy sending chats asking for close friends. Anyway, he's lazy because of wasting time. He is not an artist and does not need imagery, moreover he is anti-dating. It was very troublesome, he thought after seeing his friends who were dating, his college grades always couldn't be optimal like he was almost always A.

"Ehh Bro, you want to register as a PA Lab assistant?" asked Deon while ordering the breakfast menu which was a bit late because it was almost lunchtime.

"I don't know yet. I'm afraid I won't have time. Prof Widya this morning said he wanted to invite another collab for research for masters. The romance will be overtime again," said James sounding a little confused.

Deon became curious about his friend's behavior. "Why do you really want to be a PA Lab assistant? I suspect I'm genuine... Do you want to be close to Mrs. Laura, right?"

James choked on the iced tea he was drinking and coughed.

Deon immediately patted James on the back while bursting into laughter. "I guess my guess was right." Deon said with a laugh.

James's face was turning red with embarrassment. Got a gap friend. "Wow, don't be loud, it's going to be unclear gossip," said James warning Deon.

Deon gestured to close his mouth. Then continue to interrogate his friend. "Then how does Mrs. Laura want to not be approached by you?"

"Haisss, it's reoccurring!" James said not wanting to answer Deon's question.

"James ... James, you have crazy taste, you know? She's on a different level with us and you guys are more than 10 years apart in age. It's like Raffi Ahmad is dating Yuni Shara," said Deon slapped his forehead in disbelief.

James listened to Deon's chatter, but he knew exactly what he was feeling in his heart. Last night when they slept together felt so comfortable, his heart felt warm and peaceful. His kiss with Laura was so exciting and made him addicted to wanting more and more.

He also remembered to send a WA message to Laura. "Hello my Honey. What are you busy with?" type James.

Laura, who was busy arranging next week's lecture material, stopped for a moment to read the WA that had just entered, it was from James. She also smiled and replied "Hey Baby Boy, busy preparing material for next week's lecture. Monday night going to Thailand."

James was a little surprised to read Laura's reply chat.

"Wow, why do you look so surprised, James?" asked Deon, still chewing his food.

"It's nothing," said James flatly.

He also replied to a chat from Laura. "How come you came to Thailand so suddenly, what's wrong Honey? You didn't run away from me, did you? "

Laura giggled reading James's reply and typed again. "I ran away from a monster who likes to kidnap girls at night and is locked up in the apartment ...."

It wasn't long before James's reply came back. "Haiishh stubborn even teased. Really, what happened suddenly to Thailand?"

Laura answered again. "There is a campus assignment from Prof. Charles, the Anatomical Pathology symposium is scheduled for Tuesday tomorrow. Since it's really tight to make lecture materials to leave next week, I'll be busy all day. That's it ... "

James just replied OK. He also remembered that his lover always forgot to eat lunch. He also opened the GoFood application and ordered his regular Nasi Padang menu with fried potato cakes and grilled chicken, he thought it would be delicious. Done.

James and Deon also left the campus cafeteria and headed to the next class, where there was a Pharmacology and Chemotherapy course of 3 credits. They chose to sit in the front row as usual so they could focus on their studies. The middle row to the back is usually filled with students who don't pay attention to lectures and also seniors who repeat.
