EXTRA CREDIT

Sitting at the mahogany desk on the far side of the class, by the wall of windows, she sat down and as she did, made sure that all her students had their eyes glued to the individual papers and not their neighbors as she turned the dial on the egg timer all the way to the right giving the class exactly 60 minutes to write the final paper they would turn in for 65% of their final graduation credits and would for most of the students, account for 25% of their final grade which would decide whether or not that student actually went to collage or went and got a part time job. Opening the cover on her hot pink ipad cover, she logged onto her ipad and continued working on the framework for her very first rollout on the revolutionary new product, that her and her team worked the last 3 months working day and night on in preparation of this and skillfully maintained enough visual confirmation out of the corner of her crazy right eye making sure that nothing was being passed between any two students that would end up leading her down the proverbial "yellow brick road" and turned on her ipad. Ipad, they were everywhere, even her 10 year old niece had one. Her sister Tammy spent like 2 months rent getting one for Olivia just this past christmas and every other week so far since it seemed getting software or apps with Itunes to a point where Tammy had to change her password on it so that Olivia couldn't download anymore when she wasn't around. Three new email notifications popped up bringing her back to the classroom and her class, looking up she noticed the clock on the back wall and let the class know there was only 15 more minutes on their exam before opening the first of her unread messages. The first was a picture Olivia had made that she forwarded to her, the second was a cute cat video she saw on youtube and the third made a shiver go down her spine when she say the sender's email. Catching her breath, she opened it and gasped as a full frontal of her gorgeous ex (who recently broke Melanie's heart by deciding to take a job two states over) came up on screen. Quickly scrolling down, she saw there was a note,


Mel,
I know you are probably upset or hurt by the way we left things when i got the chance to come and do this job, but i am hoping you won't always be mad and remember the fun we had togather and maybe if you can afford it, come down and spend a couple weeks with me here where I'm staying once things slow down a bit cause i get a break in the filming next month well they shoot some of the other stuff with some of the other actors and some studio stuff so i will not be so busy. If you want, i mean if you can't or don't want to want that is fine too i understand but i sent you this picture of my fabulous body to remind you, in case you forgot and will wait for your reply.

Love you and miss you terribly,
Chole
XOXO
