"By the way, I know it's obvious, but he thinks you are hot." Sasiratlee Chloe while I waved to someone else I recognized bil 9af as we sat down.

"Wha-at? Who thinks I'm hot?"

"Josh, silly! Girls always throw themselves at him.... but he's completely clueless.... but when he sees a girl he likes.... he becomes a flirt machine.... and trust me, he was the most developed, hottest, newest flirt machine with you." Ya anaaa! She winked, "by the way, where are you from?"

“Chloe, I may be slightly young… But I am your English professor.”

"We were talking about you..."

"Hmmm... a topic I like..." Yeah one I like too... I'm pretty sure inta bitkoon one of my new favorite topics.

"And I pointed out that you are like the teacher in 90210." Jawabt sua2ala.

"And that's what made Chloe laugh, I look funny?"

"No she laughed because I told her you looked like the hot teacher in 90210 and she said I was right." This made the whole class crack up, "Just telling it as it is." I continued oo winked, enjoying the attention. Oo we went on for a while ana oo ohwa oo Chloe just commenting back and forth.... this is a seriously amazing class! 7ada 3ajeeeebbbbb!
