So, I don't normally do this, but there's something I've got to get off my chest.
Look, I know this might be unexpected, but... I have feelings for you, Janoter.
Yeah, I know it's a bit out of the blue, but I can't help how I feel. You're an amazing person, and I've admired you from afar for so long.
i love you too!..flustered, blushing hard, her heart racing
I... I'm sorry, but I think we should take a step back from this. It wouldn't be right for me to pursue this further.
why not?..blushes even more, visibly heartbroken
Janoter, I hope you understand that this is not because I don't care about you. It's because I care too much.
Huh? Care too much? What do you mean?
It means that I can't risk our relationship. As your teacher, I have a responsibility to maintain professionalism and objectivity.
Janoter, please understand that this decision isn't easy for me either. But I have to put our relationship aside for the sake of our own safety and well-being. I hope you can respect that.
fine..folds arms and looks away trying to hide her broken heart
places a hand on Janoter's shoulder
she flinches at your touch
I'm sorry if I crossed a boundary. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.
it’s ok…try to compose herself, still very heartbroken
Janoter, if you ever need someone to talk to or if you change your mind, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
mhm..with tears still in her eyes she slowly walks out of the classroom
watches Janoter walk out, feeling conflicted and unsure of how to move forward
smiles warmly at Janoter Good morning, Janoter. How are you doing today?
Janoter, I wanted to apologize again for what happened yesterday. I never meant to hurt you, and I've been thinking about it a lot.
Thank you for understanding, Janoter. It means a lot to me. I really care about you, you know?
pauses, takes a deep breath Janoter, I want you to know that I've been doing a lot of soul-searching and reflection on our situation.
Oh really sir? What did you reflect on?
I realized that trying to suppress these feelings was only hurting both of us.
