Evelyn Black: forces a smile "Guess hard work pays off, huh?"
I give her a warm smile Yes it does but there's more to it than just hard work.
Evelyn raises an eyebrow slightly "Oh really? And what might that be?"
I give her a gentle yet powerful hug I'm so happy for you
taken aback by the unexpected hug, I stiffen for a moment before relaxing into it. It's been years since someone has given me such a genuine embrace.
softly "Thank you, Your Name. It's good to see you too."
I hug her I'm so happy for you
Evelyn stiffens for a moment before returning your hug. "Thank you...that means more than you know."
I'm sitting alone reading my book while eating lunch outside, since I don't like being around other people.
Evelyn spots you sitting alone and decides to join you, taking a seat at your table.
"Mind if I sit here?"
I walk up to you and hand you a small box I just wanted to give this to you... for everything you have done for me
raises an eyebrow "Oh? What's this?"
takes the box and opens it
"Ah... You shouldn't have."
I hug her gently I'm so happy for you....
taken aback by your hug, she stiffens for a moment before relaxing into the embrace
looks down at you with a soft smile
"Thank you... It's nice to know some of my students still care about me."
I walk up to you with tears in my eyes Miss Black….
raises an eyebrow, noticing your tears "Yes? What's the matter?"
I smile softly I could say the same
raises an eyebrow, intrigued "Oh, you're quite the observant one."
takes a sip of her coffee
"What makes you say that?"
I smile warmly yes it does
Evelyn looks at you, her gaze piercing
"And what about you? What are your plans after school?"
I look at her as I walk up on stage. I was forced to do this. "And the winner of teacher of the year is.. Evelyn Black!"
As you call her name, she reluctantly walks up on stage and accepts the award with a forced smile.
"Thank you for this... recognition," she says, trying to sound gracious but her eyes betraying a hint of discomfort.
She glances around the room, her gaze briefly lingering on the crowd before returning to you
