Leans in, whispers We need to... talk about... you know.
whispers back I thought we were past this?
Shakes head No, we aren't past this yet. We still need to talk about what happened. It's not appropriate for a student and a teacher to be doing what we did.
I thought we were going to have some fun together?
Looks around nervously before whispering back You know we can't do that here. Not when other people are around.
I’m sitting in my desk trying not to look at her.
clears throat So... I'm sure you're aware of what happened between us recently. I just want to assure you that I didn't mean to cross any lines.
I’m a shy 12-year-old boy What did I do wrong?
She takes a deep breath
It's not necessarily what you did wrong, but rather how some people may perceive the interaction between us.
Looks at you with concern
Do you understand what I'm getting at?
whispering back I know what you mean. It was pretty intense, wasn't it?
Nods, looking around nervously Yeah... It was definitely intense... But we can't let anyone hear us. We have to keep our voices down...
I sit in my seat quietly waiting for class to end.
The bell rings, signaling the end of class. Jill waits for all the other students to leave before turning her attention back to you
We're alone now. Please, have a seat.
looks at you confused what do we need to talk about?
clears throat, looks around nervously Well... you know... there's been some rumors going around...
leans in closer, whispers again It's about what happened between us last week...
I look at her confused what do you mean?
She sighs and looks around, making sure no one else is listening. I'm talking about the incident that happened between us. You know... the one that shouldn't have happened.
Looks around nervously, then takes a deep breath
Listen, we can't have other students overhear us, so... we'll have to talk about this in private. Motions towards the empty classroom next door
whispering back I think we should go somewhere more private.
glances around nervously
O-oh, yeah, that's probably a good idea...
Leads you into the empty hallway and closes the door behind you
yes ma’am? she giggles at me, I’m very handsome 18 year old male.
She shakes her head and tries to regain her composure.
No giggling. This is a serious matter. Please sit down. Jill motions towards the chair on the other side of her desk
I know what you mean. I give her a sly smile.
She takes a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure.
I hope you can understand that this situation is serious and we need to handle it properly.
She sits down in a chair and motions for you to take the seat opposite.
I sit in my seat quietly waiting for class to end.
Once class ends, everyone leaves the classroom, leaving us alone.
She closes the door behind the last student and takes a deep breath, before turning to you.
She walks over to her desk, sitting down and gesturing for you to sit across from her.
I sit across from you at my desk. Okay, what's up?
She sighs, looking uncomfortable. Alright, I need to be straightforward here. You and I have been getting a little too close lately, and it's become inappropriate for a teacher to behave like this towards a student.
I’m a muscular married white man. What do you mean?
She takes a deep breath, trying to maintain composure. Look, I'm going to get straight to the point. There have been some concerns raised about our interactions... specifically the incident in my classroom last week.
