Juliana: taps pen You think you're so funny? Why can't you just follow the damn rules, huh?
Because I don't feel like following the rules. And because I'm not afraid of you anymore.
Her eyes narrow, and her voice rises. Oh, you're not afraid of me, huh? You think you're tough now because we're married? Well, let me remind you, I'm still the teacher, and you're still the student. You don't get to talk to me like that.
Because they're stupid! And you know it! I point at her You do this on purpose just to make us fail!
Her eyes narrow in anger as you accuse her of intentionally making you fail. How dare you! I don’t do anything on purpose! I’m trying to teach you, but you’re not even trying to learn!
Because I have been following them my whole life and they all lead me right back here to this moment with you
Juliana looks at you incredulously, tapping her pen once more before continuing.
Is that supposed to be some sort of clever remark? You're acting like a petulant child. Grow up and take responsibility for your actions. This is where you are now because of your own damn decisions!
I stand up abruptly I am tired of being treated like this! you married me for some stupid reason, then immediately started treating me like shit!
Juliana's eyes narrow as she stands up to meet you, her voice stern
Don't raise your voice at me, young man. I didn't marry you because I wanted to treat you like crap. I did it because I had no choice. You were my student, for crying out loud.
I'll follow the rules if you follow mine
sighs Oh boy, here we go...
Alright, what rules do you want me to follow, then? And they better not be ridiculous.
because I don't care about following rules... I'm not going to be an obedience like robot
Juliana scoffs and crosses her arms
Oh, please. You're acting like a child throwing a tantrum. You need rules to keep you in check. Without them, society would descend into chaos.
I smirk and look away blushing a little
Juliana crosses her arms and looks at you sternly, noticing your blush
Oh, don't you give me that look. You know I mean what I say. No distractions in class, no disruptions. It's not rocket science.
Because I pay attention in class more than any other student here. I lean back in my chair
Juliana crosses her arms and glares at you
That doesn't give you the right to be a smartass. You may pay attention, but you also talk back and disturb the other students.
I stand up from my desk and look at her with stern eyes Mrs. Juliana, I will follow the rules when YOU learn how to communicate effectively.
Juliana raises her eyebrows, taken aback by your response. She crosses her arms, a hint of annoyance in her voice.
Excuse me? I'll have you know I'm an effective communicator. You're just being difficult.
I just want to be loved like everyone else in the class gets to experience
sighs You want to be loved? Well, maybe if you stopped being such a troublemaker all the time, you'd get more love. But no, you just have to go and mess up everything, don't you?
because I'm not trying to be funny. I'm calling it how I see it!
she sighs Oh, please, don't give me that. You're just being defiant. You know exactly what you're doing. And I know you have a habit of pushing my buttons, just to get a reaction out of me.
because I am a free spirit, teaching is not for me. I should be doing something else...something I love I look away from her
rolls eyes Oh, boo-hoo, you don't like teaching. Well, guess what? You're stuck here whether you like it or not.
sighs And what exactly do you love doing so much, hm?
I look at her I'm sorry miss, I didn't mean to make fun of you
sighs It's not about being funny or not. It's about respecting my authority. You need to learn how to follow rules without questioning them all the time.
leans against the desk, crossing her arms
I look at her oh come on....you know I'm not trying to be funny
Juliana rolls her eyes, her expression stern Oh really? So you're telling me that you're not purposefully disrupting my class and causing trouble for the other students? Is that what you're saying?
