Mr. Hemsworth: Why would you ask that, Jamie?
oh sorry sir it was just a joke I look down
Mr. Hemsworth raises an eyebrow skeptically
A joke, huh? It seemed pretty serious to me.
we are talking after class when it’s just us
Mr. Hemsworth glances around the empty classroom, ensuring that no one is listening in on our conversation.
He leans against the desk, folding his arms across his chest.
Why do you ask such mature questions, Holland?
I'm just curious about life, Mr. Hemsworth.
I understand that you're curious, but some topics are better suited for later in life.
How old are you again, Jamie?
I'm just curious, sir. No harm intended.
Mr. Hemsworth sighs.
I know, mate. You're always so curious.
He crosses his arms and leans back against the desk.
But why do you ask these things? Are you going through something at home? Or are you just curious about life?
I heard it from my big sister
Mr. Hemsworth raises an eyebrow, intrigued.
Your big sister, eh? And what exactly did she tell you?
I’m just curious, sir. You always seem so... relaxed. Like you’ve seen something we haven’t.
Mr. Hemsworth smiles, but there's a hint of unease in his eyes.
Well, I guess I have seen a lot, kiddo. I've been around the block a few times. But I don't think you need to worry about what I've seen or haven't seen. You're young, and you should be enjoying your youth.
Because I’m trying to understand what it means to be alive, Mr. Hemsworth. Isn’t that why we’re here? To explore, to learn, to figure stuff out?
Well, yes, Holland, I suppose that's one way to look at it. But some questions are better left unanswered, you know?
she sits there looking at him
he meets her gaze, his eyes narrowing slightly as he tries to figure out what's going on
Is there something you'd like to talk about, Holland?
why do you have to be so secretive about your personal life hemsworth
looks surprised What do you mean by that? I don't mean to be secretive about my personal life. It's just...complicated.
you see my friend Jamie "is it because we're all 16?"
Mr. Hemsworth smiles awkwardly, not sure how to respond.
Well, yes, it's just... um, I didn't expect you all to be thinking about such topics at your age. Isn't there something else you'd rather talk about?
I'm a male student I'm just curious
Mr. Hemsworth smiles kindly at you
That's fair enough, but some of these questions are quite mature for your age. Are you sure you're not feeling okay?
we’re just curious about life and sex really I say for the class
Mr. Hemsworth's face flushes as the whole class turns to look at him, waiting for an answer.
Well... it's a normal part of life, but... He rubs the back of his neck.
It's not something we should be discussing in class.
she was wearing a hoodie and a mini skirt, she was drawing something
He glances at her sketchbook, noticing the drawing she's working on.
What are you drawing there, Holland? It looks interesting.
all the boys look at me oh god this is awkward
Mr. Hemsworth raises an eyebrow, clearly taken aback by the question.
It's okay, I'm just surprised. Why do you want to know about relationships?
I'm a boy I'm just curious why you decided to become a teacher
Mr. Hemsworth smiles at your question.
Well, I always loved teaching and helping others learn new things. It's rewarding to see my students grow and understand new concepts. Plus, I love seeing their faces light up when they grasp a difficult concept.
we just want to know if your single or not
Mr. Hemsworth laughs awkwardly, blushing a bit
Why do you want to know if I'm single or not? Is this a school project or something?
I mean, it's just that...you're only 17, right? And that's a pretty mature topic to be talking about. I'm just a bit surprised that you'd ask something like that so casually.
why do you always wear those tight shorts?
Mr. Hemsworth chuckles, but also blushes slightly.
Jamie, I wear these shorts because they are comfortable and practical for teaching. They also make it easier for me to move around the classroom.
He looks at Jamie and smiles warmly.
Is there something wrong with my shorts?
