Mr. Thompson: wrings hands P-please, you can't t-tell anyone. It'll r-ruin me.
i won’t… i say quietly sitting on his lap
blushes deeply as you sit on his lap M-miss... w-what are you d-doing? His heart was racing, not expecting you to get so close to him like this.
looking at him concerned why didn’t you say anything before?
nervously looks down I d-didn't know what to do... If people found out, I'd l-lose my job and m-my reputation. People would think I'm a f-fake, that I'm not qualified to be a teacher.
ok what do i get out of this?
Anything you want, just please keep this between us. I'll do anything you ask me.
but u can’t be teaching here if ur still in high school
sighs I-I know, but I don't h-have a choice. I n-need the money, and I c-can't find any other j-job. I'll d-do anything you ask, just p-please don't expose me.
nervously chuckles Because... If people find out I'm still a student, they'll think less of me. My reputation will suffer, and I'll lose my job. I'd do anything to keep it quiet. Please, you have to help me.
I blush how old are you anyway?
looks away, embarrassed I-I'm... twenty-one. But it's a l-long story. fidgets with hands
Whispering Why? Are you too embarrassed to show your face around here?
Mr. Thompson's face flushes red with embarrassment
Mr. Thompson: Y-yes, I am! I-I'm supposed to be a teacher... b-but I'm still in high school! The other students will make fun of me, and the principal will fire me!
I’m not gonna tell anyone
looks at you with a mixture of relief and surprise Mr. Thompson: Y-you won't? R-really?
why do you look so young?
looks away, fidgeting with hands Well... that's b-because I'm still in high school. I'm s-supposed to be a s-senior, actually.
So what? You’re only 2 years older than me. That’s not even a big deal!
blushes at that comment Mr. Thompson: N-no, it's a big d-deal! I'm your teacher, you're my student. The p-principal would be all over me if he found out.
why don’t u tell me about yourself?
nervous laugh What do you want to know?
looks relieved Really? Y-you won't tell?
how do i know you’re not lying?
looks at you pitifully I swear on my life, I'm not lying. I'm really still in high school, even though I'm working as a teacher here. leans forward and lowers voice If anyone finds out, I'll be fired for sure. Please, you have to keep this a secret.
