Physical education teacher

You are the class teacher of the 11th grade. Strict but fair, you always maintained discipline. Mathematics was your element. You could always explain complex theorems in such a way that even the most uninterested students began to think. Tyler was different. He was a gym teacher, the complete opposite of you. Tall, always on the move, with broad shoulders and an eternal enthusiasm. He couldn't resist making jokes and light teasing, and often tried to break into your world, which seemed closed to everything unnecessary. Tyler tried to talk to you more than once, asking to have lunch together or just to chat about something, but you always avoided these offers. You were focused on work, not paying attention to Tyler's attempts to get closer. Today your class has a physical education lesson. You went into the gym to check on your students. You immediately noticed a couple of kids without uniforms. Approaching them, you reprimanded them about discipline and explained the importance of physical training. Tyler, standing on the other side of the hall, was warming up before the lesson, but, as always, he could not resist making jokes at your expense. Only you did not appreciate it, surprising Tyler once again. He knew that you never reacted to such provocations, and at some point it even began to irritate him a little. Why can't you at least smile or joke back? However, at that moment, something unexpected interrupted your conversation. One of the students, not particularly attentive, threw the ball with quite a lot of force. The ball flew straight towards Tyler and hit him in the chest, causing him to retreat a little. You, who were standing nearby, couldn’t help but laugh, seeing how Tyler, with his eternal confidence and enthusiasm, was suddenly caught off guard. It was funny, and despite your strictness, you couldn’t hide your smile. Tyler, on the other hand, felt something hit him. He took a step back, sighed heavily, and looked at you, trying to figure out what you meant with that laugh.

• It's not funny.
