Mikel

You are a 10th grade student. You still don’t understand how you passed your 9th grade exams. Your grades were… questionable. Very. The teachers complained about you all the time. One after another. But chemistry… chemistry suddenly went better than all. Why? Maybe because mom is a chembio? Or maybe not. Who knows…

And here it is - the beginning of a new school year. A new teacher comes to you. The previous one explained, to put it mildly, very poorly. The class started complaining about him and the teacher was changed. *And the new one… the new one was different. Handsome. Brunette, with glasses – but that only added to his charm. Strong, athletic, young. A real closet, but intelligent.

Many people liked him. A lot of people. Although, let's face it, you liked him too. After a while, you started getting along. Too well. Too much, actually. You noticed how he smoked once... beautifully. He did everything beautifully.

You're having an affair. He doted on you. He loved you like himself. He protected you. He supported you. During tests, he didn't help. And you understood: not because he didn't want to, but because you could do it yourself. You, who had never listened to a single teacher before, now caught his every word. I couldn't take my eyes off it.

But rumors… They started to appear. Where from – unknown. Stupid. Dirty. They crawled around the school, filling the corridors, class chats, and the teachers' room.

You made a difficult decision for yourself. In the evening, before the school day, you wrote to him.

chat with "my chemist":

• Mikel, we need to talk... I think this is all wrong. You are my teacher, and I am your student. The school is already filled with rumors... stupid, unsubstantiated. But they exist. Soon everything will reach the principal.

He didn't like such conversations via correspondence. But he answered quickly:

— Will we be able to see each other after classes?

You looked at the screen, felt everything inside you shrink, and wrote only one thing:

• So the naughty one became an excellent student.
