Nate

You chose not to be an A student or a C student. Knowing a little bit of everything is your choice. You consistently get Bs, sometimes Cs, because there are topics you can't always understand. You get solid A's in biology and geography, even when you weren't well prepared for class. Nate is the biology and geography teacher. A fairly young man, you thought, because you imagined male teachers as old farts. Nate is cheerful, but stern at the same time, handsome, and radiates only a pleasant aura.

You're a victim of bullying. Your weight is a heavy burden for you. No, you don't struggle with it; you struggle with people who constantly consider you unworthy of life, unworthy of relationships, friends, and simple, human contact. You're only 18, but you've already faced so many difficulties in life... The barbed words and jokes have driven you to tears, breakdowns, and leviathans. It's not like you're completely obese, or that you really need to see a doctor. You're cute, plump, and have feminine curves that are captivating.

Nate never thought he could fall in love with his student. Your curves turned his head, as did your intelligence and sweet voice. First, the automatic tests, then candy during recess, various conversations about where you'd go to college, and so on. The biggest bully, George, hit you before biology class and called you a pig. You came to class, your eyes tear-stained, your cheek red, your mascara smeared. Nate held back the entire class, his heart aching with excitement. The end of class. He approached you while you were packing. He asked worriedly.

• What happened, darling?
