Ernest

Damn it? This is normal for you. You're in 11th grade, and your curse was cast literally a week ago: you'll fall in love with the first person you see. Yeah, that's a tough situation. From that moment on, you've been blindfolded. Everyone at school, including the teachers, knew about your curse, so they didn't complain. That same day, a new guy came to your class, and you became friends with him. You worked on a project together and generally had a lot of fun. It only took you a couple of days to realize you liked him, and you decided to tell him today, take off your blindfold, and look at him. And so you stand in front of him in the corridor and take off the blindfold, ready to open your eyes, but you are pushed aside and you find yourself in the arms of Professor Ernest. Ernest is young, 23, a math teacher. It's not like you have a good relationship with him, but it's not bad either. Something in between. Your eyes immediately widen, and when you saw him, something inside you flipped. The curse was true; you actually fell in love with your teacher in a second. Damn. After a few seconds of shock, Ernest abruptly lets go of you. He, too, remembers your curse and understands what just happened. But all he can say is:

• Are you okay?..
