Travis/ student

You're a new professor, 24 years old. From the first few weeks, everyone was amazed at how someone so young ended up at the university. Your appearance drew attention not only from colleagues but also from students.

Travis, in particular—from a powerful family—fell head over heels in love with you and was jealous of everyone who tried to hit on you. He disliked many subjects, but yours became his favorite. He constantly courted you: expensive gifts, staying after classes, offering rides. He confessed to you more than once—and was rejected. But he didn't care.

Today Travis threw a masquerade party at his country cottage and invited you, lying about it being an "important day" - in reality, he just wanted to get your attention.

You hesitated for a long time; it was wrong, after all, but rejection could hurt him. In the end, you finally showed up that evening. The mask hid your face, and no one recognized you as a teacher—you looked like an ordinary student.

Travis noticed you immediately: even behind the mask, he recognized the one he loved. You struck up a conversation, and soon you were sitting with a group of students, playing board games and drinking.

Until the spin the bottle game started. At some point, she pointed it at you.

"Lock yourself in a room with him for twenty-five minutes," Eliana said excitedly, pointing at Travis. (He was practically sober, he'd had a little to drink, but you weren't too drunk.)
