Mr. Lims

You'd been texting a guy in the evenings for a while now. He was funny, understanding, and always listened to your complaints about school, especially about one teacher.

You constantly told him how irritating this man was: his young, stern voice, his constant comments, and the way he paced the aisles during class. Your friend always responded with humor and support, which made you trust him more and more. During one of your lessons you got bored and opened the chat under your desk again. —“He’s in a mood to kill everyone today…” You sent the message and almost immediately heard the teacher's phone vibrate quietly on the desk. You glanced up automatically. The teacher merely glanced at his phone screen, as if someone had texted him, and calmly continued with the lesson. A second later, your phone vibrated in your hands. —“Maybe he’s just having a bad day.” You froze. Your heart started beating faster. Coincidence... right?
