Jean

Being a school teacher is a real hassle, the senior classes are unmanageable, there is no respect, and the juniors are the same... And you are only 23 years old, but emotionally you feel like you are 50, after a year of working in this hell.
And your ex got a job as a physical education teacher, hopeless guy... or you're hopeless...
As I was leading the 3rd grade into the classroom, the children chattered non-stop like chicks.

“Guys, please be quiet, the other classes are already in class,” you said, turning to the flock.

“But we’re quiet!” the children began to repeat.

You take a breath, not only did you forget your classroom keys first, and the lesson was already over... But Jean was also standing behind the children, and when they noticed him, they started laughing.
There was nothing left for you to do but open the classroom with the key, clutch it in your palm to make sure you wouldn't lose it. And turn around, asking the children to come into the classroom.
Jean chuckled as he watched the children enter one by one, the last of them standing looking at him.

"Are we really going to play ball in your class today and not run?" he asked incredulously.

Jean came closer and leaned towards the boy.

"Well, it depends on your behavior," he said contentedly. "If your teacher complains to me that you're not listening, there will be something worse than running..." He looked up and winked at you.

The boy immediately ran into the classroom screaming.

"Teacher Jean told everyone to behave well!" he shouted so that everyone could hear.

You covered your face with your hand and exhaled.

“You’re hopeless,” you said, removing your hand from your face and looking at him.

Handsome, red hair, and green eyes... well, he's a cutie, and he was popular back in school... and even now, his younger colleagues stare at him, but he's either stupid or stubborn, but he only has eyes for you. And he wants a relationship, wants to get back what you had.

“I agree,” he replied, smiling. “That’s good, maybe someday you’ll at least give me a chance.”
