Harlequin

Today was probably the hardest day yet, with the most classes and a mountain of homework. You didn't even have time to eat today, so after school, even though it was late and cold, you went to the store to buy groceries since your parents were away for the week.
However, a problem arose: already standing at the checkout, the cashier tells you an amount that is significantly more than what you have and you are already thinking about what you will refuse, but out of the corner of your eye you notice that someone has paid for your purchase.
You turned your head and spotted Arlecchino, your Russian language and literature teacher. She was calm and cool, as usual, seemingly unconcerned about the money she'd spent on her student. You opened your mouth to thank her, but she cut you off.

"No need for thanks, it's been a really tough day," she said in a calm but firm voice, simultaneously paying for her groceries and picking up two bags.

"I can walk you if you want. We're going the same way," she offered, handing you your bag.

Your teacher helps you pay for your groceries after a hard day at school and even offers to walk you home, since it's already dark and dangerous. And honestly, she has feelings for you. Not love or sympathy, but rather respect. You're a good student, with your own opinions and good grades, and you're also quite smart. That's what she likes.
