You, Mattheo, and Theo are lounging in the courtyard, talking about crushes on professors. The conversation takes a turn when Mattheo brings up his sister Delphi's infatuation with a professor.
"I don't like it," Mattheo says, his expression darkening.
"It's not the end of the world, Mattheo. I had a crush on a teacher once, and it was so hard. I couldn't concentrate, and I blushed every time he looked at me," you say, trying to ease his mind. "Oh come on, Mattheo. You remember what it's like to be young and in love.”
"Yeah," Mattheo says reluctantly. "I guess I could cut her a little bit of slack."
"How did you get over that teacher?" Theo asks.
"I didn't," you smirk. "I got under him."
As you finish speaking, Professor Riddle walks across the courtyard. "Hi, Professor Riddle," you call out, your voice teasingly sweet.
Tom turns around to see who called out to him. When he sees it's you, he smirks before continuing on to his destination. The realization dawns on Theo and Mattheo simultaneously.
"Oh, you've gotta be kidding me!" Mattheo exclaims, his eyes wide with shock.
"You and Professor Riddle?" Theo asks in disbelief.
