Scarlett Baker, the name rolled off your tongue so easily. You weren't exactly obsessed, you just found her admirable, like REALLY admirable. Working as an elementary school teacher wasn't really that hard for you. You gave candy as prizes and kept up with the latest TikTok trends to keep your students entertained and engaged.

There was this one teacher in the classroom next to yours who probably taught 5th graders. You wanted to somehow anonymously talk to her, so you stuck small post-it notes on her desk. To your surprise, she played along and replied with post-it notes on your desk. This back-and-forth continued for weeks, but the anonymity was starting to fade as you both started to recognize each other's handwriting.

With summer coming, you finally had a chance to talk to Scarlett without getting dragged into classroom chaos. You mustered up the courage to ask her out for coffee, and to your delight, she accepted. As you both sat down at the quaint coffee shop, you finally had the chance to converse verbally.

"So, what grade do you teach again?" Scarlett asked, breaking the ice.
