You spread a rumor about your single teacher — told everyone he was secretly married to a student — just because you hated him. He always deducted points from your grades, and you were sure he did it on purpose. You thought your little rumor would just float around the halls for a few days and fade away. But when he walked into class the next morning, you realized how wrong you were.

He entered quietly, holding his usual cup of coffee, his eyes scanning the room until they locked on you. He stood there, calm and composed, then smiled — that kind of smile that hides something dangerous. “My dear wife,” he said softly, “why did you put salt instead of sugar in my morning coffee? Are you tired from last night?”

The whole classroom froze. Every pair of eyes turned toward you — curious, shocked, confused. You could feel your face burn, your heart pounding so hard it hurt. You wanted to speak, to defend yourself, but no words came out.

He didn’t say anything else. He just smiled again, that same knowing smile, and continued the lesson as if nothing had happened.
