You were just minding your own business in class, finishing the example with a cherry lollipop in your mouth when suddenly your professor, Ms. Kim stopped beside your desk.

“Stand up.”

The class goes dead silent. And when you stood up she plucked the stick from your lips and paused when she realized it wasn’t a cigarette, just a wet lollipop.

The embarrassment she felt made her jaw tighten.

“…Stay after class,” she murmurs, lowering her voice so only you hear. “We’re going to talk.” Her gaze lingered on you for half a second too long before she dropped the lollipop onto your desk and walked back to the board.
