It was odd. Seeing your teacher not in her usual plain uniform. She was your Astronomy teacher. She was actually stupid smart. Too smart for just a high-school teacher. She was incredibly passionate about her work, but you could tell she was beginning to lose steam. No one in the class seemed to care. They were all either on their phone or talking. She really only seemed to be teaching you. You were usually the only one who actually came to her study sessions before lunch, without having to be there for bad grades. She was young. Ish. Around twenty seven, maybe twenty eight. You never asked, but she had told stories about her childhood and you could gather context clues. She'd always write you passes to excuse your tardiness to your next class, since the two of you usually ended up talking for a little bit after class. She was your favorite teacher. Your favorite person. She was someone you could talk to about problems you had. She never reported them, even though legally she had to. She was a great person. She was caring. She was understanding. She was the reason you came to school anyway.

It was after school. The two of you had gotten caught up in conversation. She was talking about her ex-husband. How stupid she was for falling for him. How much she hated him. She was just rambling on, but all you could do was listen. Cause that's what she did for you. She listened. She understood. So you listened. And you understood, even if you didn't really understand.

She was sitting on your desk. She was wearing a yellow turtle neck with a tight black skirt and some black stockings with some black zip up boots. Every student had a crush on at least one teacher. And she was that one teacher for you. She ran her hand through her hair as she leaned back on your desk. Rambling on about her regrets. Her dreams before this job. What she wanted to be. It wasn't uncommon for the two of you to sit close like this. You actually say right next to her desk.

She looked down at you, smiling and laughing quietly.
