@asddas193 If there was one thing that could actually make her focus on something today, it was sharing class with Kotaro. But only sort of. He noticed her trying to muster the angry for no reason glare, but it just falling flat, which probably meant a good day for him without her trying to annoy him. Halfway through the period, he could feel something just barely brush against him. The cause was a crumpled up piece of paper that he knew the bitch behind him must have thrown...only...it could barely be called that. It wasn’t even really a throw, more like handing the note in a halfassed manner, but Shina was still looking off into space, only raising an eyebrow to see if he’d open it, but not seeming in the mood to bother doing anything else. @Tjf “Huh? Uh, yeah. Sure.” A few of the students had to turn their heads to stare, wondering whether or not they liked her better this way or found the unusual quietness, almost creepy in a way. The boys next to her didn’t really pay attention to what she said given their view of her cleavage. The reaction by the rest was to either try looking away really fast or just too engrossed not to stare. As usual, she ruffled the back of her hair as a nervous twitch wondering what it could be about as the rest started to file out. Alexandra was a decent enough teacher. One of the ones, she didn’t intentionally try to drive crazy. At least not on purpose. Standing awkwardly, Shina’s mind ran through the possible reasons she could get stopped today. She was almost positive she hadn’t really did anything today, dress code aside. “So...what’s this about?” Thinking of the last thing she could think of, she rubbed her arm uncomfortably. “Alma gets gum stuck in her own hair. I don’t know anything about that.” Despite her rebelliousness, saying what she felt actually worked against her always making her an awful liar, but the guilty look made it clear she wasn’t going to fight back today. “Uh...how many weeks?”
Alexandra sighs, shaking her head. When the class empties, she begins to speak. "Look, I'm just going to ignore what you just said. Alma's a bully, you're a bully, so if you two stop this dumb feud of yours now, that'll be the last anyone hears of it. I'll have a chat with her as well to make sure she doesn't try anything as a reprisal." The American looks down at her paperwork. "Look, Shina, you're not a dumb kid, far from it, but your grades are beginning to worry me. I know that you work hard to maintain this 'tough girl' aesthetic, but if this keeps going on, I'm going to have to fail you." She gives a half smile. "Luckily for you, the school has implemented a buddy system for people with poor grades. I'm assigning Kotaro to you as a buddy. He'll be in charge of tutoring you, and helping you with your work out of class. In return, you're going to keep the bullies away from him. Understand?"
"Alright, but she-wh-what?" She had to take a moment to process the ups and downs: A. She wasn't in trouble. B. She was probably going to be in trouble. "Tough girl aesthetic" was an interesting theory. Her face read more like a kicked puppy today, but in general, Alexandra was likely to be aware that without Laurie there to laugh at all the stupid stunts her friends pulled, Shina didn't usually go out of her way to do anything too crazy. But she WAS a badass. She just didn't need to prove it right this second. Her interpretation was that Alexandra thought that to some degree since she expected her to be some kind of bodyguard. And to....what? The most energy she showed today was how she snapped at attention hearing the idea. "You can't seriously be allowed to do that. That's got to be some serious malfeasance in office." Partly proving Alexandra's point that Shina wasn't as stupid as she acts. was that she knew words like "malfeasance.", but Shina didn't look interested in making a note of it. "B-but you know what he's like, right? It's not like there's a meeting where everyone decides to just go fuck with this kid for a while. And he's..." She took a breath from her sudden rapidfire speech, looking uncertain of the next words to get across her point. But as she took a breath and collected herself, she went back to looking quieter again. She tried making a scowl, but with everything happening all at once, it just fell flat. "...going to think I'm just a dumbass then." The silence hung for a half minute before she added anything. "And I am...if I wasn't then Anna wouldn't have..." Talking more to herself and starring mostly at the floor, she peeked up to take a look at Alexandra. "Uh...I know it's weird for me to say anything...but I don't really have anyone I can talk to about anything...ah, fuck it. It's not your problem." Looking half torn between trying to say something and changing her mind, she settled on staring at the clock on the wall.
Alexandra smiles. "He's not going to think you're dumb. He'll see how smart you really are, just like I do." She looks into Shani's eyes. "Please, feel free to speak to me. I'm not just here to talk, I'm here to listen to you, as well. What's the problem? Does it have to do with the crush you have on him?"
Kotaro was down in the dumps since he couldn't place the cameras in the spots he wanted. But his regular smile was still on his face, as if it was painted there. However, when Alexandra mentioned something about speaking to him, he froze. Uh oh, what's this about? Does she know it's me? Wait, wait, no calm down. She couldn't figure it out that fast. And why does she want to speak to Shina first? Uuurgh. Crap, no use thinking about it. "Yes, professor!" Kotaro said in a rather surprised way, hopefully she'll think it was because he was scared of suddenly being called back. Being the "good" student that he was. Just as Kotaro was about to leave, he felt the paper ball Shina threw hit his head. "W-wha?" He said in confusion as he looks around, spotting the crumpled up paper, "Ah, don't worry I'll throw this out." He said as he picks it up, before leaving the classroom. Sadly since there was no garbage can nearby, and the fact that his professor told him to wait outside. Kotaro couldn't throw it away. "Haa. I wonder what this is? Might still be good to use for writing." He sighed as he uncrumples the paper, checking if there was anything written on it.
"Agh! Dammit Laurie!" The sudden raise of her voice could potentially be heard in the halls, and she had to remind herself to quiet down. "Well, you know. Laurie says a lot of things."" Not really able to salvage the implication, she didn't deny it either. It wasn't really any surprise that Alexandra was going to know, having them both as students, though Shina's mind was left thinking Laurie was incredibly chatty. Or maybe Anna gossiping before...Shina visibly shrunk a little bit in front of Alexandra. "But...ah, even if that was a thing...not really that...well..." She didn't know what to say. "Sort of. But not what you're thinking." Her thoughts were scrambled and she babbled a bit aimlessly before trying to put them together. "Look, I know a lotta people hate Anna, alright? I kinda do too sometimes...but she's not all bad. Like...yeah, there's a lot of things to hate about her, but she isn't as shitty as everyone thinks....I know what I'm like. I had a lot of guy friends and everything growing up...but wasn't really good with other girls." Shina realized her story was dragging on for longer than she meant it and tried to cut it short to the point. "Anna was still a spoiled brat and all, back then, but she was the only one didn't call me an idiot or tell me I looked like a boy." Her discomfort continued to gradually increase as she got to the end of her rambling. "I like her a lot, even if other people don't. But she's probably not going to talk to me anymore. There was a party last night and we kind of got drunk. You know that happens with students, that's not news." Shina was half trying to drag out getting to her conclusion as long as possible and thinking it was better to just get to the point. "...we kinda...uh...yeah." Rubbing her head sheepishly, she let Alexandra fill in the blanks herself before looking desperate to quickly add to it. "But I'm not like that and she knows I'm not. She seems pretty mad now. But what am I supposed to do? I can't just...or I didn't think I was...I dunno anymore." For as tough as she wanted to act, when she finally took a breath to stop talking between her pauses and let Alexandra piece together what she was trying to get at, she looked just about ready to melt from the awkwardness of discussing it. ___ @asddas193 While Shina was in the mood for little, she had thought to make a print of one of her pictures before she left school that day, leaving her with one to attach to a piece of paper. She had lot's of reasons to use it to fuck with people, but the mood was kind of killed. At most, taunting Kotaro with it seemed like the best use of her time, with her sloppy handwriting scribbled on top of the printer page.
"It has nothing to do with Laurie, I see the way you look at him." Alexandra smirks, before her smile turns into a confused frown. "Wait, what's this about Anna?" She tries to unjumble the chaotic mess of words from her students. "Okay, so... You're worried that Anna won't be your friend anymore... because you took advantage of her at a party? Am I understanding that correctly? I can't really give advice unless I know the entire story. Calm down and talk to me. You say you got drunk, was she drunker than you? Did you initiate it? When you say she got angry, how exactly did she show that anger? Did she confront you, or has she just been avoiding you? Is this why she's not in class today?" Alexandra looks concerned, though she hasn't turned on Shina yet, willing to hear the tomboy out in full before she makes any judgements. "Just tell the story, one piece at a time, okay? At your own pace. I don't have a class right now, so take all the time you need. I'll write you a late note."
Alexandra stands for a moment and walks to the door, opening it. "Hey, Kotaro. Would you mind waiting just a little longer? I think I'll be talking to Shina just a little longer than I thought. Don't worry, you're not in trouble or anything. I'll write you a note so you don't get in trouble for being late to your next class." She heads back inside, to hear Shina out, making sure the doors closed properly, so he won't be able to eavesdrop.
Hearing Alexandra just sit there, it made her her a bit more comfortable to have someone listening. “N-no. I didn’t take advantage of her. I was pretty wasted so I barely remember it. I think she tried making the first move though..maybe. She knows I’m not a lesbian....but we kinda..made out. Like a lot. I don’t know what happened. She won’t answer any of my texts.” Shina tried giving the stiff upper lip. As much as she insisted on not being into girl on girl relationships, she made it sound a lot like they broke up. Shina wracked her brain that was just having her remember how she decided it was to explain her friends disappearance. True or not, the effect it had on her was real. “From what I can sorta remember, I guess she figured we’d be a thing...but I’m not like that...and I already kind of think about a specific guy for that stuff. Except...I thought I didn’t like that stuff..I don’t know anymore. Anna seems pretty mad now because I didn’t feel the same way. And if I am actually like that and shot her down...I dunno.”
Alexandra gives a relieved sigh. "Oh, thank God." She exhales, chuckling, before looking back to Shina with a compassionate and empathetic look. "Look, when alcohol is involved...these things tend to happen. I wouldn't take it personally that she's not responding to your texts. Think about how flustered this event has gotten you. She's probably just as embarrassed right now, and wondering if your friendship is over, which is most likely the reason for her silence. She needs to calm down, and reflect on what this means for her. I wasn't there at your party, but I assume you might be reading too deeply into Anna's actions. I highly doubt that she expects that a drunken makeout session makes you girlfriends." "My advice would be to just wait for a moment. Give Anna some time to collect her thoughts, and do the same yourself. When Anna is ready to talk, let her approach you, and talk honestly about how you feel."
"Holy!" Kotaro exclaimed before shutting his mouth, What the hell is this? Did she, give this to me on purpose? I mean, sure there's a mocking message. But this picture. She'd be in so much trouble if I spread this. He thought to himself as his eyes were glued to the photo. However, when Alexandra came out to inform him of the delay. Kotaro immediately crumples the paper again, "W-wha, o-oh. Pheeeew." He let out a breath of relief. "A-alright, I'll wait!" He said in a happy tone as he hides the paper in his bag. If Alexandra looks at his crotch, she'll spot his thick cock straining against his pants.
"You think?" Shina noticeably perked up at hearing it wasn't necessarily as bad as it sounds. Her face dimmed a little bit at hearing the last part. "Yeah...tell her how I feel...that's kind of a whole thing....I seriously dunno. I feel like it was just us being dumb shits...but I think I sort of liked it too." The gears grinded in her head thinking about it. Maybe it was just because they were close friends that she had to wonder about it. Maybe it was something else. "I mean...we've always been tight and stuff. Like I don't want her outta my life even if it makes things weird...but yeah...I really don't know. Can't say I feel like it was all bad...just never really thought about this stuff, I guess. Not sure what I'm gonna say, but just got to say the truth, right?" Standing up a bit taller, she gave a more confident look again, though still obviously indecisive and unsure of where she was going to land on the future problem. "...just kind of need to figure out what that is." Looking about ready to finish with the talk, she gave a small nod of respect towards Alexandra. "Don't know what we'll talk about or how it's gonna go. She'll understand....I'll make her understand."
"Just be honest, it's the best way to avoid a misunderstanding. I hope everything goes well with you two, but I have a feeling that it will. Anyway, if that's all you needed." Alexandra hands Shina a note to excuse her lateness. "Kotaro, you can come in now."
@Auraicide Once he heard Alexandra call for him, Kotaro enters the classroom. However, since only a few minutes had past, his thick cock was still straining against his pants as he did. Basically showing whoever was inside the classroom his impressive member. Shina would know it was because of the picture she threw at him. "Y-yes, ms Håkansson?" He asked, still unsure of what he was called for.
“Yeah...and uh..thanks.” Not summarizing the conversation as Kotaro could hear them now, she began to walk out returning to hey normal high energy. @asddas193 As she waked out, she could see the crumpled paper he held and the bulge underneath, her plan all along in action, she gave a smirk on her way out. “Whatcha looking at pervert?” Walking past him, but slowing down just enough so he could stare at the rips in her barely holding on top on the way out. @majus She wasn’t sure where to go next. Other than get through the rest of the day, then probably talk to Kotaro later today about being the appointed tutor.
Kotaro gulped as he saw Shina exit, still bewildered by the fact she gave him that photo. The fat teen was at a loss, not even bothering to stare at her leave. And as she did, his professor suddenly instructs him to lock the door. "W-wha? O-okay." He said as he shuts the door, and locks it behind him. "U-uhm. Ms. Håkansson, what is this about?" He asked in a nervous tone, despite the smile on his face. No way, no way, no way! Is she actually going to do what I emailed her yesterday? He screamed inside his mind.
"I hear that you've been bullied pretty badly, recently. I'm sorry that's happening. To put a stop to it, I've assigned Shina to you as your buddy. You tutor her, and in return, she'll keep those girls off your back." She pats the table next to her. "C'mon, take a seat." She smiles. "It's not mandatory, but I'm hoping that you'll agree. It'll be good for both of you."
"E-eh? Come again?" Kotaro was stunned though his legs moved toward a seat. "Er. You want me to tutor Shina?" He asked again, "I uh, don't mind. But, is she alright with that? I mean... she's also one of the people picking on me. But, she's also kind of odd?"
"Oh, don't worry about that. She only picks on you because she has a crush on you." She looks at his bulge. "I can see why." Alexandra chuckles. "She's too shy to make a move on you, so she takes her frustration out by picking on you. Odd? What do you mean exactly? You don't like her?"
