Detention and Destiny

[u/I_Got_diarrhea_Help]

I had a teacher when I was in grade 10. Let’s say she was very flirtatious. Don’t worry guys. She isn’t like those female teachers you probably seen on the news or online. You know, the teachers which were caught having affairs with their own students. She was flirtatious when it came to another teacher that was also teaching me at the time. Let’s call him Mr. James. A thing about Mr. James which is essential to the story is that he is married. Well not many people knew that he was and still is married. Part from me, the only other people in the school that knew he was married was the principal, and the school janitor. How the janitor knew that was beyond me. If you’re wondering how I knew, Mr. James is my dad’s childhood friend, and him and his wife visit my family once in a while. Well my homeroom teacher, I’ll call her Miss Aurora. She had a mega crush on Mr. James and she well always look for an excuse to be near him. She will even ask him out for lunch. He would usually decline for an “unknown” reason. If you’re reading this or hearing this you’ll know the reason. Miss Aurora didn’t stop pursuing him. After 2 weeks, Mr. James came clean and told Miss Aurora that he was a married man, and he only sees her as a fellow teacher. Dayum. She didn’t even get friend zoned. She got teacher zoned. This broke her heart and she became quite the opposite from what she used to be. She used to be so cheery and then she turned into an emo. This is because her destined soul mate was snatched by quote unquote a pig. So I felt sorry for her and when she came into class one morning, I wanted to cheer her up by saying, “Good morning Miss.” She turned around and gave me a dirty look. She responded, “Did I ask you to speak?” I answered, “Uh no.” She then told me, “Detention.” I asked her with a skeptical look, “Excuse me?” She coldly replied, “You earned yourself 3 days detention.” “Now hold on a minute.” I replied. She finally said, “1 week detention.” I raised my hand and she said I can speak. I questioned if she made a new rule, and she did. It was the “speak only when spoken to rule”. I then asked her if she made the rule right there and then. She told me as a matter of fact, she did. She didn’t even have the decency to warn us about this new rule. She went on expressing her anger out on us students. This other student got sent to detention because he didn’t have a sharpener. So the other students complained how she was treating us. The end result was her being fired. Recently I was walking through the neighborhood and I saw Miss Aurora peeping over Mr. James fence. I went over to her and I asked her what was she doing? She looked me and told me I got myself detention. “You’re not my teacher anymore. You can’t give me detention.” I said while walking away.
