I think that being a new teacher you will have some questions about me, right? - he says and all the girls raise their hand, he smiles.
How old are you?- asked Marlene.
25 years old.- he answers and the vast majority sigh, but not out of delight.
Are you married? They ask
"I'm single," he shrugs.
Do you have children? No, but All in good time.
Are he gay?- a boy asks and everyone laughs, including Mr. Gray. No- he laughs- I like girls, he answers with a smile on his face- okay, that's enough.
Now it's my turn to know you all.- he says and points to the first girl in the row opposite mine.
So everyone starts introducing themselves, and from the order it's in, I know I'll be last. Robert Wilson, seventeen years old, I was born here in London and I like basketball- says the guy behind me and sits down. I sigh and stand up.
I'm Nina Moore, I'm 17 years old, I like singing and dance- I shrug and sit down.
Mr. Gray stares at me for a few more seconds and nods. Then the bell rings and everyone starts packing up their things. Have a great evening - Mr. Gray exclaims and leaves.
I grab my stuff and start walking to the teachers' lounge, then I sit in the waiting room until the receptionist speaks to me.
Mr. Winston again? Yes, he still hates me- I laugh and Louisa laughs with me.
Mr. Gray is waiting for you in his office - he says and I thank him.
I look for the door with the name on it and knock three times until the door opens and Mr. Gray smiles. Miss Moore, come in - he says I smile happily and sit down on the chairs in front of his desk.
I look at him and see him locking the door, I frown.- Tell me, why are you here?- he asks and I sigh.
Because I laughed in class, and the teacher thought I was laughing at him.- I muttered without looking at him and he laughed quietly. And why were you laughing? - he asks and I stammer. A girl was drooling at the sight of her butt and I thought it was funny- I murmur and he nods slightly- so what will my job be for these five weeks of session?- I ask and he frowns.
Oh no, Miss Moore.- he murmurs.- I actually already spoke to the director to tell him how I work.
What I'm looking for in this session is... to improve your behavior and I won't achieve that with work. So take this session as a... way to get to know each other better- he whispers and I tilt my head in confusion. I don't understand. Look, I'd like to get to know you better, so I can help you better. I'd like to know what you like and what you don't, your daily routine, among other things- he says and I nod, then he takes out some papers and hands them to me- Please answer this, and after answering it you can leave- he smiles and I nod.
Then I start reading it.
Full name: Nina Moore Age: 17 years old.
Date of birth: 07/22.
I Sigh. Do you mind if I put my feet up on the couch?"
I asked and he shakes his head. Not at all, please make yourself comfortable- he says and I thank him quietly.
I sit sideways and put my legs up on the couch. I bite my lip and continue reading. The questions were basic.
My address, my parents' phone number, etc. As soon as I finish the first page I turn it over and read. This was a bit more personal. He asked me about my dreams, my travels, my thoughts, etc. Basic stuff.
Then I turn it over and I find the third page.
This whole page was about my relationships.... Excuse me- I interrupt Mr. Gray and he looks at me- what do you mean by the kind of relationships I like? I ask tilting my head and he licks his lips. I mean love, just s*x, even... Okay, I get it- I laugh and he nods. I sigh, because the only kind of relationship I've experienced has been love, I lick my lips.- What if I'm not sure?- I ask and he smiles.
Then put the option- he whispers and doesn't stop smiling, I shrug my shoulders and look at the option: I'm not sure. I roll my eyes and laugh to myself.
I look at the next question. What is your s****l preference?: Heterosexual.
What is your age preference? Excuse me- I whisper and Mr. Gray....Oh, what do you mean by my age preference?
The age you like your partners to be.- He answers and I nod. So I answer: my same age or a few years older.
I continue answering some questions until I get to the last ones. How often do you have s*x? Then I blush. So I choose the first option: I have never had s****l relations.
Nobody's going to see this, right? I ask and he denies. This is a test I used to give, in the previous school I taught at before this one, to all my students.- He answers and I nod.
why didn't you give it us when you came to the class?- I asked and he smiles.
I'll actually give them out in the next class- he answers and I tilt my head. why did you give me this today?- I ask and he licks his lips.
Because I have to know you more than the others-he answers- I'll see you every day for almost a month.
I'll see the others twice a week- I nod and look down. You would refer to yourself as a pseudo-masochist. These questions are f*****g weird. I grab my phone and look up the definition of pseudo-masochist, gulping as I read. But I actually had a doubt.
Sexually I don't have an answer, I've never experienced anything like that. I look at the options: I sigh, hesitate for a few seconds and then decide to write I don't know, I've never experienced anything like that. I shrug and continue reading.
Have I ever committed incest?: No.
I wonder what Mr. Gray does with this information. I mean, what can he diagnose with this?
Nymphomania?
Maybe. I continue reading: How often do you masturbate? Oh my God, I feel my cheeks blushing like never before. I hate talking about s*x, I know it's natural but, for God's sake, it's taboo for me. I've never m*********d.
So I answer the last question: Have I had s*x with or been in a relationship with someone (+8 years) older than me?: Never.
I'm done - I say happily and he smiles. See you tomorrow, Miss Moore, he says. I grab my things and leave almost running. It was a strange questionnaire. But I have to admit that it left me with many doubts.
