Chapter 6

Terry,

I could waste this first paragraph saying I’m sorry. Judging by your tone in the locker room, though, we’re past the part where an apology, simple or otherwise, is going to change how you feel. You’re hurt and you don’t know why. You want to know why I’ve been treating you like a leper for the past month. I’ll tell you, and your opinion of me is not going to improve, but like I said, you deserve to know.

When I first got the job here six years ago, I kept my sexuality a secret, since it was still a sensitive topic and I didn’t want any drama. During my second year as a teacher, however, there was this one student who had me in his gaydar from the moment he laid eyes on me. I resisted his flirtations at first, but as you may have noticed I do have a thing for strong-willed young men. Not saying that’s why I became a teacher, but I’m sure my straight colleagues have their “favorites” as well.

This kid, not going to say his name because I don’t want you trying to find him, was persistent. I was simultaneously infuriated and turned on by it. I broke towards the end of the semester, because I figured that conflict of interest would be over soon and what harm could come of one little fling, right? (Famous last words.) I will abashedly admit the taboo made it hot, but I should have known better.

He played me up until finals. We had a few “student-teacher meetings” before then. The whole time he promised he’d keep it a secret. That is, until he handed in his final paper with a note that said, “This is A-worthy, and if you say otherwise I’ll out you and tell the dean what we’ve been up to.” Fortunately it was a good paper. I would have given it a B, but for the sake of my career I curved the grade a tad. End of story, right?

Unfortunately, my torture continued. That little bastard signed up for two more of my classes before he graduated, and during the second one I confronted him, much the same way you confronted me today. Later that week everyone knew I was gay. He didn’t drop the big secret, but he gave me a taste of his brutality. On top of that, he insisted we keep having “meetings” or else…

To this day he hasn’t told anyone the whole truth, as far as I know. He got what he wanted out of me and if I told anyone about him it would have deeper ramifications for me than for him anyway. It’s a shame that still hangs over my head, though. When I met you in that bar I thought I could have my little fantasy of sleeping around with a younger man without any sort of conflict. You had mentioned your 27th birthday was coming up so when you said you were going back to school I assumed it was for a graduate degree.
