‘I don’t need to be rescued, but I’m grateful for your help all the same.’

I stare at the note, slightly perplexed at its meaning, but then I remember what she said when I confronted her about the pregnancy that never was. “Is that the reason you’ve been nice to me this entire time? The lunch time study sessions, the rides home, the inviting me to your parents… it’s because you think I’m pregnant?”

She thinks I’m being nice because she’s having a hard time, which I am, obviously. I’m her teacher and I should care. I should be there for a student in need.

But is that the only reason?

I toss the note into the bin and run my hands through my hair. Other thoughts come to mind on that particular subject, but I shove them aside. I don’t have feelings for the girl… at all, not in any way and I won’t entertain that idea.

Does she have feelings for me? She’s a teenage girl; of course she does. Christ how that must have hurt when she realised my intentions were purely platonic. Now I feel like an arsehole. I never should have gotten involved.

My mind wanders to something else, something I bought to give her on her birthday, and my hands ball into fists. If what I’m saying to myself is true, why would I go to so much trouble? Why does the thought of hurting her tear a hole straight through my heart?
