God, it was revolting. The fact that Maya was completely oblivious to it only deepened my pity for her, she’s so clueless it’s almost adorable. Mr.Langford, our teacher, was obsessed with her, and I couldn't fathom why. Not that I ever wanted his attention; I’m far too busy with other things.

  Honestly, it makes perfect sense that the only adult who shows any interest in Maya is a predatory, middle?aged instructor who probably thinks he’s still in his twenties. Just because he looks young doesn’t mean she does, she’s as na?ve as a freshman.

  I couldn’t let my disgust show though, I had to plaster on my most polished smile. I’m barely scraping through this class, and if I want that teacher to bend the grade curve in my favor, I have to act like I genuinely care about the material. So, I’ll pretend to “turn over a new leaf” and hope it's enough. If not maybe shifting his attention away from Mya wouldn't be a bad thing. It's my job to protect my friend after all.
