Can I Still Be Your Heroine Even Though I'm Your Teacher?-Chapter 2Volume .13 - Interlude - Almost First Kiss

Interlude 2

Almost First Kiss

“Excuse me, I need to borrow the bed!”

“Oh, what’s wrong, Tenjō-chan?”

“I’m not feeling well!”

“Is there such a thing as being energetically unwell?”

Amari Sensei, an attractive tomboy and slightly older school nurse languidly lent me a bed.

When we go out for meals privately, she speaks to me in a more casual tone.

I pulled the curtain shut and covered myself with the sheets, feeling like I was about to explode with embarrassment.

I let out a silent scream while burying my face in the pillow.

That was close.

I was almost completely swept away.

At that moment, I had completely prepared myself to be kissed.

I had accepted that it was going to happen.

I found myself unconsciously touching my lips with my fingertip.

If Yuunagi-kun hadn’t stopped me, he would have taken my first kiss.

I’m sure it would have felt nothing like the touch of my own finger.

Just imagining the unknown feeling of a kiss made my heart race.

“I mean… I was worried about you.”

Hearing about his circumstances with his stepsister, I impulsively hugged him.

It must have been my maternal instincts kicking in.

I felt an uncontrollable sense of affection for him.

Forgetting that I was a teacher, I reverted to being just a woman.

I was acting on the impulse to protect this child.

“That’s way too bold for you!”

I didn’t even know who I was talking to.

Even lying down, I couldn’t shake off the tension and excitement.

Even though nothing happened, the lingering sensations in my body didn’t fade.

“Who’s the one losing control here?”

Intense self-loathing.

This is a school. No matter even it’s just the two of us, there are lines that must not be crossed.

“Hey, Tenjō-chan, are you okay? Do you want some water?”

Amari Sensei called out to me.

“Ah, sorry, I’ll take it.”

“Okay, I’m coming in.”

As she drew back the curtain, Amari Sensei gasped upon seeing my face.

“Whoa, what happened!? Do you have a cold? Your face is all red, and you’re drenched.”

With my makeup ruined by sweat and tears, my face must look a mess.

Amari Sensei handed me a bottle of water and went to get some tissue paper.

Drinking the cold water soothes me, and I finally feel somewhat human again.

“Sorry, I might have dirtied the pillow or something.”

“That doesn’t really matter, but what happened?”

Along with the tissue box, she also handed me a thermometer.

How kind.

“I’m just overwhelmed by a shocking event…”

I try to regain my composure.

“Still, it’s unfair how a beauty like you still looks beautiful even in such a state. So, what happened? I’m here if you need to talk about it. Did you find out your favorite idol has a girlfriend?”

“No, that’s not it.”

“Did something unfortunate happen to your family?”

“If my beloved grandmother in the countryside passed away, I’d be crying my eyes out.”

“Did you get dumped by a guy?”

“I don’t have a boyfriend!”

“Right. But for an adult to be in such a state in the middle of the day…”

“Well, that’s because…”

“Or maybe you made an irreparable mistake on a test or something?”

“The one being tested was me…”

And it was definitely a failing mark.

The brakes of reason weren’t working, and the accelerator of instinct had been pressed without my knowing.

The feelings I had for him had become stronger than ever before now.

That much was made painfully clear to me.
