“Ms Lerner.”

“Take a seat.”

Tina sat down and contemplated on her next move. She didn’t get the chance, however.

“My dearest Tina… do tell me what brings you here today. How can I be of your… service.”

The last word was not to be misinterpreted, the blonde understood. She smiled genuinely, groaning inwardly. “Ms Lerner, I -”

“Do call me Jodi.”

“Jodi, I was hoping you could do me a favor.” Tina leaned her arms on the desk, which gave Jodi an even broader view of her cleavage. The blonde didn’t feel comfortable at all, but she told herself to go through with it, to be able to help Bette in the end.

“Anything.”

“I am having trouble with a particular class. 3B, to be exact. I am having some trouble keeping them down. I don’t feel comfortable teaching them, they are making sexual remarks all the time and make me feel uncomfortable. They talk to me in an unrespectful way, knowing I can hear it and everybody tags along. I have tried talking to them, punishing them, being firm. It only causes them to make fun of me more, claiming it to be ‘hot’ when I’m angry… I don’t think it would be appropriate for me to repeat the other stuff. It’s the class with Josh Breckner, Taylor Martin, Eric Anderson. They need someone else to teach them. Someone like William. I have talked to him already and he would be willing to switch classes, so I get to teach 3A instead.”

Jodi listened, but with her eyes fixed on the delicious cleavage in front of her.

“That’s Bette Porters class, if I’m right?”

Tina’s heart raced again and she cursed herself for it. “Yes.”

“I don’t see any trouble in that. I will think about what to do with the boys you mentioned – I do have something in mind. I am okay with this, as long as you and William take care of difficulties yourselves.”

“Difficulties?”

“Oh – small ones. Like how far you have come in the book, where your students stand…”

“Oh, no, that’s no problem. Thank you very much, Ms Lerner.”

“Entirely my pleasure, Tina,” Jodi winked. “And didn’t I tell you to call me Jodi?”

“Yes, I’m sorry.”
