went to the restroom, to wash her face. After she put water on face, she looked at the mirror. She told herself, ‘‘I can’t do this to Brock. He wouldn’t do this to me, I can’t do this to him. I’m pretty sure that there’s teachers, girls, and friends that Brock thinks they’re good looking. He doesn’t act upon them. So, I can’t do this to Brock. I have to try to control this fantasy.’’ She got a paper towel, dried her face and hands. As she was coming out of the restroom, Brock was walking towards her. They both walked up to each other, they hugged and kissed. Brock asked, ‘‘What was wrong last night?’’ He added, ‘‘You sounded like something was bothering you.’’ She responded, ‘‘Just a headache, that’s all.’’ He asked, ‘‘Do you feel better?’’ She said, ‘‘Yes I do. Thanks for asking.’’ They went on with their day, it was the class before school finished. Brock and Natalie entered the class. Brad saw her, she saw Brad, and her fantasy came back to her mind. The class started, Brad began to teach, she tried to keep her cool, and pay attention to the lesson. After he was done teaching, he passed out the assignment. He told the class to pass the assignment. He personally gave the assignment to Natalie. He gave her a smile, while he gave her the assignment. As she was doing her work, she would start to have fantasies about Brad. She would try to control her thoughts, she constantly moved around, and trying to keep those fantasies in check. Brock noticed was bugging Natalie. Brad said, ‘‘Class, I need to go to the restroom. I expect you to be on your best behavior.’’ The class said, ‘‘Yes Mr. Evans.’’ As he walked to the door, he gave a quick glance at Natalie. He smiled, Natalie slightly smiled back, and he left the classroom. Brock whispered to Natalie, ‘‘Ever since last night, you’ve been out of the ordinary. What’s wrong?’’ Natalie whispered back, in a frustrated voice, ‘‘Nothing wrong, I’m trying to do my work.’’ Brad came back to the class, Natalie just wanted the class to end already. After it seemed like an eternity, the class finally came to an end. Natalie was just itching to leave. Brock stayed to ask questions about his work. Natalie stood next to Brock, trying not to stare, or look at Brad. After Brock was done talking to Brad. Brad said, ‘‘Bye, Natalie.’’ But he didn’t say nothing to Brock, he became suspicious about Brad. But he didn’t want to come off like an insecure man. Over the next months, Brad offered Natalie, tutoring, outside lunch, free grades, and Natalie would accept his offers. She would spend a lot of time with him, and she would stay after school, just talking to Brad. They would email things to each other than school stuff to each other. By this time, Natalie’s fantasies grew stronger and were more frequent. Natalie was in the school restroom, she heard girls were saying, how good looking Brad is. Natalie got jealous and said, ‘‘He’s already talking to a girl, he’s taken.’’ The girls asked, ‘‘How would you know?’’ She said, ‘‘Well, I saw him kissing a woman at McD’s the other day.’’ Lying to them in order for them to not flirt with him. One day, Brock arrived at school and hang with his friends as usual. He noticed that Natalie hasn’t showed up yet. He asked one of his friends, ‘‘Hey man, have you seen Natalie?’’ One of his lady friends said, ‘‘I think I saw her in Mr. Evans’ class.’’ Brock said, ‘‘This has gone far enough.’’ For Brock knew that Brad had a crush on Natalie. He walked down to Brad’s class. Meanwhile, Brad was talking to Natalie about his life and he wishes that he was her boyfriend. Natalie was just laughing to every sentence he was saying, and touching his arm every chance she got. He said, ‘‘You look nice today.’’ She said, ‘‘Thanks, you do too.’’ Her fantasies were running like crazy as well as Brad’s, they snapped of it when they heard someone knocking at the door pretty hard. Natalie went to
