Three years before the kid had entered and been rebellious in her class. He wanted nothing to do with mathematics but after a few weeks of more personal attention to him he'd settled down. A month later he was involved and growing eager in the subject.
Near the end of the semester he wanted to join the Math team and compete. He'd been studying, practicing and now he demonstrated an academic gift toward the subject.
She welcomed him and he showed his appreciation with a broad smile.
At that time he was shorter than the average kid in his class and shy after his period of rebellion had faded.
During the following summer he'd experienced a dramatic late period of growth and was nearly six feet tall at the start of the second year but by the end of that year he was several inches taller than six feet and had gained weight and developed a strong physique. He'd told her that his Dad had wanted him to exercise and sent him to a fitness center at the end of that first year.
By the start of his last year he'd matured and become the captain of the Math Team.
It was then he'd approached her for advanced tutoring and enrolled in her Ca1culus class. She was proud of him and welcomed him to tutoring. She'd always enjoyed, welcomed and helped students through group and private tutoring. She'd also always offered it free and he was such a gifted student that she eagerly accepted him into private tutoring at her home.
She could have done it at school but his hours were unusual because of his home and extracurricular schedule.
In her first years of tutoring she'd had an idea to involve students and since then each semester and each class she'd selected a girl from the class to obtain and keep her informed of student birthdays.
On a birthday she would bake enough cookies at home for the entire class and then focus the class on that student's Birthday. Some students would be embarrassed but because they weren't singled out or made to feel strange they soon welcomed it. The Birthday student got a larger portion of the homemade cookies and a friend was always selected to conduct and sing the Birthday song.
She knew some students had their Birthday during the summer break and so she'd always arrange a special Group Birthday for them a couple of weeks before the break. It had always worked well and most students looked eagerly forward to their event.
That wasn't the only thing students looked forward to because she loved to tease then innocently and had developed the art of sarcasm and used it quite effectively. She'd noticed the boy students, and most of them were boys because it didn't seem most girls enjoyed mathematics, paid a lot of attention to more than just her wit and ability.
Her best student had now joined the school's swimming team and had that tall, slender, powerful look of a swimmer and his ass was tight. She'd seen him at several events held at their pool and he looked good in those tight small swim suits the men wore.
To the fascination of male teachers she'd always enjoyed being a bit provocative in her dress and one day noticed boys enjoyed it too. If she happened to wear a lower-cut or open neckline the boys would line up after class to talk with her and attempt to look down her cleavage. They also favored her cute ass and she was always catching them sincerely studying it. It didn't matter if she wore a dress or slacks they enjoyed it all. It gave her a warm flash knowing that men and boys alike enjoyed her and she saw no reason that maturing boys shouldn't be allowed to privately enjoy their sensuality.
She also didn't deliberately dress to entice, even so she enjoyed seeing the arousal she seemed to frequently cause in men and boys.
She was married, her husband made a more than decent income and she'd never even thought of cheating on him.
On his eighteenth birthday in February of his senior year she'd been effusive in her praise of her star pupil because he'd come so far, and yet two weeks later she noticed a change come over the boy. He seemed worried or overly concerned with something and seldom spoke or smiled. Slowly her worry increased. What had brought on the sudden change in his mood?
She was more concerned for him over the next two weeks of class and during his visits to her home for tutoring. Her husband would usually spend his time in the family room as she and the boy interacted in the front room during tutoring.
Then one afternoon they were half-way through the study time when she finally decided to question the boy about his mood change. It took her more than fifteen minutes to coax anything from him but finally he gave in and began to talk. He seemed to want to tell someone.
He'd seen his mother and the neighbor man having intercourse on a regular basis and when she asked him more about his home life he told her he'd known about it for more than six months and they did it regularly without knowing he was watching.
When she pried further he told her that he'd known about sex since he was very young because he'd seen and heard his mom and dad many times in the past but now they seldom did it anymore.
Then he added that he'd heard his Mom and the guy saying how much in love they were and began talking of getting divorces.
As a teacher she'd never been confronted with this sort of a student problem before although she'd known teachers that had been. She tried to comfort him with words and an explanation that sex is a basic human need and sometimes a man and woman grow apart and seek solace with someone else. She did her best to explain how common it is in life and included the possibility that his Mom and Dad eventually might actually grow closer from the experience. She added that she thought sometimes people are just drawn together in a weak moment and with such intensity and mutual need that they forget everything else and it happens suddenly before they're aware of what's happening to them.
She told him she thought she understood what he was going through and that he had to work through it and try not to let it damage his life, then before he left she gave him a hug.
She'd felt something during that hug and had momentarily wondered if he was aroused by her presence or it was just his unfulfilled manhood. It made her think of many things she would subsequently dismiss.
An instant later she remembered that he was her student and she was a teacher and she could be fired and even arrested for allowing anything to actually happen. Even as large and mature as he was he was still young and sexually immature with no experience in relation to girls.
She forgot it and went in to talk with her husband about the boy's parental problem.
