Ed Walker has been teaching Chemistry for the last 20 years at Boulder High School. Never once has he violated his oath to never touch a student in an inappropriate way. He has had his opportunities, lots of them, but never has he crossed the line. Several of the girls have come on to him pretty strong, very strong and it took every ounce of his will to fight them off. Sometimes it really sucks being a single attractive teacher with a social life out of school. He has on occasion hooked up with some of his former students after they had graduated and after they had turned 18. All of these were nights to remember, but nothing ever materialized of any of these.
This year was the hardest he had ever had to fight himself. This year there was Jill. She was in his senior level Chemistry class. She was about 5ft 7 inches, pert tits, cute, tight ass, trim waist, auburn wavy hair and round brown eyes. She wasn't a complete flirt which is why he liked her. She was shy, intelligent and witty. For some reason, he could never take his eyes off of her. The few exchanges they have dad together alone were always very professional. Lots of times her eyes glued to the floor. If he didn't know any better, he would have thought that she had a crush on him but he put it out of his mind.
Late in their senior year when a lot of the material was review Jill started spending a lot of time in the class, coming to the after school sessions for additional work and everything. She didn't need the help, she had one of the top grades in her class, but yet here she was. One day, all of the other students had gone home earlier and Jill remained in the class, acting as shy as ever. She looked a little upset about something and Ed was kind of disturbed... he didn't like seeing his students upset. He went over to her and asked what was wrong. Jill slowly raised her head, wiped a tear from her eyes and looked up at him. Then Jill asked him, "Don't you think I am pretty?"
Ed was flabbergasted. Of all things, he didn't expect her to say this. Stunned, he just sat there for a minute wondering what to say. Jill took this hesitation completely the wrong way. Suddenly she jumps up, tears streaming down her face, grabs her bad and heads straight for the door. Ed is shocked out of his trance by her quick movement and jumps up to block her path. "Wait!" Ed tells Jill, "Just wait a minute."
Jill is kind of in shock at his quick movement and stopping her from leaving, "Why?" she asks him.
"Because, I haven't had a chance to explain why I hesitated, yet. You misunderstood my hesitation. I don't normally make a habit of complimenting my students on how they look. Opening up that door tends to create professional issues for myself that I would rather avoid."
"I am sorry Mr. Walker. I didn't mean to put you in an uncomfortable position. I have been trying to find a way to talk to you for a long time now. Don't interrupt me please." Ed was about to say something, but stopped at her pleading. "If I stop now, I will never say what I want to say right now. I just really like you Mr. Walker, more than I have ever liked anyone." At this Jill finally goes quiet, seemingly at a loss for words.
Ed stands there for a minute, completely stunned. The object of his attention for most of this year is actually attracted to him. Now he is completely in turmoil, he knows what he should do, he should run from this situation and never look back. But, he can't. Here in front of him is a very attractive young lady, crying young lady, flushed with her embarrassment at expressing herself so boldly. Ed grabs her, holds he arms and asks her to look up at him, "Jill, I think you are a very smart, very pretty young woman." There he said it, finally, it took all school year but he said it.
"Mr. Walker, you don't have to say that just to make me feel better, really. I will be okay, just have made a complete fool out of myself. I suppose you get this all of the time from students."
