Bunny - Kenjorine - Transition

Chapter 13

"Butters, you're doing good. Kenny hasn't talked to Nicole in a while. I need you to keep the act up until Nicole and Tolkien get back together."

"It's Marjorine."

"You don't need to keep up the act when it's just us."

"Maybe it isn't an act."

"What do you mean?"

"I think I am a girl. Not faking. I am Marjorine."

"Very funny, Butters. At least you're sticking to your role." 

The bell rings before I can respond. We both go to class.

"Marjorine! How was your first week with us?" The teacher asks me when I enter the room.

I hug my books against my chest. "Good! Everyone is very welcoming."

"I'm glad. You know if you ever need anything you can just meet with me, right? I will have your back no matter what."

"Okay... Thanks..."

"Of course."

I sit down in my seat. The teacher takes attendance and everyone gets to work on homework.

When class ends the teacher asked me to stay behind, he said he needed to talk to me.

"You wanted to see me, sir?" 

"Yes, Marjorine I've noticed a lot of the boys in class talking a liking to you."

"Oh, uhm..."

"If they are bothering you, you can tell me."

"Oh, well, they aren't really bothering me. I can take care of myself."

The teacher stands up and closes the door, what is he doing? Does he want to ask me something confidential or something?

"Marjorine, you're a really special girl."

"Thank you?"

"I'm sure that you understand the boys here are all very immature, as high school students."

"Well, I guess?"

"You probably look for more mature men, right?"

"Uhm... I wouldn't say that..."

"I can tell you do. I see it in your eyes."

"My eyes?"

He steps closer to me.

"It's my job as your homeroom teacher to take care of you."

"Sir..? You're scaring me."

"You don't need to be scared, sweetie."

"Please don't call me that."

"It's okay. Just relax, you look tense. You need a shoulder massage."

"No thank you..."

"I insist."

He stands behind me and puts his hands on my shoulders. It makes me flinch. This is scary, I need to get out of here.

I start to walk forward, I get my hand on the doorknob but he grabs me before I can open it.

"Please let go of me."

"Marjorine, I just want to help you relax."

"What is wrong with you? Let me go!"

He pushes me against the wall next to the door. The handle is just out of reach.

"Sir, please, I need to get to class."

"I can write you a note and excuse you."

He uses his hand to pin my wrist against the wall.

"Let go."

"No."

"LET GO!"

He puts his hand over my mouth... Oh god, this isn't happening, this isn't real...

The door opens, a fist flies out of it and clocks my teacher in the jaw, he stumbles backward.

"She said to let go." An angry voice comes through the door.

I look over at the person who just got me out of my situation. It was Kenny.

"Kenny!" Without thinking I run up to him and hug him. 

He hugs me back. "It's okay, Mar. He can't hurt you."

The teacher regains composure. "Kenny McCormick. We were having a private conversation, I would appreciate it if you would leave us alone."
