Heartstrings In Dilemma

CHAPTER 17

After his friends left, Rain hesitantly made his way to the teacher's cabin. He knocked softly, and upon receiving permission to enter, he pushed the door open slowly. The sight that greeted him made his stomach churn uneasily. The teacher sat behind the desk, his gaze fixed on Rain with an intensity that sent shivers down his spine.

"Ah, Mr. Rain, please come in and have a seat," the teacher said smoothly, gesturing towards the chair opposite his desk.

Rain forced himself to move forward, his heart pounding loudly in his chest. As he took his seat, he couldn't shake the feeling of being under observation, as if the teacher was not just looking at him, but dissecting him with his gaze.

The teacher wasted no time getting to the point. "I've noticed that your performance in class has been less than satisfactory, Mr. Rain," he began, his voice unusually calm. "Care to explain why that might be?"

Rain swallowed nervously, feeling the weight of the teacher's gaze bearing down on him, he looked down at his fingers, fidgeting them, "I-I'm sorry, sir," he stammered, his words coming out in a rush. "I've just been feeling a bit tired lately , and maybe that's why but I promise I'll try harder to focus on my studies."

As Rain spoke, he felt a presence looming behind him, too close for comfort. He resisted the urge to turn around, knowing that it would only invite more unwanted attention. But when he felt a hand gently brush against his cheek, his entire body tensed with panic.

"What are you doing?" Rain exclaimed, jumping up from his chair and taking a step back, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

The teacher merely smiled, his expression lustful. "I'm just trying to help you, Mr. Rain," he said smoothly, his voice dripping with false concern. "It seems like you could use a little... encouragement."

Rain's mind is filled with a lot of emotions. He felt violated, angry, and deeply unsettled all at once. How could someone in a position of authority behave in such a manner? And what did he mean by "encouragement"?

"I don't need your help," Rain replied firmly, his voice trembling with anger. "And I certainly don't need your... encouragement. I'll figure things out on my own, I think I should take leave now sir. " When rain turned he heard the teacher's voice again.

"Are you sure Mr. Rain?? I can be of your help, considering your family background and the way you are living now, I can also help you in managing that life!!" The teacher said with a very disgusting smile.

"What are you talking about?" Rain demanded, his voice trembling with a mixture of fear and anger. "What does my family background have to do with anything?" Rain said disbelieving at the teachers audacity.

The teacher's smile turned sinister as he stepped closer, his eyes filled with disgusting emotions "Oh, come now, Mr. Rain,Don't play innocent with me. I've heard rumours about you arriving in a luxurious car with bodyguards. Living in a very luxurious home. It's quite the spectacle for someone from a 'normal' family, wouldn't you agree? Some even say you have some old rich daddy, I can be one if you cooperate with me, you look quite sinful to attract anyone".

Rain's heart beat crazily in his chest, he took another step back, his mind racing with a thousand thoughts. How could this teacher know about his family? Disgust ran down in his body when he heard the teacher's disgusting thoughts about, he felt exposed, he could never imagine someone talking to him like that.

Before Rain could respond, the teacher's hand shot out once again, this time aiming to grasp Rain's waist. But Rain reacted on instinct, lashing out with all the strength he could muster. His open palm connected with the teacher's cheek with a loud slap, then he spit on his face.
