Grownup being called Baby Boy

Out of curiosity, I took out my laptop during Biology lesson and searched for "baby boy". Well Google just showed me a bunch of babies.

So I went on to be more specific, "Grownup being called baby boy". I was SHOOK TM. "WHAT THE HELL??" I said out loud. The kids near me looked at me like I'm an alien that has just came on Earth.

I muttered a "sorry" and their heads turned back to their textbooks.

"Miss Angelo, care to explain this paragraph in the textbook?" My biology teacher said.

"May you please tell me which paragraph it is, miss?" I spoke.

"Page 75, paragraph 2. The part that describes the experiment and the graph." Miss Jackson said, giving me a warm smile.

I studied the graph for a few seconds, and the explanation came up.

"At first, the graph was showing a steep slope, which shows an increasing rate of photosynthesis as the CO2 level rises. This is because more raw materials, CO2 in this case, are available for photosynthesis, therefore increasing the rate of photosynthesis."

Miss Jackson nodded, and I continued. "At the middle of the graph, the rate of photosynthesis slows down and eventually levels off because the concentration of CO2 is no longer the limiting factor of the rate of photosynthesis. Factors like light intensity or water potential in the plant may be the limiting factor."

"Well done, Kristina. You may sit down. I expect highly from you in the upcoming test." Miss Jackson said.

Have I mentioned this lady teaching me biology is the reason I like biology? She teaches so well, and I couldn't stop listening. She is encouraging and ahhh, she accepts the fact that I am a tomboy.

But today I need some time to figure out things in her lesson.

I had to find out what I need to know. I guess since I have studied the stuff we are going to learn today, I can spend more time researching.

So Google showed me abdl. Which is a bunch of adults in oversized onesies, mouth hanging with a pacifier... I felt weird and scared at the same time.

I went on for more definitions and information. And I start to get more and more scared seeing more pictures and words. Everything starts to spin in my head.

What if Annie was referring to this?

What if she really wanted to put me in this state?

Or even worse, make me do this in public?

Gosh.

That is scary.

I closed my laptop, not wanting to search for more. And that is when the bell rang.

"Class dismissed! Make sure to study the new stuff we learnt today! See me after class if you need help." Miss Jackson said.

Oh god I do need help but I don't think you can help.

"What did you say Kris?" Miss Jackson asked. I didn't realize I was so into my thoughts that I was thinking out loud and stood frozen in the classroom. Almost everyone is gone already.

And did she just call my nickname?

"Um.. nothing. Just weird thoughts, trying to digest the information I have just learnt." I muttered.

"Ah I see. Well if you need anything I will be patrolling your building tonight, ask me anything if you need to." she said, breaking into a grin.

I wonder why her smile makes me so comfortable around her.

"Sure." I said. "See you later, Miss Jackson."

"See you, Kris. By the way, just call me Rosalina."

What?

Is it just me or did I find it weird that she lets me call her name and her calling my nickname?

"Yeah, ok. Bye Miss Rosalina."

Miss Jackson then waved at me.

Gosh today is so weird.

I guess she just wanna be friends with a student?

Oh boy I was so wrong.
