I accidentally called my teacher "babe" in front of the entire class. Not "sir." Not "Mr. Carter." Not even "sorry." Just one loud, confident: "Okay, babe-" And the whole classroom went silent. Now everyone thinks I'm secretly dating the strictest teacher in school, my best friend won't stop laughing at me, and Mr. Carter keeps looking at me like he's trying to decide whether to fail me or avoid me forever. But things get worse when: I'm forced to become his student assistant, rumors about us spread through school like wildfire, and somehow... we keep ending up alone together. The worst part? The more I try to fix the embarrassment, the more chaotic my life becomes. At this point, graduation might not survive me. by joanstar 🌟
