"Don't get your hopes up." Brent laughed. "I can't perform miracles."

Nathan gave him a small smile. "Yeah you can. I'm just a lost cause."

Brent stood up and gathered his papers. "Alrighty, I'll see you on monday-"

Nathan looked up at him. "What? You're leaving already?" His face fell

"Yeah, you seem to have a pretty good grip on the curriculum." He shrugged, raising an eyebrow.

"But do I really?" Nathan whined. He didn't want Mr. Michelson to go yet. Not yet. "I think I still need some help. Unless you have somewhere to be." He niddbled his lip and looked at the ground

"What do you need help with?" Brent cocked his head and sighed, sitting back down.

Nathan was quiet for a minute. "So I-I like this person, but I don't think he likes me back. Not to mention I shouldn't like him…" He trailed off.

"Well first off, I shouldn't be the one you talk to about this." He patted the other's shoulder.

"Who am I going to talk too about it?" Nathan asked. "Not my mom. My friends would just tease me."

Brent laughed a bit. "Well, I'm not good with crushes. But, I'll try and help. What's up?"

Nathan sighed. "I like this person. He's older. I don't think he likes me either. And it's not…its just…ugh." He put his head in his hands

"Oof." His lips pursed. "Hmm, is it one of your teachers?"

"That's illegal." Nathan didnt confirm or deny it. He started picking at the grass

"Just because it's technically illegal doesn't mean people don't still do it." Brent shrugged.

"Aren't you supposed to be discouraging me from this?" Nathan sakd

"I'm pretty much a therapist for the teachers, so I am dead inside at this point."

"That doesnt answe my question." Nathan was looking at him now

Brent leaned his head against the tree. "Probably should be discouraging you, but whatever."

Nathan moved next to him. "So….what should i do?"

"Well, if we're going from anime. You should leave a note." He shrugged again.

"I domt watch anime." Nathan said flatly.

'Of course you don't." He sounded disapointed. Though he was an adult who watched anime.

Nathan rolled his eyes. "What is so great about anime?"

"There are so many different kinds! Like action, fantasy, slice of life, etc." Brent nodded with wide eyes.
