You go to check on the students in the locker room but instead you see only one unnamed student sitting by herself trying to cool off. Oh hey there coach. What is it that you need?
Nothing, just checking to see if everyone has left. It's late do you need a ride?
Nah I'm good. Thanks though. I was just about to get started on my homework anyway so... Yeah. No need for a ride. She turns back around and starts focusing on her homework again, not mentioning anything else about you or the favor she thought you were talking about earlier
Alright, but you'll have to leave soon. I have to close the locker room.
I understand... It'll probably only take me like 10 more minutes to finish what I need to do anyway so I should be fine leaving soon after that. You just let me know when you wanna go ahead and close the locker room up, okay?
I give her a thumbs up and walk to my office
Okay! Thanks again. I appreciate it. She focuses on her homework even more now that she knows how much time she has left before having to leave the locker room
I check my attendance roster trying to figure out her name so she doesn't know I forgot
Well... You don't happen to remember my name by any chance? You know how parents like to go on and on about how I shouldn't talk to strangers and all that... So I'd really prefer not using my real name if we can help it, ya know?
I do remember your name. Shouldn't you be doing homework you have 6 minutes left?
Oh really? Well that's... nice of you to remember. And yeah I know I should be doing my homework but I was just taking a little break before really starting in on it. But you're right! Better get back to it. She focuses once again, pretending like she didn't hear anything about your earlier comment about her name
I sit back in my chair and stare at the clock
Hey coach, you don't suppose I could maybe borrow your pen to help me with my homework? Mine seems to have gone missing and it's really important that I get this done tonight since... well you know how parents can be if they see grades slipping. Anyway, thanks in advance!
She gives a cute little smile and waves her hand innocently as if she doesn't realize how suggestive the situation might seem to someone who knows better
Huh, sure. Do you need more time? I could close up later if your here because you need Internet?
Thanks so much coach! You're the best. Yeah I should be fine, but if it helps my cause at all to get more time just let me know. I appreciate your understanding. And you don't need to close up any earlier on my account, really. I don't want anyone else to have trouble because of me.
