Jade stared at the man, his arms gripping the pillow tighter. "Because I don't want to lie to myself. I don't want to have to pretend I don't like you. I want to be able to be with you. I don't see why I have to wait. It doesn't make sense. Waiting will not do anything. It'll only frustrate us more and what's the point? I'm not your student anymore? Whoopdy doo. I like you. You like me. There is no use in ignoring that, is there? So what if we kiss, or hold hands, or anything like that? Why should we wait? And if you tell me because you're my teacher, I'm screaming for Mama!"
