ENTJ (male) x INFJ (female)

Standing in front of her class of 30, Barbara, a teacher in the subject ‘Personal Development’, changes the slide in her presentation before looking back at her students. “So, we are bound to ask ourselves, what are our coping strategies?” She raises an eyebrow at them as she knows that the students are now thinking quietly about the question flashed on the screen. 

“Perhaps what you can also consider is how you tackle different stressful events,” she continues, “Try to recall how you helped yourself cope when you received a low grade. Would your coping strategy for that still be the same if you were, let’s say, going through a huge argument and fallout with your best friend? We all have different coping strategies depending on the event and what it-”

“Hey, Class 2A,” a male voice suddenly interrupted Barbara mid-discussion. She whirls around to see one of the teachers standing by the door carrying in one hand a thin stack of papers. Of course, she is not surprised to see the teacher she despises the most. And apparently, the feeling is mutual.

Physics teacher, Sir Ken. 

“Hey, Miss Barbie,” Ken teasingly greets her after, even winking at her before turning back to the students seated quietly and a bit in shock. “I checked all your papers for the physics exam. I’m glad to know that all of you passed!”

“Excuse me, Sir Ken,” Barbara utters sternly, narrowing her eyes at him. She could feel the anger grow in her. “Must you really talk about this now? Their period with you is later. Couldn’t you wait until then?”

“I can’t wait when it’s you, Miss Barbie.”

She scowls at him. She hates that darn nickname. “It’s Miss Barbara. And if you have nothing important to say, then leave.”

“Miss Barbara, I want to return to the students their papers-”

“Do it later!” She exclaims before walking to the doorway and grabs a hold of the door before slamming it close. She huffs and turns back to her students, fixing her blouse in an attempt to keep her composure. Yet, it’s clear that the students have seen right through it. 

Everyone in the school, whether teacher or student, can tell the tension between Miss Barbara and Sir Ken. Of course, when one would try to ship a teacher from the hard sciences and one from the social sciences, chaos is bound to ensue. But they collectively carry this hope that someday, one day, the two will realize their hidden feelings for each other. 

Barbara forces out a smile toward her students. “I all know what you’re thinking. The rumors between me and Sir Ken reach me as well. And before you get your hopes up,” she then lets the corners of her mouth fall into a frown, “it is never going to happen.”

The students wanted to hide their malicious smirks or remarks. They all knew that it was going to happen and they would wait even a hundred years for it. 

After classes, Barbara headed back to the faculty room feeling bothered with the interruption during her period. Ken is always like that and she hates how he always gets away with it! Just because he’s one of the best physics teachers on campus doesn’t mean that he gains a free pass from being mean to her. And what’s worse is that it’s only her who has to go through his crazy antics. The rest of the teachers are free from him and Elena, Barbara’s best friend, and a teacher in the elementary division has always told her to be a bit more patient with him. 

How can she stay patient when he knows which buttons to push to bother and make her mad?

Elena even said that maybe Ken is just flirting with her the whole time. The heck? Elena is crazy, Barbara knows that for sure. She even claimed that she had elves giving her new stuff for some time. Scratch that, Elena is beyond crazy.
