3x14 and 3x15 Andi Mack scene by scene recap + my unnecessary opinions lol

Forewarning: as from the title these ARE spoilers to the episodes if you haven’t seen it. I’m tagging spoilers out but there’s still a chance they could be seen. Also, I’m giving a scene by scene recap with my opinions of the show. I’ve been requested to do the recap but I also want to talk about what I thought from these episodes in more detail than my post yesterday. So for the most part it’ll be factual but I’m really invested in these two episodes so I’ll definitely be adding my own twang. It’s virtually impossible for me not to recap my own hype for the episodes lol. Hope you’re a Muffy and Tyrus stan bc I’ve got some cOnTeNt for you ❤️

Ok here. we. go.

3x14

Scene starts in the spoon. It’s Andi, Muffy, and Cyrus. Muffy and Cyrus talk about Andi’s parents not getting married while Amber overhears. She gets upset and asks why. Andi clarifies her parents aren’t married, but still together and Amber makes the comment, “unlike my house. My parents are still married but barely together”. Which gets some awks looks from the table. Andi tells them she’s not sad, but angry. Then she says that B&B (Bex and Bowie) said she’s entitled to her feelings to which Cyrus claims as being manipulative?? (Still don’t see how, but he explains that they are playing dodgeball and b&b are on one side and Andi on the other. She has a ball of anger she wants to throw, but they’re ready for it. So if she throws it, they’ll catch it and then she basically can’t show her anger- he’s obviously been listening to his counseling parents hahaha). Andi asks where she can throw her anger ball (lol) so Amber takes her to a sledge hammer place (Rage Cage) where everyone is in individual cages that have old items that you just beat up with a sledge hammer.

*opening song*

Andi is laying on her bed and gets a really excited phone call from CeCe about the wedding to which Andi feels guilty. She tries to tell Bex to tell CeCe it’s cancelled but Bex refuses bc the next day is CeCe’s bday. This scene had some really good acting BTW (I’ll probably tell you when this happens too bc honestly props to the actors. And the cinematography and music in these two episodes is beautiful. Literally made me feel like I was watching a movie).

Buffy runs up to Marty at a bench and he gets a big dimple smile bc why wouldn’t he be excited to see her?? Lol Buffy starts mocking Marty’s shoes because they have toe inserts and that’s when he tells her they are for a marathon. Buffy gets confused (and lowkey upset) she didn’t know about the marathon and Marty is all, “we have a lot of catching up to do” and I’m all (you have a lot of dating to do because my soul has been empty this past season without you. #RIPME 😭 ⚰️). So Buffy gets all flirty competitive and says she wants to race as well. Marty tries to talk her out of it bc he’s worried about an injury, dehydration, etc. but this is Buffy we’re talking about and she insists she can do it and then runs away lol, but Marty can’t help the love he feels for her and smiles sheepishly as he goes to run away with her (very metaphoric. I love)

Jonah and Cyrus are walking and Cyrus invites Jonah to see a meteor shower in his backyard for a campout (good Jyrus moment if you ship that) Jonah makes a lame joke about not having a s’more in awhile and so he has “s’less”- Cyrus tells him not to hurt himself making that joke 😂😂

B&B and Andi are at a restaurant waiting for CeCe & Ham. CeCe shows up and tells everyone Ham went back to India.

Cyrus and Jonah go into a beautifully set up tent where Cyrus obviously had to out-do himself and make everything in the tent extra. I love a gay interior design queen.

Back at the restaurant, CeCe says Ham went to India for rest. CeCe makes some really weird remark about seeing him again (yikes) and the rest make comments about him doing what he needs to do and that they have to accept it and not take each other for granted. Very subtextual of the real situation, but also a great way to write off his character and play into Bex worrying about cancelling the wedding. She showed fear like she wouldn’t want to say anything to CeCe bc he’s gone, but since CeCe was ok with him leaving, Bex calmed down too. Just really well done. CeCe tried to show Bex venue photo’s and Bex tried to stop her but then Bex just says she had a problem mailing the wedding invites *cliff hanger*

Cyrus and Jonah back at the tent. Jonah is panicking about dying in Cyrus’ backyard and Cyrus brings meat into the tent but makes it all flirty and weird- I don’t ship Jyrus but the whole thing lowkey felt like they were trying to impress Jyrus shippers with date vibes haha (also the meat is BAD if you’re camping bc animals can get to you). Then an animal hits their tent at (obviously) the right time

CeCe now knows the wedding is off and is PiSsEd™️. The waiters are all completely unaware and don’t know how to read the room so they bring a sparkler cake. CeCe flips the sparkler upside down, shoves it in the cake, and exits as dramatically as possible. Leaving the mustached waiter with an awkward face like:

Then there was this weird commercial on my app promoting season 2 like bish you already know I watched that season at least twice don’t play me like that

Back to the pointless tent scene (for real- this scene was just filler. You rip off Tyrus FOR THIS? Actual homophobia). Jonah mispronounces some weird thing (and Cyrus says don’t hurt yourself again) and then breaks the tent. Cyrus makes a failed attempt at opening the tent with a cheese knife but Shazam! saves the day by telling Cyrus not to hurt himself and opening the tent with the same cheese knife (honestly, weird flex but ok). They escape and are saved and watch a poorly CGI’d meteor shower like two old men on their front porch. and yippee five minutes of wasted screen time are over. I don’t care if you ship Jyrus. It was a waste of time when we could have been focusing on the TeA of the show. *rant over- no worries. Many more to come*

Back to important matters, Muffy is now running their race. Marty doesn’t want to race. He just wants to finish in under 4 hours and Buffy wants to finish under his time. Buffy agrees with Mr. Party at first, but then hears the word “race” and bolts away like Lightning McQueen.

Bex and Andi back at the house. Bex says it went bad with CeCe bc she won’t even act like Bex exists. Andi realizes her anger and knows where to take her (you guessed it. RAGe CAGe- Andi said it wasn’t for Bex lol so she wouldn’t tell Bex where she was going with CeCe 😂 the shade)

Marty is jogging along like a middle aged white woman and sees Buffy wheezing. He gets all husband like and concerned as he catches her in his arms. (Which reminds me of a pic I saw on Tumblr where they drew her in his arms but laced it with the “Miss Keisha” vine and I was here for it). Then Marty and Buffy put their arms around each other and he escorts her to a bench. (Just saying, everyone knows Tyrus is going to involve a bench scene but as us loyal fans know, Muffy shadows Tyrus and they have also encountered two (2) benches thus far. Coincidence? Maybe. Will I believe it was a coincidence? Absolutely not). Then he puts her on the bench and acts all cute and paramedic and concerned. He’s been taking doc notes at General Hospital obviously. (He even mentions taking her to a doctor). Buffy is all like, “Run your race Marty. 4 1/2 hours. [I’m the supportive girlfriend you hoe].” And he doesn’t want to leave her and she accuses him of being a martyr? Then she snaps at him (like tf) to go away and he gets all angsty™️ and runs off and my heart broke bc I was not ready for a Muffy battle.

Andi and CeCe at the Rage Cage... rage. In a cage.

Marty comes running back to Buffy with a dimple smile again bc he knows she was trying to “White Fang” him from a movie they saw together (❤️). To “White Fang” is for the boy in the movie to send the wolf away, wolf doesn’t want to leave, so the boy throws rocks at him to make him go. Buffy is caught (but she ain’t mad) and I need to quote this part word for word bc it’s TOO CUTE 🥰🥰🥰

B: You’re the one who said we should run our own race

M: That’s what I’m doing

B: Wanna sit here with me?

M: No. I wanna cross the finish line with you 😭😭😭

And that, my friends, was the day my heart ripped in half from joy

Then he picks her up and they put their arms around each other (I seriously can’t. They made me cry last night and lowkey I thought it was bc I was tired but I’m fully energized and watery eyed... sooo....) then Marty makes a joke about them running and Buffy goes, “you’re hilarious” and his voice gets all soft and he looks at her all gentle and goes, “you finally figured that out” AND PLEASE TERRI STOP IT HURTS. But no, the scene CONTINUES BECAUSE MY HEART APPARENTLY COULD TAKE THAT (lies). And the scene changes and now Marty is PIGBACKING HER ACROSS THE FINISH LINE THREE HOURS LATER. LIKE STOP. STOP. I CAN’T HANDLE THESE TENDER MOMENTS. (Seriously they were together an extra three hours with him helping her. I’m WeAk). And they both get medals and Buffy compliments him so he gets all happy and tells her to keep going, but she runs out of compliments so he goes, “ok, I just wanted to see how deep that well went” with his eyes darting all over her face and then the music shifts to almost like progressive-romantic music as BUFFY PUTS HER ARM BACK AROUND HIM AND THEY WALK AWAY (the music was placed so we knew they were having a moment) and that was the exact moment I died. MY PARENTS. (Watched this scene 3 times and will 100% watch it at least 1000 more).

Then Andi sees Amber raging. In a cage. She’s like “excuse me? What are you doing here” and Amber is all mad at Jonah and Andi’s all break up with your boyfriend yeah yeah cuz I’m bored. And Amber wasn’t here for it because apparently she thinks she’s in love with Jonah now? (with tears in her eyes... I mean, love to me isn’t that angry and hating everything he does [he only sent her six emoji’s apparently and just isn’t there for her] that it drives you to physical violence but ok)-(but good acting along with the last Muffy scene but I’m sure ya’ll picked up on that from my synopsis lol)

3x15

FYI this synopsis won’t be AS long, but that’s because Muffy is absent and I have an unexpresible love for them and this episode also sent me over the EDGE with Tyrus 🙄😤🙃 but I’ll do what I can with Tyrus bc it’s still gay and angsty and I was here for that part of it (also I love the Terri devoted two separate episodes to Tyrus and Muffy. Like she really knows this Friendom and what will keep us watching lol)

Unnecessary opening scene with B&B and Andi going to the movie instead of spending time on their phones (it was cute but unnecessary. I liked in the last episode that the rage cage in the beginning scene actually tied into the episode)

*opening credits*

Buffy and Cyrus watching Kira and TJ like hawks from the bench far away and Buffy is confused af about it. She asks Cyrus and he gets all angsty (I WILL over use this word bc it’s too accurate for this episode, wait til you actually see it) and goes “I don’t know” *shoulder shrug* “I haven’t been hanging out with TJ lately”

Buffy: because of that?

Cyrus: they’ve been pretty much attached at the hip (then Kira has the AUDACITY to jump on TJ’s back) and the back. They look happy.

B: it won’t last. Kira’s not a nice person. Only took me a day to figure that out. Since he’s a GUY, it’ll take longer.

Cloud 10 with Bex and Andi discussing Bex and CeCe making up, but in front of CeCe. CeCe is still PiSsEd™️. Bex tries to talk to her and BEGS to make up with her mom but her mom is cold and I felt Bex’s pain. (Great acting in this scene too. I just wanted to hug Bex. Like did you really have to do her a dirty like that? With Tyrus and Bex, this episode is starting to feel like 3x13 again and I thought we all agreed to never speak of that episode ever again)

Cyrus is sitting all angsty and alone with some frozen yogurt in front of a greenhouse? Literally no idea where he is at but it’s such a mood lol and even funnier that TJ found him there. Like where are they?? Hahahaha but ANYWAY, TJ sits down and confronts Cyrus about avoiding him. Cyrus says he isn’t but TJ is like “kinda feels like it”. Cyrus tries to say that TJ has been occupied with Kira taking up his time and TJ denies that hard. And here’s the TEA sis:

Cyrus: you two are clearly hitting it off. Which is great. I’m happy for you guys.

TJ: you make it sound like we’re a couple. We’re not. We mostly just talk about basketball.

C: and then you give her a piggy back ride?

T: she bet me I couldn’t carry her. That was all

Then TJ tried to tell Cyrus to hangout with them more and Cyrus rejects that bc Kira knows Cyrus is Buffy’s best friend. Then Kira comes in to hoe around the scene and sits at the table. Says “heyyyy” all flirty to TJ 😒 and “hi Cyrus” direct and cold to Cyrus. Then becomes the most fake hoeeeee when pretending to agree with TJ that they should hang out more with Cyrus. Cyrus YEETS outta there and Mr. heart eyes looks like he created depression (it was that prevalent). Kira gets all needy and is like, “hellooo? I’m over here” and TJ just looks at her with the fakest angsty smile. Like why.

At the spoon, the GHC AND Jonah are sitting and Andi tells of this store called Mint Chip where they burn clothes rather than donate them bc it would make the brand look bad and lose sales if it’s with charity. Like??? Ok you actually look better with charity sooooo take two steps back B. Buffy gets the taste of wanting to be a bad guy (cue bad guy by Billie Eilish) and they all go dumpster diving and get the clothes from Mint Chip’s dumpster. Not much happens other than them stealing clothes and Buffy says her ankle hurts so she can’t get in the dumpster. IDK if that’s from the dehydration last episode (bc when she’s walking with Marty 😍 she’s limping) or if she fell wrong at the dumpster. It’s foreshadowing bc I know she has a hurt foot in a later episode so not sure where it will come in or why.

The kids have an outdoor “sidewalk sale” where they give away the free clothes from mint chip and some lady comes and gets a coat. She shows up later in the episode to tell Bex and CeCe about the sale but they do nothing. It was really weirdly staged like this character had more importance in the episode and got cut or she has importance later on. IDK? She just got a ton of screen time for it to go nowhere so we’ll see. And Cyrus is a Queen and styled some guy for an interview and Buffy is a Queen and styled a lady for a first online date. Then Jonah is just himself and doesn’t know what a pencil skirt is. *cue clothing sale montage with Jonah being a player and talking to lots of girls and the GHC+Jonah looking all sweet looking at pics from the day*

B&B get a wedding gift from Celia. It’s a snow globe from the night Bowie proposed, but since it’s mailed, was sent before CeCe knew about the cancellation. Bex tries to write her a thank you card but can’t and cries through it (great acting here too- Bex just takes the cake on acting TBH)

At the sale, Cyrus shows Buffy a shirt he wants to give to TJ (which isn’t a hoodie, surprisingly). He takes a pic & sends it to him to ask if he likes it and Buffy says “it’ll look good with his eyes” and Cyrus is all “it WILL 😍”

Buffy: he’s gonna like it. Why don’t you just give it to him?

C: I thought about that. I’m not sure how much he’s want that.

B: a free shirt??

C: ME. Giving him a free shirt.

B: there’s a great way to find out

C: what is it?

B: *forcing the shirt back to Cyrus* give him the shirt. Maybe it’ll mean something to him. Maybe it won’t. Either way, it’s a nice thing to do [seriously though I stan a Tyrus Ally]

C: it’s TJ. Thumbs up on the shirt *replying to Teej lol* you should come by the sale. It’s amazing. *back to the Vampire Slayer* was that too braggy?

B: not braggy enough

C: TJ *reading the message* I’m at the park *back to Buffy* what do you think that means?

B: he wants you to meet him?

C: you think

B: why else would he tell you where he is?

C: should I bring the shirt? I’m gonna being the shirt. *walks away and comes back* the shirt feels weird

B: then don’t take it

C: *walks away and comes back*

B: *whilst saying nothing hands Cyrus the shirt with a loving, yet so over Cyrus’ gay angst expression*

C: he’s gonna be expecting it... so I’m just gonna- yeah *yeets out of there in gay*

Kira and TJ at the park. Kira asks who TJ is texting and he says no one 😤 so TJ suggests feeding the ducks and Kira decides to hoe around yet again and suggests swinging first. She’s all flirty and TJ is ~not straight and not here for it~. He’s all like “I’m not five” like he doesn’t go swinging and Kira gets all competitive over who can swing higher and makes comments reflecting his and Cyrus’ convo which gets him to get on the swing (reluctantly) and also she is on Cyrus’ swing?? So umm? Get tf off???? And that’s when Cyrus pops around a tree, shirt in hand, to see THAT DISGUSTING MOCKERY OF A FRIENDSHIP I HATE IT SO MUCH??? EWWWW. And he’s all sad and angsty and jealous so he walks away **AND AS HE’S WALKING AWAY DOES A LOOK BACK SOOOOOOOOOO HE IS FOR SURE IN LOVE FREAKING HECK I CAN’T** and I just want to hug my boi and I can’t hug him and ugh 😭😭😭 my sad tears are here.

So Cyrus sees Buffy and tells her TJ was with Kira so that makes Buffy all annoyed (she’s a real one). Cyrus becomes a liar and says they’re “good together” again. Buffy tries to reassure him it won’t last, but Cyrus isn’t sure and now has this shirt he doesn’t know what to do with. He gives it to Jonah and says he has nice eyes too??? Like umm? Rebound much, Cyrus?? Like Boo. Don’t do that. I’m here for YOU. Jonah then tells some woman about how they pulled off the clothing shop and a police officer shows up. They don’t have a license to sell and never bought the clothing so they can’t give it for free. Next thing you know Bex is getting a call (after trying to make things right with CeCe AGAIN and more A+ acting.. seriously though freaking FORGIVE HER ALREADY SHE IS DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN) and runs with CeCe to go help bail the GHC+Jonah out of jail (this was also after the woman in the coat makes a 2 second appearance at cloud 10 to talk about the sale and NOTHING HAPPENS WITH HER SO WHY). The scene ends with the cell door closing so I hope next episode maybe this scare freaks CeCe enough into making up with Bex. But IDK.

I’ve got many mixed feelings about these episodes. Hope you enjoyed my highly detailed and opinionated synopsis of the show 😂😂 can’t wait for next week!! ❤️

Mobile Masterlist / Ko-Fi (Tips are appreciated! Money is tight at home :( so anything helps to pay the bills <3)

After Patty’s interruption that day, you and Barry have been more careful than ever. You don’t visit each other’s classrooms. You don’t send emails. You text but delete them at the end of the day. You’re aware of all the people around you more than ever before. The thrill of secret encounters has waned.

That’s not to say that your relationship is any less passionate. Just like before, you spend time together at your apartments, taking every chance you get to be wrapped in his arms. If you want to go out to dinner, Ronnie, Caitlin and Cisco join you. It looks like a Friday night drink with the teachers, and for some reason that’s more acceptable in public.

You’re almost late to work one morning when you and Barry refuse to let go of each other. Coming into the building at the same time, both of you late...it’s suspicious, you realize later on.

During your lunch break, you text Barry.

“We should take a break.” The read receipt comes and there’s no response for a few minutes. “Just put some space between us so people don’t get suspicious?”

Barry sends a sad face emoji. “A break? For how long?”

“...like...a week?”

“LOL ok I think I can manage that.”

“I can’t do this.”

Barry slumps into the chair at this desk. The glow of a desk lamp is all that fills his classroom. It’s 4 o’clock but with no windows, it might as well be midnight.

“I can’t take this anymore,” he sighs, pressing his phone to his ear. At the same time, his elbow is propped on the table and his phone is sandwiched between his cheek and his hand holding up his head. “I miss you.”

“I miss you too,” you reply on the other line.

“I thought the break was only going to be for a week. It’s been two weeks and now it’s Spring Break. We were supposed to go to the beach.”

“I know, I know,” you sigh too. “Believe me. I’d rather be home with you. But my cousin said this was urgent. I barely know these people but...”

“No, no, of course, I know. I completely understand. Your aunt is sick. This is important.” Barry’s chair creaks as he leans back, rubbing the back of his head. He smirks to himself. “I can still miss you though, right?”

“Of course.” He can hear your smile through the phone.

“I miss looking at you.”

“It’s not polite to stare.”

“I can’t help it. And I miss falling asleep with you, holding you in my arms. You always smell so good,” he mumbles.

“Should I have sprayed your pillow with my perfume?” you joke.

“No need. It still smells like you.”

“Ugh, Barry, I’ve told you more than once that you need to wash your sheets,” you playfully scold him and you both laugh until there’s a natural lull. Barry imagines that he can hear your breathing, hear your heartbeat through the phone.

“I love you, Y/N.”

“I love you too.”

“Come home to me soon?”

“Always.”

Another soft pause...the kind of pause two lovers might share with bated breath, wondering who is going to hang up first until finally one of you falls asleep with the phone still on.

“Mr. Allen?” a young, female voice speaks up, knocking on the door which she has already opened. “Do you have time to talk.”

“I’ve got to go.” Barry hangs up before he can catch her response. “Patty? Hi,” Barry says, stuffing his phone into his pocket and standing up from his desk.

He watches as Patty Spivot walks further into his classroom, setting her backpack down on a lab table. She’s wearing tight black Nike leggings, matching running shoes and a tank top; it’s obviously not her school uniform. She plays with her blonde ponytail, smoothing it out and pulling the length of it over her shoulder.

“I--uh--I didn’t think any students were left in the building. Aren’t you all supposed to have gone home for Spring Break?” he says, rubbing the back of his neck again. There’s something about the leisurely way she’s walking around the room that has Barry uneasy.

“We are. But I was finishing some stuff with the yearbook club, working on the team sports section. Sorry, though, if I interrupted your phone call.” She lifts her eyebrows inquisitively and frowns almost as if she's pouting.

“It’s fine.”

“Who were you on the phone with?”

“Um, it’s personal. Not really your concern.”

“Isn’t it, though?” Patty smiles coyly. Her pout is gone and instead she starts tracing her finger along the tabletop--a table that you had been sitting on just weeks ago...with Barry standing too close...just as Patty had walked in…

“I’m sorry, what? Do you have a question about the homework or…?”

“Do you have a girlfriend, Mr. Allen?”

“I don’t see how that’s any of your business...but yes…”

“She’s a very lucky woman.” Patty starts to walk towards Barry and an alarm goes off in his mind. He's never been in this situation before, but he can almost guess what's happening. He stands up straight and circles back around to his desk, hoping to put space between them.

“Patty, I don’t think this is an appropriate conversation.”

“Really? I thought so. You see, you work a lot, Mr. Allen. You work...very hard.” Patty bites her lower lip as she leans on his desk. “I wonder...how do you get to spend time with your girlfriend? Unless...Mr. Allen...unless, she works here?”

“She doesn’t.”

“Oh but doesn’t she, Barry?”

“Young lady, this is not appropriate behavior. You should not be calling me by my first name.” The words coming from his mouth sound just like his father's. How would Joe handle this situation? Who was Barry kidding? Joe would never be in this position.

“Oh but Barry... I know...I know you’re in a relationship with another teacher...or is it...a student?” How could she know?! Was she bluffing? Why? Why risk it?

“You’ve crossed a line.”

“So have you. Question is, are you willing to do it again?”

“What?”

“Mr. Allen, sir...you can’t really pretend that you don't know that all the girls at CCA have a crush on you.”

“What?” He’d always ignore the giggling and whispers. It was common with the teenage girls at all schools he had worked at, so he'd never thought much about it. He shouldn't have. It didn't matter that young girls liked him like that.

“You’re one of the hottest teachers here at CCA.”

“Miss Spivot,” he tries to sound firm and professional, scornful. It doesn’t seem to work. She just bats her eyelashes at him as she sits on his desk.

“You know...I’m 18.”

“That information is irrelevant.”

“Is it though? Because as an 18 year old, you can break the rules...with me. Don't tell me you've never thought about it?”

“I’ve no desire to do that.”

“Don’t you? I’ve seen the way you look at me.”

“What?!” Barry is genuinely taken aback, having no recollection of why she’d think that. How could she say it with such confidence?

“I’m your star student. Doesn’t that entitle me to something special? Maybe the only reason I'm passing is because you like me. I should return the favor somehow...” Patty slinks up to Barry, sliding her hands up his chest. Barry backs away until his back is against a wall. He's cornered. She pushes her red lips to the corner of Barry’s mouth. She’s wearing cherry-flavored chapstick.

It smells like cough syrup.

He’ll never use the medicine again.

He feels sick.

With only a slight amount of force, Barry grabs Patty’s shoulders and pushes her away. He holds her at bay as he walks away from his desk, across the room.

“Patricia Spivot. This conversation is over. Your behavior is absolutely inappropriate! I let it go on for too long.”

“Maybe because you wanted it to happen,” Patty spits out, her lower lip trembling from his rejection.

“No, Patty. I would never engage in inappropriate behavior with a student, 18 or not. It is a massive violation. You should leave before I report your behavior to Dr. Stein.”

“Oh yeah? Well, you know...I could go to the Dean too. I could tell him how you’re sleeping with a teacher and how you tried to seduce me too, by threatening to flunk me.”

“What is wrong with you? Why would you do that? Why would you make something like that up? I am not dating a teacher or a student.”

“Because Mr. Allen...you could have any woman you want. The whole schools agrees! And I’m old enough to be one of those women!” she shouts, tears starting to well in her eyes. “The boys here, in my grade, aren't good enough. I should be with an older man like you. So why won’t you take what I’m offering?” Older man? Barry is less than 10 years older than her. But that's irrelevant too.

“Because. Because Patty. It’s wildly inappropriate.I could lose my job and you're jeopardizing your future. It's against the rules.”

“Oh and dating another teacher isn’t?”

“I’m not dating another teacher,” he barks. “But I am in a relationship and I would never violate her trust. If anything, respect that, Patty. Respect my decision and leave before I report this.”

“You could try to report it...but if you do...I’ll just tell the Dean about how you’re having sex with another teacher and how she wasn’t enough for you...so you pursued me.”

Barry’s knuckles are white and his chest is heaving with angry, deep, breaths.

“Patty, get out.”

“Fine.” Patty picks up her belongings and walks toward the door. “I’ll see you after Spring Break, though. My offer will still stand.”

The click of the door closing and Barry locking it afterwards sound like the lock of a cage. What the fuck just happened and what was he going to do about it? Should he tell you? Should he tell the Dean? If he questioned Patty, there’s no telling what secret she’d spill. Who knew if she was even telling the truth? Maybe she was bluffing?

Taking a few calming breaths, Barry prays nothing would come of this.
