Expelled for Loving My Teacher

When my secret love letter is discovered, my mother is forced to read every word aloud in front of the whole class—exposing not just my shame, but my forbidden obsession with my own homeroom teacher. My family's poverty, my sacrifices, and my hopeless longing are laid bare for everyone to judge. Now, as I stand humiliated and broken, I must choose: run from my feelings, or confess the truth and walk away from the only future I've ever wanted.
