The boy from English class finally worked up the nerve to talk to me. I wish he hadn’t.
Here’s something I’ve learned about high school: the line between curiosity and cruelty is thinner than you think.
Everett Hayes has been staring at me all semester. In chemistry. In the hallway. In the cafeteria, when he thinks I’m not looking. I’ve ignored him, the way I ignore most stares. I’ve moved seats, changed my walking routes, and adjusted my schedule to avoid him.
But you can’t avoid someone who’s determined to find you.
It happens on a Thursday, after the third period. I’m walking to my locker, my backpack slung over one bare shoulder, my mind on the register and Silas and the notebook and the meeting and Fern and Baker and a thousand other things that have nothing to do with Everett Hayes.
He steps in front of me. Blocks my path.
“Hey, Kate.”
I stop. Look at him. He’s tall, sandy-haired, with the kind of face that’s trying very hard to be charming and not quite succeeding.
“Hey, Everett.”
“I’ve been wanting to talk to you.”
“Okay.”
He glances around. The hallway is crowded with students pushing past us, lockers slamming, voices echoing off the tile walls. No one is paying attention to us.
“I’m sorry,” he says. “About before. The staring. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”
I wait. There’s more. I can feel it.
“I was just ... curious. You know? About the whole nudity thing.” He shifts his weight from foot to foot. “I mean, you’re the only person I’ve ever met who you know.”
“Naked all the time?”
“Yeah. That.”
I don’t say anything. I just wait.
“So I was wondering,” he continues, lowering his voice, “do you ever ... You know ... get turned on? Just walking around? Because I think I would. If I were you.”
The hallway doesn’t stop. The lockers keep slamming. The voices keep echoing.
But for me, everything goes quiet.
The Question
I’ve been asked a lot of invasive questions since I started the program.
Do you ever get cold? (Yes. Constantly.)
What do your parents think? (My mom is supportive. My dad is absent. Next question.)
Isn’t it illegal? (No. There’s a pilot program. Look it up.)
Are you trying to make people uncomfortable? (I’m trying to live my life. Your discomfort is your problem.)
But no one has ever asked me if I get turned on. No one has ever been that explicit. No one has ever reduced my nudity to something so purely, stupidly sexual.
I stare at Everett. He’s waiting for an answer, his head tilted, his expression somewhere between curious and hopeful.
“That’s not an appropriate question,” I say. My voice is steady. I’m proud of that.
“It’s just a question.”
“It’s not ‘just’ anything. It’s invasive. It’s personal. And it’s none of your business.”
His face falls. “I wasn’t trying to”
“I don’t care what you were trying to do. You asked. I answered. Now I need to get to class.”
I step around him and keep walking.
“Kate”
I don’t look back.
The Aftermath
I made it to the fourth period. I sit down in my seat. I stare at the board without seeing it.
My hands are shaking.
Not from the cold. From anger. From the hot, bright fury that’s burning in my chest.
Do you ever get turned on?
How dare he? How dare he reduce my body, my life, my choice, my two years of freezing rain and stares and courage to a question about arousal?
I think about Fern, crying in the bathroom stall. I think about Baker, hiding in his hoodie. I think about all the people who think they have a right to know, to ask, to touch.
I think about the program’s anti-harassment policies. The Title IX coordinator. The incident reports that Piper files that never go anywhere.
I think about the notebook in my backpack. The photographs. The evidence.
I’m not going to let this one slide, I decide.
The Report
After school, I walk to the Title IX coordinator’s office.
Her name is Ms. Vasquez. She’s young, maybe thirty, with kind eyes and a professional manner that suggests she’s seen too much. Her office is small, cluttered with files and posters about consent and bystander intervention.
“Come in,” she says when I knock. “Kate, right?”
“Right.”
She gestures to the chair across from her desk. I sit. The seat is cold against my bare thighs.
“What can I help you with?”
I tell her about Everett. About the staring, the way he’d been watching me all semester. About the question he asked today. The exact words. Do you ever get turned on just walking around?
Ms. Vasquez listens without interrupting. She takes notes on a yellow legal pad. Her expression doesn’t change.
When I’m done, she sets down her pen.
“Thank you for reporting this,” she says. “What you experienced is a violation of the student code of conduct. The question Everett asked is sexually harassing in nature, regardless of his intent.”
“I know.”
“I’ll need to interview him. I’ll also need to interview any witnesses. Do you know if anyone heard what he said?”
I shake my head. “The hallway was crowded. But no one was paying attention.”
“That’s okay. We’ll proceed anyway.” She pauses. “Kate, I should tell you that the consequences for Everett will likely be a warning. A formal warning was documented in his file. But unless there’s a pattern of behavior, it won’t result in suspension or expulsion.”
“I know.”
“Are you okay with that?”
I think about it. About whether a warning is enough. About whether anything is enough.
“I’m okay with it,” I say. “I just want it on the record. So if he does it again to me or to anyone else, there’s a paper trail.”
Ms. Vasquez nods. “That’s a very mature perspective.”
“I’ve had a lot of practice.”
She almost smiles. Almost.
The Fallout
It takes three days for the news to spread.
Ms. Vasquez interviews Everett. He admits to asking the question, but says he “didn’t mean anything by it” and “was just curious.” She issues him a formal warning. He has to write an apology letter and attend a workshop on sexual harassment.
None of that is public knowledge. But high school is a small world, and secrets don’t stay secret for long.
By Friday, everyone knows that Kate O’Sullivan reported Everett Hayes.
