A story in the The High-school Affair Universe
14 year old Jay Wilson is having an affair with his 32 year old teacher Karruche. They get caught in the act by Ms Celeste, the high-school principal; who gives them a stern talking to but lets them go; saying it would be more trouble than it is worth to report them. But her decision to let them go is not what it seems. Her decision to let them go is not because she wants no fuss or problems, it is far simpler than that. She lets them go because she wants Jay for herself

All eight chapters can be read in isolation, but the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
