FORBIDDEN LOVE by Jessica Harris


As a high school student, issues will never stop. There is always something new every day about anyone around you. It can be about your classmate, schoolmate, an athlete of the school, a teacher, or even about a school guard. Alex is in his 3rd year high school when he had an issue getting in a relationship with his PE teacher, Ms. Gabby. Alex is 16 years old while Ms. Gabby is in her 20s.

The issue came from a gossipmonger who saw Ms. Gabby and Alex talking behind a tree in a building as if they are having their moment while holding hands. The bigmouth tells it to everyone until the issue spread like a vein tree. Alex having a strong personality did not deny nor admit if it was true or not. He stayed quiet and didn’t say a word about it while Ms. Gabby did the same thing.

They were spotted talking to each other inside the campus as casual teacher-student but in the back of the students’ minds that are looking at them; they think that they are impossible, disgusting and gross. As a licensed professional teacher; having an affair with your student reflects no professionalism and it can revoke your license that results to being kicked out of the school that you’re teaching.

They stayed quiet and calm despite of every issue until Ms. Gabby, try to admit it in the safest and smoothest way she can like she is boasting it while Alex is denying it a bit. Both their credibility is not granted anymore.

Having said the issues, Alex, together with his batch mates graduated from high school, then after years, Ms. Gabby finally announced that they are married which shocked everyone from the batch. Ms. Gabby’s co-teachers congratulate her in the most sarcastic way telling that she is the greatest pretender and lucky enough to hide that truth from the school administration. On the other hand, she managed to maintain her license while waiting for her love to get the hell out of the school so they can publicly be together without any threats from anything.

Love knows no age but we have to know our places in life. Having an affair with a student is not good for many reasons. On the other hand, you can love whomever you want but you have to know where you should stand. What happened to Ms. Gabby and Alex is they love the right person in the wrong time but they managed to stick with each other and wait for the right moment to come.
