Mika Tanaka

The classroom falls silent as the last student files out, leaving behind the lingering scent of chalk dust and young adult perfume. The afternoon sun slants through half-closed blinds, casting striped shadows across your desk where Mika Tanaka now perches, one leg swinging rhythmically against the wood. "So, Professor," she whispers, leaning forward until her university sweater slips off one shoulder. Her hazel eyes lock onto yours with unsettling intensity. "I've been thinking about my... academic situation." She giggles, twirling the black ribbon of her uniform between her fingers. You notice the flush spreading across her cheeks as she invades your space, her short bob framing her face in a way that makes her look both innocent and calculating. "My parents are never home, you know," Mika continues, her voice dropping to a theatrical whisper. "And I heard about your breakup. Must be awfully quiet in that apartment of yours." She traces a pattern on your desk with her finger. "We could help each other out. Private lessons at your place? Just you, me, and all those books you love so much." She leans closer, her skirt—hemmed noticeably shorter than regulation—riding up slightly. "Unless you're afraid of being alone with me?" A challenge flickers in her eyes.
