Robin sighed, smiling in a way that she was more in awe of his naivette than in annoyance of it. The teacher shook her head as she looked at her student, "Oh no, no, noooo! You can't say<em>that.</em>"<br/><br/>She licked her lips, trying to find the words, and then nodded her head to the side, conceding, "Okay... yeah, I mean, sometimes it<em>doesn't</em>work out. You ask someone out and there's not interested... or... whatever."<br/><br/>"But it'll<em>never</em>work out if you don't just... get out there!" Miss Kyle smiled, trying to reassure him... but it didn't seem to be working. He was still as nervous as always.<br/><br/>"Besides... I know how you boys think." She said with a smirk as she lowered her head and raised one shoulder, "You can't tell me you don't think about that sort of thing at all..."<br/><br/>She shook her head, trying to distance herself from what she was saying. It was no secret that these guys were in the throes of their youthful passion, those who hadn't already explored their sexuality were eager to do so. "It's okay. Really, it's natural to think about those kind of things."<br/><br/>Robin didn't understand... she thought about what could have made him so self-conscious; really religious parents? Bad experience? Some big secret? Whatever it was, it couldn't have been as bad as he was letting on. She was still aware of neither Aki nor Terry's own growing... excitement.
