imsoclueless Senior(lol that's fair)
Connor exhaled shakily, leaning into Evan's side. The door opened after a moment and Jensen met eyes with the boys, a confused look on her face. "Hello, you two," she spoke with a small smile. "Can- Can we come in?" Connor asked quietly, his hands shaking. "Sure, what's up?" She said gently, gesturing for them to come inside. -
“Um, well,” Evan paused, pulling the pictures up on his phone. “I guess we.. came out at school today? And people aren’t being too nice about it,” he said, showing her some of the pictures.
-
imsoclueless SeniorJensen took in the images for a moment before groaning, rubbing her temples. "God, when are people going to learn to f---ing grow up," she muttered, turning towards her desk. "I'm assuming you two are here asking for help, am I right?" Connor nodded, letting go of Evan's hands and picking at the skin around the nail of his thumb. "Yeah, k-kind of." "Look, I- and I mean it when I say this, I want to help, but- These kind of things involving social media are basically impossible to fix. Once it's out there, there's no way to get rid of it, y'know?"
-
Evan frowned, grabbing onto one of Connor’s hands again to get him to stop picking at his skin. “Exactly, so find the people who did it and punish them somehow.”
-
imsoclueless Senior"And do what, exactly? Take away their phones until the end of the day? Make them delete the posts??" Jensen spoke, crossing her arms. "There's quite literally not much I can do, since anyone's allowed to post what they want on social media." Connor exhaled shakily, his heart beginning to race. "I'm so sorry this happened to you two, really, but there's nothing I can really do..."
-
“No, I don’t know, make them water boy for the f---ing baseball team for two weeks??” Evan exclaimed angrily. “You were more active in finding me and giving me a punishment when I skipped detention than you are for these students who are literally calling us slurs.”
-
imsoclueless Senior"When they start physically and verbally harassing you, in person, that's when I can step in," Jensen spoke, her voice raising. She sighed, rubbing her face with her hands. "I'm sorry, I- There's just nothing I can do to get them to stop, considering by now, most likely every student in this school has made posts or commented or interacted with those posts. What, do I give the whole school detention??"
-
“Why not?? None of this s--- is ever gonna stop if you don’t do something,” Evan said angrily, crossing his arms.
-
imsoclueless Senior"I never said I wouldn't try my best to solve this," Jensen said, leaning against her desk. "I will be personally pulling aside each and every student who I find out has made posts about you two, but just know I can't force them to take down the photos. But, if someone does try and harass you two, you come to me and I will personally deal with them myself," she spoke, making eye contact with Evan.
-
“So, do you basically want me to go pick a fight with someone, and let them hit me first so I can come find you?” Evan said, glaring right back at her. “Because I’d rather get f---ing hit by every goddamn kid in this school than see any of those pictures again. Or see Conner panic like he did when I showed him.”
-
imsoclueless Senior"Ev, calm down, please," Connor spoke up, looking over at his boyfriend. "She said she'll try her best to solve this, okay? Please don't be upset..."
-
Evan took a deep breath, rubbing his eye and glancing over to his boyfriend. “I’m- I’m not upset. But what do we do now?”
-
imsoclueless Senior"Just- Try and ignore it for now, okay?" Jensen said, going to her laptop on her desk. "Ignore the photos, because anyone who s---s on them and on you only thinks poorly of themselves or is projecting," she added, rolling her eyes. "What all platforms are people posting these images on?"
-
“Mainly snapchat and instagram,” Evan said, putting his phone away.
-
imsoclueless SeniorJensen nodded, typing away on her laptop. "I really am sorry this is happening to you two- It's definitely not the first time someone's been outed online and it certainly won't be the last," she muttered, sighing. "I promise, I will work on trying to fix this." "Thank you, Mrs. Jensen," Connor spoke softly, his voice still shaky.
