educator

Ewa and her friend decided to go on holiday with a travel agency that had advertised offers at their school. They signed up and, after paying a certain amount, waited for the trip. After a few days, the girls were waiting at the meeting point for all the participants. A boy immediately caught Ola's eye. Ewa noticed a man, no older than 23, who was constantly talking to the trip organizers. He boarded the bus with them. When they arrived, two rather young men were waiting for them, and the third was the one who had boarded the bus with them. It turned out they were the teachers. Ewa and Ola ended up in the one from the bus. The teacher's name was Krzysiek and he was 20 years old. We got a double room with a bathroom, but... next to the teacher. They were in the middle of unpacking when someone gently knocked on their door. They shouted, "Come in!"

"Sorry, girls, but it's time for dinner..." he said, very shyly, before they went down to the cafeteria.

Ola had been hitting on this guy she'd liked since he'd arrived at the meeting. She'd already learned his name was Grzesiek. After dinner, Ewa went to take a shower. She hadn't heard Krzysiek arrive. She came out in just a towel and was speechless when she saw him. Not a single one of them said a word. Only Ola broke the tension:

"Ewka, get dressed or you'll be sick." Ewa immediately grabbed her pajamas and disappeared behind the bathroom door. When she came out, Krzysiek was still sitting on her bed as if nothing had happened. They talked for a while about planned trips and the next day. They didn't call him "sir," but simply "Krzysiek." He'd suggested it himself. He was only three years older, so he didn't feel so old, as he himself admitted. The next day at 8 a.m., someone knocked softly on the door. Ola answered. It was Krzysiek: "Wake-up call," he whispered.

"Ewa will never get up this early. Ewa never gets up this early," Ewa tried to explain. Krzysiek thought for a moment and said: "If you wake her up, tell her there's a surprise waiting for her if she gets up." He smiled mischievously and went to wake the others. Ola knew Krzysiek had caught Ewa's eye, so she tried to break the news to her. It wasn't easy, because Ewa was sleeping soundly, but eventually it dawned on her that there would be a surprise. Then she jumped up and was ready to leave within minutes. At breakfast, Krzysiek was staring at Ewa. Ewa pretended not to notice, but towards the end of the meal, Ola pointed out, "Look, Krzysiek is staring at you the whole time." After breakfast, they went shopping. They bought sweets and something to drink. In the afternoon, Krzysiek knocked on their door, and when Ola opened it, he said to Ewa, "A surprise awaits in the room next door." He didn't have to wait long for a reaction. She jumped out of bed and went to see what the surprise was. She'd forgotten that the room next door was the teacher's room, but when she remembered, it was too late.

"So? Did you find a surprise?" she heard Krzysiek's voice behind her.

"No, really," she tried to explain.

"Why didn't you tell me you liked me?" he asked, standing behind her.

Ewa turned, looked at him, and ran out of the room. She stormed into her own room and started screaming at Ola: "Why did you tell him that? You ruined everything!" It was clear she was very upset. Ola didn't know what was going on and finally asked: "Ewka, what are you talking about?" There was a question in her voice.

"What do you mean, what? You told Krzywek I liked him!" she practically screamed at Ola.

"I don't know anything and I didn't say anything..." her friend tried to explain.

Ewa ran out of the room. She sat down in a chair by the cafeteria and thought about what had happened. She didn't even realize she had fallen asleep. She was woken by someone's touch, very gentle, and whispers: Ewa...wake up...come to your room...it's late.... She opened her eyes and it was Krzysiek. He was kneeling beside her, trying to wake her up.

"I've been looking for you all over the facility...why did you run out like that?" he tried to ask gently.

"It was supposed to be different ..." she whispered.

"But what was it supposed to be?" he didn't understand.

"Ola wasn't supposed to say that..." she tried to explain.

"But Ola didn't tell me anything...I just wanted to check if my intuition was correct." He smiled.

He kissed her on the cheek and they left. The next day, immediately after breakfast, Krzysiek called Ewa to her room. She knocked nervously. After a few seconds, he opened the door for her. She sat down on the bed, unsure what to say.

"Since you didn't let me get a word in edgewise, I have to say it now." He spoke the words rather shyly. I've liked you... from day one... he almost began.

Ewa was so shocked she wanted to jump for joy. He kissed her both on the lips, and for quite a while. From then on, they spent their free time together. In the evenings, they either sat in Ewa's room or at his. They didn't show it "outwardly," but they were very much in love. And it wasn't just a "winter" love..
