Just a weird memory of mine

I remember reading an article when I was about 12 in this womens magazine. Basically it started off with this girl who was 14 (it's hard for me to remember the details now) but basically she was in highschool and she was playing a sport ( I want to say rugby?) and one of her teachers was the coach, and I guess she really liked him. Eventually in one of her classes she was talking to him after the class ended and he made an awkward pass at her saying something along the lines of that he liked her and she and him started spending time together. She would go see him (obviously saying she was somewhere else) and they would also drive off during lunch period. To me it sounded like a love story the way the girl was describing it and her feelings about it. She said they only had sex once in his car because they had no where else to go, and he was married but hated his marriage and wanted to divorce his wife or w/e. She said she was happy, that he loved her and understood her, cared about her dreams and goals. She was the author of the article and the way she described it was that she was with this wonderful guy. It ended once one of her friends found out and told a school councellor. Then he was taken away to jail and she was heart-broken, having him ripped away from her.

Of course then she went on to say that she talked to councellors and came to the realization that she was being used, and he had manipulated her into being with him. That he was just using her and had used his position in authority to take advantage of her. I remember reading this in shock, I was to niave to realize that any sort of published story like this has to end this way, I don't know what I thought was going to happen but just the way the girl herself had been describing it, she had seemed so happy. I just didn't expect it to end like that, and that her feelings would change so much. She said the man even said he loved her while he was in court, that he would always love her.

But I guess its easier to believe a monster has gone to jail for manipulating you then the man you loved is in jail because you were 4 years to young. Probably easier to live with yourself. Even when I was 12 I realized that something was so wrong with this picture. Oh well.
