On Being a Man in a Girls' School

Bringing a young man into an all girls' school, where many of those girls were reaching that difficult and dangerous age with boys, was a risk, but Steve's references had been outstanding, and his qualifications, stellar. The principal had interviewed him personally, reaching the conclusion that he would be impervious to all but the most determined young woman, but then what man had a hide that thick? She would keep track of him where needed, and would know where he was at all times.He and Margaret bumped into each other a couple of times. She had learned that he was refurbishing the swimming pool, and asked if she might see it. Unfortunately, she accidentally sent him into the pool, falling in with him. What now? They would shower of course, but fully clothed, at first, to get rid of the chlorine smell. But what then? She would have to trust him.As difficult as all that had been, it got more intense a year later when she caused another accident for him. This one was more engaging, and also got significantly out of hand between them in a very passionate and intimate way, but not one that either of them was likely to regret. Not the way they began to feel for each other.
