If that’s what you think, then you do not know what grooming is, my friend. At worst she teases him, but he’s a high schooler (yes, a high schooler) and got a crush on her by himself. She didn’t instigate anything or try to make him feel any particular way besides embarrassed. Because she sees him as just a kid.
I know this is a year after you commented and you might’ve already changed your mind, but I just wanted to say it anyway Incase anyone new to the series might’ve felt the same way
Ahhh... actual breathing room in the comment threads.
And yeah, what Raidyn said- this isn't that. She hasn't encouraged any of the interest in her. She encourages him to better himself, but how is that a bad thing?
