At a school in a socially deprived area

Ms. Fischer had made a conscious decision to work where it mattered most, so she ended up here.

The comprehensive school was a reservoir for everyone who hadn't made it elsewhere. Many of the students were unmotivated, lazy, lied, cheated wherever they could and, moreover, all had personal histories full of problems and pathetic stories.

Ms. Fischer was often too gullible or even downright naive and let her pupils fool her over and over again.

But on the other hand, those among the students who actually wanted to try again to escape the pull downward knew that they had someone in Ms. Fischer who would genuinely support them.

All in all, a challenging and stressful job for Gretchen. That had already had a negative effect on the private life of the committed teacher.

Her boyfriend had run away at some point because he had felt neglected ... well to be honest he had even cheated on Gretchen with one of her best friends! Which in turn led to the young teacher's small circle of friends shrinking further. Sexually, there hasn't been much going on since then. Well apart from what a woman can do to herself ...

Even months after the purchase, Gretchen remembered how interested and yet mostly embarrassed she had walked through a sex shop in a large, anonymous neighboring city to buy a nice dildo. Of course, she could have ordered it much easier online, but the computer scientist in her had pointed out the maddening of data collection on the internet and if Ms. Fischer didn't want something, then someone somewhere in the world would find out that she had bought the elegant dildo "Diamond Lover" ...

No, Gretchen Fischer was very traditional ..... you could also say prudish.

The city had already held a whole series of culture shocks in store for the young country girl at the start of her studies.

Nowadays the young woman Gretchen had become was accustomed to most of these things, yet deep inside here the influence of her, as she called it "classical, upbringing was still strong leading to her feeling uncomfortable.
