[Cut to Plaintiff lawyer]
Plaintiff lawyer: Did you feel pressured into being physical with Ms. Luna?
[Cut to Gabbin Deli]
Gabbin Deli: Um, no. I instigated it. After school, I went in and said, “What can I do for some extra credit?” And it was on.
[Cut to Judge and Gabbin Deli]
Judge: Look at you.
[Cut to Plaintiff lawyer]
Plaintiff lawyer: Mr. Deli. You mother said you came home that day and felt sick.
[Cut to Gabbin Deli]
Gabbin Deli: Oh, yeah. I asked for some time in home because I was fist pumping the entire walk home from school, and my arm muscles were a little sore.
[Cut to Plaintiff lawyer]
Plaintiff lawyer: How would you describe your mental state after the affair began?
[Cut to Gabbin Deli]
Gabbin Deli: Um, I’d say it felt like what Disney Land is.
[Cut to Janet Johnson-luna blushing]

[Cut to Plaintiff lawyer]
Plaintiff lawyer: Mr. Deli, when your classmates became aware of your relationship with Ms. Luna, what happened at school?

Gabbin Deli: I just remember giving thousands of high-fives.
[Cut to Plaintiff lawyer]
Plaintiff lawyer: Did the kids call you names?
[Cut to Gabbin Deli]

[Cut to Plaintiff lawyer]
Plaintiff lawyer: Noted. Now, Mr. Deli, were you bullied as the result of the affair?
[Cut to Gabbin Deli]

[Cut to Plaintiff lawyer]
Plaintiff lawyer: Are you okay, your honor?
[Cut to Judge laughing]

[Cut to Plaintiff lawyer]
Plaintiff lawyer: [clears throat as to get attention] Mr. Deli, how did your relationship with the defendant affect your home life?

[Cut to Gabbin Deli]
Gabbin Deli: Um, she did say she wanted to meet that weekend but my schedule was so hectic. I had some meet and greets. And that Sunday, it was Gabbin night at the minor league hockey game. And I was asked to ride the zamboni and sing, “Hot for Teacher.”
[Cut to Plaintiff lawyer]
