I have no idea-- you need to repeat that again more clearly. i.e.

Is this during lesson or break?

What do you mean he made your friends go outside? Why was this?

Playing favourites between who;; you and your friends?

Ok;;

With that info be able to tell you better;;; also, what is this flirty teacher usually like with you - has he ever said anything weird to you; is he usually favouring towards you? How old is he?

'Not playing favourites' on its own means; he wont treat you favouringly above others.

'right now' means he is not in the mood; or you cant convince him. If he is suggesting that you are usually trying to convince him to be favourist.

May also be saying this to show off in front of colleague or your friends

Seems a bit funny he said 'right now' quite flirtacious..

Anyway be better if you gave me more info.;

nicole5178 agony auntHe was probably referring to him favoring you. Lots of times older men can come off as flirty, even if they just mean it in a joking way. I don't really know why he'd make your friend leave.... He was probably just messing with your head. When teachers get together, they like to do that type of thing for some reason, so that they can laugh about it or something. I don't know why. I've had teachers do that a lot, like this one time one of my teachers asked me to pick something up for him that he had dropped, so it was like why did I have to pick it up?, and then another teacher said "No! Don't pick it up!" So I stopped, and then the other teacher laughed and said "No, I'm kidding. Pick it up." I just thought, 'wow, you guys are lame.'

Don't worry about it. But also don't go into situations that make you uncomfortable. You can always leave. If something else happens where he's forward with you again, either tell him to back off or tell your parents he's being inappropriate. Hope that helps... good luck!!

birdynumnums agony auntIt's not necessary to stay somewhere that you are not comfortable. No teacher should expect you to be alone with him. The next time he asks you boyfriend to leave, go with your boyfriend. Tell your parents that he is being inappropriate.

Collaroy agony auntI dont know, why don't you relay this message to your parents. I am sure they will at least be interested in why your teacher apparently flirts with an underage girl.
