All during class, Nora was unconsciously staring at Emily. What did she mean by that? Was Emily serious about helping make Nora popular? Or was she being made a fool? Then there was that smile just before they entered the classroom. What was with that?
As the teacher droned on about world history (which Nora didn't care about), she thought back to earlier. When everyone saw her shaved hairy legs in a skirt. Everyone watched her.
Everyone LAUGHED at her.
Yet it didn't upset her. Hearing all the jeers, it made her feel weird.
Did she like it?
--------------------------------------------
During lunch, Nora ate alone. Like she has done since freshman year. Choosing a table far away from everyone. Away from prying eyes. Today she had a tuna melt sandwich, with a bag of chips and a bottle of off-brand cola. She then placed her phone on the table, opened her anime app and began watching the latest episode of an anime she liked.
It was rather...racy, to say the least of it. The anime was about a girl who went to highschool and like Nora, was a wallflower and a social outcast.
That is until she met a girl who resembled Emily and made her an offer. She would help her become popular...but at a price.
Except that while Emily had medium length dark brown hair, a slender oval face, a pair of crystal clear blue eyes and a full pouty mouth.
The girl in the anime had long black hair that reached to her back, an oval angular face, big doll-like eyes and a small full mouth.
In either case, both were sweet, kind, compassionate and openly friendly to everyone.
Except the girl in the anime had a dark side to her. A side that the main girl would find out when she began her so called "training".
It made Nora think about Emily. Maybe she had a dark side as well. After all, it would explain the smile Nora swore she saw on Emily's face for a brief second, when they stepped into the classroom.
Just as Nora was thinking that, someone sat across from her. She was in the middle of taking a big bite out of her tuna melt sandwich when the person across from her spoke.
"That any good?" asked the girl whose voice Nora recognized.
Emily?
Nora nearly fell out of her seat. W-why was Emily sitting at her table? Luckily Nora caught herself in time. She then noticed that Emily was accompanied by two somewhat pretty blonde girls named Jessica and Taylor. Both had short strawberry blonde hair and wore practically the same outfit.
Both to Nora's knowledge were the typical bitchy valley girl type. Who thought everyone was beneath them and that their shit don't stink.
Either way, Nora felt...intimidated by all three of them. But mostly by Emily though.
"I-I'll go," Nora said meekly, "I-I d-didn't realize this was your table."
She then gathers her lunch and tried to stand up. To get away from Emily. Who tilts her head in confusion. Then smiles at her.
"You're fine sweetie," said Emily.
Nora sat back down and stared at the table.
"Is that how you show thanks to the one who saved your ass?" spat Jessica, "So ungrateful!"
"Like yeah," agreed Taylor, "totes ungrateful."
They both started laughing. It made Nora feel...excited.
"What the hell is wrong with me today?" thought Nora.
The next thing Nora heard was a loud slap. One of the girls (Jessica) recoiled in fear, holding her reddened cheek. Emily stood glaring at her.
"What the hell Em?" said Jessica in confused shock.
"You should mind your place." Emily said coldly.
She then sat back down. Jessica looked at Emily with fear in her eyes, same as Taylor. Was that a common thing with her friends?
"I'm sorry for my friend's rudeness," Emily said clearing her throat.
"It's fine," said Nora meekly.
"You're probably wondering why I'm sitting with you right now right?" said Emily.
"Not really," said Nora, "well...exactly...yeah."
"It's because of what you told me," Emily stated.
Nora gave her a confused look. Emily then sighs.
"You said you wanted to be as popular as me," she then said, "your own words if I recall correctly."
"Ah that," said Nora, "well let's be honest here. There's just no way in hell I can get as popular as you."
Emily chuckles.
"Well not with that attitude!" she said.
Nora then felt Emily grab her hand across the table.
"But when I'm done with you," Emily continued saying, "EVERYONE will be talking about you and noticing things."
"W-What type of things?" Nora asked amd gulped.
"You know...things," said Emily and smiles.
"Like sexual things?" thought Nora, "Would I finally get a boyfriend?"
As if reading her mind, Emily smiles like a mischievous smile at Nora.
"Guys likes girls who are pretty and attractive," Emily stated, "so if you WANT a boyfriend...then you have to go through my training."
"Then w-what type of training is it?" asked Nora.
"We'll get to that...later." said Emily with a wave of her hand, "All I want from you is a yes or a no."
Was she being tested?
"Explain," asked Nora.
"For me to HELP you," stated Emily sweetly, "I need your answer. So yes or no."
Without thinking, Nora blurted out a yes loudly. A few people turned their heads to face her. Nora blushed. Emily nodded her head.
"Good," she said, "We'll begin after school today."
"Where?" asked Nora.
"Meet me by the front office and I'll tell you." said Emily.
With that, Emily then stood up and stepped away from the table. Jessica and Taylor both stood nearby murmuring.
Emily looked at them.
"Come," she said commandingly.
Both girls then followed behind Emily, as if like dogs.
Nora was nervous, yet anxious after they left. Would she finally be as popular as Emily Santing?
"Oh by the way Nora," Emily said and turns around, "you should REALLY avoid reading gaudy books like the one you bought yesterday."
She then walks off followed by Jessica and Taylor. Nora was perplexed. How did Emily know about that beauty book?
"There's no way she knows what I bought." thought Nora.
Unless of course if she was there herself. But there is no way that would be possible. It was a used book store. One that Nora frequently went to on her way home or on the weekends. She would have noticed Emily immediately.
Nora hardly finished her lunch, when afternoon classes resumed. Her stomach silently grumbling in protest. Thank god last period was study hall. It gave her a bit to catch up on her homework and sneakily continue watching the latest episode of that anime she couldn't watch at lunch.
She got up to the part where the main girl found out what her training was and it got rather...racy. Nora's cheeks went red when the main girl was stripped naked in front of everyone and spanked raw by the popular girl.
Nora blushed deeply at that scene. Why did it make her feel weird? Why did it make her feel hot and slightly aroused?
After school ended for the day, Nora went to the meeting spot. As she got there, she found Emily waiting patiently. Once she saw Nora, she gives a sweet smile.
"Good of you to remember to meet me here," she said.
Emily then proceeds to pat Nora on the head, like she was a puppy.
