I recommend reading the previous chapters of this story. If you want to read this chapter anyway, know that this story takes place at Dremeder University, a place where some majors dominate others. Andrea, a math major, is the Mistress of Leah, a sociology major.

I made none of the same mistakes of yesterday. I woke up right at six, avoiding punishment from Andrea. I had a class at eight in the morning, so Andrea and I parted ways as soon as we exited the dorm. I waved to the lobby boys as I left.
Why were they always in the lobby?
I wondered.
My first class was Calculus II. When I entered, I caught Rue sitting near the back. She smiled at me and beckoned me to sit next to her. Rue and I half made up at dinner the other day, but that did not mean I had to be all friendly with her. I turned to sit somewhere away from her but every other seat was either taken or had some sketchy person next to it. Then again, everyone at Dremeder had to be at least a little bit sketchy. Including me. In fact, I was probably high on the sketchiness radar since I was one of the few people who were required to be completely naked.
I sighed and walked over to Rue. Her eyes darted over my naked body as I sat next to her.
"You can stop staring," I said. My collar felt tighter than normal.
She shrugged. "I'm surprised you're in this class. I needed to take Calc I and II for psychology."
A couple more students filled the room. Then a young person walked to the front of the classroom. I thought she was a student until she started speaking.
"My name is Dara Tris," she began. "I'm not a 'Dr.' yet, so just call me Ms. Tris. It would be unfair to the people that have earned the title of 'Dr.' to address me as such, so don't. Anyways, the syllabus... it exists. I'm now going to quickly review limits, though you should already be familiar with the concept from Calc I."
I had already pulled out a notebook and was ready to take notes. Rue, on the other hand, unzipped one pocket of her bag, then rezipped it, then unzipped another pocket, then pulled out a notebook, and rezipped the pocket, then unzipped the first pocket, then pulled out a pencil pouch, then unzipped the pouch and out a pencil, then rezipped the pouch, then put the pencil pouch back in her bag, then rezipped the bag.
"That's enough review. The point is, make sure to respect limits."
By the time Rue settled down, Ms. Tris had already finished reviewing Calc I stuff and was moving on to material for Calc II. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that Rue's face was pale and that her pencil was not moving. I had a feeling she was going to struggle this semester.
When class was over, I could see beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Leah, wait up!" she said. I still had some animosity towards her, but I slowed down a bit so that she could catch up. "That was awful. I
so
did not expect her to jump right into the concepts. Usually, teachers spend a bit of time talking about the class structure and whatnot."
I just nodded, looking straight ahead as I walked to my next class.
Seeing that I was not talking, Rue branched away from me. "See you later, I guess," she said.
My next class was Sociology 140, which was a class on research methods, surveying, creating polls, and interpreting data. It went without a hitch, as did History 120, which was a whole course on Dimensional History, whatever that means.
I got back to the dorm, waving to the lobby boys before heading up the stairs.
Were they ever not in the lobby?
In the room, Andrea had left some lunch on my desk. No croissant. I ate it and started working on homework.
For Sociology 101 (my class from yesterday), I had to read a chapter of the textbook, which I was supposed to buy. Instead of buying it, I found a file online. I had not made any progress on reading the day before (since I was sort of out of it). Today, however, I was determined to be productive.
And I was in the zone. I was reading that bootlegged textbook at lightning speeds and retaining the information too. In twenty minutes, I finished the entire chapter, feeling quite proud of myself.
Then came a knock on the door. It was Rue, who also had her bag. She was wearing an absurdly small shirt that left little to the imagination and a skirt of equal absurdity.
She fiddled with her blonde hair. "H-hi..."
"What do you want?" I said, a bit harsher than I intended.
"Have you done the math homework yet?"
I tilted my head. "I haven't started it. It's due in a week, isn't it?"
"Do you want to work on it together?" Rue was bouncing from side to side with her usual bubbly-ness.
"I don't know, Rue. To be honest-"
"I'm sorry for annoying you the other day," she blurted out. "I just- well you know why I did it."
I blinked.
She looked up at me. I was still a bit angry with Rue for calling me worthless and causing me to be denied orgasms, but I got to humiliate and spank her in return. I had to forgive her eventually. Plus, she did seem like a nice person once I looked past her insatiable need to be punished.
Still, I tried to get her to leave my room. "I'm not that good at math either, so I don't know why you'd go to me instead of Stacy, or Andrea for that matter."
"Stacy is busy with something and, well, Andrea scares the daylights out of me."
I almost laughed. I knew that Andrea was a caring person. She was so understanding after I told her about Jillian, consoling me until my headache went away. She only left my side to get dinner for us and motivated me to push forward. But her figure was intimidating, and she was a math major. I also had a feeling that Stacy was getting Andrea to punish Rue. For those reasons, it made sense that Rue feared her. She was not familiar with Andrea's softness like I was.
I sighed, unable to think of another excuse for Rue to leave. "Alright, come in."
She perked up and strolled in the room.
"By the way, what were you and Stacy doing in our room yesterday?" I asked.
Rue plopped down on
my
bed. "Oh, well I had cum without permission, so Stacy made me crawl to your room and held me down while Andrea lashed me with a crop. But then you came in and... were in a mood... so you kicked us out which meant my punishment wasn't over. I then had to go to class naked - like you always do, heh - except I had my badge on so everyone knew that I wasn't normally supposed to be naked and that I was just being a slut."
"Oh." My suspicions about Andrea helping Stacy punish Rue were confirmed. "Sorry."
"Don't apologize. You know I get off on punishments, and you replaced the pain of the crop with the humiliation of nudeness."
How poetic.
I recalled the dinner that I went to with Andrea, Rue, and Stacy. I got the chance to punish Rue for putting the 'slut' stamp on me, but she enjoyed it when I humiliated her, so Stacy encouraged me to spank her instead.
"Anyways, I'm stuck on this problem," Rue said. She pulled out her laptop. "Aren't these curves annoying."
It was a basic 'area between curves' question. I grabbed a notebook and wrote the problem down before explaining, as best as I could, how to solve it. "Okay, well the thing here is we're integrating with respect to y instead of x..."
I gave my best explanation.
Rue scratched her head. "So, this area would be 32, right?"
"Yep."
"That's what I put! But the software says it's wrong."
She shoved her laptop screen in my face. Sure enough, she had entered a '32' on the online software. I squinted at it. "Remove the space after the answer," I said.
She removed the space and hit 'check answer.' A box with a green check appeared on the screen. 'Well done,' it read.
