Carl shuffled his feet back and forth as he waited outside the classroom door, impatient, nervous and sheepish. Hunched over a few centimetres short of his full height, his anxiety-crossed hands clutched hold of his biceps, unconsciously. Miss Hunt had required him to turn up half an hour later than last time for this Friday's 'instruction'.
While the nervousness and impatience were inspired by his anticipation of what trials this afternoon's session would hold, his sheepishness and anxiety were largely down to the company present: Jodie, his girlfriend, stood leaning meekly in the lee of the corridor wall, slipping an occasional glance toward her phone at any point she did not feel obligated to await his attention. He'd been required to go and fetch her from outside her final class after lessons ended; Miss Hunt's directions on the matter had been quite clear. Jodie had been taken aback by the invitation, confusion evident in her expression, but she was conditioned enough to following Carl's lead by this point in their relationship that she didn't question out loud. They'd walked over in silence, usual for her but a notable departure for him.
He should have told her (or asked her) sooner about tonight's little appointment; it might have helped smooth things over, mainly in his own apprehensive mind. Deciding on taking her somewhere at the last minute was not a new trick of his, of course, but last week's after-school lesson at Miss Hunt's stern hands had caused him to re-think his usual attitudes. The problem was, he had just been too fretful about the conversation it would entail to summon the courage needed to bring it up. Thus, Jodie was in the dark, and the delay had not at all helped with his anxiety.
The classroom door made a sudden click of unlocking; the inside was hidden from the corridor by the drawn blinds over all the windows, so it was a surprise when the door opened to reveal Carl's friend Jack, head hanging and shoulders bowed. Jack did not even try to meet the gaze of the two students in the corridor as he turned instinctively away from them and all but dashed away down the hall.
"Enter!"
The single word emerged loaded with imperiousness from inside the classroom, the speaker unseen but the voice unmistakeable. Carl swallowed, and glanced furtively in his girlfriend's direction; Jodie simply stood, wide-eyed and uncomprehending, waiting for his cue. Feeling a strange weight settle in around him, Carl let his gaze fall to the floor as he crossed the threshold.
Miss Hunt sat in her leather-upholstered desk chair, poised and composed with slender fingers woven together, resting in her lap, and one shapely stockinged leg crossed over the other at the knee. She wore her usual smart, finely-fitted cream silken blouse, buttoned up precisely to the hollow of her throat; the sheer black stockings on her long legs disappeared up beneath a professional, charcoal grey pencil skirt which hugged the contours of her thighs from just above the knee; a pair of simple, severe black high-heeled shoes shod her feet, one flat against the linoleum floor and one dangling from her elevated toes. Her hair was drawn back to neatly surround the top of her head before falling down in a glossy raven-dark ponytail. Her pale features were sculpted into an expression devoid of any emotion, dispassionately neutral while at the same time the stare of her ice-blue eyes was all but sharp enough to cut glass. Carl trudged mutely up toward her desk, not daring to meet that crystal gaze, Jodie a bemused presence tagging along in his wake.
"Miss Carver, a pleasure to see you. Please, sit," the teacher raised a hand to gesture to a single nearby chair that had been set aside at the head of the class, next to her desk.
Carl stayed standing as Jodie looked his way for confirmation, receiving none from the curiously unresponsive boy before crossing silently to take the offered seat. From beneath his downcast brow, Carl considered his girlfriend as she took up her place next to Miss Hunt: although clearly she felt awkward in the strange situation, taking a moment to brush a stray strand of light brown hair away from in front of her hazel eyes, the girl's youthful, lightly freckled face seemed to be turning more to curiosity than uncertainty. She sat in interesting contrast to the teacher beside her, with a demeanour more innocent and delicate and her body shorter but a little more rounded in its femininity. Prompted perhaps by Miss Hunt's proper, striking pose, she straightened up and let her own hands gather in her lap as she awaited further development.
Miss Hunt smiled at the girl with every appearance of warmth and encouragement, ignoring Carl completely where he stood for several long moments. Then, assured that her guest was comfortable, she at last turned to consider him in his embarrassment.
"I am glad to see you have followed your instructions, boy. Now go and lock the door, and return here for your next task. Miss Carver, I hope you will find this afternoon's session to be enlightening..."
Carl could tell he had been dismissed and turned, ears burning too hot to continue listening to the conversation he knew instinctively was not for him to hear; he went to do as he was told. The click of the key in the door for the second time brought back a whirl of memories and sensations as now he found himself locked in once more with Miss Hunt. His Mistress. He could only imagine what Jodie might make of what was to come, while he shuffled back to the head of the classroom. Miss Hunt again took a few unhurried seconds to finish her discussion with his girlfriend before returning her attention to him.
"I have explained to Miss Carver that we shall be continuing your lessons in proper disciplining and respect, boy. She will be aiding me in this; as she will also be Mistress to you going forward, you will address her as such according to her direction. Do you understand?"
The answer to that was easy, although the implications would be challenging:
"Y-yes Mistress. Mistresses..."
Had his vision been raised high enough, he might have seen Jodie's eyes widen further; in all their time of knowing each other, she had never known Carl to show such quiet deference. She didn't know quite what to make of it, yet.
