My earlier experience with Alicia -- Mistress Alicia, that is -- really pulled a mind-fuck on me. I could not get her or her words out of my head, and I was distracted all day. But it wasn't entirely bad. It turned me on like never before, and I walked around hard almost the entire day. My last class was Ms. Frobisher's English Lit Senior Seminar. If I said my mind wasn't there, that would be an understatement. She called on me once, and I had no idea what she was asking.
"Well, Mr. Watson, welcome back to the land of the living, we're so glad you could join us today," she said
The whole class burst out laughing, at my expense. I blurted out some excuse about forgetting where we were in the Shakespeare play.
"Henry, I want to see you after class today." That shut everybody up.
I remained sitting at my desk until all the other guys were out of the room. Miss Frobisher remained at her desk at the front of the classroom, writing something. The room was completely silent, so quiet I could hear her pen scratching across the paper as she wrote. She didn't even look up at me, and I began to wonder if she forgot about me or if she knew I was still there. Then she broke the silence.
"Close the door, Henry," she said, still without lifting her eyes from what she was writing. I got up, closed the door and then headed back to my desk, but she stopped me.
"No, Henry. Come up to the side of the desk, here," she said, motioning with her hand where she wanted me to go. Again, I did as she ordered. I was standing almost next to her at the side of the desk. She turned her chair to face me. Her precise placement of my feet was strange
"Stand properly. Put your feet a little wider apart..." She put her hand between my legs at knee level and tapped the inside of each one. "Spread out further, yes, that's good. Now, as you know, I teach drama and theater over at Grimsley, and Alicia has talked to you about acting in a play we're putting on over there, right?"
I nodded my head up and down. Was that ever a mistake. All I can remember seeing was a flash of the top of her dark blue high-heeled shoe coming up and at me, and the next instant I was on the floor doubled over in pain, blotches of light and dark dancing in my eyes, and involuntarily shielding my crotch. The pain surged up from my groin and into my sides, almost like a pair of hands reaching inside me and trying to rip my stomach out.
She had just given me a swift kick in the balls. I couldn't believe it. Talk about unexpected.
She looked down at me without bothering to get up from her chair. "You will not wag your head at me, young man. What do you think this is, a barn? And what are you, a horse or a goat? When I ask you a question you will answer with words, in the form of 'yes, Miss Frobisher' or 'no, Miss, Frobisher.' If you're a good boy, I'll let you use the short form 'Miss F_. Now get up and stand on your own two feet again."
I was just beginning to get air back in my lungs. I struggled to my hands and knees and then stood up slowly. All the blood rushed out of my head -- probably on its way to save my balls. I felt dizzy. But there I was, standing in front of her, severely chastened.
"You are going to be in the play at Grimsley this fall. It should be a good learning experience for you, and many of the girls you know will be in it, including Alicia, Michelle and Genevieve."
She said the last

"Perhaps you'll meet some other nice young ladies there. It's a very good way to get to know people, being in a theater production with them. It fosters a lot of..." She cocked her head at me and lowered one eyebrow in a rather sultry way. Then she whispered the end of her sentence, lingering on the two syllables: "close-ness."
What did she mean by closeness, I wondered. No matter, the closer I got to Alicia or any other Grimsley girl, the better. Then a terrible thought occurred to me. "But I don't have a car, Miss Frobisher."
"Silly boy. You'll ride with me to Grimsley for rehearsals in the afternoon. I have to drive back this way on my way home, so you'll be back in time for dinner at East Point. I've already cleared it with the headmaster.
The thought of spending time alone with her, in the front passenger seat of her car, set my mind racing again. All I could see were images of her short skirt riding up her thighs as she worked the brake and the gas pedal. It was too great a temptation, and once again my little friend was standing at attention. Oh shit. I hoped she wouldn't notice.
"But there are some things you have to know, and some conditions as well. you have to make a solemn promise to me," she said.
Whoops. There was a catch. Wasn't there always a catch? Alicia had a catch too. I began to think that inventing catches for boys must be a talent built into every girl's genes.
"What's that?"
"You must obey every command I give you, as soon as I say it, never talk back to me and never disobey."
Damn, that was the same thing Alicia asked for. Was there some standard operating procedure followed by all females connected to Grimsley?
"I understand you and Alicia are an 'item,'" she continued. All of Grimsley knows that, in fact, and she's very sweet on you too. But you must be on your best behaviour at Grimsley because you'll be the first male ever to appear in a Grimsley theatrical production. So if you do can make that promise to me, then you'll have a chance to see your girlfriend almost every day because she's in the play. Can you make that promise?"
"I think I can."
"You
