By noon the next day Rachael had finished reading the rules and had moved on to a list and description of various reward and punishment methods. The latter was on a laptop that had been provided in her living space. It was a long and thorough document. It had over 300 ideas each for rewards and punishments. Every method was described in detail and many had pictures or even videos accompanying them. In four hours Rachael had only gotten through a few dozen of the punishments. She kept getting distracted; just reading about the means of discipline made her very horny and she'd had to stop twice to finger herself off to an orgasm just to try and be able to focus. She'd just gotten back into reading after lunch when there was a knock at her door dissimilar to the style of Mrs. Heyward the day before.
Rachael opened the door wearing just her white bathrobe. The robe was nothing special or intentionally sexy but Rachael looked very good in it, nonetheless, with damp hair. Outside her door was Carl. When Rachael saw the slightly portly groundskeeper she more than half expected him to display signs of awkwardness considering her current appearance. When Carl seemed to show no signs of being off-put Rachael realized that he must have seen some pretty crazy things in his time at Dramatus.
"Miss." he began after Rachael welcomed him. "Mrs. Heyward wanted me ta tell ye that she'd like to meet with ye at 5:00 sharp this eave'in. She wanted me to inform ye that yer not'n to eat no dinner before commin'. She'lla be waitin' for ye in her office." Carl then described where Mrs. Heyward's office was. He gave a bow and left.
Rachael figured Mrs. Heyward wanted to have dinner with her and discuss how she was to proceed. Rachael set to the computer documents with a renewed determination to get through it all before her dinner with the assistant principal. Through sheer will and determination Rachael managed to keep her hands off herself and by the time 4:00 rolled around she had gotten through all of the punishments and had just gotten into the rewards. She relegated herself to having to finish it after dinner and got herself cleaned up a bit. Quite worked up from all the reading, she again had to restrain from letting her hand stray south when she stood in front of a long mirror wearing only a pair of light green panties. She admired her slender and toned body for a few minutes before forcing herself to put on a slim black dress and black heals. She donned her makeup and headed out to meet with Mrs. Heyward.
Mrs. Heyward's office was in the converted mansion with all the classrooms. At this time of the evening there were only a few students in the halls, probably for play practice or something of the like Rachael figured. They all seemed friendly, smiling and saying hello as they passed. As Rachael reached her destination she knocked lightly on the door.
"You may enter" she heard Mrs. Heyward's distinctive voice call out from the other side of the door. Upon entering the office Rachael saw that it wasn't anything too unexpected or unusual for a school administrator's office with the exception of the expensive looking furniture, decor, and lighting; left over from the building's years as a decadent mansion. Mrs. Heyward stood and smiled at Rachael, greeting her as she walked in. Rachael returned the greeting and sat in a chair across from Mrs. Heyward.
"Have you made your decision Rachael?" she asked with the hint of a knowing smile featured on her expression.
"I have" Rachael replied, now with a few butterflies in her stomach. The moment was here when she would officially agree to place herself into a situation she had never even dreamed could actually exist.
"And?" probed the silver haired woman.
"I am very excited to spend the next several months, and maybe even more, her at Dramatus University for Young Adults." Rachael tried to keep her tone in control but she was smiling uncontrollably and her voice was clearly showing her excitement.
"I'm so glad to hear that Rachael. I can't tell you how excited I am to have such a promising, and beautiful, young teacher here at Dramatus."
The two expressed gratitude towards each other and made small talk about what was to come for a few minutes.
"Well," Mrs. Heyward said. "Have you had a chance to read the rules or the rewards and punishments?"
"I read all the rules and am more than half way through the rewards and punishments but there's just so many I wasn't able to get through them all."
Mrs. Heyward smiled sympathetically. "I know dear, there's a lot to read. Don't worry about it, you'll have plenty of time to get through it all. I was mostly just concerned that you read the rules. As you have now read them, you may beware that we have a slight issue which we must address." Mrs. Heyward's smile faded and so did Rachael's along with her.
"What issue is that?" Rachael asked, concerned because she didn't know to what Mrs. Heyward was referring.
"This dear" she said as she reached into a drawer in her large desk and pulled out a bottle of rum that was still mostly full. "Carl found this in your room when he cooked your dinner last night. As you are now aware, there is no alcohol allowed on campus without prior approval from a member of the school administration. This rule applies to both students and professors."
Mrs. Heyward let this information sink in as Rachael quickly played out scenarios in her head trying to anticipate where this was going. She had completely forgotten about the bottle of rum and hadn't even thought about it when she read that rule.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Mrs. Heyward. I hadn't read through the rules when I'd brought that into my cottage. I can dispose of it immediately."
The old teacher took on a tone of dissatisfaction that had put ice water into the veins of countless pupils and peers in the past. Rachael was no exception. "At my school ignorance of the rules has never, and will never be an excuse for disobedience." She looked at Rachael with cold blue eyes and the young woman felt a chill run down her spine and extend to her fingers. Then Mrs. Heyward spoke the words Rachael was hoping not to hear.
