I learned a Great deal in High School
My Junior year was one that was a tremendous growth year, it started in World History class. I was in a lecture type of class that had approx. 150 students per class. And so it was easy to sit close to the back and not think about anything, except the body of the teachers assistant. I will call her Sheila for lack of a better choice, the need for anonymity will become obvious soon.
I should say, at this point, that due to some illnesses early in life my schooling started late and therefore I had just turned 18 at the beginning of my junior year.
From the time I first entered the classroom, my eyes would search the room for her. Platinum blonde hair, approximately 5’3” with a tiny frame that probably did not weigh over 118 pounds soaking wet with rocks in her pockets. As the days progressed, I found that she was the mother of one of my classmates, although he and I were never what you would consider friends, I was acquainted with him, and we did speak when we saw each other in the hallways.
My tendancy toward wild living and juvenile delinquency were well known throughout the school, and the use of my fathers stash of adult magazines helped with my sexual education so it was easy for me to enter into a fantasy life that included Sheila.
My grades were failing because I did not attend school most of the time, and World History was a solid F after just a few months into the year. So it was not surprising when Sheila approached me and asked me to stop by after school. I thought she would be giving me a pep talk about doing better and studying harder. Since many of my fantasies had begun with just such an occurrence, when I arrived at the room on the appointed day, my mind was definitely not on school work. She was seated at her desk to the left of the doorway into the lecture hall when I arrived. I entered and she motioned for me to sit down. I should mention that she was a natural platinum blonde. And had the pale almost translucent skin that goes along with that. Wearing a proper while blouse with the top buttons open she looked demurely at me and then turning to face me, gave me a look at her crossed legs. She mentioned that she had been noticing my grades and the fact that I seldom handed in any homework. I shrugged, not really paying too much attention to what she was saying, paying considerably more attention to the legs in front of me. It was with surprise that I drug my attention back to what she was saying…”You need to make up some tests in order to get even a D in this class and I would be willing to help you do that, and to pass the tests if you were interested.” I was not sure what she meant and said so, she smiled and handed me one of the pre-printed tests I had taken earlier. “Take the test for me, and we will see how you do.”
With that I sat at the edge of her desk and proceeded to answer the questions to the best of my ability, they were multiple choice and so I guessed at most of them. At one point she got up from her chair and moved to look over my right shoulder at my paper, Bending over closer in order to see, her blouse opened affording me a view of her small yet attractive cleavage. I looked unashamedly down her blouse as she seemed to not pay any attention to where my eyes were focused. Clucking her tongue at me she said, “You seem to be in need of more help than I thought at first…..have you not been paying attention in class at all?” “No, “ I responded, “his lectures would put a speed freak to sleep, and I have not been here that much either.” Returning to her chair she opened a file drawer and removed an answer key from it, handing it to me, she said. “Miss a few so it doesn’t look obvious.” Just as I was completing the test and had handed the answer key back to her, Mr. James, the head of the World History Dept. walked in. Sheila had just slipped the sheet back in the drawer as he entered. “Hello Stan,” he said, “what brings you after class of all things?” Sheila spoke up first. “He needed to make up a couple of the tests he has missed, and since I needed to be here anyway, I suggested he do it today.” “I didn’t think you were going to be using the office today.” “I wasn’t planning to,” he replied with a bit of annoyance in his tone that I didn’t understand, “I just forgot some papers and had to come back for them.” “How many more tests does Stan have to do?” Sheila appeared to consult a list and said “Three I believe, should be done by 5:00 or so.” “Very well then, but in the future, I prefer tests to be made up during class time, I thought I had made that clear to you before.” Mr. James was pointed in his statement and it was evident that he was not pleased. “Yes sir, I understand.” Sheila replied to his departing back as he left the building.” “That was too close for comfort,” She said to me after the door had closed behind him, “but I am glad you were here.” She leaned closer in a conspiratory manner and said, “He tends to get a bit fresh if I am here alone.” “ Stan,” she said, “do you know where I live?” “Sure, why?” I replied, thinking maybe a fantasy was about to come true. “I will take a couple more tests and answer keys to my apartment, and you give me about 30 minutes and then come and see me, park up the street and walk so no one sees your car.” “ I can’t risk being caught allowing you to see the answers.” I agreed and within the hour I was seated at her kitchen table.
