The following is a complete work of fiction. It is the second of what could be many entries in the adventures of Alisha, an 18 year old girl entering her senior year of high school, and Vicky, a symbiote that has the capacity to overtake and control Alisha's body.
Feedback is welcomed and encouraged, and I will give consideration to user suggestions on where future entries could go.
Day Two: Tuesday - The First Day Of School
Alisha woke up to her 6:30 am alarm, but felt groggy. "Ugh," she mumbled to herself. She stumbled out of bed and headed to the bathroom to begin her morning routine. As she was putting on her clothes, she found herself thinking about Vicky. Was all that real? If so, what was her plan for today?
"Thinking of me, are we?"
said Vicky.
"Yes!"
said Alisha, feeling nervous.
"What are you going to do with me?"
"Well, that depends on how much you cooperate with me, Alisha."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, one way you could look at it is, well, a girl's gotta eat. And it's been a long time since I last had something to eat, so to speak."
"I don't understand. What do you eat? What I eat?"
"Not exactly. As you might remember, I told you that I'm attached to your brain. I don't eat the food you eat, I feed off of certain chemical reactions in your brain."
"Oh...." said Alisha. "Like what do you mean?"
"Well, when you humans experience certain things, your brains give off certain chemical reactions. And there's a certain chemical reaction that fits my needs, so either you're going to have to do certain things for the chemicals to occur, or I'm going to have to take over and make you do them. Ever heard of dopamine?"
"I think I've heard of that before..? But what kind of.. things?" asked Alisha, feeling even more nervous.
"Well, this is what I meant when I said last night that we'll have lots of fun together. The level of reactions I need only happen when you humans are engaged in, shall we say, moments of.. sexual arousal and activity."
"WHAT?!?!"
said a now very nervous and frightened Alisha.
"NO! NO NO NO!"
"Oh come on now Lish, you're just afraid of what you haven't tried before."
"No, it's not that. Sex or anything like it isn't ok before marriage! Do you have any idea how much trouble I'll be in if I do anything like that at all?"
"Oh Alisha... I just knew we would have fun. Now, you just get ready for school. I promise for now, I'll go easy on you. But I wasn't joking when I said before that a girl's gotta eat."
Alisha was feeling scared and on edge. She didn't know what to do, and just continued getting ready, and made her way to school.

Normally, today would be an exciting day for a girl like Alisha, with it being the last first day of school she would experience in her life. But now that Alisha has Vicky to contend with, all hints of excitement and joy were replaced with fear and anxiety. She was constantly thinking about Vicky, and what she was going to do with her. She was also constantly getting flashes of what Vicky had done to her the night before, both with her reflection in the mirror and how she was in her head, not to mention what she had said this morning.
The first day back to school is never one that has much actual work for the students. It was a day where the students would make their initial visits to each of their classes for the semester, learn who was in each class, and get their overview for assignments that they could expect to have.
This semester, Alisha had classes for History, English, Math, and P.E. Academically, Alisha had maintained a reputation over the years for being near the top in each of her classes.
It was during her second class of the day, English, when Alisha needed to go to the bathroom. She left the classroom, and went down to the end of the hallway. It was just as she entered the washroom when Vicky first made herself present at school.
"This could work for us,"
said Vicky.
Alisha jumped, startled from unexpectedly hearing from Vicky. Thankfully, no one else was in the washroom to witness what would have looked like her jumping for no reason.
"What!? What do you mean, work for us?"
asked Alisha.
"This washroom. It's at the end of the hall, and there doesn't appear to be much for classrooms nearby. I think we'll be back here later."
Vicky's words put Alisha on edge, and she didn't want to think about what she had meant about the washroom. She finished washing up, and returned to English class.

Lunch break could not come soon enough for Alisha. Her first two classes, History and English, didn't have any of her usual friends in them, and she was desperately wanting to spend some time with friendly faces. She entered the common eating area, which was filled with tables. Across the room, she spotted her friends from her church youth group, Jackie, Rachel, and Toni. Alisha made her way over and sat down with them.
"Did you see the new guy, Evan?" said Toni to the group.
"No, who is he? What does he look like?" asked Rachel.
Toni took out her phone, and after a few seconds, was on his instagram page.
"He just moved here, and he's super cute!" said Toni.
Alisha leaned in to look with the rest of them, and she had to admit that Evan did indeed look cute.
"Ask Toni to introduce you to him,"
said Vicky to Alisha.
"Now. Or I will."
Alisha was terrified by Vicky's instructions, but was more terrified by what Vicky might do if Alisha refused.
"You should introduce us all to him!" said Alisha, faking excitement. "How about we go and find him!"
Toni laughed, but agreed, and the four of them got up to go find Evan. It took them less than a minute before they spotted him at one of the far tables.
"Hey there!" said Toni, as she and the other girls walked up to him.
