IMPRINTING
This one is a take on the old high school nerd taking over the school with a twist. There is a nerd, the school is taken over, but not exactly like you would expect. I hope you enjoy. ALL people in this story are 18 years or older, I swear on a stack of bibles.

5th PERIOD, INDEPENDENT STUDY, SCIENCE LAB
George sighed yet again as Michelle stared blankly at the wall of tubes and bottles. "Third shelf up, four over from the left, the green one." He said with some effort not to lose it and toss a beaker at her.
The blonde girl stared with her finger at her lips and an expression that could only be described as dull and vapid. She moved her lips and George nearly cried as he realized she was counting out loud to figure out what shelf it was. After another minute she pointed at a purple beaker with a hopeful expression and George shook his head and pointed down. She pointed at the one below and left of it; George pointed right and then nodded as she got the right one. With a smile of triumph she took it down and flounced over to George and handed it to him.
George thanked her and said "After that why don't you take a break. Go over there and sit down and check your cell phone. I'll call you when I need you."
"Which will be never if I can help it." He thought to himself in a nasty voice.
He would have never picked Michelle Dean, even if they had put a gun to his head. He would bet he was a minority of one though given that she was THE most popular girl in the senior class and the entire school. Captain of the cheerleading squad, captain of the gymnastics team, rich, spoiled, drove a brand new corvette (cherry red of course), and dated only the hottest guys, she was THE girl in the school.
But she was also dumb as a fucking rock. And in George's opinion that was being mean to some rocks he had seen. Her step-dad and mom (a gold digging trophy wife of course who was about 20 years younger than her dad) had hired a long string of tutors to get her through every grade she had even been in. George had heard rumors that they had even paid off the school several times to pass her and he believed it. She had gotten into Arizona State college, THE party school, and he had no doubt some money had changed hands on that one given she had actually used the answer sheet from the SAT to write her initials.
No lie; he had seen it when she had turned it in.
George though was the school nerd. Smartest by far, he had a full ride to MIT already and in theory was already done. He had actually completed early by doing a bunch of summer school so he could do some college courses at the local college prior to his fall start so he could focus on his passion of genetics.
However, money did talk, along with some other benefits. Even with a full ride, he would need additional money. He had been surprised when Michelle's dad had shown up at one of his college classes and took him aside.
"My step-daughter needs a lab partner. And by that I mean someone who can do it all for her. I'm sure you know how challenged she is in the brains department, but she has one semester left and no one wants to do this. I will pay you $1000 down, $500 a month for 5 months, and another $1000 at the end with a $5000 bonus if she gets an A."
George had been very tempted to say no, but Mr. Dean had something else for him.
"I've done some donating to the school here. I know about your genetics passion, and I know you know about the new lab here. How would you like to have access? You can name your project; you can use the lab here, just keep Michelle as your partner."
That had sealed the deal. And he had been mostly in heaven. The lab was top rate, and he had been able to get access to all sorts of stuff. Their project had been to try and isolate the gene from certain animals that sorted them into various cliques or classes: the famous Alpha, Beta, Omega you saw in wolf packs. While he hadn't been successful (it would take a lot more research before he would be successful), he had made a couple of very impressive discoveries and the admissions board at MIT had been very impressed. He was sure that with some more work and access to MIT's genetics lab his rough DNA mapping could be done fully.
It had even helped him socially at school. While he had had to deal with some bullying, mostly the school was large enough you could keep to yourself. But when the word spread who he was partnered with he actually had several popular kids talk to him and thank him for doing it.
"I have the major hots for her, but Christ almighty she is so shallow and stupid I would lose my mind helping her." The school star linebacker Todd had told him in January. He was one of her occasional dates as she kept stringing along several of the popular boys. All of them understood she was just being the popular girl and knew once she was gone to college they wouldn't matter one bit to her, but they were enjoying the ride so to speak.
"You are doing my BFF a solid, thank you." Jessica, the other major hot cheerleader had told him. She had even fixed him up on a couple of dates which had been fun. He had been careful not to try anything crazy and actually the girls she had fixed him up with had come back for a couple more for fun.
George wished he could have gotten a date with Michelle. In a social setting she was it and he couldn't argue that. Even the thought of holding her hand made him sweat. Aside from her natural golden blonde hair, her cheerleading figure was the proverbial hourglass shape, taunt and tone, and she even had a respectable pair of tits at 34BB which stood out very nicely with her figure. But of course she would never even think of dating him, helping her or not. She had made that clear, even though she did say hi to him in the hallway which was a major item by itself when he had to be in the high school.
But improvements to his social life, access to a cutting rate lab, and the bonus points for MIT, were nearly not enough once he had started dealing with her. George had found out that she was as dumb as the proverbial rock in anything worthwhile. But she had wicked smarts when it came to social stuff. She was the girl to talk to about fashions, clothes, makeup, dancing, flirting, and generally being the HOT girl. But even that only went so far when you simply couldn't even do simple math or read articles deeper than fashion tips in Covergirl.
She had nearly screwed up the study at least eight times by George's count, and that was just what he knew about. He suspected at least two other times when some of the stuff they were working on reacted bizarrely and George suspected she had dumped or dropped the original compounds and replaced it with something that looked the same. George finally had her just bringing him stuff while he watched to make sure she didn't grab the wrong one. He had to let her do something because even thought she was dumb she insisted that as his lab partner she had to help.
George actually appreciated that from her as it showed that stupid or not she wasn't a typical mean girl like some of the others. But still, he was ready for this to end.
He heated the compound and nodded. "Okay Michelle, I think we are almost done here. This has to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. That means don't touch this until I get back. I need to make a phone call to my student advisor at MIT. Your job is to watch this and make sure no one messes with it."
Michelle grinned vapidly and nodded. "Got it George! I'm so glad I can help you with this. Nobody wanted to be my partner because they thought I'm too dumb, but we showed them didn't we?"
"Uh, yes we did. Now sit tight. I'll be back."
George left and Michelle went back to her phone. After texting a bit she got bored and went over to the large beaker that was sitting and slowly cooling. It bubbled occasionally and the bubbles got bigger and gooey-er as the compound cooled. She really had no idea what they were doing at all, she was just glad her partner did and that this would let her graduate. Then she could go to Arizona State and party with the big kids for four years before finding a rich man and becoming a trophy wife. She smiled at that thought, just being able to shop and party and look pretty for a nice hunk who would take care of her.
One of the large bubbles popped and she caught a slight whiff of some odd smell. She leaned over the beaker and sniffed. Just as she did a large bubble formed and popped. Some of the goo flew up and hit her in the mouth, nose, and eyes.
