For the next couple of weeks, Beth and I kept ourselves in proper form at school. She stopped flirting with me, almost ignoring me most of the time, as I did her. The risk for us being caught in a relationship was just too great. Still, she would occasionally manage to shake her posse of infatuated boys and share lunch with me like she used to.
I still worked on my potion... it was finally back to the point when Beth had been exposed. I was fruitlessly trying to come up with ways to test it. I did some animal testing, but I didn't know what I was looking for. Changes in brain chemistry was not something I could find with a high school microscope.
I had briefly thought about destroying the potion at one point, especially considering how hard it was for me to avoid playing with Beth's mind. If a government got wind of it, they could rule the world forever. I knew, morally and ethically, that I should destroy all the samples and forget about this research but it was just too powerful. My greatest fantasies had been surpassed by this potion. I knew there was no way I was going to actually get rid of it. I felt this strange need to mouth words of guilt... but I actually didn't really feel any. I had given up any plans to test the potion in order to try and find an antidote, now I only wanted to test it to find its limits.

One Friday after school, about two weeks before finals, Beth came back into my classroom, with the intention of leaving for the weekend with me. She had already made her fictitious excuses to her mother... not that her mom ever seemed to care where Beth was. Normally, we avoided each other on the school grounds, but Beth had convinced me that, being a Friday, everyone else was probably already gone.
"Are you going to be here long?" She asked.
"No, I'm just finishing cleaning things up. I should be done in about 20 minutes." I thought about telling her to do the cleaning up for me, knowing that commanding her to do even simple chores would sexually excite her... but I tried to be very careful about stirring up anything with her at school after our last incident.
"Okay." She wandered into my backroom, I thought she was going back to look at some of the lab animals. A few minutes later, she came out and appraised my cleaning skeptically. "Twenty minutes, huh? Well, if you're thirsty, I could get you a soda to drink... looks like you have a ways to go, you dirty man."
I actually was a little thirsty. I had just opened a can of soda a minute or so ago... but I couldn't remember where I had placed it. I tossed Beth some change and she skipped lightly out of the room.
She came back a moment later and set my new can of soda on the counter, already opened for me. She stared at me, while blushing heavily. Yeah... even doing the simplest things for me affected her. She really was my slavegirl, excited by even doing the most mundane chores for me. I looked forward to having her do lots of things this weekend.
That's when Jennifer showed up. Jennifer was one of the senior cheerleaders. When I used to watch the footage from the girls locker room's hidden webcam, she was one of my favorites. Perfect C-cup breasts that looked so good that you'd swear they were fake. I was never especially fond of blondes, but Jennifer was a distinct exception. She was a true blonde too. She kept a little neatly trimmed blonde runway above her pussy. She was utterly beautiful. The girl that everyone wanted but no one could have. I thought she was dating some college-boy, but I didn't really know. I had my Beth and although I was a little curious as to what having Jennifer would be like, I was not greedy. I never seriously thought about using my love potion on her. Sorry, did I say "never seriously"? I meant "never". It had never occurred to me.
She was not the most studious of girls and I knew she was here to beg for a higher grade. She was close to failing right now and she would need my class to graduate.
She quickly confirmed my suspicion when she asked if I could talk with her about her grades.
"Beth, can you give us a few minutes?" I asked. Beth gave a start, her old shy demeanor coming back to her...
"but..." she began awkwardly.
"Beth, Jennifer needs to discuss some things with me and we need to do so in private. You can come back in a few minutes." Beth started walking up and reached towards the soda can she had left for me.
"but..." she interjected again.
"No, not another word..." I said, "and leave the soda. I haven't had it yet." Beth paused for a moment and she quietly exited the room her head hanging low.
I finished straightening a pile of papers and found my first can of soda. I picked up the one Beth had just brought me and handed it to Jennifer, "Want a soda?".
Jennifer smiled, showing off her perfect teeth and smile. "Sure," she said, taking the can.
Just like I predicted, Jennifer told me that she was worried about failing my class and now, with just a few weeks left in the term, she was begging for extra credit. I already knew she was going to pass. She was close to passing and I didn't want the headache of hearing from her parents and the administration about holding her back, so even if she tanked the rest of the term, I was still going to give her a passing grade. At least, I thought, maybe I could give her some busy work so it would seem like she earned it.
Jennifer took a drink of soda.
"Okay, Jennifer, I can give you some extra credit... you need to write a three page paper about Mendel's experiment's with peas."
She wasn't paying attention to me. She was staring at her drink with a puzzled expression on her face.
"This tastes weird," she said... then added, "it tastes really good" in a distant tone of voice. She took another large drink from the soda can, then another.
"Jennifer, are you paying attention to me?" I asked, she slowly raised her eyes to mine and when they met, she let out a soft gasp. She stared deeply into my eyes, her face going slack.
I had a sense of deja-vu, but I hadn't made the connection yet.
Jennifer started to drink from her can again, guzzling it down. She was acting all spaced-out
"Jennifer, stop drinking and listen to me." I admonished.
She set the almost empty can down. "Jennifer, you're a smart girl... you just need to put some time in to study. You need to be more organized." Jennifer was nodding along to what I was saying, her attention focused on me.
