We continue the story of Janine Tyler who has recently learnt the reason for her inability to resist dares and bets. In fact, Professor Dawson had been so kind as to test the side effects of her unintended reprogramming in Ch.3. This chapter, like all the others, does not require you to know all the previous goings-on, but please read them to get a better understanding. I appreciate feedback, so don't hesitate to leave me some.
----------
Janine felt exhausted by the time she made it home. It seemed every part of her body ached as if she had been working out in the gym. It had been a long time since she last went to the gym, she mused. She just never felt motivated to exercise but she was blessed with good health nonetheless.
She moved through the empty house and reached her room. Tossing her bag in the corner, she plopped on the bed and closed her eyes. Professor Dawson had helped her a lot. After their meeting, she now knew what seemed wrong with her. Impulsive, no instinctive cognitive reprogramming, he had said. A few days ago she was mild-mannered Janine Tyler. Now she was - Super Janine! She shook her head at the absurdity of her joke. She had unwittingly obtained the curious ability to process certain information in a split second, as if acting on instinct. Whenever she was challenged to do anything, be it a dare or a bet, her mind was able make itself up. If only she could choose
when
to apply this superpower...
Every thing seemed to make sense now. Why she had felt so compelled to wear skirts, why she now even owned skirts, and why she seemed to be getting into all sorts of trouble. Her mind flitted back to the dressing room in the mall where she gave her first blowjob. He must have figured out that she couldn't resist a bet. The stakes kept getting higher and she kept losing. He was practically the first person to see her naked breasts and though she was ashamed, her mind had no qualms about it. Another side effect of be able to make her mind up. Once it was decided, she couldn't change her mind. At least she got a nice dress out of it. And she still had her virginity.
He could have done anything to her if he had so decided. Janine shivered at the thought. She should probably never go back to the mall, or at least not to that store. He might try to go further, like... Her mind was beginning to wander when her phone rang. Nat.
Natasha was one of her few friends on campus since they had known each other from high school. Her discourse for the day seemed to be about some funny incident that happened in class that involved a professor, two students, a guinea pig and a steam iron and a lovely dress from the mall and Drew and Drew and ... Janine struggled to focus, but her mind felt really out of focus. Natasha had to holler at her a few times before Janine roused from her stupor.
"So you'll come then?"
"Wha..? Yeah sure. Where..?"
"Great, the game is tomorrow night at seven, so Drew will expect us at his place before then."
"What did I just agree to?" Janine wondered aloud.
"Football game. Television. Drew's. Seven. Dress comfy? Sometimes I wonder if you're even paying attention. There's something a little wrong with you later." Natasha switched from frustration to concern so easily.
Janine contemplated telling her all about what she had learnt, but today wasn't the right day. She was just too tired. "Nat, I need to crash. I'm feeling dizzy."
"Do you need me to pop by?" Natasha had her own set of wheels and lived within perhaps five minutes.
"Nah, I think I just need to sleep it off."
"Okay. How about you hang out at my place tomorrow after school and we can go to Drew's straight from there? Your folks aren't home in the middle of the day anyway."
Janine's parents weren't home until late at night every night on most days. Her mother was a lawyer and her father had a car repair workshop. Both of them worked because they loved it and left their children to their own devices. Things had become significantly quieter after her brother Damien moved away for college.
"Sure. Tomorrow."
Natasha clicked off, and Janine heaved a sigh of relief. Now she could get some rest.

Janine's stomach grumbled as she rubbed her eyes. What time was it? The sky was red and the sun was low on the horizon, so it couldn't have slept for long. Or for too long! She jumped out of bed, almost tripping over her covers to get to her cell phone. Six in the morning! She had slept through dinner and all through the night. She bent over and stretched her back on all fours like a cat. That felt good! Now she needed food, and milk.
In the kitchen, she poured herself a bowl of cereal with a generous helping of milk. She emptied the rest of the milk carton into a glass before sitting down on the floor to eat. Oh the cold milk felt so good as it went down her throat. Janine almost felt like mewing, the happy cat that she was.
"Good morning honey, what are you doing sitting on the kitchen floor?" Her mother joined her, scratching her head and she prepared the coffee pot.
