Matt sat in the cafeteria for lunch.
He was throwing out ideas into passersby's minds.
Nothing world shattering but enough to give him a laugh. He saw Nicole sitting with Amy. The pair had no memory of his experiments with his powers on their minds.
From where he sat he could see Grace and Jo. Grace had blown him off many times in his attempts to date her, her father had a rule no non-Italians for his princess.
Maybe he should push her a little. He needed to refine his abilities a little first.
That's when he saw them. Some of the teachers were monitoring the cafeteria. His mind raced with ideas.
Anne Sappochetti was the head of the art department. Matt had her for figure drawing. He wondered if he could exploit that.
Anne was 50 years old, average body from what he could tell, she was always in a sweater and apron. She had chin length dark hair with bangs that had wisps of grey hairs. She was monitoring the lunch while reading from her book as she walked. As she walked past Matt he quickly threw ideas into her mind. On her last pass, she stopped in front of him to read for a minute.
"So we are still on for tonight" he asked absently not knowing or caring what she did at night.
Anne looked around confused for a second. "Have you found models for tonight's session?" Matt asked. Anne smiled for a second as his ideas filtered into her mind. She had been tutoring Matt in figure drawing at his house at night during the week as far as she now thought. "No not yet" she frowned.
As Anne's brain rearranged with Matt's ideas, he was busy throwing more ideas into two other teachers.
Susan Montgomery is a teacher in the Spanish department. Tall and beautiful with dirty blonde hair. She was once compared to a human Barbie doll but had gained some weight after her two children. Still beautiful but she thought the weight gain tarnished her in some way.
Matt threw ideas into until she came close enough.
"Hey Anne did you ask Susan? She is your best friend after all." Matt said with a sly smile.
Both teachers had almost never had any interaction before. Now both women thought of each other as their best friend. "Ask me what babe?" Susan asked Anne with a wide smile. "We are planning our figure drawing tonight, we need models. You doing anything?" Anne asked. A few more pushing ideas and Susan was happy to help.
The two teachers would be enough then he saw her. Kelly Shields walked into view. Only 3 years older than Matt. Kelly Shields had graduated two years ago and hired last year as a Math teacher. Her husband was one of the football coaches.
There were rumors all his players had her for math and she passed them all no matter what. Kelly was short and fit with dark hair and piercing blue eyes. The former gymnast and cheerleader was the crush of many students.
In seconds Matt pushed the ideas into her empty bimbo head. Anne and Susan were her best friend. She didn't have plans tonight. She would be happy to help Anne in her tutoring. She would even bring the wine.
Instead of returning to monitor the lunch they sat down and talked together as all best friends do. Anne gave her friends Matt's address that he pushed into her head and agreed on a time.
Matt smiled to himself with pride, nobody suspected anything. He then noticed his nose was bleeding, maybe pushed a little too much. He wiped his nose, collected his belonging and went to his next class.
Promptly at 7pm Anne arrived. She was a little early but excited nonetheless.
Originally she would have gone home from work cooked dinner, watched TV, and went to bed. No friends and no family, a sad lonely life.
Now after Matt's pushed ideas, she went home, had dinner, and then got dressed in a t-shirt and some lose linen pants. She frowned at herself, didn't she own clothes without paint stains? Came to Matt's for some figure drawing. Matt was cute, an adult, and he lived by himself. Maybe he was lonely like her. She wondered if she and he ... then blushed at the idea.
Susan was late. She was angry at her husband.
Half an hour ago, she was giving her daughter a bath, noticed the time. She passed her daughter to her husband and said "sorry hun, I'm late" her husband look confused "late for what" he asked. "Oh I promised Anne I would help with her figure drawing class tonight" Susan said like it was a regular occurrence. Matt pushed the idea it was a regular occurrence and she was happy to help her friend.
Her husband was confused "Anne... who?" He asked. Susan sighed annoyed "Sappochetti? My best friend ... well Kelly will be there too." she replied getting annoyed by the questioning.
"Sappochetti? That spinster from the third floor of the Media building? And Kelly who?" He asked as he put their daughter into a fresh jumper. "Shields" Susan said her hands on her hips, he was making her later by the second.
