Oh goddess, how could one little fantasy have spawned all this? That was all she could think as Miss K flew off into the distance, completely satisfied while Chloe practically trembled with desire.
School helped a little bit. Through a great feat of will, she was able to throw herself into her school work, reading ahead on chapters and completing assignments early. But no matter how hard she tried to ignore it, that aching, throbbing NEED was always there, gnawing at the edges of her every thought.
When Intermediate Sciences came around she swapped out her books at her banged up locker and headed in to her desk. As she waited on the rest of the students to finish shuffling in and take their seats, Chloe suddenly realized that she had no idea how she was going to explain the situation to poor eager Zoe. When she entered the classroom their eyes immediately met. Chloe grinned at her and then nearly dropped her pack as a baphomet shoved its way past her, bleating an obscenity as the unlikely creature went. Zoe shrugged it off and kept moving.
"Hey," she chirped as she passed by Chloe's desk.
She looked like she wanted to stop and talk but Ms. Burnside was abnormally punctual this day. She came in a mere five minutes late. The ghastly stench of alcohol preceded her. All the remaining students hurried to their desks. The lesson, such as it was, began shortly after. ...something about anti-gravity and it's use on space faring vessels. Vessels that Chloe would likely never lay eyes upon and certainly never set foot in. Not on that rock they called a planet. She let out a long, depressed sigh.
Just then, she noticed something poking her in the thigh. It was the tip of a thin, red tail. Not far from the end, it was coiled around a scrap of paper. She looked back up at Ms. Burnside and waited until she turned back toward the chalkboard to finish sketching out some diagram. Then she turned in her seat and glanced back. Of course it was Zoe, seated one row back, diagonally from her. She flashed a quick smile and took the note, hiding it in her text book. Other students were busy passing their own notes, and so no one seemed to notice. She carefully opened the note, which had been folded many times.
Dear Chloe,
I just wanted to thank you for yesterday. I hope I'm not being weird saying this, but meeting you has definitely been more than just the highlight of my day. I don't have a lot of friends. I guess it's because I'm so quiet. Always worried that I'll say too much or just that one thing I shouldn't or who knows what. It's so much easier to write it down. At least this way I can reread it and scribble out anything I shouldn't say. Anyway, just wanted you to know that. How did things go with Miss K? Good, I hope! Otherwise I might cry before the days out. Ha ha!
Zoe
Chloe folded the letter back up and slipped it down into her purse. Then she pulled out her own sheet of paper and began to write.
Zoe,
I know. I feel the same way! Don't worry. You never have to stress about what you say to me. Promise. I'll have to tell you about Miss K later. But you might cry.
Chloe
Another glance up and then she passed it back with her own tail. And a few minutes later a new note came back up to her.
Chloe,
That's alright. I can last as long as you need me to. I'm just so jealous that me and Blake (my boyfriend) can't have what you and Miss K do. I tried to talk to him last night about trying some new things, but he just said it was stupid.
Zoe
Chloe frowned. What was she doing with such a jerk? Then again, living in that part of the settlement, having a brute around probably had it's benifits. Still, she hated that he treated her that way. So she pulled out another scrap of paper and started writing.
Zoe
Cheer up. That's an order. Why don't you come sit with me at lunch and meet Ms. K? Oh, and after school your going to tell me all about these new things you wish you could do.
Chloe
It wasn't how she'd planned on introducing them but it felt right. A moment or two after passing the note back, she heard somebody abruptly drop their pencil. She glanced back to see Zoe hurriedly picking it up. She was grinning and her cheeks looked a little redder than normal.
The bell rang before any more notes could be passed. Soon the halls were choked with students going this way and that. Chloe waded into the chaos and headed for Miss K's locker to tell her. Somewhere along the way, a stray hand groped her ass. She groaned and twisted away, heading into one of the empty classrooms.
"So you got a job now and you think that means you don't have to listen to your teachers?"
It was Mr. Brunswick and he'd followed her in. The door shut behind him and she heard it lock.
"Mr. Brunswick, what do you mean?" Chloe asked, confused.
"You thought you were just going to get away with that stunt, yesterday? Just walking out when I'm speaking to you," he said, taking a thoroughly threatening step toward her.
"I'm so sorry. That wasn't my intention at all, Mr. Brunswick," Chloe said, stepping back.
She backed right into a desk and nearly tripped. When she recovered he'd taken several more steps toward her. She stepped around, putting the desk between the two of them.
"Really, Ms. Chloe? Because it seemed a lot like insubordination to me. Now, noncompliance with school rules normally carries a hefty penalty. However, if you just learned to show a little appreciation to your elders, we might be able to work something out," he said, throwing the desk out of the way and lunging at her.
He grabbed her by the arm and forced her up against another desk. She could feel his hot, acrid breath on her skin. The scent immediately made her nauseous. There was no way to get him off her! His erection ground hard against her thigh as she tried to turn away from him.
"Please! Mr. Kane says I have to be there on time. I just wanted to make a good impression, " Chloe said, struggling as hard as she could as a hand moved up to cup her breast.
"Grayson Kane? You work for Grayson Kane?" he said, stunned.
Chloe quickly jerked herself free and hurriedly backed away, almost stumbling into yet another desk.
"Y- yes, and he said to let him know if anyone gave me a hard time about showing up on time," she said, trying desperately to make it sound as believable as possible.
