Chapter 6: First Term: Sin and Virtue
July's POV:
When my alarm blurted out the next morning and I was reaching to shut it off, I couldn't reach it. For some reason, it was really hard to shrug off my blanket, so I took a look to my right and saw Tammy, halfway covered in my blanket on my bed. I was shocked for a split second before I remembered how we had been sitting here and talking about the whole 'her being a boy' thing and me explaining a lot about my transition. Guess we both fell asleep during it.
As the annoying noise didn't stop, Tammy stirred and pulled the blanket higher over her head, "Turn it off already, July. It's starting to get annoying."
I chuckled and gave her a slight shove, "Then roll off my shoulder, will you? I can't reach it."
"Roll off your-" she started asking and turned just to be met by my smiling face.
With a surprised shriek, she pushed back to get distance from me but ended up falling from the edge of the bed onto her butt clumsily. I switched the alarm off and sat up on my bed to look at her.
"Everything good? Did you hurt yourself?" I asked.
"I'm fine. But what the hell are you doing in my bed?" she asked while standing up and rubbing her butt.
"Technically you were in my bed, Tammy. Guess we just fell asleep here after talking yesterday." I explained before gesturing to her crotch with a smirk, "Someone certainly doesn't seem to mind, though."
Following my gaze, she spotted the morning wood she had and quickly pulled one of my pillows off to cover it, "Don't stare at me, damn it!"
I raised my hands in defeat and slowly got up from bed. To stretch and grab my stuff for the shower.
"On the bright side, I might not have got you out of bed that quickly ever before. Maybe I should try that more often." I joked and gave a wink.
"Ha. You wish. Who says I would let you sleep in my bed ever again?" she retorted and made her way to her bed to lie down again.
"Your little friend does." I gave back quickly and made my way out of the room just to hear what I guess was a pillow slam against the door.
I finished my shower quicker than yesterday, this time to head to the cafeteria. My main goal was to get some breakfast for me and Tammy. I would go to Vivian's room this time though to bring her bloody coffee to her. As much as I disliked the idea of being ordered around by her, I could not have her mess with my academics as she did yesterday. This needed to stop. This brings me to stand at the door of her dorm room at 6:55 in the morning. I was just about to knock when I remembered how she told me she was only up at 7:00 normally.
Screw this. I have no time to waste on her.
I knocked and at first, nothing happened. When I already made my mind up to just leave again, the door opened and Vivian leaned against the frame, clearly still sleep drunken and wearing nothing but a loose crop top and panties. Those were way too small to hide what was there.
"You are too early, July." she said with a calm voice but also her typical smile on her lips, "Been that eager to see me?"
I gave her an eye roll at that, "You wish. I just got you your coffee. So no need for you to mess with my school life any further."
For emphasis, I held the cup out to her, which she took and shook her head a bit.
"But I still told you to be here at seven o'clock sharp." she took a sip and smirked again. "The coffee is good, though, so I will let you from the hook for now. Just try to be better tomorrow."
I was already turned around but then looked back, "What do you mean tomorrow? This was a one-time thing."
She held up one finger to signal me to wait before she placed the cup down somewhere near the door and approached me. The way she smiled and walked up straight until she was all up in my face made my heartbeat accelerate. I felt my back touch the wall suddenly and realized I have been backing up from her.
She leaned one hand against the wall beside my head and came closer to my face again, "This is not a one-time thing, July. I see you enjoy this as much as I do, and as long as that is the truth you will play along."
"I ... I don't. The only reason I do this is ... is, so you won't keep messing with me." I tried to bring the words out straight but failed miserably.
"Don't lie to yourself, July. The truth suits you better," she whispered and leaned in closer. I almost expected her to kiss me, but she leaned towards my ear and whispered, "When you do this tomorrow, I want you to be in your uniform already. And you will sit beside me in at least two classes today, July. Understood?"
This was no question from her. It was what she was expecting of me. I was feeling like my skin was burning up being so close to her. I nearly froze and only managed a small nod at her words.
"Good girl," she whispered and breathed a kiss onto my cheek.
…
"What took you so long today?" Tammy asked when I entered the room with our breakfast.
"You are getting demanding now?" I answered, maybe a bit more snappy than I wanted.
"Sorry." she raised her hands in defeat.
"I just ran into Veronica and for some reason, she wanted to talk." I lied to her, hoping she would not dig in further.
To my luck, mentioning Veronica's name was enough to make her lose interest. I started getting dressed from my casual clothes to my school uniform, deciding on the dark jacket today.
I was already in the process of brushing my hair when Tammy spoke up again, "Say, July."
"Yes?"
"You ... You won't tell anybody about ... you know."
I turned to look at her in disbelief, "Tammy. Of course, I won't. It's not my right to do so, it's yours only. You will do it when you're ready."
"Thanks. Say ... what do you think of the others in our class?" she asked out of the blue.
"The others? They are mostly pretty cool, I think. I mean, Veronica tends to be a bit annoying with her constant bitching and I could go with fewer advances from Ajax, but the majority is nice to hang out with." I answered, still unsure where this was going.
"What do you think of Dia and Lucy?" she asked again while brushing her hair.
I laid my brush aside and looked at her, "Okay. Why are you asking me all of this?"
She blushed a bit and avoided my look, "Just curious, that's all."
Okay, she was hiding something there. I don't want to force it out of her, so I will just play along.
"They are both nice, I guess. I mean, I didn't get to talk to Dia all that much until now, but I got to talk to Lucy yesterday morning when she went for an early shower too. Lucy seems nice and honest. Maybe a bit too gloomy sometimes. She seemed quite happy to be Dia's roommate, though. The only thing that she was complaining about was being kept awake so much by her."
"What?!" Tammy deadpanned and stared at me.
"Yeah. I reacted pretty much the same way. They do a lot of talking in the evenings to a point where they are tired enough to fall asleep."
"Oh yeah. Of course" Tammy stuttered out a bit and returned to brush her hair.
Was that jealousy there?
I didn't give it too much thought and just got ready for classes today. With Vivian's demand, it was bound to get interesting.
…
The first class of the day was with Mr. Retzner again. I made sure to stay clear of Vivian for that one. I was already in trouble enough with him as it was. No need to gauge any further punishments. I managed to listen to most of it and learn something. When English with Drew came around, the decision was taken out of my hand by Ally demanding that Tammy sat with her. Vivian had kept the space beside her free for me and gave me a suggestive yet subtle wink.
Here goes nothing.
As I sat down beside her, she smiled friendly and just began preparing her stuff. Reading her was hard. She just seemed to switch from one mood to the next in a matter of seconds. I still did not shake off the feeling she had something planned out, though.
When class started, all was normal at first until she managed to lean a little closer while looking all casual, "I'm glad you decided to be good and follow through on your words."
I felt the goosebumps rising on my skin again, "It's not really like I had a choice."
"True," she said simply when I felt something touch my skin.
Stealing a glance down, I spotted her hand brushing back the hem of my skirt a bit, so it rose on my leg, "What do you think you're doing?"
I pulled it back down, and she chuckled low, "I'm just planning a little fun. You can be nice and let me go through with it, or you can try to avoid it and make it worse. It's entirely on you."
Very unsure now, I forced my look straight forward again and felt the same brush again. I kept glancing down a few times to see her hiking my skirt up high enough, so it barely covered my panties anymore. When she took her red marker and slipped it under the desk subtly, I swallowed hard. I watched in slight shock as she opened it and began drawing on my skin.
Never in my life would I have thought this would turn me on, but I would be lying if I said it didn't. She took her time to very slowly write a 'V' as close to my panties as she could. Watching her fingers move, I blushed a bit and bit my lip gently. She added a small halo above the 'V' along with a pair of horns and ended with a tail trailing off from the bottom tip, giving it a slightly devilish look.
As she cleared her throat, my eyes wandered back up, and I saw her smirk widen as she looked towards the blackboard again. I quickly moved my look forward again and followed the class. The way she so openly toyed with me in class was making me hot and bothered right now. I also could not deny the fact that I was getting a bit wet from this. And this was just the first class I would be sitting with her today. If this was carried on, I was going to be a nervous mess.
I am so fucked up.
When Drew dismissed the class, Vivian leaned in closer and whispered again, "You didn't even pull it back down, you naughty girl."
I likely turned crimson at that comment and quickly shoved my skirt back down. I sighed and looked up to see Tammy looking down at me.
"Everything alright? Did Vivian try and get you into trouble again?" she asked, clearly concerned.
"No. Everything is fine, Tammy." I waved her off and packed up my stuff.
"You don't seem all that fine. Maybe you should talk to Drew about it. She needs to be told that she-"
"I said all is fine, Tammy. I just still didn't settle into the school properly, I assume. I'm sure I will be getting my head back into all of this soon." I interrupted.
Why do I get so defensive now? Why do I keep making up excuses for Vivian? God, this woman is way too prominent in my head.
"If you say so." she didn't seem convinced but dropped the subject nonetheless, which I am glad for.
The next few classes dragged on for longer than I wished for. I wasn't able to think up an excuse to not sit with Tammy that wouldn't get her all upset with me. During one of them, Vivian sent me a text to meet her in the women's bathroom before lunch. I was anxious and scared, and still, I was a bit excited about the meeting. What could she have possibly planned out now?
As I entered the bathroom, it seemed to be empty, so I took a few careful steps in. The door behind me slammed shut. I turned, barely catching a glimpse of her before she turned off the light. I could feel her grab my hand and pull me into the bathroom more. We ended up in a cubicle with a toilet. I could only tell by hearing the lock turn shut.
I almost wanted to scream but was silenced quickly by a kiss. Although I never gave my consent for any of this, when her hands grabbed my wrists and pushed them over my head and her lips sealed mine in this greedy, demanding kiss I only managed to close my eyes and let it happen. There was a tiny voice inside me that wanted me to put up a fight, but I couldn't. I didn't dare to. So I allowed it all to happen.
Almost as if she sensed it she let go of my wrists with one hand and held them there with just one of hers. I might have been able to rip free if I wanted, but I didn't. The fingers of her free hand trailed through my hair and pulled my head back. Her lips found my neck and kissed it, while her hand glided down over my body over the curve of my breasts and my sides to my butt. She groped it once roughly before slipping her hand under my skirt and brushing them over my panties just once.
I was dripping wet right now. The way this, much more confident, and strong-willed woman brought me under her complete control with just a kiss and a few brushes of her fingers turned me on so much. I could feel my knees start to shake more as she placed her palm against my crotch and pressed in ever so gently, just letting me feel that she was there, right at my entrance, able to slip in whenever she wanted.
I felt her lips brush up my neck, and she kissed me just beneath my earlobe once before whispering, "This will need to be enough to get you through lunch break for now. And don't forget to join me for math class."
With those words, she let go of me. I heard the lock open and the door open and close again. She turned the light back on as she left, and I opened my eyes. My heart was pounding like I just ran a marathon, and my knees and hands were shaking. I took a few moments to steady my breathing and get my thoughts to work again.
What the hell was this? This feeling of being lost and helpless, and only having her body to cling to and the smell of her perfume, around me.
I closed my eyes and almost subconsciously licked my lower lip as if I could still taste her there. Leaving the cubicle, I checked myself in the mirror. My hair was a bit disheveled from where she ran her hands through, and a slight print of her lipstick was on my earlobe. The biggest concern I had though was the love bite she left on my neck. I barely managed to cover it with the collar of my blouse if I closed the topmost button. To be extra sure I brushed my long hair to my other shoulder to cover it.
Her words were still echoing in my head.
This will need to be enough to bring you through lunch break for now.
How the hell am I supposed to think of school now?
…
Tammy kept asking what happened since I acted completely confused for the first part of lunch. I did my best to pull myself together during the break and the next class. Could anyone blame me? After what happened in that toilet, every girl here would have been irritated.
I was also desperately thinking of an excuse for why I would sit with Vivian in math. There had to be some way without hurting Tammy's feelings.
Sometimes you had to be lucky, though. Lucy was starting to feel a strong headache during the next class and asked us to tell the teachers while she was heading for the infirmary. In turn, that means that Dia had no seating neighbor, likely. As bad as it sounds to be happy about that, I might be able to convince Tammy to sit with her.
"Say, Tammy. Would you like to sit with Dia during math?" I asked while we were still walking there.
"What? Why would I?" she looked at the floor and I swear I might have caught her blush there.
"I was just thinking. You talked about her earlier. So I guessed you liked her. Besides, with Lucy being away you would not want to have Veronica take the seat just to annoy her, right?" I urged her on.
Come on, Tammy, take the bait.
"Well. I guess you're right. I mean, Dia and I are friends too. Kind of." Tammy contemplated.
"Exactly. And I think you might do her a huge favor with it." I went on to reassure her.
"But wouldn't that mean you would be sitting alone?"
I quickly waved her off, "No. Not at all. I will just sit with Vivian again. She and I start to get along, and I rather have her as a friend than an enemy."
"Really? To be honest July I don't like her. She has something about her that makes my skin crawl." Tammy said with a nervous smile.
Oh, she makes my skin crawl in all the right ways, too.
"Maybe you just don't know her that well yet. She's not that bad." I tried to close the subject.
"Well, as long as she doesn’t get you into trouble."
Sure enough, Tammy took the seat next to Dia for math class. It turns out Veronica indeed had the same idea and wanted to sit there, which of course ended in a small verbal fight between Dia and Veronica, with Dia supporting the idea of Tammy sitting beside her, which seemed to make her happy.
I on the other hand was nervous. Vivian was sitting beside me with her typical smirk plastered to her lips. What was she planning for this class? Concentrating was hard for me with the constant expectation of something happening under the table. Every passing minute felt like hours and hours.
Why doesn't she do anything? She must do something, right? Right?
I was completely caught off guard by the bell. The lesson was over. Class ended and nothing happened. Highly confused, I started packing my stuff, noticing Vivian take her sweet time doing so.
Does she want me to stay behind too? Does she not want to see me? Is she hoping I will just leave?
Everyone else already left class when she stood up and gave me a wink and a subtle nod of her head like she wanted me to follow. Even Tammy and Dia went out of the class already. Guess they got along better than I thought. I didn't mind her not waiting this time. My thoughts were already racing because of Vivian.
She barely cast a glance in my direction as I was walking beside her. When we turned a corner towards the direction of the stables, she suddenly stopped spinning around and effectively locking me between her and the wall again.
"Wasn't math class interesting, July?" she asked with a playful smirk on her lips.
I was lost for words for a moment and just stared at her. I felt my face heat up and my breath became a bit shallow as she leaned closer. Closing my eyes, I tipped my lips, awaiting another kiss. But it never came.
She instead just whispered, "Patience is a virtue, July. So don't get greedy."
As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw her walk away and round the next corner. I felt my knees quiver so hard that I had to lean back against the wall for support. This was so unexpected and so not what I wanted right now, I almost felt like crying.
What the hell is she doing to me?
