The Graded Affair

4.

It was Monday morning and I could hardly sleep the night before. In part because I was so scared this plan isn't going to work the other part I wanted to know more about Mr. Cage so badly. I got up and showered quickly, throwing on some darker eye shadow and nude lipstick. I curled my hair and put the dress on. 

A better person would care about this, I supposed, but then I thought of my plan and what it would get me, I needed to seduce Mr. Cage. So I flattened my dress, pushed my boobs up, and applied my best lipgloss on top of my lipstick. 

         "Lets do this" I said to myself in the mirror. As I headed to school I let my mind slip to the things Mr. Cage would do to me. I quickly pushed the thoughts out of my head once I remembered the plan and that this was all going to be temporary. Or maybe something more I allowed myself to indulge. 

Walking down the hall I could see out of the corner of my eye all the boys staring at me. Silly boys, I didn't wear this dress for you, I wore it for a man. 

         "Whore." I heard Layla say and for a split second I re-thought walking into Mr. Cages room looking like this. What if he thought I was a slut? My whole plan would be ruined. No, Im smart, he doesn't know me he doesn't know the real me or who everyone thinks I am. 

I walked into his room and he was busy at his desk doing something, so I found my desk in the back and sat down getting all of my books out. The bell rang and the last group of students pilled into the room. 

         "Okay class I'm sure you all read the syllabus over the weekend so you will know that we will be reading the first chapter of Romeo and Juliet today, then following with a paper on how you felt about the first chapter. So I will hand out books and get started if anyone needs my help I will be circling around." he announced. He was staring directly at me the whole time, we kept eye contact as he spoke and it made me lose my breath for a minute. 

         As he walked by my desk and put the book down he said "Hello Madelyn, its nice to see you again." ugh the way he said my name, made me want to grab him by his tie and bring his body down on mine.

          "You as well Mr. Cage." I answered with a smile. I opened the book and began to read. As I read I became more confused and didn't understand what was going on. It's the beginning of the book Maddie come on, I thought to myself. 

         Mr. Cage was about to pass my desk and I grabbed his hand quickly to stop him, "do you have a question Madelyn?" he asked 

          "Yes, Im confused what's going on in the first chapter." I say as innocently as I can. 

         "Well they introduce the rival family and a fight breaks out Benvolio tries to stop it but Tybalt shows up and makes it worse. The fight finally stops and the  Montague's discuss the whereabouts of their son, Romeo. He comes back to tell them he's in love but she doesn't love him back." Mr. Cage explains, "She teases him and he falls for it but she has no real intentions of falling in love with him. Kind of what your doing to me Madelyn." He finishes. Im startled at his last statement. 

         I look up at him astonished that he really just said that "Im only joking Madelyn." he said. 

He said he was joking but I could tell the dress worked. He couldn't keep his eyes off me the entire class. After that I kept the flirting up every time he walked by my desk, I would ask for help wether I needed it or not. Despite the fact I was working a scheme we really got along, I found myself adoring his goofy and dominant personality. Before I knew it the bell rang ending my time with him. 

          "I'll see you tomorrow Mr.Cage." I said, packing up my stuff. 

          "Back at you Madelyn." he returned. As I stood up his hand brushed my leg and in a very bold move I looked back and winked.
