The Smell of Paint

Trigger: insecurity

"Please I - I need m-more". Her mind floods with need. She didn't care how she sounds. She'll have all the time to reflect later. The only thing keeping her mind occupied is if her Profe- no her Dominant, will give her the punishment—she so desperately craves.

"Oh kitten. Where in the world do you think you can make suc-

CLASS DIMMISSED!!!!!

Genevieve jumps up at the sudden yell from her English Professor. She wasn't keeping up with time, she was to focused on her new erotic book. Does Genevieve care if anyone noticed her reading such a naughty book? Nope, not one bit.

After gathering her stuff into her book bag,  she gets up and starts to walk down the stairs like everyone else. With each step down the stairs her mind kept wondering off. The person in front of her become a shield, blocking the redness that covers her face. Genevieve was so out of it, that she didn't noticed her getting ready to jump in front of her.

"Hey Gen!! You ready to go get some FOOD!"

For the second time of the day, Genevieve jumps at a sudden yell. She looks up after her body relaxes, only to see her beautiful blonde best friend. Lacey is the same age as Genevieve but not in the same major. Genevieve is a Music major, while Lacey is a Computer Science major.

Lacey always ran from her previous class to Genevieve's, just so they can spend time together. The two go way back...like pre-school back. They have always been there for one another. You can say they are the duo that most people say "opposites attract". Lacey was Prom Queen in high school and Genevieve....well wasn't. Genevieve was a plus size band nerd. She has no problem with being plus size. Of course, there were times she wished to be skinny like Lacey... and prom queen— but she is the person she wants to be, so why change?

"How was class? I know you have been struggling with your algebra. You sure you don't need me to help you study?" Lacey says with puppy dog eyes.

"I'm sure Lac. You need to focus on your own school work. I'll be fine. I mean there is google."

She looks at Lacey and showcases her sunshine smile. That certain smile is the one where no one can say no too. Especially Genevieve's parents.

"Fine but when you fail, don't be crying to me"

Lacey says while pointing her finger at Genevieve. Making the two stop in the hallway.

Genevieve pushes her friend to the side, which happens to make Lacey bump into other students.

"Whoever's there last has to buy the winner's food!!!"

Genevieve screams—already taking off with a bratty smile.

——————————————————

Since Genevieve cheated, of course she wins the race. Lacey (the loser) waits in line for her and Genevieve's tacos at a food truck. Their school has luxuries like that.

"Genevieve!"

Someone screams behind her.

She hears the voice, and surprisingly this time she didn't jump. Genevieve turns her head and takes the view of a running flaming hot Cheeto.

"Hey will you please talk to our band director about this performance on Saturday?"

Simone asks with little to no air in their lungs.

"What about the performance on Saturday?"

She says as she scoots over, giving Simone the hint to join. Genevieve already knew why Simone was asking her to talk to the BD *(band director)*. She was second in command in her university's Marching Band. She loves being in band but she loves the younger band members even more. The younger ones respect her more then the Drum Major, who is well—not such a good person.

"To push the date back obvi"

Genevieve laughs hearing the crazy request.
Simone's red wolf cut, blows in the wind groaning about having to preform on a weekend.

"Oh hey there Wolfe!"

Lacey says while handing Genevieve's food to her with some sass.

The three sit on the table that sits in the middle of the courtyard. There is chatter surrounding the three friends, but you can hear the trio a mile away.

"Hey I heard about Professor Smith."

Simone brakes their current conversation with a new one.

"I know it sucks, I heard he was a good teacher."

Professor Smith was going to be Genevieve's Fine Arts Professor. But due to him being on the older side of life, he sadly passed away.

"But I heard they got a new Professor for the class. So I'll tell ya if he's cute." Genevieve jokes while taking a bite of her food. It's funny how she'll be eating her words later on too.

"I hope he isn't too hard on me."
