Mummy Dearest

Chapter 5

Manuela's last Summer school holidays had been over. It was the time for the last form to begin. Once it was over, all the privileges of no-longer-a-pupil.

On the first day, as usually, Fräulein von Bernburg spent some time with her class telling them this an that. However, it was slightly different that time. The teacher stressed that it was last year and that pupils needed to have enough knowledge to pass final exams and that some of final marks would be very important for those who would continue to study to get higher education.

"Manuela doesn't need to worry about Mathematics and other hard subjects." One pupil said. "She would be accepted to study Art even now if it were possible."

"This is because Manuela is talented. And in German as well. For others, however, it will take hours upon hours of study to not worry about a University's entrance exams." Some pupils sighed in response.

"It's the first day only. Don't be so discouraged." The teacher tried to cheer up the children.

Edelgard and Ilse left the classroom with others right after the end of "celebration-conversation", but their best friend stayed for some reason that she didn't voice. Ilse didn't wanted to hear any explanation. Her only wish was to prolong time with no home work, and the least school, the better. Also, she wanted to be together with Edel once more. She didn't have a slightest idea that Manuela wanted to have same with Elisabeth; although the two pupils had much more freedom. No one could suspect anything when two girls wanted to go for a walk right after school.

"As every time, my favourite pupil is the only one who stayed. Even Edelgard left quickly."

"Actually, her reason is the same why I'm here still."

"Ah, Ilse benefited a lot from their friendship."

"And kisses," Manuela added and embraced standing Elisabeth, her arms around the teacher's waist. The way they looked could be interpreted as if Manuela's unsaid words "And you're mine." Despite not much had happened during several years, Manuela would be a "top" one of them. They loved each other a lot, but in addition to this, the girl had very high libido and couldn't wait to do whatever she would like as long as her girlfriend wouldn't feel bad about it. Adoration, admiration, but also "I want you" that had to be subdued somehow. Only Elisabeth knew about it and how hard it was for Manuela. However, the teacher constantly showered her girl with love as she deserved. Daily kisses, some slight snogging (and not so slight too) from time to time helped Manuela a lot.

"They are too?"

"What?"

"Fell in love along the way. Friends to girlfriends."

"We didn't suppose to be friends, actually." Manuela continued quietly, "From the line in-between, but with platonic feelings to a lot of love and then no line at all."

"Exactly, and it includes something pleasant." Nothing more needed to be said. A long, tender kiss that later grew into more. After all, Manuela was Fire element.

"It's time to go, don't you think?"

"Oh, I forgot completely. At least, I'll see Mutti again. But you—"

"No need to worry. I'll have things to do. Besides, before you at school, my life had been less pleasant. How about a celebration of your last year at school on Sunday?"

Manuela agreed immediately.

Of course, the shared secret was safe with Elisabeth. She was lesbian herself and her situation was much more risky. Anyway, she was not a person to harm others. On the contrary, if needed, she would help them somehow.

Pupils hadn't much home work yet, so Manuela finished all tasks before Sunday. The girl desided to get something from her dearest teacher for the small accomplishment.
