She's the little

Chapter 7

I walked down the hall with James, to my new mastery class, bobbing along.
I felt pretty good today, like I could make it to every class, Which really made me happy.

I waltzed into the room with James and almost immediately, Bella dived at me giving me a hug.
"Hey bell, what's up." I say pulling away from the hug but she had her arms locked.

"Just remember I'm here and your safe." She whispered in my ear.
"Uhm okay?" I whispered back as Bella let go, then her caregiver came over and pulled her way, whispering in her ear, telling her off.

Okay now I was not as good as I was before.
I looked around to see where James had gone and saw he was up by the teachers desk, so I scanned the room and saw a good few little and care givers around the room, and the back of the room was set up more like a kids play room.
Uh oh. very big uh oh

"Dianna?" James said appearing beside me.
"Hay. Where am I sitting?" I ask then I felt his hand on my back as he lead me to an empty desk that instead of chairs it had a long high bench and I got up on the seat, still trying to scan the room, but James wanted my attention.

"So I was thinking you could come to my place tomorrow, so you know you can get a feel of things, and um we could make up some uh, guidelines-" James said, while his hand slowly snaked its way around the back of my waist, as he used his pointer finger to draw circles on the bend of my hip, trying to comfort me.
I could tell he was trying to ease his way into things, and I appreciated that but I was still very much on edge and his hand was not helping.

"Rules. You want to make rules, just say rules." I said, agitated and i was Bobbing my thigh up and down trying to calm my nerves.
There was something about this class I knew I wasn't going to like.

Everyone started trickling into there seats and the teacher started getting up to begin whatever lesson this was going to be.

The teacher began writing on the board and I couldn't see what it was till she finished but as she did it took me barely a second to jump down from the desk.
"Intro to age regression - punishments and rewards."
As soon as my feet hit the ground I felt James lift me back up, which the arm that I now know was not for comfort.

"Get off me." I whispered as James put me back on the bench both hands on my waist now.
I began squirming so get down but James was persistent.
"Dianna, please stop." He whispered in my ear trying to calm me.
My struggles we're getting me nowhere so I gave up struggling.

This was so overwhelming and the class had barely even started, and James wasn't helping.
I know he was doing his best but I felt like I had just been thrown in a pool.

Giving up on struggling I decided on refusing to listen, crossing my arms on the desk and burying my head, squeezing my arms over my ears, as my eyes welled up.
I felt like I was totally over reacting but I did not want to be in this class.

James

I gave out a frustrated breath looking round the room thinking of what to do, or hoping mrs Pelbear would help me out or tell me what to do but she was too busy explaining how rules aren't one sided, which would probably be quite interesting if Dianna wasn't going mental.
My eyes wandered the room and I saw Dianna's little red head friend watching us from across the room, then she tried to slip off the bench, I'm guessing to come over here but her caregiver stopped her.

I gently rubbed Dianna's back trying to calm her down.
To be honest I think I expected a louder reaction or a lot more struggling, but then again Dianna has been nothing but gentle.

I took one last look around to see the red head looking directly at me mouthing something.
Hug? It took me a second to realise she was telling me to hug her.
I was unsure about doing that to her because she never really showed any interest in physical touch, especially not with me.
I gave the girl one last look and she was nodding at me like I was slow.

Ok ok
I hesitated  a bit before gently and slowly scooping her up, making sure it give her a chance to push back. It didn't take much effort to lift her onto my lap letting he bury her face I'm my collar, and he hands came up covering her ears.
I had one had on the back of her head and the other on her lower back.

I listened as her breathing got a little slower and her legs stopped shaking.
"Your okay, your fine, everything is okay." I whispered to her, rocking slightly.

We sat like that for the hole lesson.
I'm pretty sure she fell asleep for most of the end, but it was ok, I mean it was grate, I got to hold her. I wish it had been under better circumstances yes, but I got to hold her
