Lesbian Academy (Girlxgirl, Lesbian)

Chapter 10: Surrogate

Chapter 10

I didn't know what to make of Lilith. Because almost all our classes were together, I saw her most of the day. She would give me the dirtiest glares from across the room whenever she had the chance. At third period, she "accidentally" bumped my desk. At lunch in the Middle House, her piercing grey eyes would also find its way to me. Why was she like this? It was my first kiss too. She didn't have to act like I stole it from her when she was the one who started it. But I let it slide. I didn't want trouble.

Our last class for the week was Health Education, or something to those lines. As usual, Lilith was somewhere in the room, staring at me evilly. I could feel her nasty glare putting a hole on my back. When would she tire of this? I wasn't even speaking to Alya anymore.

"By Monday, the doll should be in one piece," the professor said. "I expect nothing but the best results from the student of this Academy." What was she talking about? I have been zoning in and out throughout the lecture. She didn't make sense.

Candice raised her hand. The professor called on her. "Can't we make babies of our own? I don't want that creepy looking thing on my bed." She glanced at me. "My first baby should be cute. Preferably with Mars' features on her, not to mention the last name." She winked. "What do you say Mars? Build a family with me?"

I blinked a couple of times, trying to figure out what was happening. It was only after the teacher explained again that we were to take a baby doll home for the weekend as an assignment did it finally sink in. The reasoning behind it was to understand how hard it was to take care of another human being, though it was a doll. It would also impart responsibility, and all that.

The professor started to choose partners for us. "Mars will be paired with Lilith." Heck no.

"Excusez-moi?" came an irritated voice from the back. "I'm not to be paired with that person. I refuse to. My parents will hear about this."

The professor removed her glasses. She looked calm as she wiped it with the soft blue cloth that she got from her pocket. "Your parents may be on the board of this school, but they cannot dictate how we run things in the class." She tucked the glasses on the front of her blouse. "Either you do this with Mars, or you're going to fail your first assignment."

Everyone was listening with rapt interest. They knew that Lilith hated me to some extent. "Fine," she answered sharply. "I'm not happy about this."

The professor turned her back to us. "You don't need to. But you have to do the assignment anyway." She took a large box positioned on the table and opened it. It contained the baby dolls. So that was what it was for. I was asking myself that when she entered the room and asked some of us for assistance with carrying it. One by one, the dolls were handed to us. Lilith was the recipient for our so-called child. I snuck a look at the one Jade was carrying. The baby was bald and naked. Scary.

The professor had a satisfied look on her face once all the dolls were given. "Those are made entirely with a special material. It's very fragile, which means you have to take extra care when handling it."

"My heart is more fragile professor," Candice said as she frowned at the doll. "But I'm going to do my best to take care of Annabelle."

"You're naming our child after that horror film character?" Jade asked incredulously.

Candice wasn't bothered. "Her full name is Annabelle Chucky Renaldi. She's half French, half nightmare." Jade exhaled loudly.

I shifted my attention as the professor spoke. "It doesn't matter what you name the doll. What's important is the commitment you give it." There was humor in her eyes. "It's programmed to do some things too. Forget to nurture it and you're going to regret it." The professor glanced at her watch. "Class is over. Good luck for the weekend."
