Awakenings - Part One

Grades

Three Months Later.

It is six days to the deadline for my first semester assignments and despite cramming in a lot of revision time I am finding it difficult to get everything done.

Long hours spent in the library and masses of homework and revision took over my life, I had to succeed, I needed to succeed.

As it turned out, languages with Miss Four had gone really well and after three assignments I was graded with a "B", I had three more assignments to hand in, two were due next week and the third to be presented in the new year.

I was struggling bad and it started to affect my concentration in class.

"Holly, please see me after class"

I was trying to stay awake.

"Yes Miss"

"And bring your two assignments so I can have a look at them"

I gulped because I had hardly managed to get any work done on them, but I calculated that Miss Four would hopefully be able to give me some pointers and get me through the semester.

Veronica ran her fingers, every so lightly along my thigh.

"Stop it, that tickles"

"You best wake up before the old dragon catches you napping, whats she want to see you about anyway"

"Wasn't you listening, the assignments are due in, Im struggling"

"Oh right, well I should warn you, some of the rumours about Miss Four are a little bit incredible"

She whispered in my ear, I listened intently and then looked at her with a bemused expression.

"That's got to be so much bullshit, where do you hear these stories?"

"All Im saying is, be careful".

The lesson was long and I did my best to keep an interest, then the bell rang and I sat back in my seat.

The room emptied and I watched as Miss Four walked to the door and closed it, she took the 'do not disturb' sign and put it across the window.

"Now then holly, your assignments"

I opened my bag and removed a sheaf of paper, she moved with the grace of a mountain lion and appeared in front of me, she leaned forward and her impressive cleavage stared back at me.

I licked my lips.

She picked up the papers and quickly read through the first two sheets, I watched as her eyes scanned the pages and then she looked up again.

"Holly, this work is good but not enough, so I want you to produce another three pages and bring them to my lecture room later today"

"Later?"

"Yes, I will be here till 9pm, this will give us time to read through the papers and for me to give you some pointers"

"Cant you do that now?"

"Holly I would love to but I have to attend a boring teachers meeting, so don't be late and get the work done"

"Is it that vital, Ive been doing really well and the "B" grade is what Im sitting at"

"Holly, if you fail to get this work in on time then that mark could easily become an 'E' or an 'F'"

"You cant be serious"

"Im deadly serious, you want to pass my class then get me three pages done and meet me later on tonight".
