ALL NOVEL 67 – Come See Me After Class
=Brighton Academy, Monday Morning=
Ms. Samoine walked between their desks placing last week's tests on them one by one.
Dave flipped over his test paper. Written in red pen at the top was:
A+
Come see me after class!
Kate poked at him from beside. "What did you get?" She whispered.
Dave smirked and raised the test paper to show off his grade.
Her eyes went wide. "That's impossible!" She said. She was so shocked she even forget whisper earning her a glare from Ms. Samoine,
She quickly shrunk her neck trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.
After Ms. Samoine's attention finally moved on from her she turned back to Dave. "How did you manage that?" She whisper yelled.
Dave chuckled. "What? I'm just a genius..." he said playfully.
She rolled her eyes. "And where was this genius before now? Did you cheat?" She asked.
He shook his head. "Why would I need to cheat? Are you jealous? Do I need to give you some 'personal tutoring'? He asked.
She blushed.
Ms. Samoine glared at him. "Getting better grades does not give you the right to misbehave in my class Mr. Stiersen," she warned.
Many of his classmates seemed surprised to find out he had actually managed to get a good grade. Most didn't even remember a time he got good grades since that was before he started High School and they weren't in the same class at the time.
He rubbed the back of his awkwardly. "Sorry about that Ms. Samoine I was just a little excited. It won't happen again," he said.
She nodded and returned to her lesson. It seemed his answer satisfied her.
The rest of class was over before he even noticed.
Dave looked over at Kate who was already packing her things into her backpack. "Go ahead and go to the cafeteria without me. Hopefully this won't take too long," he said.
"Ok, don't make me wait too long," She said with a smile.
Ms. Samoine got up and closed the door after the last student except for Dave left the classroom and locked it with an audible click.
He gulped. 'I'm not in trouble am I?' he wondered.
She looked over at him. "Please come have a seat over here," she said pointing at a chair in front of her desk.
He took the test paper and nervously walked up to the front of class.
She gestured for him to sit.
She crossed her arms which emphasised her ample breasts, it also inadvertently pulled down her top a little revealing the very top edge of her black lace bra. She stared at him over the rim of her glasses. "Do you know why I asked you to stay back?" She asked.
He struggled to look away, but eventually managed to look her in the eyes and shake his head. "No Ms. Samoine," he said nervously.
She sighed. "You do realise your test result was 3 points higher than your average, right?" She asked rhetorically.
He nodded slowly.
"And do you have anything to say for yourself?" She asked.
"Uhm... not that I can think of?" He said unsurely.
She looked at him with a scrutinising gaze. "Are you sure?" She asked.
He nodded. "Pretty sure..." He said.
She sighed and relaxed her gaze. "You suddenly started working out, you're getting into fights, and suddenly you're getting unusual grades..." she said.
She hesitated for a moment before standing up and walking out from behind her desk. She put her hand on his shoulder and leaned forward. He couldn't help, but glance at her cleavage she was nearly shoving in his face. "Is everything ok at home?" She asked.
Dave scratched his ear. "Uhm... yeah. Actually better than they have been," he said.
She kept looking at him without saying anything.
"Ok... well... you have my number. If something does come up don't hesitate to reach out," she said.
He swallowed due to his dry throat. "Of course Ms. Samoine," he said.
She looked a little concerned. "Are you feeling ok?" She asked.
He shifted awkwardly to hide his erection and quickly nodded while wearing an awkward smile. "Yes. I'm completely fine," he said.
She seemed relieved and sat back in her chair. She leaned back in her chair with a soft smile playing on her lips. She crossed her legs drawing his eyes to her shapely hips in that tight pencil skirt of hers. Even more of her legs was revealed as it hiked up over her knees. She lazily rocked her leg.
"So how did you manage to improve your grades so quickly? You went from barely getting passing grades to receiving the best score in class," she said.
"Nothing too special really. I just took some extra time to read the books some more," he said awkwardly.
She frowned. "Is that all?" She asked.
He chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah. It's not like I have the money for tutoring or anything like that," he said.
She nodded. Even if she didn't know about the abuse. She was somewhat aware of his home situation. At least to the extent that she knew despite his father being well off financially, he didn't really receive any financial support beyond the absolute minimum from his father.
"Well it's good that you're taking your education more seriously. It seems whatever you are doing is working so far. Keep up the good work," she said.
He nodded. "That's the plan," he said.
She looked at the clock on the wall before turning back to him. "Ok, you may go Mr. Stiersen," she said.
He nodded and quickly packed his things to leave.
She looked up at him as he was heading out of the classroom. "And again. If you need any help don't hesitate to ask," She said just before he reached the classroom door.
He turned his head and smiled. "Thank you Ms. Samoine," he said before walking out of the classroom.
He speed walked towards the cafeteria. 'Alright, let's go find Kate. There should still be plenty of time for lunch,' he thought to himself.
