It was summer vacation, but I was stuck on the college campus for summer classes. Out of boredom, when one of my floor mates offered me some weed, I said why not and lit the joint in the common area. It's not like anyone was left during summer break, and I had only seen Caleb, a super attractive graduate student who was also the dorm manager, like twice the entire year.
Except now it was 3, because he stood right in front of me! When did he get here? I hadn't even started smoking yet.
Click. He took a picture of me! "I'll be reporting this. You should know we have a strict no drugs policy in the dorms."
"Wait!!" I jumped up trying to reach his phone, which he easily held high above my reach. I inadvertently pressed my body against his trying to reach his phone. Too bad he had quick reflexes. I pulled back. "I'm a really good student. I swear this is the first time I've ever tried something like this. I'm a straight A student, I'm going to be valedictorian of my class, and I can't get into a top 10 law school if I'm on academic probation because of drugs! If anyone, you should go bust James. He's the one who's passing them out like candy."
"Who's James?" Caleb asked.
"He lives at the end of the hall."
"Well I caught you, not him."
The one time in my life I thought I would try something everyone does, I get caught! I felt my bottom lip start to tremble.
"Tommy, calm down." He put his hand on my shoulder.
"How do you know my name?"
"You're one of the students in my dorm."
"You didn't know James," I pointed out.
He blushed. "Well, you're prettier."
This hot grad student thinks I'm pretty? "Pretty enough to be let off with a spanking and a warning?" I batted my eyelashes at him.
His eyes darkened. "Don't tempt me."
"Caleb, please, I'll do anything! Well, not anything anything, um..." That came out wrong! I was still a virgin with not a lot of sexual experience after all. "Maybe I can help you with something as a favor? Oh! Aren't you the teaching assistant for one of my classes? I guess you're kinda everywhere I am this summer. What if I helped you out in that class or something?"
He seemed to mull it over then smirked. "Fine. I have your cell from the dorm registry. I'll text you instructions the night before."
.......
Caleb: Sit at the front, in front of my desk during lecture tomorrow.
Caleb: That is if you want to be a good student and get into law school.
Okay, that didn't seem like such a big deal. Was he going have me assist him if I'm closer to him?
I told my friends I usually sit with in that lecture that I forgot my contacts so I was going to sit up front today.
I sat at the very left corner of the front row, across from the set up table the teaching assistant - that would be Caleb - sits at. There was only a wall to my left and the rows were curved, so the person to my right would have to look behind to see me. Plus, I was hopeful only nerds sat in the front so the guy seated a few seats down would probably be intently watching the professor. In a large auditorium of over a thousand students at a state school, no one would notice me there.
Caleb arrived a few minutes later.
Caleb: Good boy.
Me: I'm not a dog!
Caleb: If anything, you're a cute, frisky kitty.
Me: Do you need help with anything today?
Caleb: I'll let you know when I want you to do something.
He didn't ask me to do anything at all. I just sat across from him, he looked at me and smiled sometimes, and that was it. It was kind of weird.
......
The second lecture was weirder.
Caleb: Paint your nails the same green as your eyes.
I often painted my nails bright colors. I sat up front again with my favorite green polish.
In class, Caleb: You're looking very cute today.
......
He continued to text his commands the night before each class, but they weren't things that would seem to help him or accomplish anything.
Caleb: Bring a lollipop to suck tomorrow.
In class, Caleb: Ugh. You're sweeter than any candy.
.....
Caleb: Wear that stuff on your lips that make them pink and shiny.
In class, Caleb: Stop licking your lips. I can't focus on grading papers.
Me: I'm not! And if you can't focus, let me sit in the back with my friends.
Caleb: Hmmm, no.
It was annoying but not horrible. I mostly ignored him during class, though I could feel him watching me for the entire hour. It sometimes gave me butterflies in my stomach and I liked seeing his reactions. It's not like I looked forward to it or anything. The summer session was halfway over anyways. I could make it a bit more.
.......
Caleb: Wear a loose shirt.
He texted me an order for the first time during lecture.
Caleb: Slip your shirt off of one shoulder.
I paused. This was new.
Me: I'm not stripping in class!
Caleb: Is that an invitation for after class?
Me: Omg no!!!
Caleb: Just the shoulder.
I looked around and casually slipped my shirt off my left shoulder. I could feel his eyes on me like a heated caress. I brushed a finger down my neck and across my exposed shoulder. His eyes tracked my every movement. Mmmh. I'd never admit it out loud, but I was looking forward to him looking at me each day.
......
Caleb: Wear a black mesh tank top.
I did have one of those, but I only wore it to go clubbing, and it was way too revealing for lecture.
Me: No.
