Most noticeable, was that the temperature in the room was hotter than the week previous. The temperature outside hadn't changed much but it was noticeably hotter in the room and many people, including Whitney, were regretting their choice in wardrobe. She had already decided to remove the cardigan she had spent 5 minutes deciding on in her apartment.
Maybe less noticeable, but definitely there was a feeling that they were all crazy for showing up for a second week. Whitney herself felt ridiculous. Save for Claire and Marc, the married couple, no one was speaking to each other. They all sat in stunned, stuffy and sweaty silence. But, it was encouraging that not a single person who had finished the class last week had skipped the second week. All 6 boys and each of the 4 girls had returned for whatever craziness Professor Collier had in store for them tonight.
It had been just a week ago that each of them had lined their desks in a row, stripped their lower garments and trotted through the center allowing every other person in the class to fondle their genitalia. Considering how close they had been just a week earlier, one would think it would be easier to speak to each other. But just by showing up, they showed they were committed to the class, at least for now. In fact, each of them that Whitney could see had brought a Doctor's note that Professor Collier had asked them to bring, stating that they were STD free. Whitney was kicking herself for forgetting hers in the car. She debated with herself on whether or not she should go down the three flights of stairs to fetch it before class but when she finally made to go find it, the door opened at last to reveal Mrs. Collier.
She smiled widely to greet them, almost out of relief. "Good Evening everyone. It is great to see all of you." She surveyed the class in admiration. "It looks like most of you brought your Doctor's notes. If you could all come up and place them on the desk so that I can look them over."
And everyone did, slowly, except for Whitney. She raised her hand and apologized, "I have mine in the car, do you want me to go get it, or wait until after class?"
Mrs. Collier considered it for a moment but waved the question away, "I don't think we'll have any meaningful penetration today, I suppose it can wait until after class, just don't forget. Honestly, it's my fault. I should have thought of it before last class"
She began to absentmindedly rifle through the papers on her desk, "We're just waiting on one more, so let me look through these. If she's not here by then, we'll just go ahead and start without her."
Whitney's eyes narrows and she did a quick head count again. Four girls, six boys, just like last week. Was someone joining the class late? She noticed a few other confused faces as Mrs. Collier ran through the last of the doctor's notes.
The door opened again, just as Mrs. Collier was wrapping up.
It was the blonde that had left the previous week. Well, she almost left. When Whitney was a knuckle deep in Mrs. Collier, she had made eye contact with her through the door window and that was the last she thought she would see of her until now.
Mrs. Collier beamed, "Oh, Rachel. I'm glad you made it."
Rachel blushed prettily and dug a doctor's note out of her bag. She thrust it at Mrs. Collier and hurried to take a seat, farther from others in the class.
Mrs. Collier smirked but hid it before Rachel could see her, "Rachel reached out to me after class and asked for some more context about the course and a review of the first class. I invited her back today if she was comfortable and she is of course free to leave at any time."
Logan raised his hand, so polite. "It's hot in here, can we move to a different room or something?"
The professor shook her head in response. "No, I'm sorry. I specifically requested with the custodian for a warmer class today and going forward." She grinned, "I think we will all appreciate warmer hands."
And with that several faces, including Whitney's, blushed.
"Last week, was an introduction." Mrs. Collier began. "It was the best way I could think of for us to become comfortable with each other and to dip a toe into the water so to speak."
"It wasn't toes we were dipping," James commented and that brought some nervous giggles from a few in the room, including Professor Collier, though she tried to hide.
"We'll that might be for a later class," She giggled.
"Today, is an introduction to foreplay."
James groaned, "Foreplay is boring."
That got a quick shake of the head from Professor Collier, "Not if you're doing it right and unfortunately most Men think that way. The truth is, that it really doesn't take much to get Men going, in fact I would bet money that half of you have erections already."
Some nervous shifting from the boys may have provided evidence to support that claim.
