Alex's Mom

Editor's Forward: This was based on a prompt that can be found here. I've added italics to that portion. This is quite possibly the funniest one that has been created so far. The prompt was just about a boy and his mom, although it had a 'nsfw' tag, which was worrying. Little happened until the bio teacher showed up for some reason. Then we find out he's teaching a health class and it all gets wildly inappropriate from there. Like really inappropriate.

You are Alex, an 18-year-old college student that lives with his single mother in a hot suburban town in Arizona. You wake up to an ordinary summer morning. You stretch, yawn, and clamber out of bed, then you go take your morning shower.

After freshening up, you smell the alluring aroma of Mom’s Saturday breakfast—pancakes and sausage. You head downstairs, eager for your usual Saturday morning feast, and enter the kitchen. Like always, Mom is busy at the stovetop, flipping pancakes. Her fading ginger hair is tied back in a bushy ponytail, and she’s humming a peppy tune.

 

She smiles when she sees you, and calls out, “Hey, you. Happy 18th birthday.” She turns the stove off and quickly rinses the frying pan. Mom is pretty fit for her age. She has to be, to have birthed and raised you, and to follow your every whim. She works out regularly, and always dresses in a way that flaunts her toned body. Her popular posts on weight-loss tips and exercise techniques are well-read, and she takes pride in the fact that you always look up to her.

You pick up a stack of buttermilk pancakes. They are light and fluffy, with a crunchy exterior. The maple syrup is thick and sweet. You take a seat at the table.

“Why don’t you grab some butter and jam, and I’ll call you when the table’s ready,” Mom suggests, as she turns on the TV to catch the eleven o’clock news.

You find yourself in the kitchen, staring at the counter, covered in butter, jam, syrup, jelly, and other breakfast products. You select a small block of cream cheese, and a jar of strawberry preserves. Feeling a little like a kid in a sweet shop, you prepare yourself a feast. You cut the cream cheese into tiny pieces and add it to the butter. You mash them together with a fork. You add the jelly, preserves, and some other delicious-smelling stuff you can’t quite identify. You mix everything together well, and you are ready to enjoy your delicious breakfast.

You sit down at the table, fork in hand. Mom turns up the volume on the TV, so she can hear conversation over the news broadcasts. She is a big sports fan, and loves everything about sports: the players, the games, and especially the stats. She is a huge baseball fan, and knows almost every one of the stats. She is well-versed on the sport of golf, and can recite the names of the winning players. She was once even in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

“I’m done,” Mom says. She puts her water glass down on the table and smiles. You finish your meal in less than five minutes.

“I’m done,” you say.

“Let’s go,” she replies, standing up.

You follow her upstairs to the dining room. Mom sits down at the head of the table. You sit beside her. You grab a stack of paper plates from the cupboard. You set one stack on each of the four dining room tables.

“We have a special guest today.”

You turn around to see Mr. Rockford, your biology teacher. He stands in the doorway, nervously fiddling with his striped tie. You stare at him apprehensively.

“He’s here to perform for us,” Mom adds.

“Happy 18th,” Mr. Rockford says, smiling. “I made you these.” He holds out a plate full of chocolate chip cookies.

You stare at the cookies in his hand. You didn’t do anything for your birthday, so you assumed that Mr. Rockford made these without your knowledge. You feel a little bit guilty about not returning his kindness.

“Thank you,” you say.

You pick up the stack of paper plates on the nearest table. You grab a plate and a fork from the cupboard. You grab a napkin from the drawer and set the plate and fork on top of the napkin.

“Do you need some help?” Mom asks, hurrying to the table and eyeing the stacks of unopened gifts.

“No. I got it,” you say, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

You quickly grab a napkin and put it in your lap. You grab a fork and a cookie. Mr. Rockford sits down. You catch him staring at your mom.

You pick up your fork and take a huge bite of a cookie. It is delicious! You take another bite, and another. Before you know it, you have finished the entire plate of cookies, along with three forks.

“Well done,” says Mr. Rockford. “I made these myself. I hope you like them.”

“These are great!” you say through a mouthful of cookie. “I love your cookies.”

“Thank you, dear,” says Mom.

“I’m glad you liked them,” says Mr. Rockford. He looks at the stack of gifts in the corner of the room that no one is sitting at.

“That’s for you,” he says to you.

 “Thank you. You shouldn’t have.”

“I know they’re a little awkward. I was a bit unorthodox in arranging them.”

“They’re awesome,” you say, as you tear into them.

“So how’s your day going?” asks Mr. Rockford.

“It’s going great,” you say, between mouthfuls of cookie.

“That’s good,” he says. “I’m glad. I was feeling a little guilty about all the things I made you without your knowledge.”

You laugh. “It’s okay. I know you made me those cookies. I love them.”

“Well, I’m glad,” he says. “I was feeling a little bad about it, but I know you’re happy about them. I’m glad.”

“I’m really happy,” you say. “I’m happy about everything!”

“Great,” he says. “That’s great.”

He looks at your mom. The two of you finish the meal in silence.

After lunch, you head back to your room. You shove the last of your cookies into your mouth as you walk down the hall. This whole day has been awesome! Everything’s going so well.

You walk into your room, shoving the plate into the trashcan as you go. Your mom enters a little later. She’s carrying a large trash bag.

“I cleaned up after lunch. I got rid of most of it, but a few things got lost in the process,” she says.

 “Mom,” you ask. “Is there something I should know about Mr. Rockford?”

Your mom looks at you for a moment, and then she nods.

“I know about you and him,” she says.

“You do?” you ask, surprised.

“I know everything,” she says. “I know about the notes he leaves for you. I know that he leaves gifts for you in his office. I know that he made all the decorations for your birthday party.”

 You start to cry. “I just want him to leave me alone.”

“I know you do, sweetie,” she says. “And I want him to leave you alone, too. But it doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen. So I made this for you.”

She pulls the box out of her bag. The top of the box is tied with red ribbon.

“Happy birthday, Alex,” she says, smiling as she walks over to your bed.

You rush over to her. You tear open the box with both hands. Inside, you find a stuffed animal with red yarn for its hair and an apron with the words “Happy Birthday, Alex” written on it. It is a stuffed teddy bear with a red bow on its stomach. You hug it desperately, crying and laughing. You can’t believe it!

“Thanks, Mom,” you say through your laughing.

“I love you, Alex,” she says, hugging you back.

“I love you, too, Mom.” You hold her. It feels nice.

“I should’ve done this a long time ago,” she says.

“Yeah.” She smiles at you.  “A lot of things could’ve been a lot different if you’d been born a little later.”

“Yeah,” you say.

“Time to go to bed,” she says.

“Okay.” You pick up the stuffed animal and hug it. You hear Mr. Rockford’s voice in your head.

I’m glad you like them. I’m glad you like me.

“Good night, sweetie.”

You hang onto the teddy bear. You think about what you’ve been told. Maybe you should give him a chance. But, you’re scared.

You climb into bed and fall asleep holding the teddy bear. Later that night you hear a noise in your mom’s bedroom.  You creep over to her door, but don’t see anything out of the ordinary. You walk back to your own room and go to sleep.

In the morning, your mom wakes you up for school. You walk to the bathroom half asleep. You bump into Mr. Rockford. He’s taking a shower.

“Ugh,” he says, walking out of the bathroom in nothing but a pair of blue and white boxer shorts. He looks at you.

“Good morning, sleepyhead. Did you sleep okay?” You freeze in terror. Why is he here? Does he know?

“You didn’t forget about your birthday, did you?” he asks, moving toward you. “I brought you a present.”

He holds a stuffed bear out for you to see. He makes you uncomfortable.

“Aww, Mr. R gave you a new present,” your mom says from behind you. “That’s so cute.”

“Yeah,” he says, putting the bear back in his pocket. Your mom is in a sheer negligee.

“I baked you a cake,” she says, smiling. “I think I heard the shower running. Do you want me to get you something to eat?”

You can’t stomach food. Did Mr. Rockford spend the night? “No, thanks,” you mumble, walking out of the room.

When you get to class, Mr. Rockford is already lost in thought, writing on his whiteboard. All you can imagine is him in bed with your mom. You hope you’ll never know. You settle into your chair.

“All right, class,” he says. “Today we’re going to learn about intercourse.”

You snicker. No way is that going to happen.

“Be prepared to write a brief summary of the human body on the chalkboard,” he says, as if he knows you won’t be prepared.

As you write down the different parts of the human body, you think about Mr. Rockford’s privates. No way is he getting an A in biology.

“I’m going to pair you with a female partner,” he says. A girl giggles. You shoot her a dirty look, but she just shrugs. She can’t control herself. You’re used to it.

Mr. Rockford pairs you with a cute girl named Abbey. “If you have any questions about the opposite sex, you can ask your partner,” he says.  “She won’t lie to you, I can promise.”

You blush. Is he always so forward?

“All right, we’ll start with directions for intercourse. What are the different directions?” One student raises his hand.

“Yes?” Mr. Rockford says.

“Are there different ways to do it? Like, is it just do it fast and dirty, or is there a slow and gentle method?”

“Good question. I wouldn’t try the slow and gentle method unless you were with a professional, because it can lead to serious injury. But yes, there are different methods to it. Here, I’ll draw you a diagram.” He draws an X on the chalkboard. “We’ll start with the basics. First, there’s the missionary position. The man lies on his back, and the woman lies on her back with her legs in the air. The man enters the woman from behind. Then, there’s the man on top position. The man lies on his back and the woman lies on her back with her legs wrapped around the man’s waist. The man enters the woman from behind and goes... Oh dear. I seem to have lost my chalk. Can you help me out here? The man goes...” He blushes. “... goes inside of the woman from behind. There are also a few other positions beyond those. The side by side, sitting position, lying on your back position, and—”

Editor's Interjection: The side-by-side position, eh?

“Back it goes, back it goes,” a student says in a sing-song voice.

“Yes, yes,” Mr. Rockford says. “Anyway, that’s the basics. Now, here’s how to perform the act. First, you two need to be aroused. Aroused? A-R-O-U-S-ED. Are you aroused? Good. Let’s continue.”

You are.

“Second, you need to put some pressure on the woman. That’s where the phrase ‘the buck stops here’ comes from. Imagine a buck stops here...” He points to his crotch. “... and the buck stops here, too. That pressure creates a sort of...” He blushes. “... crease. Like this.” He shows you a small bump on his crotch. “Now, put some pressure on her there.”

Editor's Interjection: I'm pretty sure that's not what that phrase means, but moving on...

You raise your hand.

“Yes?” Mr. Rockford says.

“Does the woman have any say in whether to perform sexual intercourse or not?”

“Well, that depends on the woman,” he says. “Depends on whether she wants to or not.”

“I mean, she can refuse, right?”

“Yes, that’s true,” he admits. “But if she refuses, well, it’s no big deal. The male body produces enough testosterone that the man will be... able to perform without her input.”

Abbey is giggling. You glare at her. You wish you could take your mind off of... you know who. You could do this experiment in your biology class. Screw the stupid test. You could... No. You’re not doing that. You are, however, thinking about the experiment and how to perform it in the back of the school bus. You’re pretty sure Abbey is doing the same thing.

Abbey leans over and whispers in your ear, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. We’re just thinking about the test,” you lie.

“No, I can tell.” She’s too friendly. She’s trying to make a relationship!

“Well, stop it,” you hiss.

“Okay,” she says. “I’m sorry.”

“Just stop.”

“Okay.” Mr. Rockford continues.  “Now, the last step is to... yup, you guessed it. Sexual... intercourse. How did you two do on that question?”

You and Abbey look at each other. You raise your hand. “Um, I just turned 18. I haven’t had sex yet.”

“Me neither,” Abbey says sheepishly.

“Well, good for you two. Now, we’ll move on to the next question. Who was the first person to perform oral sex on you?” You look back in horror as Mr. Rockford drags a hand across his throat. You and Abbey look at each other. You know what you have to do.

You lean over and whisper in her ear, “Me.”

“Yuck,” she says.

“Just be quiet,” you say.

“I’m sorry. I just never... I don’t know. Never talked to anyone about it before.”

 “You sucked your own dick? How?” she asks.

“No! Well, yes, but I mean, I didn’t do it on purpose. It just sort of happened. I was drunk. I think.”

“You were drunk and you sucked your own dick.”

“Yeah. It just sort of happened. I was wasted. I think.”

“You think?” she asks.

“Well, yeah. I mean, I was drunk. The room was spinning. I don’t think I could’ve opened my eyes, even if I wanted to. I just...”

“Tell me the story.”

“What?”

“The story. Tell me the story of how you sucked your own dick.”

You look around. The whole class is eager to hear the details. You’re about to bare your soul. To tell the world that you were drunk and in a dorm room when you sucked your own penis for the first time.

“Well I forgot pants that day. I was real wasted. I was gonna play spin the bottle, but then we just sat around and I kept drinking out of other people’s bottles. And... well, I think I kissed Abbey...”

She smacks you. “You promised not to tell.”

“I know, but...”

“But nothing. No buts. You promised.”

Mr. Rockford laughs. “So Alex. Guess you struck out.”

You shrug your shoulders. “I guess.”

“Didn’t anyone want to?”

“Well, I did,” Abbey says. “But I don’t think I want to anymore.”

“Don’t blame you. Okay, who here stays up late to watch Skinemax?”

No one raises their hands. Well, no one except for you.

“Great. Make sure you write down the name of the movie you watch. I’ll see you tomorrow, Alex. Don’t be late.”

You groan. You’re gonna be up all night anyway because of this whole story. You’ll see the movie on your own time. You don’t have to be there for that. Mr. Rockford asks a few more questions.  He lets the class go, and then he calls you over to his desk.

“I didn’t think you’d be so quick to bare your soul, Alex. I guess I was right.”

“I’m sorry. I just... I...”

“I know why you did it. I respect it. I was just surprised.”

“I just... I wanted to tell you the truth.”

“I know. And that’s what makes you special, Alex. That’s why I picked you for this class. I picked you because I see something in you. A lot of people don’t see that.

 “Are we really ready for this class?”

“Oh yeah. I’m about ready to teach the class. Are you?”

You raise your hand. “Yeah.”

“Okay. Well, we got a movie to see. Let’s go.” At home you get a surprise. Mr. Rockford arrives with Abbey.

“I didn’t know if you wanted me to come or not. I just thought since you were in the neighborhood you might want to... you know...”

You blush. “Yeah, sure. Thanks.”

“You had some Skinemax to watch, right?” she asks.

“Yeah. I got the name of it out of the register. It was the first one I looked at.”

“It was a good choice. It was pretty funny.”

You blush. The two of you sit on the couch and wait for ‘Red Shoe Diaries’ to start.

“I thought you weren’t going to want to watch it with me,” you say.

“I changed my mind. I heard there’s some steamy love scenes in it.”

“There are, but there’s also a lot of cursing in it, too. You may be offended.”

“Who gives a shit? I’m just going to watch it. I’ve seen worse on television.”

“Okay. I just... I don’t want you to be disappointed.”

She smiles. “Oh, Alex. I’m super disappointed already.”

“You mean it?”

“I might’ve been drunk, but I wasn’t stupid.”

“Is that a promise?”

“It is if you promise to get me pregnant. I want a whole litter of babies.”

“I’ll try, Abbey.”

“I know you will. I can’t believe Mr. Rockford let you have this class. I know who you are, Alex.”

You grin from ear to ear. “So do I.”

Mr. Rockford and your mom walk in and nestle on the couch. The movie starts playing. You’re halfway through the movie when the doorbell rings. You go to answer it, and it’s Nick.

“Hey,” he says.

“Hey, yourself. Come on in.”

“Thanks.”

He sits down beside you and Abbey. “What movie is this?”

“It’s the one with the girls who are cheerleaders, and their boyfriends fuck them all the time.”

“The one with the really big breasts? I love that movie.”

“It’s an assignment for class.”

“Oh. Well, what’re you guys doing?”

“We’re watching the movie,” you say.

“I thought you might be,” he giggles.

“You’re fuckin’ weird.”

“You think so? Well, at least I’m not boring.”

Abbey crinkles her nose. “I thought this was a porno movie.”

“We’re just... talking.”

 You look over at your mom. She has her hand down Mr. Rockford’s pants.

“I better go,” Nick says. “I... um... got a doctor’s appointment.”

“For what?” you say.

“For my... um... puberty.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah. You coming to bed tonight?”

“Yeah. I’ll be there in an hour.”

You watch the last few minutes of the movie, ‘Red Shoe Diaries’. Mr. Rockford is red in the face. “I’ll see you tomorrow too. I need to get to bed.” He heads upstairs with your mom.

You get up and head to the shower.

 

The next morning, you’re woken up by a knock on the door. Abbey opens it and lets Nick in.

“Hey,” you say. “What’re you doing here so early?”

“I couldn’t sleep. I had to talk to you.”

“Oh. Yeah? What about?”

“Can I see you for a sec?” he asks.

“Yeah. Come on in. I was just getting out of the shower.”

You walk out of the bathroom, and he follows you. You walk down the hall and into the living room. Nick sits down next to you on the couch.

Abbey comes up behind him and sits next to you.

“I had a really good time at the party last night,” Nick says.

“I did too,” Abbey says.

“Do you want to have... you know... again?” you ask.

“Sure, but we need to get to class.”

“Oh. Okay.”

“I’ll call you,” he says. “I’m not going to be around for a while. I’ll text you.”

“Okay.”

“Later.”

You head to class, and Mr. Rockford starts the lecture. “Okay class, report what you did for homework last night.”

Everyone except you raise their hands and give a brief report. You briefly describe your evening with Nick.

“I see. Well, Alex, what’d you do?”

You shrug. “I watched a movie. You were there.”

Mr. Rockford chuckles. “I didn’t think you’d be able to make it to the party with a movie.”

“I tried. But Nick kept texting me.”

“Describe the love scene you saw.”

“Well, I didn’t see much of a love scene. It was pretty short.”

Mr. Rockford smiles and rolls his eyes. “Okay class, let’s move on to page 47 of our textbook.” You turn to the page. It’s about female anatomy.

Mr. Rockford clears his throat. “Now, as I was saying, let’s review the parts of the female... body.” You turn the page. “I need a volunteer,” he requests.

You raise your hand.

“What do you mean ‘I’m reviewing anatomy’, Mr. Rockford?”

“I’m joking, Alex. I want you to take a seat. Here’s what I need...I need a FEMALE volunteer.”

You look around. No one else raises their hands. You’re in luck. You raise your hand and Mr. Rockford smiles.

“Thank you, Alex. Would you like to stand?” You stand. “Abbey, why don’t you join him?”

Abbey gets up and shrugs on her backpack. “It’s okay.”

“It’s not okay, Alex. We don’t stick our hands up our shirts in first grade. We learn to walk.”

Editor's Interjection: What...?

“What?”

“Just do it, Alex,” Abbey says.

You walk to the front of the class. “I’ll show you how to do it, okay?”

“Okay.”

You raise your hand and stick your... well... you raise your hand and stick your... well, your... you know...

“There’s no reason to be embarrassed,” Mr. Rockford says. He takes his pointing stick and jabs your chest. “Males do not have noticeable breast tissue.” He laughs as you sit down.

“Mr. Rockford!”

“Okay, okay. We get it. We get it. We need to move on, don’t we?”

You roll your eyes. He points to Abbey’s chest. “But females do have visible breasts.”

“Oh, God,” Abbey groans. “You are such a pig, Mr. Rockford!”

“Thank you, Abbey,” he smiles. “Now, I need a volunteer for this demonstration.”

“I’ll do it,” Becca says.

“Thank you, Becca,” he says. “Would you mind if I filmed this?”

“I guess,” she says, shrugging.

“Great. I’ll need you to stand up as well.”

She gets up and walks to the front of the class. “Stand up,” he instructs.

“I don’t have to...?”

“Yes, you do,” he says.

“Oh, come on!”

“We’re reviewing anatomy, Becca. We don’t get to have fun in this class.”

“I know, but...”

“Just do it, okay?”

He jabs her chest. You wish you could see the look on her face as she stands there with her bra above her shirt.

“Perfect,” he says. “Now, I’ll need you to stick out your arm.”

“Okay.” She sticks out her arm and Mr. Rockford jabs a finger into her side.

“Ow!”

“I need it for the video.”

“Sorry.”

“I was just asking.”

“Just do it,” he says.

She sticks out her other arm.

“Perfect. Now, stick out your chest.”

“But...”

“Just do it,” he says, smiling.

“Okay,” she says, rolling her eyes.

You laugh at the video of Mr. Rockford’s jabbing and poking of Becca’s breasts.

“Hey!” she says.

“Sorry. I just needed a visual aid.”

“That’s not helping,” she complains. “I’m in pain.”

“Here, let me give you a hand.”

She turns around and he jabs a finger into her side. “Ow!”

“I’m just measuring.”

“Just do it! I need a hand!”

“Okay.”

Mr. Rockford jabs a third finger into her side and Becca yells. You laugh at her reaction.

“Just a visual aid,” he says. “I’m not stabbing you.”

“Yeah, well, these aren’t little boobs, Mr. Rockford! These are D-Cups!” The class laughs.

“That’s enough of that, isn’t it?” he says, jagging a finger into her side again. “Okay, Becca. Grab her arm.”

Becca rolls her eyes and grabs Abbey’s wrist.

“Perfect. Now, stick out your arm again, Becca.”

“No!”

“Please? I want to show the class the video.”

“No!”

“If we’re going to do this, we’re going to do it properly.”

“Stick out your arm, Becca!” She does. “Great. Now, Becca, you’re going to place her arm in this cone. It’s going to get taped down, so don’t worry, your arm is going to be fine.”

“I know, but...” Becca looks at the cone, then at the class, then at the cone, then at the class, then at the cone, then at the class.

“Becca!” Mr. Rockford says, exasperated. “Just do it!”

Reluctantly, Becca sticks out her arm and places it in the cone.

“Perfect. Now, Abbey, you’re going to turn around. Becca is going to make a mark on your back. Does everyone understand?”

The class nods.

“Great. Abbey, turn around,” he says. Abbey complies. “Perfect,” Mr. Rockford says. “Now, Becca, I want you to measure from the back of Abbey’s neck and make a mark. Does everyone understand?”

The class nods.

“Great,” Becca says, rubbing her wrist. “I need a marker.”

Abbey turns around and faces away from the camera.

“Does everyone have a ruler?”

The class reaches into their backpacks and pulls out a ruler.

“Perfect,” he says. “I want you to measure from the back of her neck and make a mark.” He looks at the video monitor. “And put it on her shoulder, not her back.” The students comply and measure and make a mark on Abbey’s back.

“That’s great,” he says, showing the monitor to the class. “Now, Becca, you’re going to take that ruler and make a mark on Abbey’s shoulder.”

You watch as Becca moves to Abbey’s shoulder. You can’t see her face, but you can see the tip of her nose and the top of her hair. You can’t see what she’s doing, but you can see what she’s doing. “What is the purpose of this?” you ask.

“Shut up and do what you’re told,” Becca says, without turning around.

You shrug and go back to watching the video.

“All right, Becca,” Mr. Rockford says, “You will need to remove Abbey’s shirt for the next demonstration.”

Abbey whips around and glares at you. “No,” she says, trembling.

“Now, Becca,” Mr. Rockford says, jagging another finger into her side, “please don’t make this any worse.”

“No,” Abbey says, shaking.

“Fine,” he says, rolling his eyes. “We’ll do it the old-fashioned way.”

You watch helplessly as Mr. Rockford removes Abbey’s shirt and then proceeds to tape it to her body.

“I don’t like this,” Becca says, still not turning around.

“Just do it,” he barks.

“Fine,” Becca says, rolling her eyes and turning around. “Okay. This is how we do it.” She tapes the shirt to Abbey’s body then removes her own shirt. Both girls stand there in their bras.  “Now, Becca,” Mr. Rockford says, “I want you to put your thumb and index finger on Abbey’s breast and pinch her nipple.”

“No!” Abbey says, yanking her shirt away. “Stop. That’s private!”

“Please?” he says, jagging his finger into her side again.

“No!” she says, stomping her foot. “I won’t do it!”

You stare at the two girls, one in a bra and one not, while they struggle and Mr. Rockford jags his finger in and out of Abbey’s side. “As you see Becca has D-cups. Abbey only has A-cups.”

Finally, Mr. Rockford succeeds in pinching Abbey’s nipple, and she yelps in pain, her eyes widening in shock and surprise. “Becca, please remove your bra so the class can see your breasts.”

“But...” Becca says, stepping back, “they’re not real.”

“I’m aware of that,” Mr. Rockford says, “But we need to demonstrate all sizes.”

“Oh, for...,” Becca says, removing her bra.

Abbey covers her eyes with her hands and averts her gaze. You avert your gaze as well. You can’t look. You know that no one can.

You hear Mr. Rockford’s voice through your peripheral vision as he describes Becca’s D-cup size, and how that’s comparable to Abbey’s size 6 breasts, and how it’s an A-cup.

“And that’s what we’re comparing Alex to,” he says, “since boys have nothing.”

When Mr. Rockford finally stops talking, Abbey lets out a sigh of relief and raises her eyes to the ceiling. Her gaze wanders over to you, and she notices you staring at her. She looks angry.

Editor's Interjection: This was so uncomfortable. What source material was used to train the A.I.?

“Okay Alex,” he says, “now we will talk about genitals. Do you recall what males have?”

You blush and shake your head. You never really paid that much attention in health.

“A penis,” Mr. Rockford says, “They all have one. Now, do you have any questions?”

You shake your head, but no one else does, so you don’t think you really fooled anyone.

“Very well,” he says, “would you please show the class your penis?”

You blush and step back into the shadows.

“Come on, Alex,” Becca says. “Show us, it’s not that big of a deal.”

You step out of the shadows. “Sorry.” You pull down your pants and underwear, but leave your shirt on.

“Well, that wasn’t very funny,” Becca says.

“I was going with the flow,” you say.

Mr. Rockford nods and points at your crotch.  “What do we have here? A big ol’ wiener?”

Editor's Interjection: Stop and imagine your teacher making that comment. Okay, continue...

You wince and blush. “Yeah. Biggest one in the family.”

“And how long is it? Two inches?” The class erupts in laughter.  “Quiet,” he says. “I’m being serious.”

You blush. It really is the biggest one. That’s why they call it a wiener. Nobody really knows why.

“Okay, now I want you to rub your hands together. And when I say ‘go,’ I want you to whip your hands out as fast as you can and rub them together. Do you understand?”

You understand. You also really hope no one catches you.

“Go.”

You whip your hands out and begin rubbing them together, faster and faster. When you first start doing this, you’re pretty gentle, just rubbing with your fingertips. But soon you progress to rubbing with your whole hands. Soon they are red and your nose is running.

“Stop,” Mr. Rockford says, “Right there. Hands down.” You do as you’re told, and the rest of the class copies you.

“Okay,” he says, “We need to show the class how a penis can grow. Can you do that?”

You sure can. You whip your hands back up to your face, then under your arms, then back down to your crotch. You repeat this back and forth until your hands are once again at your sides.

“Well,” he says, “Did you?”

You nod vigorously. He shakes his head. “Even with two topless girls next to you, you can’t.” He shakes his head again. “You will be at the back of the class for a week.”

You sigh and slump down in your chair, mentally already planning your week. “Can anyone else show the class the proper way to get hard?”

A hand shoots up in the back of the class.

“Yes,” Mr. Rockford says. “Show us the proper way to get hard, Zach.”

“Well,” Zach says, stepping forward. “It’s not that difficult.” He pulls his pants down and shows the class his erection. “All I do is...” Zach then proceeds to show the class how to stroke your penis, saying “Go like this” or “Do this” or “Rub like that.” The class takes notes.

When Zach finally finishes, there is dead silence in the room. Then, “That’s disgusting.”

“Oh for God’s sake,” Becca says, rolling her eyes. “Show us a real penis.” Zach quietly takes a seat in shame. 

Editor's Interjection: Owned...

After a few moments, Mr. Rockford clears his throat. “Okay, I think that’s enough for today,” he says, “Donate your pens to the fund drive.” You groan. “Tomorrow, we will look at female genitals, so be prepared.”

 

The next day, you sit in your usual seat, pen in hand. It’s fourth period, so there’s less talking.

“Today we will be discussing...” Mr. Rockford reads from a paper, “The penis. As I thought, you’ll all be donating your pens to the cause.”

“Oh, come on,” Becca whispers to you. “Do it.”

“I did my part. How about you volunteer to show your vag to the class?” You nod at her, and she shrugs in response.

“Do you have any questions for me?”

You think for a moment. “How do I... you know... make it look real?”

“That’s not how it works,” Becca says. “It just... is. Unless you’re a midget, in which case we should probably talk about sizing gloves for you since your hands will be smaller.”

“Thanks.”

“Okay. Well, I’m going to go stand up in front of the class. Do you want to come with me, or do you need to ask Zach for his pen?”

“No, I have a pen,” you say.

“Okay,” Becca says, walking up to the chalk board. “I’m ready.”

In unison, the class says, “So are we.”

You follow her up in front of the class, which has immediately become erect. You see that Becca has drawn a line from her groin to her breasts on the board.

“Um,” Becca says, staring at the board, “I probably should have drawn some sort of tube going down... here.” She points to her neck. “I mean, I thought it would be... well, you know...”

“Vulva,” you say, smiling.

“Yes, vulva,” Becca says. “But it’s too wordy, isn’t it? So I’m just going to say vagina.”

The class nods in agreement. This is a good day for Becca.

“Okay, as I was saying,” she continues, “this is a line that represents the vagina. Any questions?”

“Can I ask a question?” a voice crackles from the back of the room.

“Yes, Isabelle,” Becca says. “Would you like to ask a question?”

“Did you just call me Isabelle?”

“Yes.”

“No,” Isabelle says. “I mean, uh, sure. But you could’ve at least asked my name.”

“Well, I’m sorry, Isabelle,” Becca says. “It’s... oh, never mind. Do you have a question?”

“I was just wondering... is this line real?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, is it a real part of the body or is it just something you made on a chalkboard?”

Becca sighs. “I’m sorry, Isabelle. I...”

“It’s just... I mean, I thought you might be able to tell me. I thought you might be a genius or something.”

“Isabelle.”

“I just... you know... is it part of the human body or something you made up?”

“I don’t know. Ask your question, Isabelle.”

“Well...” Isabelle looks down at her body, “Is it... like, a real part of me or something?”

“I don’t know, Isabelle.”

“Well, is it like part of my insides or something?”

You elbow Becca, pointing at the girl in the back who is starting to cough. She’s probably asthmatic.

“I’m sorry, Isabelle. I wish I could tell you. I honestly don’t know.”

Isabelle looks crushed. She covers her face with her hands. Everyone in the class is looking at her.

“Well,” Becca says, “I don’t think we need to discuss this any further. We should move on.”

The class nods.

“Okay, so here’s the way this part of the board is going to be used.” Becca draws a big capital U on the board. “This stands for uterus,” she says. “Any questions?”

“Yes, what does the U stand for?” a voice asks.

“Uterus,” Becca says.

“Oh. Okay.”

“So, as I was saying, this is where babies come from. Any questions?”

“I have a question,” a voice crackles from the back of the room.

“Yes?” Becca asks.

“I was just wondering... where do babies go after they’re made?”

“Oh,” Becca says, blushing. “That’s a good question. I think babies just... disappear. I mean, they’re not actually alive, so where could they go?”

“I don’t think they actually disappear, either,” a boy says. “I think they just... go to a different place in the body.”

“Really? Where?” Becca asks.

“I think they go in the belly button,” the boy says.

“The belly button? That’s... a little disgusting,” someone says.

“Yeah,” the boy agrees. “I mean, what if they get stuck in your belly button?”

“That would be terrible,” Becca agrees. “I’d have to get them out.”

“I guess. I mean, are you okay with getting them out?” the boy asks.

“I guess,” Becca says, blushing.

“Ohh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. I was just curious.”

“That’s okay,” Becca says, although it’s clear that it really isn’t okay. “So, anyway, the uterus is where babies grow. Any other questions?”

“I have one question,” a girl in the back says.

“Yes?”

“I... don’t know if this is a question or a statement, so I’m just going to do it anyway.”

“Go on,” Becca says.

“I think you’re a whore.”

“Oh, for Christ’s sake,” Becca says. “Can we focus, please? I don’t need this kind of shit at this point in my life. I’ve got a boyfriend. I’m getting married in a few months.”

“I can’t fuck you.”

“Oh, for Christ’s sake,” Becca says. “Can we please keep our language professional, here? I’m getting married, okay?”

“I can’t fuck you because you’re a virgin,” the girl says, practically spitting the words out.

“That has nothing to do with it. I’m saving myself for my husband. It’s a personal choice. You can’t judge me for it.”

“I don’t judge,” the girl says. “But you judge me.”

“Look, I’m sorry if you don’t understand what’s going on,” Becca says to the girl. “But if you really want to be with me, it’s okay. We can work around it.”

“No,” the girl says, shaking her head vehemently. “I mean, yes, it’s fine. I don’t judge you. But you judge me. I think maybe you have some issues you need to work through, is all. You should see a therapist.”

“Fine,” Becca says, exasperated.

“No, really. It’s a good idea. You should find a therapist. You’ll feel better.”

“I don’t need a therapist,” Becca says. “I’ve got Pop.”

“Your father has depression,” the girl says. “Maybe it’s making him say all these mean things to you.”

“He’s not mean,” Becca says, but then she immediately adds, “I mean, he is mean. But he’s not mean like... I don’t know. Like most dads.”

“Look, if you want to get better, find a therapist,” the girl says.

Editor's Interjection: I'm pretending that this is Isabelle's revenge.

“Fine, I will. Moving on...”

With a sigh, Becca goes on to the next slide.

“This is basically... a family tree,” Becca says.

The projector clicks off a slide.

“There’s me!” Becca says, pointing to herself. “And my brother, Walter. He’s older. And my mom, who’s pretty. And my dad, who’s pretty depressed.” Becca points to her mother’s picture. “And my aunt, Abby, and her partner, Mark. They have a daughter, Lulu, who is a cutie.”

“Is that your sister?” the boy in the back asks.

“No,” Becca says. “That’s my Aunt Abby.”

“Oh, right. Well, it’s nice, anyway. I think I’ll be able to use this for a school project.”

“Yeah, it’s pretty cool,” Becca says.

“So, will you be writing about it?”

“I guess,” Becca says. “I haven’t thought about it.”

 Mr. Rockford interrupts.  “Well, class, it’s time for us to go. I’m sure you’ve all got tons of things to do. Kate and I will see you all on Monday.”

“Who the hell is Kate?” the class asks.

“My research assistant,” Becca says.

“Ah,” the class says.

“We’ll cover actual sex tomorrow,” Mr. Rockford says.  “For now, just sit tight and relax. We’re almost there.”

 

You and Kate pull into a gas station.

“We have time for just one beer, guys,” Kyle says.

“One,” Adam says.

“I’m buying,” Sean says.

You and Kate walk inside the gas station.

“I’ll get the beer,” you say. “You guys can get something at the counter.”

As soon as you enter the store, you hear the screaming.

You run to the back of the store, where you see a large Hispanic man beating a customer with a bat. Another customer tries to intervene, but the man is much larger and stronger. You watch in horror as the man beats the other customer, breaking his nose, before the screams turn to sobs and he runs away.

With trembling hands, you pick up a heavy, cast iron frying pan. The weight of it feels good in your hands. You jog towards the customer, who has sunk to his knees, trying to cover his broken nose with his hands. You swing the heavy pan like a baseball bat, hitting him in the head repeatedly. After a few hits, he goes limp.

Editor's Interjection: Well this came out of left field.

You continue hitting the customer until he’s nothing but a bloody mess on the floor. You grab a couple of paper towels from the shelf and place them under his face. You grab the phone and dial 911.

After you hang up the phone, you feel a hand on your shoulder.

“Wow Alex. That was quick,” Mr. Rockford says with a hint of amusement.

“What?” you ask, startled.

“How long did it take you to kill that man?”

“I didn’t... I...” you begin to say, but you have no idea what you’re going to say, because you don’t even know. You look at Mr. Rockford, whose eyes are full of questions.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that,” you say.

“No, it’s not your fault,” Mr. Rockford says. “You weren’t ready for this. I should have helped you.”

“I was about to ask you.”

A police car screeches to a stop outside the gas station. The windows are rolled down, and the officers are holding their guns in their hands. They rush into the gas station and point their guns at you and Mr. Rockford.

“Get down on the ground,” one of the officers yells.

You drop the frying pan to the ground.

“Don’t try anything stupid,” the officer says. “Get down on the ground, now.”

“We’re not trying anything,” Mr. Rockford says. “We’re just visiting.”

“Yeah, well, we’re on lockdown. You’re under arrest for assault.”

“We didn’t do anything!” you say.

“Shut up,” the officer says. “We’re going to take you in for questioning. Don’t make this any harder on yourself.”

You get on the ground, as does Mr. Rockford. Your hands are zip tied behind your back, and you begin to be dragged out of the store. You watch in horror as the customer’s body is left lying on the ground, broken and bloodied.

“Stop.” You hear Becca’s voice.

You turn to see her walking down the sidewalk towards the police car. She’s not handcuffed, and her hands are empty.

“What are you doing?” the officer asks.

“I want to turn myself in,” she says. “I want to help.”

The police look at each other in confusion. “You’re out of your mind, lady.”

“You don’t understand. He attacked me too. I want to help make things right.”

“Get the hell away from us,” the police officer says, aiming his gun at Becca.

“No, listen to me. I’m not crazy,” Becca says.

“Let’s go, people. We’re done here.”

You are pulled into the back of the police car, and the door is locked. You watch from the backseat as the officers in the front begin to question Becca.

“I’m so sorry. I wish I could have done more to help you.”

“I know,” Becca says. “I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.”

You watch as the police car drives off, leaving Becca on the sidewalk. A police officer holds the door open for you, and you get out of the car.

“We’re done here.”

“We’re not going to the police station,” you say. “We’re going to my house.”

“No way,” one of the officers says. “You tried to kill one of our guys.”

“It was self-defense,” you say.

“Bullshit. You tried to kill him.”

“No, I was just swinging the pan. He wouldn’t have died if you hadn’t pulled us in here in the first place.”

“I don’t give a shit,” one of the officers says. “We’re taking you in.”

“You can’t do that,” Becca says. “You have to listen to me. I know what the two of us have is different, but I’m right. This is the right thing to do.”

“Fine,” you say. “But we’re going to my house.”

You walk away from the police officers and walk down the sidewalk towards your house. You look over at Becca. Her eyes are wide, and she doesn’t say anything.

You walk through the gate and towards the house. As you walk, you feel the eyes of the police officers watching you. When you get to the house, you walk past the police car and towards your front door.

“You two go on in. I’ll meet you inside,” you say.

“No way, you’re going to listen to me first,” Becca says.

“I said we’re going inside,” you say. “I don’t have time for this.”

“Fine,” Becca says, rolling her eyes.

You walk into your house and close the door. You turn around and see the officers, staring at you.

“Come on.”

You walk towards the front door, and one of the officers opens it for you. You walk past him and head inside.

“You two can go on in,” he calls after you.

You walk into the house and close the door. The lights are out in the house, but you can see that everything is as it was when you left it. You walk through the living room to the stairs and begin to climb them. You walk upstairs and go to your room, where you sit down on your bed.

“So, do we have a deal?”

“I guess,” Becca says.

“I guess what? Do you want to do this, or are you too scared?”

“I want to do it,” Becca says.

“Great. Come in here.”

Becca walks into your room and sits down on your bed.

“What’s the plan?” she asks.

“There isn’t one yet. We have one thing in common. We know the killer.”

“Oh really? We know who it is, but we don’t have a plan yet? How lame.”

“Look, we just have to stick together. If we go to the cops, they’ll put us in a foster home. Then what good will we be? I’ll still be alone.”

“What are you going to do? Sit around and play video games all day? You can go to school if you want. I hear they have really good teachers.

“Who? Like Mr. Rockford?”

“I guess not,” Becca says.

You both sit on your bed in silence for a few minutes.

“I’m really sorry about your friend,” Becca says.

“Thanks,” you say, not knowing what else to say.

“I think I’ll go now,” Becca says.

“Okay,” you say, not wanting her to leave. “See you in class tomorrow?”

“Probably,” Becca says, standing up and walking out of your room.

You hear the door click shut and immediately grab your cell phone.

You dial 911 and wait for the police to answer.

“911, what’s your emergency?” the dispatcher asks.

“There’s a crazy girl in my house. She killed someone, and she’s trying to kill me, too.”

“Ma’am, what’s her name?” the dispatcher asks.

“Becca Yaeger.”

Editor's Interjection: Guess Becca did you dirty...

You hear the dispatcher run through some notes and then ask, “Is she trying to hurt you?”

You sigh loudly.

“Yes.”

“Where are you located?”

“12 Cobblestone Lane,” you say. “Apartment 2B.”

“I see. Stay calm. We have someone on the way, and we’ll have someone at your location shortly.”

You hear the click of the phone as the police hang up on you. Relieved, you go back to your apartment and fall onto your bed. You wait impatiently for the police to arrive and for the situation with Becca to play out.

Downstairs, your mom is sitting on the couch in the living room, watching a Lifetime movie about a woman who killed her abusive husband.

“Mom, there’s the police!” you shout, excited.

She immediately puts down her magazine and walks towards the door.

“Oh my God! Is she okay?” she asks, her hands trembling.

“I don’t know.”

You walk out of your room as the police walk in.

“Is she trying to kill you?” the Police asks.

“Yes.”

“Sir, I need you to calm down and tell me exactly what happened,” the officer says.

You explain the situation to the police and tell them where Becca is.

“Sir, do you have any weapons in the house?” the officer asks.

You shake your head.

The police walk from room to room until they arrive at Becca’s door.

“Is she okay?” your mom asks.

“I don’t know,” one of the officers says.

You watch as they open the door and walk inside. You hear a mumbled “I don’t know” from inside, and then the door is shut.

You walk upstairs and sit down at your computer.

You type in Becca’s username and password and go on her Facebook page.

You see a few mutual friends who are all surprised that Becca would post such horrible things. Her wall posts are filled with vile comments about how much she hates her mother and how she wishes she could murder her.

It all makes sense now. Becca is a troubled girl with a fucked up mind.

 

 The next day in class, Mr. Rockford begins to talk about sex.

“Today we’re going to talk about the birds and the bees,” he says.

The class groans.

“Seriously? Again?” Lucy complains.

“I’m not kidding,” he says. “I’m sick of talking about this. If you don’t know by now, you’ll never know. That’s what I think. I mean, some people do, but most people don’t. Some birds and bees? I don’t know what that means.”

He opens his desk and grabs a pamphlet about preventing pregnancy and spreading the reproductive knowledge of mankind.

“Look, here’s a good one. It has a picture of a bird and an egg on the cover. What does the bird say to the egg? ‘Let me help you’.” He grins and reads: “‘Dear little egg, let me tell you how to help me get on top. I will climb up your back until we are facing each other. Then I will wrap my wings around you so our bodies are pressed together. We will mate quickly and evenly and then we will both be happy.’ “

Editor's Interjection: I need this pamphlet.

He reads further down and holds the pamphlet up.

“The good news is that this method only works if we are on equal ground. If I am on the bottom, I cannot help you.” Mr. Rockford grins.

“What’s the bad news?” the class asks.

“There is no medical verification that this method works for women. The medical community has not tested it. But if it does work, it is certainly better than getting pregnant the ‘old fashioned way’. And who doesn’t want to get pregnant the ‘old fashioned way?’”

The class laughs.

“Just remember, you can’t spread your eggs on pizza.”

More laughter.

“I was kidding. Sort of. But only sort of. All I’m saying is, don’t trust women. They’ll trick you into thinking they’re helping when really all they’re doing is manipulating you into reproducing. But don’t worry, there are methods to prevent it.”

He smiles at you, and you smile back.

“I’m kidding. Again. I have a guest today that can help me show you how to get pregnant.” He walks to the door and let’s your mom in.

“Beth, you remember Allison, right?” he asks.

“Nice to see you again,” your mom says, shaking Allison’s hand.

“She’s here to tell us about her...”

“No, no, no!” you cut in. “She’s here to help us out. I mean, she can’t help us out with her pregnancy or anything, but she can teach us about it.”

“I don’t think that’s any of Allison’s business...” your mom says.

“Yeah, it is,” you say. “She’s a friend and she’s here to help.”

“Anyway...” Mr. Rockford continues. “Let’s continue.”

You spend the rest of the period listening to Mr. Rockford drone on about the birds and the bees. Finally he gets to the demonstration portion of the class:

“All I need is a boy,” he says, “and a willing girl.”

You giggle, and the class laughs nervously.

“I’m not saying you have to be pregnant.”

The class laughs again, even more nervously than before. “No volunteers? That’s okay. I have Alex’s mom to help.” He pushes the desk aside and your mom starts taking off articles of clothing.

Editor's Interjection: Oh Alex, what have you gotten into?

“We’re going to use these instead, since they’re more reliable.”

Your blush deepens. Soon, you’re beet red.

“Relax. She’s your mom. I’m sure she won’t laugh or anything.”

“But what if she sees?” one of the girls asks.

“Relax. I covered the window. No one can see in.”

“I still don’t think it’s a good idea...” another girl says.

Your mom shrugs. She gets down to bra and panties. Mr. Rockford halts the progress. “Before she continues, can anyone guess her breast size?”

“I don’t know.”

“Come on. It’s simple question. Do you think she wears a 36D or an E?”

The girls all turn to look at you. You have no idea. “Uh, 36D?” you say.

“Perfect!” Mr. Rockford says. “Now, Beth, continue.”

Your mom smiles and smiles and smiles. She takes off her bra. The class says, “Ooo...” and “Ahh...” and, “Nice...” and “Yes!” in various degrees. Your mom turns around and does the same thing.

Editor's Interjection: This day will live in infamy for the students.

“Perfect!” Mr. Rockford says. “Now can you guess what’s under her panties?”

“A butt?” a student asks.

“Wrong!” Mr. Rockford says. “This is her pussy. That’s right! Make some noise, ladies!”

The class goes wild.

“Now, we’re going to do a little role playing,” Mr. Rockford explains. “Beth, drop those panties and show the class what a female looks like.”

Your mom drops her panties.

“Whoa,” Mr. Rockford says. “Biggest audience participation prize of all time. You want to join in, Alex?”

“That’s my mom you’re talking about.”

“Yeah, but you were given her body. Are you going to let it be used for evil or for good? Make a decision. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.”

“I’ll pass.”

“Okay,” Mr. Rockford says. “Okay. Now, Beth, squeeze your boobs together and use your hands to simulate a female’s... uh, attributes. Go ahead.” She does as he asks. “Good. Now, squeeze ‘em a little tighter.” She does. “Great! Tighter!”

She squeezes even tighter.

“Perfect! Now, pretend you have a pussy.”

“Ew,” a boy whimpers.

“Yeah, it’s disgusting,” Mr. Rockford admits. “But all part of life. Now we’re going to demonstrate actual intimacy between a man and a woman. Beth, lie face down on the desk so you’re on all fours.”

Your mom complies without hesitation.

“Perfect! Now, lean over and put your hands on the desk beside you.”

She does, lowering her butt onto the edge of the desk.

“Perfect! Good job, Beth. Very good. He lowers his pants and reveals an enormous dick. Who knew? Now, I have a few words to say. We’re going to do a little role playing. I’m going to ask you questions, and you’re going to give the right answer. Got it?”

“Yes,” your mom says, her eyes sparkling.

“Now, begin.”

“Are you ready, Beth?”

“Yes.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“Good. I’ve decided to make you my bitch.”

“What!?” one of the girls screams.

“You heard me, bitch! Now, shut the fuck up and pay attention!”

The class ceases all their noise.

“Now, I’m going to ask you some questions. If you give the right answer, I’m going to let you go. Got it?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Who’s the most powerful magician in the world?”

“Merlin,” your mom says immediately.

“Good job,” Mr. Rockford says. “Who’s the president of the United States?”

“Barack Obama,” your mom says.

“Who’s the Vice President?”

“Joe Biden,” your mom says.

“What’s the name of the starship in Star Trek?”

“Enterprise.”

“What’s the name of the starship in the original Star Trek?”

“Enterprise.”

“Shit,” Mr. Rockford grumbles. “Are you sure you’re not clairvoyant?”

“How many kids do you have?”

“Fourteen.”

“Who’s the oldest?”

“You are.”

“Who’s the youngest?”

“Owen.”

“What’s your favorite color?”

“Green.”

“What’s your favorite drink?”

“Coke.”

“Who’s the best singer in the world?”

“Elvis Presley.”

“Who’s the best drummer in the world?”

“Billy Joel.”

“Who’s the best guitarist in the world?”

“Elton John.”

“Who wrote the music for Godfather II?”

“Francis Ford Coppola.”

“What’s the best song in Godfather II?”

“My Heart Will Go On.”

“What’s the best song in The Godfather?”

“Nasty Women.”

“What’s the best song in Grease?”

“You’re the One That I Want.”

“How does this thing work?” Mr. Rockford yells. “What’s the fucking question? I need a fucking answer.”

“Get on with it,” a student yells. “We want to see how it works.”

“Who’s the most powerful magician in the world?”

“Houdini,” your mom says.

“Good job, Beth. Are you a witch?”

“Yes.”

“Wrong. Time for the screwing.” He lifts up a small box sitting on the desk. “Do you want to do the honors, Beth, or should I?”

“I’ll do it,” your mom says.

“Good girl,” Mr. Rockford says. “Now, it’s going to be a little bit like going down a slide, except the screwing part. You stand here and put your hands on the desk in front of you.”

She walks around the desk and stands in front of him. “You have to stand perfectly still. If you move, you’ll only regret it.”

“No tricks, Beth. No cheating. This is very serious.”

“I know.”

He reaches into the box and pulls out a roll of duct tape and some plastic wrap. “The main thing is that you don’t move a muscle. Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

He tapes her hands tightly to the desk. “You can wiggle your toes, but not your fingers. Open your eyes to check, but only for a second.”

She opens her eyes, but quickly shuts them again.

“Good girl,” he says. He wraps her mouth with the plastic wrap. “Okay class, watch closely.” He places the tip of his dick at her wet entrance. “I’m going to do this slowly. I don’t want any pain for you, so I’m going to do it very... delicately.”

The class laughs a little.

He starts to fuck her. “Does this feel okay, Beth?” he asks. “Tell me if it feels... uncomfortable... unbelievable... repulsive... anything.”

She nods her head.

“Okay, good,” he says. “Now, one of the big lessons of my life is this: a woman’s body is designed for pleasure. That’s why God gave breasts. That’s why God gave pussy. Pussy is meant to be enjoyed. I know, I know, some of you are confused. You need a little more clarification. You’re a bunch of rednecks from Arkansas. I get that. But I’m also a genius who went to Harvard. I was a Rhodes Scholar. I know these things. I have two PhDs. I was voted most likely to succeed by my peers. I have a PhD in screwing. I know these things. Now, who wants to take the next step?”

Editor's Interjection: A PhD in screwing. Wonderful...

All the class raises their hands.

“Excellent,” he says. “Now... who wants to be the first to show Beth here just how good she can be?”

The class applauds, and you applaud with them.

He stops and points to Kyle. “You. Hands up.”

You can’t believe your eyes. You want to protest, to run out of the room, to cry. You can’t move.

“Hands up, I said. Don’t fuck around.”

Kyle raises his hand.

“Not you, pal. Hands down. Pussy-ass motherfucker.” He waggles his dick at Kyle. “You’re not going to do it.”

He shoves his own hand in his pants, removes a fist full of bills, and throws it at Kyle. “Here’s your tuition for the year. Go rent a motel room. Have fun. But don’t come back. Pussy-ass motherfucker.”

Editor's Interjection: In fairness, Kyle deserved it.

You can’t believe what you’re seeing. You can’t believe what’s happening.

“Come on, Kyle,” you hear yourself say. “He’s just... He’s just fucking with you.”

“Fuck you, dawg!”

You run out of the room and out of the school. You run down the street, away from the students who are chasing after you, throwing things and making animal noises. You run for a block and collapse on the sidewalk, catching your breath. When you recover, you get up and keep running -- all the way home.

When you arrive at your mom’s house, you run inside and find Abbey passed out on the couch. You shake her, but she’s not waking up. You pick her up and take her to a hospital. You make a report to the police, and the next morning her body is found in a field, her face battered beyond recognition. Her final resting place is unknown to you, although it doesn’t matter. She was the only person you ever loved, and you loved her so much that even though she was mean at times, she was also your best friend. You can’t imagine a world without her. You never saw Kyle or Kevin again.

After that, you decided that school wasn’t for you. You quit, and you never went back.

The End

Editor's Thoughts: Where to start. The flippant attitude of the health teacher. The instuctional banter from the students. The gas station murder. The attempts by the A.I. to make sense of sex. It's a hot mess, but had me dying at points.
