Teacher's Pet I
As I peered out my cabin window of the 747 I could see the Manhattan
Skyline and the Statue of Liberty. The blue sea had now turned into
gigantic skyscrapers and concrete a nice change from looking at the
ocean for the last 8 hours. Anything America had to offer me had to
better than the miserable foster parent lifestyle I had just left
behind back in London. Sitting aside of me was the British delegate
who was assigned to escort me to my new home. The Fasten your seatbelt
sign had just lit up as we prepared for our landing. "Hang on Lee,
sometimes these landings are a little rough!"
"Yes Mr Donaldson what ever you say!" 'Don't give me any of your sass
young man, now grip the arm rest tight!" The landing was a perfect one
with very little bumps as Mr. Donaldson and I chatted about my new
life I was about to embark on. He checked through all his paperwork
and prepared us to meet with the customs officials when we departed
from the plane.
After a good 30 minute delay we were finally given the green light to
leave the plane. "Come on kid lets get over to customs and get this
red tape Bullshit over with." We stood in line to be scanned as well
as having our passport and documents checked. Once again the delays
were long and after another hour or so everything was approved by the
security people and we walked into the country free to do what ever we
wanted.
We grabbed a bite to eat and Mr. Donaldson phoned the proper people
who I would be staying with. "Come on kid finish up that burger, your
going to be meeting some new people in a couple of minutes."
"Are these the people I will be staying with Mr. Donaldson?"
"Yes, I just talked with Mrs.Wilkins and she is already in the
airport. I swallowed down the last of my burger as a middle aged woman
walked into the canteen and over to our table. "Well you must be Lee,
it is so nice to meet you in person."
"Thank you Mrs.Wilkins."
"And you must be Mr. Donaldson." The two of them shook hands as Mrs.
Wilkins placed her briefcase on the table. "I thought I was to meet
with the superintendant as well, Mrs. Wilkins?"
"Unfortunatly she had a family emergency, so I was delegated to
complete the transfer process. I have brought all the paperwork and it
is all signed with her signatures. "This is very odd, I have never
made a trasfer like this before are you sure this is legal?"
"Yes of course, Mrs. Taylor is one for following every regulation to a
T but she just couldn't make this meeting in person." Mrs. Wilkins
opened up briefcase and placed several documents in front of Mr.
Donaldson to sign. "I'm just not sure about this. Are you sure we
won't get in any trouble?"
"Absolutely, there is nothing wrong with this procedure." She handed
him the pen and he began to sign his name aside of the little
flourescent flags pasted on the forms. "Now just one more right here
and this will complete the transfer process." The final signature was
signed and I was now in the hands of Mrs. Wilkins. The papers were
shoved back into her briefcase and locked shut.
"Thank you so much for bringing Lee to us here in the states, I know
things will be a little difficult at first but I just know he will fit
in and love it here."
"Well, good luck Lee, I hope America is better to you than Britain
was."
"Thank you Mr. Donaldson, I hope so too." Everyone exchanged a hug and
we watched Mr. Donaldson disappear into the crowded airport. "Grab you
bag Lee and lets get out of here, I have a big afternoon set up for
us." We walked out of the airport and out into the busy parking lot.
The sound of jet engines filled the sky with numerous planes landing
and taking off. We got into Mrs. Wilkins fancy BMW and sped off into
the city.
"So tell me Lee, are you ready to start your life over?"
"Yes I am mam, I have been doing a lot of reading about the city and
I'm very Excited!"
"I'm so glad to hear that my boy. In fact, we'll be at the school very
soon and you can meet Mrs. Taylor, she is the Superintendent of the
school and in charge of all new admissions." For the next 30 minutes
we creeped along in the city traffic. I think we could've walked there
faster!
Mrs. Wilkins turned her car down a long lane away from most of the
city traffic. "Here we are Lee!" I looked up at the sign to the
entrance of the school. The sign read 'The Jenkins Academy'. I was a
little confused because I was told I would be attending the '16th
street school for boys.' "Mrs. Wilkins I think there is some mistake?
I thought I was going to a different school."
"Yes I know you were told you would be attending a school on 16th.
street, but at the last minute we found out that your test scores were
a little too low to meet their standards so we scrambled around to get
you in here. We thought it would be better to get you in here right
now rather than have you wait another 4 months in London to redo all
the paperwork." The school grounds were in imaculant condition. The
grass resembled that of a golf course and every shrub and tree was
trimmed to perfection!
We pulled up to the schools doors and I grabbed my bag. "This way Lee,
we will be going to my office for your orientation." The school was
empty because it was Sunday. The halls were filled with several
ornaments and pictures of hundreds of girls lined the walls. I
followed Mrs Wilkins into her office and took a seat . "Would you like
something to drink Lee?"
"Sure why not." Mrs. Wilkins pulled a can of soda from her little
cooler and handed it to me. She then picked up the phone and started
pushing the buttons. "Hi Carol, your new student is here for you to
meet." She put down the phone and sat back in her chair. "Just relax
Lee, she will be down here shortly." Mrs. Wilkins office was a mess,
there were boxes everywhere filled with books and personal items. She
continued to place items into the boxes as we waited for Mrs. Taylor
to arrive.
It wasn't long before the sound of high heel shoes clicking on the
tiled hallway floor got closer and closer. I placed my soda on the
table and prepared to greet her. A knock on the door broke the office
silence. "Come in Carol." Mrs. Taylor walked into the office and
looked right at me with her mouth wide open!"
"What the hell is this young boy doing here?"
"This is Lee, and he is your new student for the year."
"Is this some kinda joke Sandra!"
"Absolutely not my dear, he is enrolled into this institution for the
year and there is nothing you can do about it!" I was starting to get
an uneasy feeling as the two women exchanged pissed off looks at each
other. Mrs Taylor took a seat and crossed her legs.
"I think you have lost your mind Sandra, we can't have a young man in
this school, you know that!"
"Tough luck Carol, your signatures are all over the enrollment forms
approving his acceptance into the school." Mrs Wilkins walked over to
her and handed her the forms. Mrs. Taylor looked over all the forms
and shook her head in disbelief. "You bitch! You told me you had a
fine British girl coming to attend this school not a boy!" She threw
the forms all over the floor and stood up! "Temper, temper my dear,
you're setting a bad example for your new student!"
"How am I gonna explain this to the school board and the parents?
These high society parents spend $25,000 a year to send their
daughters here."
"That's not my problem Carol, because as of right now, I'm out of
here! Here is a copy of my resignation!" Mrs. Taylor took the letter
and then looked at Mrs. Wilkins. "I knew we should've fired your ass
last year instead of offering you this position."
"Oh yea, well maybe if you and Mrs. Jenkins had been a little more
thorough in you investigation last year you would've figured out I had
nothing to do with the missing tuition money. Now you can both suffer
the embarrassment of enrolling a boy into your all girl high society
snobatorium!"
"Get your things and get out of here! If I have my way, I will have
the police arrest you for fraud!"
"Good luck with that my dear! Your signature is on every one of those
enrollment forms and I was just obeying your orders in enrolling this
fine young boy! I cant wait to see the two of you squirm in front of
the board and all the parents." Mrs Wilkins grabbed two little boxes
and stormed out of the office! Tears fell from the eyes of Mrs Taylor
as she grabbed my hand and pulled me down the hall to her office.
"Please sit down Lee, I must appologize on what is going on here.
Please give me a moment while I settle down."
From her little china closet Mrs. Taylor grabbed a bottle of scotch
and filled a shot glass. She gulped down the scotch and wiped her eyes
with a tissue. Mrs. Taylor was built like a brick house with a perfect
hourglass figure and long sexy legs. She could've been a model in my
opinion! I nervously sat thinking about what I just gotten into and
being enrolled into an all girls school! Mrs. Taylor took one more
shot and then took several deep breaths. She picked up her phone and
nervously waited for the call to go through. "Penny, thank god I got a
hold of you! Get down to my office as fast as you can, we have a mojor
problem, ok I will see you in an hour!" She slammed the phone down and
sat back in her chair. "I just can't believe I'm looking at a boy in
that chair. You don't know this but no boy has ever enrolled here in
this school!"
"But this isn't my fault, I just don't know what's going on here."
"Calm down Lee, I am going to make some calls to try and get you to
another school and find out how Mrs. Wilkins tricked me into this
mess! "Please take a walk around the halls and rooms while I try and
get this resolved. Mrs. Taylor quickly began looking at all the paper
work for my transfer and then picked up the phone. I headed out of her
office and took my tour of the school.
The school was definitely designed for a feminine student! The walls
and rooms were filled with Lilac and pink colors along with lots of
flowery abstract designs. I just couldn't imagine being a student here
for a whole year. The main classroom was all done up with a womans
touch. Several fashion magazines filled the bookcases along with
autographed photos of several famous women who had graduated from the
school. There were only about 14 desks in the classroom and I thought
this was a little odd. When I returned to the main entrance I noticed
another car was parked in the lot and Mrs. Wilkins car was gone.
Before heading back to Mrs Taylor's office I took notice to all the
graduating class photos from the schools history. Each graduating
class had no more than 20 students and everyone who graduated was a
girl! The girls were smartly dressed in their school uniforms complete
with perfect hair, makeup and bright nail Polish.
As I made my way back to Mrs. Taylor's office I noticed her door was
shut and she was talking to another woman. "Penny what are we going to
do about this?"
"Well, it looks like Sandra has us nailed to the cross right now. I
mean, we can't send this boy back to London and we can't take his name
out of the registry because the money has allready been paid by the
international School fund!"
"There's gotta be way to get him in another school, what the hell are
the other girls going to say when they see a boy in the classroom!"
"Now calm down Carol, we'll think of something."
"That's easy for you to say, your signature isn't on the bottom of all
the enrollment forms!"
"When the school board hears about this I will be out of here! The
publicity for the school will be terrible!"
"What did your attorney tell you?"
"He was of no help at all! Since my name is on all the forms I will be
the one held responsible even though Sandra was the one who set this
all up!"
"Well, I guess we have no choice but to accept him into the school and
when the shit hits the fan we'll hope for the best! Just remmeber I
have a lot of pull around here." I listened to the women talk for
several more minutes before knocking on the door!
"Come on in Lee." I walked in and was quickly introduced to Mrs.
Jenkins. "Lee, I wnat you to meet your teacher Mrs. Jenkins." I
extended my hand as she looked me over from head to toe. Her eyes were
full of beauty and her smile was cover girl material. "Nice to meet
you Lee, please have a seat."
"Thank you mam."
"Well Lee I have to inform you that we have no other choice but to
have you start your classes here tomorrow."
"But this is a girls school mam."
"Yes it is a girls school but we did some checking into the schools
bylaws and no where does it say that the students have to be females.
Both women giggled a little as I felt the situation begin to tighten
around me. "There must be something that can be done for me?"
"I will be looking into a possible transfer for you next week but I
can't make any promises. For now you'll just have to try and fit in
until we come up with a solution."
"Well, where will I be staying when I'm not at school?" Mrs. Taylor
looked at Mrs. Jenkins and both women shrugged their shoulders. "I
guess you can stay with me until we figure out your home life
arrangements. Now do you have any questions for Mrs. Jenkins before
she leaves?"
"I guess not, I'm kinda shell shocked right now."
"That's ok Lee we will be spending plenty of time together over the
next several months. Feel free to ask me anything at any time." Mrs
Jenkins stood up and straightened out the skirt of her dress. "Well,
I'll see the two of you tomorrow." She grabbed her purse and clicked
her high heels out of the office. "Come on Lee, we have some shopping
to do before we head home." Mrs. Taylor grabbed her keys and I grabbed
my bag of clothes. We headed out to her car and cruised back out into
the city streets.
"Where are we going Mrs. Taylor?"
"We have to do some shopping for you so you can fit in tomorrow for
your first day. You see, we have a very strict uniform code that all
the girls must abide by. But with you we have to make some adjustments
because I don't think you will look too good in one of our cute
blouses and skirts."
"Oh yes, I agree 100%." For the next several hours Mrs. Taylor and I
visited store after store. She must have spent over $500 on several
pairs of slacks, ties and shirts. Unfortunatly the pink and purple
colors were the same as the schools colors and the uniforms the girls
would be wearing. Oh well, it was way better than wearing one of those
girly uniforms. Mrs. Taylor and I spent the rest of the afternoon
shopping for her at Bloomingdales and other womens stores. We had
several conversations about the school and what was expected from me
in order to make the grade and fit in. My nervousness was slowly
fading away by the end of the shopping trip. We loaded up he rtrunk
with lots of packages and began to depart the parking lot. "Ok Lee,
lets get you to your new home and get you unpacked and refreshed."
Mrs. Taylor loved to talk and all the way home she ranted on about how
Mrs. Wilkins had set her up. We pulled up to a small house on the east
side of the city. Although it was small, it was kept in very fine
shape just like the school. I pulled out my bag and helped Mrs. Taylor
with the shopping bags. "That's it Lee I think we can make this in
only one trip." She shut the trunk of her car and we walked up and
into the house. "You can set those things on the sofa sweetie." After
setting down the bags I looked at all the pictures hanging on the
walls and all the fancy feminine decorations that filled the room. She
had very expensive tastes and everything was in immaculate condition.
"Come on Lee, let me show you to your room." With bag in hand I
followed her up the staicase. "Here we go sweetie this is where you
will stay until we come up with some other arrangements for you." The
room was filled with very feminine decorations along with Pink and
pastel colors! "This is a room for a girl Mrs. Taylor, don't you have
another room for me?"
"I'm sorry sweetie but this is all I have so your gonna have to live
with it for a while." I walked over to the window and touched the
shiny Pink drapes. "This just isn't right, I should be in a boys room
and going to a school with boys in it!"
"Now settle down Lee! I understand you're a little upset right now,
but good things come to those who wait. In a couple of weeks we will
have you transfered and into another school and living quarters as
well. Just be a little patient." I threw my bag onto the Pink satin
sheets of the bed and began to open it. 'You can put your things in
the dresser and hang up any of your shirts in the closet. The Bathroom
is down the hall and to the right. I suggest you get a nice hot bath
and calm down before we eat our dinner. I have a lot of calls to make
over the next hour so take your time and do some reading while your
soaking in the tub." Mrs. Taylor walked back downstairs and I filled
the drawers with my clothes. I walked back over to the window and
looked out at the skyscrapers in the heart of the city. I was so lost
once again and my search for happiness was still not fulflilled.
As I made my way to the bathroom I could overhear Mrs. Taylor arguing
on the phone. I listened for a couple of minutes and then marched back
down the hall. Once inside the bathroom I turned on the spicket and
began to fill the tub. In Mrs. Taylor's magazine basket I noticed
several issues of womens magazines. There wasn't one issue relating to
anything masculine. I was forced to read a couple articles out of
Harper's Bazaar to help pass the time.
Dinner was served at 6:00 and Mrs. Taylor made a fantastic Fish-N-
Chips meal. It was just like the home cooking I was use to back in
London. We made more small talk while washing the dishes and she had
told me that most of the parents were informed of me by Mrs. Wilkins.
She had received several calls throughout the day from protesting
parents but there was nothing they could do to keep me from attending
school tomorrow. The final hours of the day was spent watching
television and at 9:00 Mrs. Taylor escorted me to my room and wished
me a good nights sleep. I could only hope that tomorrow would not be
filled with such drama as today.
My morning began when Mrs. Taylor knocked on my door at 6:00 am. "Lets
go Lee, it's time to get up and get dressed for breakfast. I slept
great all night and was quite refreshed for the start of the day. Mrs.
Taylor had laid out my new shirt,slacks and tie the night before and
in a matter of minutes I was all decked out in the vibrant school
colors. I slipped on my shoes and combed out my hair before heading
downstairs. At the breakfast table Mrs. Taylor had set up cereal bowls
and was in the process of making english muffins. "Well good morning
Lee! Don't you look handsom in your outfit. I bet the girls at school
will be asking for your phone number before the day is over."
"Stop it Mrs. Taylor! I never had a girlfriend before."
"Awe, that's so sad Lee! Here's your muffin sweetie." Mrs. Taylor was
all decked out in a stunning red knee length sweater dress with shiny
nylon covered legs and matching bright red High Heels. Her figure was
perfect in every way along with her hair and makeup. I guess being one
of the school's executives she had to look very professional in every
way.
By 7:00 we were out the door and on our way to school. I was getting
more and more nervous as we inched our way through the city traffic.
But by 7:30 we were driving into the parking lot and several parents
were waiting for Mrs. Taylor at her parking stall. "Ohhh this is not
looking good Lee. Please stay in the car until I talk with the
parents." Mrs. Taylor approched the parents and several of them
pointed to me sitting in the car. They all threatened Mrs. Taylor with
pulling their daughters out of the school if I continued to attend the
school. Mrs. Jenkins came out of the school to help calm the parents
down and difuse the situation. After a long 30 minutes the parents
left the school and I was allowed to go in. So much for not having as
much drama as yesterday!
The two women walked me over to Mrs. Taylor's office and sat me down.
Mrs. Taylor took out her whisky bottle and quickly took a shot. "Come
on Carol do you really need a belt this early in the morning?"
"Please Penny, I know what I need, now please get up to the classroom
and start the year off in your stylish manner. I know I will be
constantly bombarded with calls all day and I still have to find a new
school for Lee as well."
"Ok, Ok take it easy. Come on Lee lets go meet your classmates." Mrs.
Jenkins led the way out of the office and we headed to her classroom.
"Are you nervous Lee?" 'Yes I am Mrs. Jenkins I just feel so out of
place in here."
"Well you look great, Mrs. Taylor did a fine job in picking out your
substitute uniform." The final steps were made to the classroom and we
could hear all the girls laughing and giggling. Mrs Jenkins cleared
her throat as we walked into the classroom. "Good morning girls, I
trust you had a pleasant and relaxing summer. I want all of you to say
hello to Lee." The girls giggled out a sarcastic hello as they eyed me
up. "Lee will be your classmate for a short time until we find an
alternative school for him. There was some snafoo in the paperwork and
that is why he is with us. Please be nice and offer any assistance you
can give him while he is here. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, Mrs Jenkins!"
"Very good! Lee you may take the front row seat next to Gina." I
quickly took my seat next to the beautiful Gina. She was so hot and
she knew it to! Her nails and makeup were flawless. Her purple and
pink uniform fit her to a T and her long legs were covered in tan
colored tights. I was so nervous sitting with all the other girls I
was just hoping the day would go quick and that Mrs. Taylor would have
some luck in finding me another school.
The morning was filled with meeting the other girls and everyone had a
chance to stand at the podium and talk about what they did over the
summer. All the stories were filled with trips to the beach and
shopping at the upscale locations in the city. These girls were the
glitz of the city and they all came with top family pedigrees with a
strong financial backing. Every girl had a $1000 handbag, Cell Phone
and Laptop in their posession. I was just sitting there with my pen
and notebook extremely outclassed! Most of the girls were friendly but
a couple of them wanted nothing to do with me.
After the morning get to know session was over, Mrs. Jenkins handed
out some of the books we would be using along with instructions on
several duties each of us would be required to do each day. The first
book I was given was all about sewing and dressmaking! The second was
a book about the city's garment indusrty. All the books were geared
towards feminism and everything a young woman needs to know about
taking the next step into womanhood. Mrs Jenkins instructed us to open
our dressmaking book and we began to learn the way to properly make a
dress! I was so dissapointed at what I was being taught and the whole
feminine surrondings I was in. Mrs. Jenkins finished up the the first
3 chapters and instructed us to read the next 4 chapters for tomorrows
quiz.
"Ok Girls, tomorrow we will be doing our physical fitness tests so
bring your shorts and spotrs bras." I couldn't believe Mrs. Jenkins
addressed me as one of the girls! All the other students were giggling
and joking about it. "Hey Lee, if you need a bra tomorrow I can lend
you one of mine!" The whole class bursted out in laughter and Mrs.
Jenkins also shared a smile before calming everyone down. "Ok girls
that's enough, now get a grip please!" I was red faced and totally
embarrased! The girls continued picking at me throughout the day and
Mrs. Jenkins came to my rescue several times. By the end of the day
everyone was excused and Mrs. Jenkins walked me back down to
Mrs.Taylor's office. "Don't let the girls rattle you Lee, you'll get
your chance to get even with them." I don't know about this Mrs.
Jenkins. I'm not a girl, I don't want to learn about sewing and
dressmaking these are things girls do."
"Well some of the best womens designers in todays market are men and I
am so excited to see some of your creations as we head into the
remaining chapters." Mrs. Jenkins wrapped her arm around my shoulder
and tried to fill me with positive thoughts as we made our way down
the hall.
When we got to Mrs. Taylor's office we could see she was stressed out
to the max with the current situation. "Well Carol are you having any
luck?"
"Not really Penny, I have been on the phone all day with everyone on
the board along with several of the parents. I did tell all of them
that if they decide to pull their girls out of school in protest they
would forfeit their $25,000 tuition fee." Besides that, they won't be
able to get their girls enrolled in any of the other private schools
since the school year is now under way."
"I bet that went over well with them!"
"Yea, like a ton of bricks. So how did you like your first day Lee?"
The two women awaited my response as I tried to put a positive spin on
the days events. "I guess it was ok, I just wish the girls would not
pick on me as much!"
"Don't worry Lee, you'll show em who's the boss one of these days."
Mrs Jenkins excused herself and Mrs. Taylor finished up some of her
paperwork before locking up for the day.
As we made our way back to the house Mrs Taylor informed me that she
was having a tough time trying to find another school for me. Many of
the schools viewed her efforts as trying to get rid of a bad student
with sub par grades. Some of the other schools wanted to see my grades
over the course of two to three grading periods before ever making the
transfer. So I guess I was stuck at Mrs. Jenkins feminine charm school
for a while. I spent the evening reading sveral chapters out of my
dress making book and preparing for the quiz. This was so degrading
for me. Learning how to sew and make dresses was just not for me. Even
though I was reading the book I was more interested in watching the
football game on ESPN. By 9:00 Mrs.Taylor knocked on my door and asked
me to turn the Television off and go to bed. I turned off the tv for
about 20 minutes and then turned it back on and tuned out the sound.
The game lasted until 11:30. and this gave me some more time to re-
read the chapters we would be quized on tomorrow.
The next day at school the parking lot was free of angry parents and
walking in with Mrs. Taylor was a breeze. I headed to the classroom
and took my seat aside of Gina. "Good Morning Lee!" I was shocked to
hear her morning greeting. "Good morning Gina!" She shot me a smile
and then went back to texting a message. I looked her over at her
several times and I just couldn't get over how pretty she was. The
rest of the girls filed into the room and it wasn't long before Mrs.
Jenkins showed up clicking her heels into the classroom.
"Ok Girls put your phones and books away." She quickly handed out
several sheets for the quiz and instructed us that we would have 25
minutes to complete the quiz. I passed the sheets behind me and looked
over the first set of questions. After reading the first 5 questions I
could not come up with any answers for them! I was getting a little
nervous as I scrolled down the sheet looking at the remaining
questions. Everything on the quiz was was not registering in my head.
I was now wondering if I had read the wrong chapters last night. The
pressure was really building when the other girls started walking by
me and handing in their quizes. By the end of the 25 minutes I had
only answered 3 of the 20 questions. I had asked Mrs. Jenkins for a
little more time but she did not give me any. "Very good girls, I will
be grading these this evening. Now take out your fashion book and we
will cover the history of the NYC garment industry." The next two
hours were geared towards feminine fashion and the history of the
1920's garment indusrty. Mrs. Jenkins laid out another quiz for
tomorrow and then we headed to the gym for our physical fitness tests.
I Used Mrs. Jenkins office to change into my shorts and shirt since
the locker room was way off limits for me.. The school board and
parents would have a fit if they found out I changed clothes with the
rest of the girls. Mrs Jenkins led us in our warm up exercises before
heading outside to the track. "Listen up girls, You will now be timed
in a 800 meter run. You will make 2 full laps around the track and
finish right here. After a 30 minute recovery break I will time you in
a 100 meter sprint. Take some deep breaths and line up at the starting
line."
"Hey Lee are you sure you don't want to borrow that Bra!"
"Shut up about the bra will you!" I was so pissed off and ready to go!
Mrs Jenkins held up her stopwatch and gave the command to go. Everyone
took off and headed into the first turn. After the opening 200 meters
I had passed all but 2 girls and by the time I had completed the first
lap I was way out in front! "That's it Lee keep pushing it!" I flew by
Mrs. Jenkins and quickened my pace for the second lap. As I charged
into the last turn and down the final straightaway I looked back too
see no one within 200 meters of me. I crossed the line and Mrs.
jenkins shouted out my time. "2:14, what a time!" As I caught my
breath and waited for the girls to finish Mrs. Jenkins smiled form ear
to ear with the satisfaction of the moment as she prepared to give out
the times for the girls. "2:55, 2:59, 3:03, 3:13, 3:22! Come on girls
try and finish strong!" The last girl crossed the line in a dismal
4:00.
"Well girls I guess Lee showed you a thing or two about how to run a
half mile race!"
"This isn't fair he's a boy and he can run faster than us!"
"Stop crying about it Kristen, you lost fair and square. I can't wait
to see how you match up with him in the 100." We all walked around the
track and recovered from the first test. Kristen was quite upset at
how bad she was beaten and she just wouldn't let it go. "You just wait
til the 100 Lee, I know you won't outrun me!"
"Well I'll tell you want Kristen, I'll bet you you won't win and I 'll
back it up with a $100 bet!" The girls broke out with oooohs and ahhhs
as Mrs. Jenkins quickly chimed in. "Wo, wo, wo, Gambling is strictly
prohibited on the school grounds!"
"Come on Mrs. Jenkins it's just a little friendly competiton."
"Kristen, I just can't allow this. However, if the two of you agree
that the loser of the race must pick up the winners classroom duties
for the rest of the week, I would allow that." We both shook hands
and the challenge was accepted.
Mrs Jenkins stood at the other end of the track with her watch and
everyone paired up in twos. Kristen and I were the last to run so we
had the luxury of watching all the other girls races first. "You're
gonna get creamed in this race London boy!"
"I don't think so Kristen, You're the one who is gonna be busy doing
my duties all week!
After ten or so minutes Kristen and I stood at the line waiting for
Mrs. Jenkins to give us the sign to go. All the other girls were
rooting Kristen on as they waited at the finish line. Mrs Jenkins arm
went up and then dropped to her side. Both of us shot down the track
with lightning speed and halfway through the race I pulled away from
her and finished with a time of 11.8 seconds. Kristen's time was 12.9
and a full second behind me! "Looks like Kristens doing double duty
this week!"
"Let this be a lesson to you Kristen you won't ever beat me in any of
these tests! In fact, any time you want to wager again you just let me
know." She got right up into my face trying to catch her breath. "Ok,
ok, I'll wager the rest of the months duties that I'll beat you in the
final 3 tests!" Mrs. Jenkins and the other girls wooed and ahhhed
again at Kristen's firery proposal." I laughed at her and accepted her
challenge. "Come on girls we have 3 more tests to go before we head in
for lunch." We walked back into the gymnasium and I was on cloud nine
in shutting Kristen up. I just couldn't wait for the next test to
really crush her!
Mrs. Jenkins led us over to a radar unit inside a netted cage. "Ok
girls, now it's time to see how good your eye/hand coordination is.
Each of you will get 4 throws and your best throw out of your 4 throws
will be the one that determines your score for this test. You get one
point for every mile an hour over 45mph. You will also receive a 15
point bonus if your throw sails through the narrow 2 foot opening at
the other end of the cage. Lee, since you're the one to beat around
here you may go first." Mrs. Jenkins handed me the ball and I stepped
over to the line. I went into my wind up and launched the ball right
through the opening. The radar screen flashed 64mph and I quickly
threw up my hands and let out a yell! "Allright show off very funny!"
I looked over to Mrs. Jenkins and she quickly handed me another ball.
"Look Lee this isn't baseball, this is softball and girls throw
underhanded you got it?" 'Wait a minute Mrs. Jenkins I never throw
underhanded like a girl why must I now?"
"That's the rules dear, we won't count that first pitch so please
continue." Kristen was egging me on with a lot trash talk as I stepped
up to the line again. I rolled my arm around and threw the ball as
hard as I could only to see it hit the top of of the cage for a score
of zero! "Did you see that girls London boy throws like a girl!" The
girls were laughing at my terrible form and lousy scores. With my
final throw I whipped the ball about 5 foot over the opening at the
end of the cage and my best score was a whopping 10 points! Mrs.
Jenkins shook her head at my pathetic effort as she marked up my
score. "Ok Lee your done, Gina get in there and show him how to throw
a ball." Gina's first windmill style throw was an amazing 66mph and
just missed the opening for the bonus score. By the time she was done
she had outscored me 45 to 10! I stood there in total shock as every
girl beat the pants off me including Kristen who scored a school
record of 60 points on one throw!" Kristen was high fiving all the
girls and was now back in the game with two more tests to go. I was
now second guessing myself and what the next test would hold for me.
Mrs. Jenkins led us over to the other side of the gym to a rolled out
long soft rubbery mat. "Allright girls listen up! Now we will see who
is the most flexible and adgile. You gils will get 1 point for every
cartwheel and 2 points for every backflip you can do until you reach
the other end of the mat." I quickly pushed my way in front of the
girls who were all looking at me with big grins. "Mrs. Jenkins this
isn't fair! I never did anything like this before. Girls do this sissy
stuff!"
"Now calm down Lee! Unfortunatly I can not change the rules or the
tests just to please you. You may go last this time and hopefully you
can pick up on how the girls twist and tumble. Melissa your up!"
Kristen grabbed my shirt and whispered in my ear as Melissa walked up
to the front of the mat. "I can't wait to see you fall flat on your
ass sissy boy!" She pulled me to the back of the line as we all waited
our turns.
For the next 10 minutes I watched all the girls tumble and turn down
the long 20 yard mat. Several of the girls scored as high as 30 points
and when Kristen finished her test she had scored a solid 26 points
after doing 9 backflips and 8 cartwheels! "Ok Lee lets see how you
do!" All the girls were lined up aside of Mrs. Jenkins. The whispering
and giggling of the girls added more pressure to my situation. With a
slight running start I turned my body and placed my hands on to the
mat in an attempt to cartwheel down the mat. When I tried to finish
the first turn I ended up flat on my back! The girls broke out in
laughter and Mrs. Jenkins walked over to me as I rubbed my back. "Are
you allright Lee!"
"Yea, I think so!" Mrs. Jenkins pulled me up from the mat and Kristen
waisted no time in telling me the score was now even with one test to
go! "Well Lee I have to give you a big fat Zero on this one! I hope
you can regroup on the final test! The girls were mocking me and
laughing at my pathetic effort as Mrs. Jenkins wrote down my score.
"You girls settle down and get over to the beam!"
We all walked over to the other end of the gym where a small 20 foot
long 4" wide wooden balance beam was sitting one foot off the floor.
"Ok girls, now we shall see who is the most graceful in her posture
and walk. You girls will be given a score based on your time it takes
you to walk to the other end of the beam. If you fall off the beam you
will lose 10 points off your score. If the book hits the floor you
will lose 15 points. "Mrs. Jenkins what book are you talking about?"
"Well Lee it's like this. If a young girl is ever gonna make it in a
mans world today, she has to be prepared to wear High heels all the
time and she must have great balance and posture to accomplish this.
So, we will place a small book on your head before you start the long
walk across the beam. This will insure that you are looking straight
ahead at all times. When a woman wears High Heels she has to be
looking straight ahead to see everyone who is looking at her as she
show's off her confident stride."
"But I don't ever think I will be wearing Heels Mrs. Jenkins."
"This is true but you still have to take the test and I know we're all
dying to see how you do. Cheryl you're up!"
What the hell did I get myself into, now I'm taking a test to see how
graceful I can be. Cheryl walked up and stepped on the beam. Mrs
Jenkins placed the little red book on her head and then gave her the
command to go. She inched her way across the beam with very small
steps. Her eyes were looking straight ahead and her arms were at her
sides. 20 seconds later she made it to the other end without dropping
the book or stepping off the beam. "Excellent job Cheryl, you really
have improved form last year!" Mrs. Jenkins gave her a big hug and
then asked Gina to step up to the beam.
Gina stepped onto the beam and Mrs. Jenkins placed the book on her
head. After three little steps the book fell from her head and into
her hands. She quickly placed the book back on her head and continued
waking to the other end. By the time she was done she had lost the
book two more times and stepped off the beam once. "Well Gina you
definatly have some work to do."
"I'm sorry Mrs. Jenkins, I guess I just ain't cut out for the
glamourous High heel lifestyle."
"Nonsense my dear! All you need is a little self confidence to get you
going." Gina's score of 5 points was terrible and also a failing mark
for the test. The rest of the girls all scored with high marks and
Kristen's perfect balancing act scored a whopping 40 points. "Lets see
you beat that score smart ass!"
"Kristen! You know the strict rules about profanity in this school.
The next time you will be punished harshly!"
"I'm sorry Mrs. Jenkins I got a little carried away."
"Ok Lee lets get you going." I stepped up to the beam and Mrs.
Jenkins placed the book on my head. "Remember Lee, keep your eyes
forward and take small steps." The girls eagerly awaited my attempt to
walk across the beam. "Come on Lee, lets see your pretty feminine
walk!" The girls were egging me on as I took a couple of steps onto
the beam. My arms were all over the place as I wobbled side to side.
With my third step I felt the book begin to slide off my head! When I
went to grab it I slipped off the beam. The girls erupted with
laughter and Kristen quickly began getting high five's from the girls.
Mrs. Jenkins got me back up on the beam and placed the book back on my
head. "Please continue Lee." After two more attempts to make it across
I finally gave up and handed Mrs. Jenkins the book. "This isn't fair,
I'm not a girl I shouldn't have to do these dumb tests!" 'Stop it
right now Lee! You will take all the tests that are given at this
school and that's that! It looks like you're doing Kristen's duties
for the next month. Ok girls lets get some lunch before we head back
to the classroom." I hung my head low after losing the competition
with Kristen. If fact, the only one who scored worse than me was Gina
she finished 14th and I finished 13th out of everyone.
The remainder of the day was spent discussing fashion, makeup and
other feminine topics. I was so lost and out of place at this school.
I was hoping Mrs.Taylor would somehow find me a new school very soon
before I go postal on these girls! The last hour of the day was geared
to our classroom duties. Since I lost the bet Kristen I now had to do
all the sweeping in the hallways as well as the classroom. Mrs.
Jenkins also showed me the proper way to clean the classroom windows
without getting streaks in them. All the girls were dismissed by 3:00
but I still had several windows to clean before my day was over. When
3:45 rolled around Mrs. Jenkins locked up the classroom and walked me
back down to Mrs.Taylor's office.
"You know Lee, I think you handled yourself pretty good today despite
losing to Kristen. I think with a little practice you could beat half
these girls at some of these tests."
"Please Mrs. Jenkins, I don't want to be a good cartwheeler or have
great balance for high heels! I'm a boy and boy's don't do these
things." She wrapped her arm around my waist and tried to calm me
down. "Well, if you ever want to transfer into another school you have
to have near perfect grades or no other school will take you. And so
far, you're not even close to a passing grade. Keep listening to me
and Mrs.Taylor and I'm sure we will get you to another school. Mrs.
Jenkins gave me a final hug before opening Mrs.Taylor's office door.
"I'll see you tomorrow Lee, remember to study for tomorrows quiz."
Mrs.Taylor informed me she was not having any luck in transfering me
to another school and it looked like it would be a long time before I
was going to be out of this mess.
After supper I began to watch a baseball game and before I knew it it
was 8:00. I didn't even open the NYC fashion book to read the chapters
for tomorrows quiz. For the next hour I glanced through the chapters
as well as the television. By 9:00 Mrs.Taylor knocked on my door and
asked me to go to bed. Just like the night before I turned the volume
down and continued to watch the last 3 innings. At 11:00 I turned off
the television and prepared for bed. All night I drempt about losing
to Kristen and being stuck in this all girl school.
The next day at school Mrs. Jenkins handed out the quiz sheets and
gave us 25 minutes to complete it. Once again I had very few answers
on my sheet and by the time everyone was done I was still scratching
my head trying to come up with the answers. "Ok Lee, I will take your
sheet now."
"But I'm not finished yet."
"I'm sorry dear, but the time is up and I must have your sheet." She
extended her arm over the front of her desk and I got out of chair and
handed it to her. She glanced over my sheet and then gave me a
dissapointed look. "You may sit back down. Mrs. Jenkins got out of her
chair and began to hand out the scores for yesterday's quiz. When I
saw my score of 20 I knew I was in trouble. "You girls did fairly well
on the first quiz. But some of you need to do a better job and study
more! I felt her pinch the back of my hair and give it a sharp pull!
"Isn't that right Lee?"
"Ouch! Yes mam, I will study harder next time." The girls began
giggling as Mrs Jenkins glared down at me. "You girls stop your
laughing! Now, everyone open your undergarment books to chapter 4 and
we will begin today's lesson." For the remainder of the morning I was
forced to listen to Mrs. Jenkins lecture about womens undergarments
and how they have evovled throughout the century.
I know how much you girls hate wearing pantyhose but it is a far
better alternative than tabbing your stockings. Isn't that right
Gina?"
"Oh yes Mrs. Jenkins, I would rather wear Pantyhose every day. All the
girls in class wore Pantyhose and tights with their school uniforms
along with low heeled shoes and long sleeve silky blouses. Mrs Jenkins
was always dressed in a stunning outfit with the glam look of a
fashion model.
At the end of the day I once again found myself sweeping the floors
and cleaning the windows. Mrs Jenkins gave us our assignments and
informed us that tomorrow we would be pairing up into teams for the
remainder of the weeks lessons. Everyone grabbed their bags and walked
out of the classroom. I headed down to Mrs.Taylors office by myself
and she was waiting for me at the entrance. "Lee, get your butt in
here right now!" I could tell she was pissed off at something. I
walked by her and she gave my ass a good crack. "Ouch Mrs.Taylor what
was that for?"
"Sit down Lee! Mrs. Jenkins tells me you failed the first quiz of the
year with a score of 20!"
"Yes, but!"
"Don't but me Mr. Do you know how bad this makes me look? No one has
ever failed in this school and as of right now you will be studying
all night with no television!"
"Please Mrs.Taylor this isn't fair!"
"Get your coat on dear and follow me out to the car!" She was madder
than a hornet because of my test score. She pulled me along by my
jacket in front of three of the other girls including Kristen. "Make
sure you study up on your undergarments Lee!" The girls laughed
hysterically at Kristen's humiliating comments to me, as Mrs.Taylor
quickly pulled me out the door to the car.
The next 3 weeks I was paired up with Gina on class projects and
despite our differences we managed to excel together as a team. My
test and quiz scores were still not making the grade. Mrs.Taylor
informed me that there was no way I would be getting a transfer to
another school with my failing grades and decided to have Mrs. Jenkins
tooter me in the evenings 3 nights a week. All the other girls were
making the grade except for Gina. Mrs Jenkins had set up some
tootering for her on the other nights she wasn't tootering me. After a
couple of nights of tootering Mrs Jenkins could see an improvement. I
scored a 85 on the very next quiz I took and then I followed it up
witha 90! "Mrs.Taylor and Mrs. Jenkins were very pleased in my big
turn around.
After finishing up with another late night session with Mrs Jenkins,
she informed me that we should be finishing up with the tootering very
soon. "You're coming along very nicely Lee. I am very impressed with
your high marks over the last two quizes."
"I couldn't have done it without you Mrs. Jenkins. Someday I will show
you my appreciation."
"Well if you really feel this way Lee, how about helping me with one
or two projects i'm in the middle of?"
"Sure, I would love to! Do you need some painting or yard work done?"
"No It's nothing like that, it's a very special project that requires
secrecy." 'You have my word Mrs. Jenkins, I will help you out and keep
quiet about it."
"Splendid Lee, splendid!" Her eyes were filled with excitement as she
grabbed my hand and led me upstairs. "In here please." I walked into
one of the most feminine girly rooms I ever saw! "Wow this room is so
girly looking!" Her hand glided across my shoulder as I marveled at
all the Pink and satin filling the room. "This was my daughters room
as you can tell and she use to help me with my projects before she
moved on."
"Well what is it you want me to do?" Mrs Jenkins opened up the closet
door and pulled out a very shiny Aqua colored party dress. She walked
over and held it up in front of me.
"Now Lee I want you to take off your pants and your shirt while I get
some things ready for us."
"But Mrs. Jenkins, I don't understand?"
"Hush now, and take off your things please." I removed my pants and my
shirt per her request and watched her palce a small wooden stool in
front of me. She wrapped a pin cushion around her wrist and then
unzipped the dress in front of me. "Ok Sweetie you can step into this
darling dress for me."
"What! Are you crazy Mrs. Jenkins, I'm not wearing that thing!"
"Come on now Lee you promised you would help me." 'Yes but I didn't
think I would have to wear a dress! What if someone sees me?"
"No one can see you up here it's just the two of us, now get over here
and step into this dress for me."
"Look Mrs. Jenkins, I'm not wearing a dress. Why don't you get Gina or
one of the other girls to help you with this?"
"It's not that easy Lee, I can't show any favortism to any of the
girls or I will have nothing but cat fights all day in the classroom.
You're the perfect choice to help me out, now come on!"
"Please Mrs Jenkins I can't do this!"
"Very well Lee, I guess your just like all other men. You say you'll
do anything for a girl and then you go back on your word." I stared at
the floor as Mrs. Jenkins slowly inched her way over to me. "Come on
Lee, It will only be for a little while and no one will ever know." I
began to shake my head from side to side when Mrs. Jenkins quickly
pulled the dress over my head! "No Mrs. Jenkins, please stop this!"
"Quiet Lee, I guess we'll just have to do this the hard way! I
struggled to pull away but her grip was just too strong. She forced my
arms into the long sleeves and quickly zipped up the back of the
dress. "There we go sweetie!"
"Get this off of me Mrs. Jenkins, please!" She grabbed a hold of my
waist and placed me on top of the wooden stool. "Now lets work on this
hem shall we." I stood there totally humiliated as I looked at my
reflection in the full length mirror. My body was trembling with fear
with the thought of being seen in the dress. Mrs Jenkins worked very
quickly in sewing the hem of the dress and adding buttons to the cuffs
at the end of the long sleeves. "You see Lee this isn't all that bad.
She smiled at me and giggled the whole time. After a good ten minutes
of sewing the phone rang. "Now who could that be? You wait right here
until I get back."
"Can't I take this off until then?"
"Absolutely not my dear, you look so pretty in your dress." She walked
out of the room leaving me high a top the stool. I couldn't believe
she was making me wear a dress and then one as prissy as this this! I
could hear her talking in the next room but I couldn't make out the
conversation. After an agonizing 30 minutes she finally returned.
"Well how do you like wearing such a pretty garment sweetie?"
"Please Mrs. Jenkins I can't stand it, let me take this dress off!"
'Now you just relax for the next half hour while I take care the rest
of these alterations for you." She knelt down her nylon covered knees
and expertly began to sew on the hem of the dress once again. I
nervously stood waiting for this humiliating ordeal to end. "This
dress fits you pretty good Lee. I guess my daughter and you were about
the same size." "Stop it Mrs Jenkins! You can't tell anyone about
this especially the gilrs at school!"
"Calm down and stop twitching dear, I told you it will be our little
secret."
"Why are you altering this dress anyway?"
"Well, I wasn't always a teacher dear. I use to sew beautiful party
dresses for young ladies. I had my own shop in Texas and I would sell
my one of a kind prom and party dress designs to national retailers.
My daughter helped me by modeling the dresses before I sent my samples
to the retailers. These days though I just dabble in it a little just
as a hobby." She stood up and adjusted the dress all around my
trembling body. "There we go sweetie all nice and pretty! You may step
down now" I quickly jumped off the stool and Mrs. Jenkins walked me
over to her full length mirror. She pulled at the dress in several
areas before pulling down the zipper allowing me to step out of the
party dress. While I put my pants and shirt back on, she placed the
dress on a matching Aqua padded satin hanger and placed it back in the
closet.
"Thank you so much Lee, I trust you will be able to help me again with
some more projects?"
"Uhh I guess so Mrs Jenkins!" My god what was I saying, I couldn't
believe I said that I would wear a dress again for her! Her eyes and
smile were full of wicked excitement as she wrapped her arm around my
shoulders. "I guess I will see you later on this week for some more
fittings, I mean tootering." She walked me back downstairs and out to
her car. It was almost 8:00 and I couldn't wait to get back to
Mrs.Talyors house and try and put this situation behind me. I still
couldn't believe I was wearing a party dress for over an hour!
The next few days were filled with anxiety and stress. I was so afraid
that Mrs. Jenkins would let it slip to the class that I was wearing
one of her daughters Party dresses. Gina also noticed that I was
acting very odd and asked me several times if anything was wrong. I
gave her the typical 'Oh nothin's wrong' reply but she wasn't buying
it. It was very difficult to concentrate and the weekend could not get
here fast enough for me.
On Friday Mrs. Jenkins gave us our grades for the first big test of
the year. I only managed to score a 65 which was no where near the
high standards of Mrs.Taylor. We were still working as teams on some
special projects and Gina had invited me over to her place on Saturday
so we work together on them. I was so Psyched! I just loved everything
about Gina and the way she looks at me with her super smile. But
before I could enjoy Saturday with Gina, I had to join Mrs. Jenkins
for another tootering session this evening.
Mrs.Taylor scolded me once again on my failing test scores and was
really getting tired of my low grades! She suggested that I continue
my tootering with Mrs. Jenkins indefintely and my television
priveleges were gone for another week. Just when I thought I would be
stopping the tootering, she decides to give me more. The chances of
being transfered to another school were all but gone no matter how
much my grades improved.
I arrived at Mrs. Jenkins home at the usual 6:00pm time. She invited
me in and escorted me to her dining room table. On it was the usual
books and tablets all ready for my lesson. "I must tell you young man,
you really let me down with that lousy test score today. You were
doing so well, I just don't understand what's going on?" She looked
down at me waiting for my reply. "I don't know Mrs. Jenkins, I just
haven't been the same since you made me wear that party dress earlier
this week."
"Oh really! To be honest Lee neither have I. Having you help me out
the other day has brought back such fond memories of when my daughter
was helping me. I'm so glad you enjoyed it to."
"Uh, no, Mrs Jenkins that's not what I meant, I mean." Before I could
finish she quickly closed the books and grabbed me by the hand! "Mrs.
Jenkins let me go."
"Come with me Lee, I'm dying for you to help me again!" She wildly ran
up the stairs pulling me along right into her daughters room. She
slammed the door shut and quickly locked it with a small key. "Please
Mrs. Jenkins, I don't want to hurt your feelings!" She quickly
unbuttoned my pants and pulled off my shirt! "We can save the
tootering for another day sweetie. I've had so many great ideas
floating around in my head since you helped me out on Wenesday." Her
High Heels were clicking on the wooden floor and her Nylons were
rubbing together under her skirt with every step she took. "Oh, I
can't tell how much this means to me Lee!" She gave me a big hug as
she wiped a single tear of joy from her eye. I knew I was screwed and
would be in another dress before to long. Minutes later I stood
perched high above her as she whistled and hummed her way around me
fitting me into a Purple and gold lonng sleeve shiny majorette dress
with lots of silver stars and sequins! "My god Mrs. Jenkins this dress
is so, so!"
"So feminie and pretty! Yes my dear and it fits you almost perfectly!
I just can't get over how your measurements are so close to my
daughters. Mrs. Jenkins placed my index finger through the little
elastic loops at the end of the sleeves. 'There you go sweetie , now
you're all ready for some twirling! The shiny short skirt came to my
mid thigh and was so silky and streachy! Mrs. Jenkins danced aroung me
for the next hour as she altered the dress. I was so nervous being in
a dress again, just the thought of being seen by anyone was so
terrifying! "Please Mrs. Jenkins are you almost done?"
"Now settle down Lee, I have two more dresses for you to help me with
before you go!"
"But we should be tootering not dress making!" She reached up and gave
the back of my hair a sharp pull to show me she was in charge of the
situation and not me! "That will be quite enough young man!"
By 8:00 I was being let out of a third party dress and eventually I
got dressed back into my clothes. Mrs Jenkins was so happy and
overjoyed! "Lee, I just can't tell you how much this means to me!" She
gave me a kiss on the forehead and walked me back downstairs. "I
understand you will be at Gina's tomorrow to work on your projects?"
"Yes and I can't wait!"
"You seem so excited. Do you have a crush on her?"
"Stop it Mrs. Jenkins, It's nothing like that."
"Well I can tell you she has a crush on you!"
"What! Are you sure?"
"Absolutely I heard her talking to one of the other girls earlier this
week about it."
"Maybe she will ask me out on a date?"
"I doubt it sweetie, Gina rarely takes chances and has very little
self confidence. The fact that she invited you over to her place is
just so out of character for her. I think you will have to make the
first the move if you two are ever gonna take off!" Mrs. jenkins
walked me out to her car and drove me back to Mrs.Taylor's. She
expected me to be at her place on Sunday at 2:00 to catch up on our
tootering since we did none at all tonight.
Saturday morning arrived and after a lousy night of sleep I had my
breakfast and took a long walk over to Gina's house. The mansion she
lived in was just unbelievable! The property value had to be in the
millions! I walked up the long driveway and and rang the doorbell. The
door opened and out popped a stunningly beautiful female servant.
"Yes, can I help you young man?"
"I'm hear to meet with Gina."
"Yes of course, you must be the the cute boy she goes to school with.
Please follow me." I followed her and marveled at all the glamourous
art and decorations. I must say this woman was built perfectly and
walked around in her heels so gracefully as if she was wearing flat
heeled shoes. The Servant took me into a study and asked me to have a
seat. "Please make yourself comfortable and I will ring Miss Gina."
The house was in perfect order and not a spec of dust could found
anywhere. The study was filled with tons of fashion magazines. In
fact, it was a virtual fashion library! I checked my look in the
mirror as I heard Gina and here maid returning. "Here he is Miss
Gina."
"Thank you Suzette, that will be all." The maid bent over slightly and
pulled at the hem of her short skirt before twirling around leaving us
alone. "Good morning Gina, You look so different without your school
uniform on."
"I'm so glad you approve, It's nice to skip wearing makeup and heels
once in a while."
"Well you look even better when your all dolled up for school." She
tried to hide her smile and quickly looked down at the floor. "Cut it
out Lee, you're making me blush! Come on lets get working on this
weeks project." She softly grabbed my hand and I began to melt! Over
the next several hours we put together a collage with several articles
and photos on the manufacturing of hosiery over the last 4 decades. I
was a little embarrassed at all the feminine questions Gina was asking
me about Hosiery. She even rubbed several styles across my face with
her nylon covered hand so I could get a feel of how different each
brand was.
"You Amaze me Lee."
"How's That Gina?" You don't seem to be to scared of nylons and
pantyhose. Most guys wouldn't even talk about this subject, but you
don't seem to mind. why is that?"
"Uh, I don't know, I guess it dosen't really bother me and I love
being with you." We stared into each others eyes just for a moment
before she jumped up and pulled me to my feet. "You know what, we
should take this project on the road for a while." Gina quickly rang
for Suzette and instructed her to have the chauffer and her car ready
in 5 minutes. "What's going on Gina?"
"Come on dear, we're going shopping!" She grabbed my hand and walked
me over to a wall safe. After tumbling the dial to left and to the
right a couple of times she opened up the safe and pulled out a
wrapped money brick containing $5,000 in cash. "My god Gina look at
all this money!"
"Relax Lee, this is just pocket change!" She shut the door and spun
the dial with her nail polished finger tips. "Lets go, that car should
be out front by now." She pulled me along arm in arm right past
Suzette. "Have fun Miss Gina, when shall I tell your mother you will
be returning?"
"Oh in about 3 or 4 hours, tell her me and Lee are going shopping for
hosiery at Bloomingdales." Suzette had a puzzled look on her face just
like myself as Gina pulled me out to the awaiting car.
We jumped in back of the limo and Gina barked out her command. "To
Bloomingdales Murray, and be quick about it!"
"Yes Miss Gina as you wish." We sped off down the driveway and down to
the heart of the city. "Gina what did you mean about shopping for
hosiery?"
"Come on Lee, I want to see how much fun you are." She squeezed my
hand and let out a playful giggle. The limo was equipped with all
kinds of drinks and snacks and was 100% luxury all the way. I was a
little nervous about the shopping trip and where we were going but
there was no turning back now!
Murray pulled the limo up to the front door of Bloomingdales and
quickly got out to open the door for us. "Well done Murray, here you
go! Gina handed him two $100 bills and then closed her purse. "Thank
you Miss Gina!"
"You're quite welcome, now get lost and get back here when I ring for
you in about 3 hours. Come on Lee lets have some fun!" The doorman
opened the door and tilted his cap to us as we walked in. The store
was immense and nothing like any store in London. "My god Gina look at
this place!"
"Come on Lee lets get this shopping party started! For the next full
hour Gina marched me up and down all the teenage girls aisles picking
