John didn’t waste time and rushed back to the door separating the old and new wings of the school. He cautiously opened it and checked both directions. He was in luck; neither Frank nor his dumb minions were in the hall, and people seemed to be quickly filling the space, making it easy for John to blend in. He spotted a small group that looked to be heading in the direction he needed to go in.

He took two steps towards them but was shoulder-checked and knocked back a little, before a hand shoved and pinned him to the wall by an olive-skinned beauty with purple-tipped hair. “She’s damn smart, you know. There’s no chance anyone, especially not Frank, would ever suspect you,” she scoffed. She let out a quiet laugh and pushed his shoulder as she let go, then began moving towards the door. “Later, lover boy.”

She turned to him and gave him a wink before vanishing into the dark hallway he’d just exited. ’Think that’s the first time Erin has even looked at me, never mind talked to me,’ he thought to himself as he rushed to join the group that was slowly moving away.

“Ugh, like I care. Time for my next class,” he grumbled as he blended in.

“You must have fallen asleep in your last class, dude, it’s lunch,” one of the guys he was walking with said.

John stopped and blinked. ’Did that much time really pass? I don’t even remember hearing the fourth-period bell…’

He shrugged and turned tail, walking back to June’s art studio. As he approached, a group of three people exited the room. Looking in, they seemed to be the last of her class. He entered the room and closed the door. June looked up and her face quickly transformed from mildly annoyed, presumably at the student intruding on her lunch, to a warm smile.

“John, I’m glad you came. Lock the door behind you, but don’t get any funny ideas... not yet, anyway,” she giggled, gesturing to the door behind him.

He flipped the latch then walked over towards her. She offered him a seat which he took. “Hey June, sorry about this morning. My head was elsewhere, though I’m sure you guessed,” John offered, rubbing the back of his neck.

She walked over and sat in his lap facing him. “You seem much more relaxed now, did something happen? You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to though.”

John laughed awkwardly. “Uh, well… let’s say there are some people who don’t like me here and they told me to meet them somewhere, so I expected the worst but they ended up asking a favour instead. So everything was fine.”

June looked at him a little worried. “Are you saying you have a bully problem? John, you shouldn’t let that continue, you should talk to the principal or vice-principal. You know that bullying isn’t tolerated here, don’t you?”

John laughed dryly. “Don’t worry about it, June, I can handle it. Besides, it seems that whenever an ‘incident’ happens, all teachers are nowhere to be seen, it’s a strange coincidence... But it’s fine, seriously, June.”

June looked at him more worried than before, but sighed seeing John’s unwavering expression and leaned down to capture his lips. ’I must be the luckiest son of a bitch in the world!’ The thought brought a smile out just as June’s tongue brushed against his lip; his tongue joined hers and the two enjoyed each other for a few minutes.

As she pulled back John smirked. “Oh gosh, Miss Summers, are you taking advantage of your power over one of your students?”

June let out a laugh. “I’m such a naughty teacher, aren’t I? But I think someone will be getting some corporal punishment if they refer to me as Miss Summers again.”

John leaned in and kissed her again. “Damn, but it’s kind of hot. I’m sure every guy has imagined seducing a teacher or being seduced by a teacher, guess I might need to find another teacher if I want to fulfil those fantasies.”

“Oh, do you have someone in mind?” June smirked impishly.

“No, not really, never really fantasized about any teacher other than you,” John admitted, pecking June on the lips.

“Oh dear, flattery like that will get you everywhere; though if you want to get a little frisky, I will have to disappoint you at least for now,” June giggled.

John feigned a sigh. “And after you teased me all lesson, too. Wonder how you’d react if I started to tease you?”

His smile grew as his hands slipped up her summer dress and rested on her thighs. She looked at him amused and with a quirked eyebrow, though she made no move to stop him. He used his fingers to gently rub at her thighs focusing on her sensitive inner thighs while maintaining eye contact with her. June began breathing a little heavier and let out one or two very soft moans but kept her eyes locked with his, not breaking to the teasing he’d started. Then he cut all contact, removing his hands from under the cloth.

“Oh, teasing me like that only to leave me hot and bothered, how could you?” June laughed, but the laugh faded quickly and a pensive, remorseful expression replaced the smile she had. “John, do you remember how I told you that I know someone who’s had an eye for you? And how I couldn’t tell you who they were because it would be an invasion of their privacy.”

John furrowed his brow, not liking the tone of June’s voice. “Yeah?”

She took a deep breath. “Well… Saturday after you left, I felt amazing, like a giddy and excited teenager... I just couldn’t contain myself and I had to talk to someone, but I don’t really have a large group of friends that I talk to about this stuff… So in all my excitement I called her and spilled the beans. I managed to contain myself when it came to Ellie; I said we were on a call with a pretty girl but that’s all.” She let out an exasperated sigh. “Listen, I don’t know if I could win back your trust in me, and I can’t exactly fix everything by breaking her trust and telling you everything... That’s why I had an idea with Alison, it won’t make up for what I’ve done, but I want to do it as sort of an apology.”

June sat still, almost holding her breath, when John began laughing. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a hug. “You’ve been worried about that? June, would I be right in saying she already knew I was going over to your place?”

“Y-yeah?” June answered tentatively as she pulled back to look into his eyes.

“And I am more than sure that she knew I wasn’t there for an art lesson. So it doesn’t really matter if you told her or not. If you didn’t tell her, she’d have some idea, and so long as you kept Ellie out of it, it doesn’t matter to me,” John explained.

“No, I’d already broken your trust, I couldn’t break it even more,” June reassured him.

“Then I don’t care, and just so you know, anything we do together I definitely tell Ellie. So long as you only mention me and keep anyone else’s name out of it, you can tell the mystery woman whatever you want. Though if I was ever to send you any pictures, I’d rather you keep those for your eyes only.” John winked with a broad smile on his face.

June’s entire body relaxed before she collapsed forward onto him seemingly relieved of all the tension.

“Uh, there is one thing I need to say though, June, I can’t stay after school,” he awkwardly confessed.

June pulled back with a hurt look on her face. “John you have to! This wasn’t just my way of making things up to you, I thought it was a perfect way to show Alison you were able to be reliable, you left her completely alone in Friday’s lesson. She is very independent but the task I set for the two of you was purposefully difficult so that working together made sense. I doubt she’d tell you but she really struggled, and even though I wanted to help, I had to make the rounds with the other students that are… less capable and need assistance.”

John slumped back in his seat, he did abandon her and June was right. ’Even if Alison does have a high RP with me, that doesn’t mean she’d forgive me for repeatedly ditching her and I can’t make excuses every time either. Regardless of if anything happens between us, I don’t wanna keep letting people down.’

“Alright, I guess it’s not like getting to where I need to be after school will make a difference, just so long as I make it there before eight,” John thought out loud.

“At the very latest we will be finished at five, which gives you three hours to get where you need to be. And if you think you need it, I’ll give you a ride to wherever you need to go,” June said.

John nodded. “Three hours will be plenty of time, it’s not super far away but I guess I’m just anxious and wanted to get there asap. Anyway, I should go get something for lunch, I’ll see you after school, June.”

She leaned in, pressing her lips against his once again before smiling and standing back up, helping John to his feet too. John headed towards the door and turned back. “I’ll see you soon.”

“See you later.” June winked as he unlocked and exited the studio.

In his rush out of the house this morning, John had forgotten to put any lunch in his inventory, meaning he was reliant on what the cafeteria offered. As he walked in though, he noticed a crowd. He walked closer and saw Vanessa at the centre. It seemed she was able to get a larger blouse and she left her green blazer open displaying her enlarged chest.

“Yeah, it’s like a skin suit, you can’t even see the seams, I had to go out of town to get them right after school Friday and because of flight delays I didn’t get home until earlier today which is why I couldn’t get the bus,” she announced loudly. “My parents have been talking to a company about trials with hormones or something to…”

Vanessa’s speech became quieter and quieter as John walked towards the lunch line. He ordered a sandwich and quickly made his way out of the cafeteria. He spotted Frank standing on his own with his face red and contorted in anger. John could almost see steam coming out from his ears and did not want to be around to become a punching bag.

He found a bench in one of the less populated hallways, and as he started eating he noticed three notifications. He tapped on them to see two achievements and something else. He decided to take a look at the achievements first.

Achievement: Bedding the bully - have sex with someone who bullied you.

• UI Collar

Achievement: Can you s-meeeeeell what the Jock is Cuckin’ - Cuck Frank

• Sterilisation of the items acquired from Frank Dickinson (you are welcome)

John chuckled to himself; he was actually really happy with the second achievement reward as he had no idea what to do with them. The collar was nice and he’d have to remember to take a look at it when he got home. He had actually thought about possibly getting a collar for Vanessa but was going to wait a while. With those out of the way, John looked at the last notification.

John read over the changelog as he continued to nibble on his sandwich. ’I guess these are some decent updates but I kinda expected more since it took so long to get them,’ John thought.

For someone who was gifted powers, you sure complain a lot. I could always reset you back to your bed on the morning I gave you the powers and just leave you to be mundane with knowledge of all this.

’I get it, sorry. Just thought there might be more,’ he directed his thoughts out.

There could be some secrets hidden here or there, or this could be all you have. Either way, be happy I saw fit to change things.

John sighed. “Thanks, things do actually look a little easier to follow now, I guess, and I think I have more inventory.”

Finishing his sandwich he pulled his phone out and looked around at his apps. “Not in here, guess I do it the same way as normal just with my phone?” he pondered.

He focused on bringing his character sheet up on his phone and was greeted by a much less cluttered page.

’Looks pretty good actually, I don’t really need to see my skills every time I pull up my character sheet. Looks like my abilities are separated on each line: physical, mental and social, that’s pretty nice. Oh, and the new calculations gave me a slight boost, and I can basically add 10 to either HP or MP now anytime I have stat points to spend. I should probably do that now, but it might be a better idea to wait so I can actually think about it,’ John reasoned internally.

“I wonder how much Observe has changed? I should test it out, I guess anyone would do, right?” he quietly said to himself before looking up and around at the few people in the hallway.

Just as he was about to use it on a random girl, the bell rang again.

’Damn, I guess there is someone I could use it on in my next class. Wonder what Vanessa thinks of me now after what happened earlier?’ he wondered as he stood and headed towards History.
