Rory. Thursday Night.

“What is the difference between a pan and a tilt? Jake asked and Rory gave him a smirk. Rory had a test tomorrow in class. It wasn't that he didn't know the answers so much as worried because it was a written exam on everything they had covered so far in the first few weeks.

“Pan is left to right, Tilt is up and down. Something harder then that.” Rory said popping a piece of popcorn into the air and catching it in his mouth.

Jake skipped through the camera movement questions. “What is the 180 rule?” He smiled.

“That you should keep your actors with one character to the right and one to the left even if the camera cuts away to a different angle or a shot they should remain in the same place to allow the audience to easily follow the action on scene.” Rory said. It was little rules like that that would trip him up. Ones that were not so much rules as suggestions and got broken all the time by film makers.

“What is the thirty degree rule?”

“That if filming a two camera set up that the cameras should be no more then thirty degrees apart so that switching from one to another doesn't look like a jump cut.” Rory said popping another piece of popcorn.

“What is a Lead room in a shot?” Jake smiled.

“If filming something moving during a tracking shot such as a race car one should put negative space in front of the object to show the audience subconsciously the object has somewhere to go or it will feel like the object is confined to the screen.” Rory nodded.

“Explain mise-en-scène?” Jake said not looking at the cards.

Rory shook his head and thought. “French for placing on stage. Mise-en-scène refers to everything that appears before the camera—the sets, props, costumes, actors, and even the lighting.” He gave Jake a look.

“Nice to see you are reading ahead.” Jake smirked. He had read Rory's text book on film making himself and that wasn't covered till next week when they started talking set designs. Up till now it had all been about camera movements and shots as well as getting to know the stage equipment.

“I don't have your photographic memory.” Rory teased. Rory had to drill information in but Jake tended to read or hear something and it stuck.

Jake snickered as he read a card. “On what porn film did Rory Chase receive credit as a Fluffer.”

“Give me that.” Rory said as he took the card and sure enough that was what it said in Frankie's hand writing.

“Last time I let Frankie make up flash cards.” Rory shook his head and rumbled it up. Her and Jake were the only two people he could trust to help him study. Sadly if he asked Amy he never get any studying done.

“That is the short haired one right.” Jake asked,

“Yeah. I forget you two haven't meet yet.”

Jake handed him the flash cards. “I think you are ready for the test dude. At this point I should get an honorary degree in film making by the time you graduate.”

“Yeah but answering them on the card and in the class on paper are two different things.” Rory frowned. He knew the answers but sucked at test.

“See if the TA will let you do it verbally. Just try not to hit on her. I was going to say give you an oral exam but I knew what you would say.”

“You are no fun dude.” Rory shook his head at Jake.

“Well I am going to hit the library. I have a test in econ and accounting tomorrow.” Jake stood up.

“Please. You will be fine.” Rory shook his head. The dude always stressed but had made nothing under a ninety. The guy so needed to get laid and just relax for once. Sad part is Rory could see himself a little in Jake. Rory was a film nerd even if he didn't look the part of one. If not for his father forcing him into sports at fourteen and the dyslexia Rory might be just like Jake.

“You know your first video assignment yet?” Jake said grabbing his stuff.

“Shoot a short black and white film using the camera techniques we have been using in class. He is suppose to give us more tomorrow. I have no clue what I want to do yet but not really sweating that dude. I can throw something together over the weekend.” Rory smiled. The first assignment wouldn't really matter. Nothing they made in there first year would really get seen unless he posted it on the internet.

“Well I am off.” Jake smiled.

“Thanks buddy. You see any of the ladies I am not in unless it's Amy.” Rory said not wanting any distractions as he slid on his head phones. He sat reading over the cards wondering what trick questions the teacher might throw in knowing his fondness to keep them on there toes.

Rory got a text on his phone and reached over to pick it up to see it was from Thea. He opened it to see a picture of a few of her friends sunbathing. Thea sitting it the middle in a sexy two piece that covered almost nothing. “Wish you were here? I don't.” The text read. Thea loved to tease Rory and his friends and vice versa.

“Love you to Bitch.” He spoke into his phone and then hit send to text her back. They had an awkward relationship and though not brother and sister any more he kick any guys ass who ever hurt her or spoke ill of her. One day he swore he would break down and actually fuck her as much as she teased him. He tossed his phone on the bed and went back to the cards going through them again. He rubbed his eyes and sat them aside then walked to the mini-fridge and grabbed out an iced coffee. He sat at his desk and went over his film studies book next. He wasn't worried much about film editing as it was all on the computer and he was actually ahead of the class there as he was doing much of the stuff they were doing on his laptop since he was sixteen.

Suddenly a video call came up from his ex-step mom Vivian. He debated not answering but decided to at least be sociable for a bit. He opened the video to find her sitting on her bed rubbing lotion on her long ass legs as she was dressed in a bath robe. Her hair partly damp as it hung in wavy curls.

“Hey sweetheart.” Vivian looked over and did a coy little wave.

“Hey Cougar mom.” He smiled/

She blushed brightly and started rubbing her other sexy ass leg as she kicked it up into the air.“Will you stop. Just calling to see how you are liking college.”

“The college I like. The reading part not so much. I have test tomorrow.” Rory held up a book and then dropped it.

“Hope you are not working yourself up over nothing.” She shook her head as she ran her hand up her thigh. Her gown lifting slightly to show the curve of her ass.

“I know the material but you know me and test.” Rory shook his head and smiled.

“You should ask about an oral exam. I am sure they will make an exception as you are on the swim team.” She said as she reached over and set the bottle of lotion down on the side table flashing her glistening cleavage that he had already rubbed down.

“That is what my room mate said only he advised me not to say oral exam to my sexy teachers assistant who would be giving it as it seem like I was flirting with her.”

“He is probably right. I take it he knows then?” She rolled onto her side and propped her head up on her hand as she looked at him. Her lovely breasts pressing together in her nightie she wore underneath.

“Yeah. He has been helping me out with it.” Rory nodded and reached down giving his dick a rub as he was enjoying the view.

“Sounds like a good kid.” She rested her hand on her hip.

“He is though he needs to get laid.” Rory shook his head. “Nice night by the way.”

“This old thing.” She smiled and opened the robe to show the red silk nightie underneath. “Nothing you haven't seen a hundred times before.” She shrugged and tossed it over her hip so it would stay open. “Speaking of which. You been behaving?” She teased touching her chest. He called her cougar mom because she had a fondness for teasing his friends as well as Rory himself.

“I am still after the same one I told you about who is playing hard to get but if it was easy it be no fun.” Rory smiled.

“Admit it you like her.” Vivian smirked.

“She is growing on me. We just haven't done much beyond making out.”

“Oh is my baby blue balled.” Vivian laughed and bit her middle finger.

“Little bit.” Rory laughed and nodded his head.

“Here.” She rolled onto her back and reached down lifting her hips up and then pulled down her panties and then held out her panties dangling from her finger while she bit a finger on her hand. “Do you want me to send you these for old times sake?”

“I am good. Thanks.” Rory smirked as she giggled. She had caught him once using a pair of her panties to get off to. Thankfully she never told his father. There relationship had changed after that and Rory had become the main target of her teasing.

“Then maybe I could help with taking your mind off your studying for a bit.” She said as she sat up and let a strap slid off of her shoulder teasingly. The two of them had hooked up a few times after Rory's dad had cheated on her when she went from being his step mom to his secret lover. He would have given anything to be more then that but sadly that was as far as she was ever willing to take things.
