The Test

Victoria was awoken by the sound of her alarm and quickly shut it off. She got showered and dressed and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Walking towards the kitchen Victoria put her ear to the guest room door to see if Amber was up yet. All she heard was faint moaning and that put a smile on her face. Once in the kitchen Victoria found two shaker bottles one in light blue and the other in pink. She then began making some smoothies for her and her new roommate. Some frozen berries, juice, and a soy based protein powder went into a blender. She then went on to fill her light blue cup stopping before filling the pink one. An evil smile crossed her face as she went and grabbed her work bag from the hook by the front door. She pulled out a few items from the bag. One was a small bottle of liquid with a label that read Femmerall. It was a cocktail of female hormones her company was working on to help improve skin and hair in women. The other was a package of an experimental protein powder also for women. It was going to be called “Curve” and it was designed to help redistribute fat on a person to their hips,thighs,butt and breasts. She personally didn’t feel like she needed them but picked up the samples from work to give to some friends who may want the help. She just didn’t realize that friend would be her ex husband. She didn’t know the potency of each so dosage was a little tricky. She added about 3 scoops of the powder and about a shot of the liquid. She then blended the smoothie to mix in the new ingredients. She put the remainder of the pink smoothie and went into the bedroom to wake up Amber. As she opened the door Amber’s moans became louder.

“Mmmm. Baby that feels so...good.” Sounds like Amber was having a good dream. Victoria wondered who her ex was dreaming about. Could it have been one of his old floozies, maybe the neighbor women.

“Sweetie...Amber…...wake up!” She gently shook the sweet girl awake.

“......colli..” she moaned quietly enough that Victoria couldn't quite make out what she said. It almost sounded like she was dreaming about Collin.

“Good dream?” Victoria asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Oh….ummm. I don’t remember.” Amber said embarrassed as bits of the dream drifted away.

“Anyway. Get dressed! You have to get ready for your quiz in an hour!”

Amber bolted up and hopped out of bed. Victoria helped her remove her corset and replace it with the white one she wore on the first day.

“ Way to go Amber! This is fitting tighter then the first time! See! It’s only been a few days but the training is already paying off!” Victoria continued to congratulate the girl as she grabbed a pair of daisy dukes and the heeled shoes from yesterday. Amber struggled to pull on the tight shorts. But he did take a second to admire his ass in them and for the millionth time wished it belonged to anybody else but him. He then walked into the bathroom and applied his makeup. Just as he finished applying the lip plumping lipstick he went to grab his shoes. Once he had his shoes laced up he took another drink of his smoothie. Before leaving, Victoria passed him a white scrunchie and had him put his hair in a cute ponytail. Lastly she grabbed a pair of aviators from her purse to complete the look. Walking to the car both women notice the looks the red head was getting from men passing by. Amber was very self conscious of the way men were staring at her ass, which felt like it was going to fall out of her shorts. Victoria loved seeing her ex husband squirming under the onslaught of male admirers.

“Oh Amber, you should check your makeup in the mirror. You need to get better at checking your make up whenever you have a chance. A girl like Amber always looks her best. I also included all your test registration info and it’s in your purse.” She says grabbing a small black clutch from inside her bag and handing it to Amber “and you can’t be forgetting your purse anymore. You're just lucky your bestie is keeping an eye out for you.”

“Yeah like super lucky!” Amber said sarcastically as she looked in the purse. Inside was a compact mirror some more make up, tampons l and a few condoms. Seeing the gold packages brought another bout of nausea to the trapped man as a flag of his dream from last night popped into his head. Most of the ride both women just sat quietly and listened to music and drank their smoothies. Eventually they arrived at a local community center. This is where Amber would be taking her tests. Just inside the front door amber saw a line queued up with a sign that read GRE and today’s date. In the line Amber saw a collection of kids. She remembered these kinds of kids from her school days. Most of the boys looked like burnouts. Long grungy hair and baggy clothes. About half of the girls looked like the boys while the other half were dressed kind of like Amber. Except not nearly as slutty. Amber went to a spot at the back of the line. She leaned forward and checked her reflection in a nearby window bending ever so slightly at the waist. She was nervous about being in line with her fellow test takers so she decided to focus on perfecting her behavior. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a young man with hair covering his eyes gawking at her. When she looked at him he quickly looked away and looked at his phone. About 15 minutes passed and the facilitator of the test opened the door and everyone took a seat. Amber felt two eyes burning a whole in her back and she looked behind her to see that same boy staring at her. She was getting annoyed but her train of thought was cut short.

“Miss! Eyes up front” Amber not used to being called miss didn’t respond at first. “ Excuse me, miss! Eyes! Up front! You can stare at boys on your own time!” Amber blushed and quickly turned around. “ You will have 45 minutes to complete each section of the test. At the one hour mark I will collect your packets and supply you with a new one for the new topic. I will provide three warnings on the board. One at 30 minuets, another at 15 minutes, and the final one at 5 minutes. There is no talking, and you will not be able to get up and use the restroom. Are their any questions?” The entire group as a whole shook their heads no. “Alright let’s begin.” The proctor then went and handed out packets to all the test takers. Amber, feeling eager, opened her packet when the instructor told them all to begin. The first section was quantitative reasoning.

Directions: Compare Quantity A and Quantity B, using additional information centered above the two quantities if such information is given, and select one of the following four answer choices.

Quantity A is greater.

Quantity B is greater.

The two quantities are equal.

The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

A symbol that appears more than once in a question has the same meaning throughout the question.

Question 1:

Quantity A: x squared + 1 Quantity B:2x, minus 1

A).Quantity A is greater.

B).Quantity B is greater.

C).The two quantities are equal.

D).The relationship cannot be determined from the information given

The first question was really confusing. Doesn’t he need to know the value of x to determine this? The only answer that made sense was D. The next few questions never got easier. She then began to notice at about the 15 minute mark some of her group members had already finished. At the 5 minute mark only 3 were left. Amber and two other girls.As the proctor proclaimed that the first section was done everyone but Amber had already finished. She reasoned with herself that it was all this girly shit that was distracting him. The next portion he was going to focus and take seriously. As he was given the second packet he leaned forward and started reading with a new found intensity. Completely Unaware that leaning forward like he was and wearing these low rise shorts caused his matching white thong to ride up. Giving the boys sitting behind him a prime view of his whale tale. The remaining four sections went much the same way as the first two. Amber either didn’t finish or was the last one to complete her quiz. This made her feel beyond embarrassed. She had a college degree! Just last year she was a king in her field and now she was nothing more than a bimbo who could barely pass a simple equivalency exam. Her only saving grace was she believed she got every question right and these kids just flew through the test and didn’t take the time she did. After the test concluded the proctor said that they would be scoring the test now and in roughly one hour they would get their results. They all had the choice to stay for the results or they could leave and the results would be emailed to them at the end of the day. Only two of the other kids left leaving Amber to wait in the hallway with her peers. As she sat there she couldn’t help but notice that sameboy from earlier kept staring at her. Between the corset, the lack of food and the embarrassment of struggling on the GRE Amber couldn’t take it any more.

“Can I fucking help you” Amber said annoyed feeling the pull of her ponytail bouncing on her head.

“Um... is your name Amber?” The boy asked with a slight smile.

“Ummm. Yeah?” Amber said, confused about how this kid knew her.

“Um is this you?” The kid then went and shared his phone. On it was a video of a sexy redhead in a corset fingering herself for the camera. The title of the video read

Sensual Redhead Amber fingers her Pussy as she encourages you to come for her.

Amber was shocked that it was her! This was a recording of her call with Collin! She was so confused. How did he record it? The kid then hit play and Amber saw some of the video and quickly paused it when she realized the volume was turned up. “So…. can I get your number! I've never met a porn star before”

Amber then became very aware of all the eyes on her. She wanted to crawl in a hole and die. Thankfully the proctor arrived shortly after that with an envelope with each of their names. She grabbed hers and then went out to meet Victoria in the parking lot. Doing her best to avoid some of her “fans” who wanted a picture with the new video star.

“So how did it go!” Victoria asked as she got in the car but then she saw how upset her friend was “oh honey what’s the matter….. did you not pass?”

“What? No I mean I don’t” Amber said remembering she had her test results in hand. “Fucking Collin recorded our call the other day! And he posted it online!”

“Wait?! What?!”

Amber then went on to explain to her what happened and how pissed she was that this happened.

“But sweetie why are you pissed? He can’t record a session without it notifying you and you have to approve it” the pop ups before their call flashed across Amber’s mind. Is that what those said? He was kicking himself for not reading those “ and it’s awesome! You could have another career! I knew a girl who started a fansonly, or was it only fans? I don’t remember but I do know she made bank. And according to this video's views and ratings you could make a killing just being your sexy little self! Isn’t that exciting? I think Collin did you a huge favor. And tonight’s the perfect opportunity to thank him” she said with a grin

“ Thank him…..” Amber felt sick again. Her exwife, the feminist was saying that she should be thankful that some guy recorded her without her permission? And she thought that posting more videos was a good idea? The car began to spin. She felt like she was going to pass out from embarrassment and anxiety.

“ Now open your test results” Victoria said, snatching the results from Amber and opening them “oh 310 that’s barely passing. But to be fair I was expecting much. I mean as we just learned you only need your looks to get by.”
