Chapter 1703
"Alright, folks, today's our last class of the semester, so let's have a little meeting," Audrey said with a warm smile. "The final exam results are in, and most of you did well. Some of you have shown a lot of improvement, like Albert, Paul, and Tony. I want to give a shout-out to these three and encourage everyone to keep up the good work."
In truth, their rankings hadn't shifted much, but their scores had gone up a bit. Audrey believed it was important to encourage them. Any progress from students who usually struggled was a win, showing they had listened to her advice and hadn't given up on themselves.
Albert, Paul, and Tony looked stunned. They had always been at the bottom of the class, and their previous teacher, Alissa, had mostly ignored them, focusing only on the top students. This had led them to give up and not take their studies seriously.
But since Audrey took over, she had repeatedly talked to them, encouraging them to study hard. Now, she was praising them in front of the whole class, which was a first for them.
"Ms. Johnson, thank you," Paul said, looking at the beautiful and elegant Audrey on the stage. He felt a pang of guilt. As a member of the troublemaker group, he had followed Ivan in bullying other students and causing trouble. He had even fantasized about Audrey. Now, he realized how foolish he had been.
Albert was also excited, his face flushed. He straightened up, feeling proud that his efforts hadn't been in vain. He was determined to work even harder next semester to prove he wasn't a failure.
Audrey continued to praise a few other students who had performed well before announcing the rankings. When she got to the first place, everyone was stunned.
Kevin had taken first place!
Since the beginning of their freshman year, Laura had always held the top spot in both the class and the entire grade. No one had ever come close to dethroning her.
But this time, Laura was second!
Kevin was equally shocked. He looked at Laura and whispered, "Laura, did I hear that right, or did Ms. Johnson make a mistake?"
"No mistake, you are first," Laura said with a sweet smile. "I didn't do well in literature. I misinterpreted the essay prompt and probably lost a lot of points."
Seeing Laura's slightly guilty expression, Kevin understood. She had intentionally made a mistake to let him take first place. He was touched and couldn't help but grab Laura's hand. Laura quickly pulled away, embarrassed that Audrey might see them being affectionate.
But then Kevin remembered something. He had made a deal with Daisy that if he got first place, they could try anal. Now that he was first, his dream could come true.
The thought of being with Daisy excited him. He doubted Daisy had ever imagined that her anus would be indirectly given up because of her daughter.
Audrey looked at Kevin from the podium, feeling a mix of emotions. She was pleased he had achieved first place but also felt a headache coming on. Kevin had already explored every part of her body, even having a threesome. What more could she offer to motivate him?
She sighed, thinking it was too risky to play with him in the classroom again. Last time, they had almost been caught by Abel. If only Kevin were as mature and sensible as Abel. But comparing them was unfair; they came from different backgrounds and had different personalities. The only fair comparison was their grades.
Audrey then went over the winter break assignments and told Kevin to pick up the homework from the office in the afternoon before dismissing the class.
After Audrey left, Kevin couldn't help but ask Laura, "Laura, did you do it on purpose?"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand," Laura said, blinking innocently.
"Don't play dumb," Kevin said, holding her hand. "Did you intentionally mess up to let me take first place?"
"No, I made a mistake," Laura said, looking innocent. "Don't accuse me unfairly."
Seeing Laura's denial, Kevin had no choice. Although getting first place meant he could have anal with Daisy, it still felt a bit strange.
Just then, Albert, Samuel, and Carl surrounded him, demanding that he treat them.
"How about we go to Celestial Haven again?" Carl suggested excitedly. He was still thinking about the beautiful Moira. He liked tall, voluptuous women, and Moira's sexy, tall figure had been on his mind for days.
"Come on, Kevin isn't made of money. One treat is enough," Samuel said, adjusting his glasses. "I'll cover it today."
"Why are you butting in? You're not first," Albert said with a laugh.
"I'm not, but my sister is," Samuel said proudly. "She got first in her class."
"Really?" Albert was surprised. "Samuel, your sister is way better than you. She's pretty and smart. Are you sure you're siblings? Maybe you're adopted. Poor guy."
"You jerk," Samuel said, his face darkening.
"Alright, alright, cut it out. We can go out another day. I've got plans tonight," Kevin said, thinking about his evening with Daisy.
Upstairs, in the senior class, the first place was unsurprisingly Fiona, with a nearly fifty-point lead over the second place, including a perfect score in math.
Abel had taken fifth place, which was impressive. Yasmine, with Abel's careful tutoring, had also improved, moving up five places since the midterms. Although she was still near the bottom of the class, she saw a glimmer of hope that she might get into college on her own.
She looked at Abel with gratitude. Initially, she had approached him because he was straightforward and different from the guys who only wanted her body. Plus, he could help her with her studies. But over time, she had grown to like this simple, honest boy from the countryside. She preferred her current life over her previous wild lifestyle. People want to improve as long as they see hope.
Sensing her gaze, Abel turned to look at Yasmine. She playfully winked and blew him a kiss, making Abel blush and quickly turn away, pretending to read a book, his heart racing. He hadn't expected Yasmine to be so bold.
Fiona, arms crossed, looked thoughtful. With only six months until graduation, she would have to step down as student council president. Her ideal successor was Kevin, but he kept avoiding the responsibility, preferring to date girls. She needed to have a serious talk with him.
Audrey returned to her office, filled out some forms, and went to Alissa's office. Alissa said, "I think we should thank Mr. Jones for helping us. We should go show our appreciation."
Audrey hesitated but nodded. "I'll go with you, Alissa." She didn't want to go alone to see Oliver.
"This isn't something you do in a group. It's too conspicuous," Alissa said with a laugh. "Just buy some fruit and go to his house or office in the evening. Say a few words of thanks. It's just a formality."
"Is fruit enough?" Audrey asked, unsure. She had never given a gift to a superior before. "Should I buy some cigarettes or alcohol?"
"He's the principal. He doesn't need those things," Alissa said with a smile. "You're overthinking it. Your presence is more valuable than any gift. Audrey, I know you don't like playing office politics, but in any workplace, you need to get along with the leadership. I'm older and don't have many ambitions, but you're young, well-educated, and capable. Mr. Jones values young female teachers. You should seize this opportunity. You might become the first female principal of Harmony County. Then I'll need your support."
Hearing Alissa's vision of a bright future, Audrey's heart raced. She had some pride but also ambition. She wanted a comfortable life without having to use her body like Vanessa.
If hard work could give her the life she wanted, who would choose a crooked path?
At lunch, Audrey and Kevin ate in the school cafeteria before heading home. Audrey let Kevin rest on the couch while she went to her bedroom, changed into clean underwear, and felt relieved.
Audrey took out a few pairs of pants, wondering what to wear when visiting Oliver. Jeans seemed too casual, and stockings too suggestive. It was too cold to go bare-legged, leaving her puzzled.
Suddenly, someone hugged her from behind, pressing a hard, hot dick against her through her underwear, sliding it along her buttocks until it reached her moist labia.
"Mm, you naughty boy. Weren't you supposed to be sleeping?" Audrey moaned, her body softening as she leaned into Kevin's embrace. Her eyes were filled with desire as she whispered, "Let's wait until the break, okay?"
Kevin's hands moved up her sexy waist, quickly reaching her ample breasts, squeezing them through her thin sweater. He grinned and said, "Audrey, I can't sleep alone. How about we sleep together?"
"Kevin, stop it," Audrey said, her face flushed, breathing heavily. "We have a meeting this afternoon. Let's wait until tonight."
