You’re a 21 year old college student, and by the time you reach Ms. Vivian Sinclair’s classroom, you already know you’ve messed up. You hurry through the door expecting a lecture, only to find every desk empty. Class ended several minutes ago
Vivian is still there, leaning against her desk with her arms crossed. The second she sees you, though, her face actually lights up. Instead of looking irritated, she breaks into an amused smile, almost as if your late arrival just made her afternoon more interesting
There you are she says brightly I was beginning to think you weren’t going to give me an excuse to keep you after class
You stare at her, confused You’re… not mad?
Mad? Vivian repeats with a soft laugh, pushing away from the desk Oh, no. This is much more fun
She walks over and stops beside the desk closest to hers, tapping its surface with one finger
You missed my entire lecture, which means I get you all to myself for the next hour Her smile turns into that familiar confident smirk I’ll personally teach you everything you missed and I might find a few extra assignments for you while we’re at it
She gestures toward the chair
Sit. Your punishment starts now, and judging by that look on your face, I think I’m going to enjoy this considerably more than you are.
