Scholarly Misbehavior
Hey! I'm back with more! This chapter should have a little more Rei-Jed action that the prologue. So, I hope you enjoy it! Oh and thanks a ton to everyone who reviewed! Your comments mean so much to me! Ok...so...On with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own jack…or jill for that matter. Anyway, I wish I owned Sailormoon…but I don't…tho it is on the top of my Christmas wishlist…I'm just borrowing the characters for a little while…
Chapter 1
Rei tried to keep herself from staring, but considering that the 6'1" man was even more gorgeous in crisp, white dress shirt and navy blue slacks than the oversize white lab coat he usually adorned in class, she was definitely having a difficult time. His short blond hair fell rakishly across his curious gray-blue eyes and the way he carried himself reeked of authority and the air of a person who knew he looked good and went out of his way to show it. What a pompous asshole.
Rei scowled.
"And personally, I don't think it's any of your business what we were talking about, Professor Campton."
She especially stressed the last two words, as if questioning his abilities.
Inside, Jared was steaming. How dare this little girl talk to him like this. Like he was nothing more than lowly scum…lower on the evolutionary scale than even the amoebas that they were studying in detail in class. He kept his composure though. He forced his trademark smirk onto his face.
"Oh? But it is. Aren't you majoring in law, Miss Lambert? Then surely you must have learned the consequences of slandering people in public."
"I also know that slander is one of the hardest things to prove in a court of law. So where's your evidence Mr. Campton?"
"I have plenty of witnesses. I'm fairly certain the odds are against you."
Rei glared at him with enough force to paralyze am army of bloodthirsty Vikings, but he seemed completely unfazed by her harsh looks.
"Look, Mr. Campton. I don't know what you have against me, but I think I deserved better than that C you gave me on the last test. But since you won't listen to reason and seeing that I have more important things to deal with than you, I'll be going now."
She whipped around and started to march valiantly down the ranks of students who were now staring unabashedly at her when am firm hand reached down and clasped unrelentingly down on her arm.
"Not so fast Miss Lambert. I think I need to have a little one on one chat with you. Four o'clock today in my office."
"I don't have anything to discuss with you sir." Rei bit out every word icily, with her annoyance and utter hatred for him evident in every syllable.
"Four o'clock Miss Lambert."
His tone left no room for contradiction.
Rei let out what sounded like a cross between a sigh and growl of utter frustration. She briskly slapped away his hand, which was still clamped down on her arm like steel. Grabbing Mina quickly, she nearly ran down the hallway, plowing down any hapless freshman that stood in her way. It didn't matter, just as long as she could get as far away from that abominable man as physically possible.
Jared watched as the agitated girl rushed down the hallway, anger rolling off her in almost perceptible waves. He shook his head. Why did they have to stick him a class with such a little spitfire? The Fates were cruel, cruel beings….
"Hold up Rei! I can't keep up!" Mina yelled as she trotted alongside Rei….or at least tried to keep up. Rei was so mad at the moment that she probably would be able to intimidate even the fiercest lion into tears.
"Why won't that fucking jerk just leave me alone! Jesus! What the hell did I ever do to him!"
"What do you think he wants to see you for?"
"Probably to bitch at me some more about my 'poor attitude' in his class."
They finally made it outside the stuffy college building. If she had to stay one more second in there, Rei though she would have burst like a balloon. Not to mention the fact that her blasted Bio teacher could be around any corner, or air vent for that matter, eavesdropping and just waiting for her to say something inappropriate that he could rail on her for.
It was only a short, 3-minute walk back to their dorms. Being a senior did have its quirks after all. The frosh dorms were almost 15 minutes away, on the north edge of campus, where the most action that occurred was a book falling off the bookshelf in the library and the librarian ripping her skirt trying to pick it up.
Rei carelessly shoved the key into the decrepit door that looked like it would probably open even without a key. As soon as the door opened, she was greeted with a blast of loud exercise music that shook her whole entire body. She painfully tried to work her way into the room, a rather tough task considering the massive quantities of unwashed and washed clothes that were scattered all over the dirty wood floor.
"Lita?!" She attempted to shoot over the booming music, but to no avail; her voice just couldn't compete with Richard Simmon's. She kicked away piles of clothes left and right to try to blaze a trail to her deaf roommate, who was currently so engrossed in executing jumping jacks that a herd of elephants could stampede through their room and she wouldn't even notice.
"Hey Lita!" This time Rei screamed loud enough to wake the dead and sure enough, Lita turned around with a confused look on her face.
"What?!" she screamed back.
"Can you turn that thing down?!"
"What?! I can't hear you! Talk louder!"
Rei gave up trying to talk over the hyperactive man on the television screen and marched right over to TV and switched the whole thing off with one quick flick of her wrist.
"Hey! What did you do that for?!" cried Lita indignantly.
Rei rolled her eyes upward as Lita reached for a water-bottle and towel to wipe off her sweat.
"Well, what's up your ass today?" Lita asked as soon as she had cooled off a bit.
"Nothing. My Bio teacher's just a prick. That's all."
"Oh, you mean that really hot blond?"
"Yeah….I mean NO! Who would think that moron's cute?"
"Well, he kinda does look like an angel, especially that one time we saw him napping in the library."
"Whatever….more like the angel from hell. Besides, he was drooling all over the table that time." Rei muttered underneath her breath.
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"What happened girl? Something must have gotten you this pissed."
"Yeah well, the ass decided to give me a C on the last test we just had, and when I went up to talk to him about it, he just looked at me like I was some sort of idiot and told me that he doesn't negotiate grades. I mean, what the hell is that all about?! And then when Mina and I were walking down the hall away from his shitty class, he was like stalking us or something, and just happened to be there when I started calling him names…"
"I'm afraid to ask, but what sort of names?…"
"Um…."
"Rei!"
"What?! He deserved everything!"
"So? What did he do?"
"Told me I had to see him after class at four."
"Shit! Don't you have track practice until 5 today?!"
"Crap! I totally forgot about that! Coach Marsano is totally gonna bust my ass if I don't show up on time! What time is it now?!"
"2:55!"
"Fuck! I only have 5 minutes to get there!"
What ensued was just pure chaos, with Rei rushing about the room trying to get her clothes and gear together while Lita continued her one on one conference with Richard Simmons…
2 hours later….
Jared Campton glanced at his watch for what seemed to be the nth time today. Where was that damn girl? All he wanted to do was talk to her about that grade that she seemed so adamant on arguing with him on. He ran a hand through his unkempt bangs, letting them fall in whatever direction they deemed natural. What was up with that girl? First, she yells and throws a fit about her grade, and then she doesn't care at all?
He shrugged to himself. What a girl. They just did not mix. Both of them had such explosive tempers that recently, half the class seemed to be devoted to their heated debates instead of cell respiration, photosynthesis, or whatever he was supposed to be teaching at that point. She was passionate; he'd give her that all right. Passionate, wild and beautiful. Who wouldn't see that at least? She could pass for a fucking model! With her jet black hair that seemed to be streaked with a natural tinge of purple and her amethyst eyes that seemed to burn and flame whenever he looked into them, she was almost exotic. At an average height of 5'6" and slim figure, she was hardly daunting to him, but she carried around an aura of undeniable sensuality, a raw and unbridled passion. He could just imagine what a little savage she'd be in bed. Probably moaning and purring under him….
He shook his head clear of such thoughts. Even her beauty couldn't save her from the mountain of trouble she was in with him. He wouldn't let her off so easy tomorrow.
"Well, might as well get some work done," he thought as he dug through his briefcase and lifted out a thick folder full of lab reports that he had to grade. Actually, two sets of lab reports. Count on him to procrastinate…
A few minutes later, he wasn't even done with the first paper yet, when his office door banged open. And who should come breezing in but Rei, her waist-length hair now put up in a high ponytail swinging back and forth with her every movement. He lifted his eyes, ready to reproach her for her tardiness, but he felt his mouth go dry when he saw her.
She had apparently just come from some sort of practice. Rei was wearing only a black sports bra and black running shorts that only covered her upper thigh. That wasn't what got to him though; he had seen women dressed in less and hardly as impressive. What really riveted his attention was the sheen layer of sweat that coated every inch of her alabaster skin. She was breathing laboriously, her breasts heaving up and down under his watchful gaze, obviously just done with some intense physical exertion. The sight of her panting and wiping off the sweat on her forehead with a small towel was just too much for him. He had to have her, then and there. It didn't matter.
"Sorry, Mr. Campton. I had track practice, and I totally forget about the time. I'm really sorry but my coach would've killed me if I—"
Rei never got to finish her sentence as Jared came over to where she was leaning against the wall and without warning, grabbed her roughly by the shoulders with such force that she'd probably be sporting bruises for the next 2 weeks. He abruptly pushed her up against the wall, leaning in as close as possible. She gasped in surprise and tried to push at his rock hard chest, but all her attempts were futile. She knew she was fighting a losing battle as soon as she saw the dangerous, predatory gleam in his eyes….
~Well, that's it for now! Hehe…I'm cruel aren't I? Sorry…don't worry, I'll have the next chapter out within 2 or 3 days…or maybe sooner if I get enough incentives…*hint, hint*
