It was just another weekday after school, accompanied with the daily assortment of textbooks, notebooks, the occasional crumpled up sheets of paper, gel pens, and of course Izzy's laptop on the scene. It seemed like teachers loved to assign students enough work to kill off whatever little spare time they had left after class, without taking in account that every other teacher shared this same philosophy. Fitting in one teacher's workload was hard enough, but multiplying it by seven was an almost impossible challenge. This is how Izzy and Mimi decided to come up with a system, which seemed to benefit them mutually. Mimi's grades were improving, and Izzy got to...spend more time with her.
"So this week, our subjects are going to be...geology and literature," Izzy scrolled through a spreadsheet on his laptop.
"Ugh, I hate geology," Mimi laid on the floor and rested her legs against the wall.
"And I really hate literature, but we've neglected those subjects a bit too long. We'll have to try our best to get a good grade for the next week or two so we can boost our overall average, and then we can go back to focusing on another class. I think we've made progress in our respective foreign languages, math's...I think we'll be okay if we coast by for a week, yadda yadda...," Izzy rubbed the back of his neck.
"I decided that maybe if school doesn't work out for me, I'll just be a tattoo artist. What do you think?" Mimi pulled a part of her skirt down to reveal her thigh.
"Uh...," Izzy blushed and looked back down at his keyboard. "Good work, I guess? Maybe you want to try drawing it right-side up next time."
"I'm just practicing," Mimi winked.
"Alright Mimi, do or die. Which subject do you want to start off with? Geology or literature?" Izzy closed his laptop and put it to the side.
"Ugh...you know which one," Mimi dropped her legs to the ground and crawled over to Izzy.
"Glad we're on the same page. Geology-"
"No!" Mimi tackled him and pinned him to the ground.
"Whoa!" Izzy squirmed under her grip.
"No geology!" Mimi pressed her body firmer against his.
"I was just kidding...you can get off me now," Izzy turned red.
"Okay!" Mimi smiled and smoothed down her uniform.
"Just so you know, we still have to do geology eventually," Izzy grabbed two small, worn-out paperback books and handed one to Mimi.
"I know...," Mimi pouted.
"And I'm facing this...this...monstrosity," Izzy shook his head as he flipped the book in his hand. "Does this even count as literature?"
"Have you even read the books? A vampire that falls in with an average boy? I think that's so innovative," Mimi gushed.
"Have you read the books?" Izzy made a face.
"No, but I saw the movies. Yolei and Kari dragged me to see it, but then when I found out that Kristian Steward was gonna be the main character, I was like sign me up!" Mimi beamed.
"Oh brother," Izzy sighed.
"At least this assignment should be fairly easy, since I've already seen the movie. All we have to do is take the pages that Ms. Ingram assigned to us, and turn it into a script, which we will have to act out in class by Friday," Mimi shrugged.
"That sounds harder than geology already!" Izzy groaned.
"No, it's not too bad. We only got three pages, see?" Mimi opened up her paperback book.
"Oh boy...let's dive into the wonderful world of young adult fiction," Izzy blew air out through his mouth.
"'Hey, I know who you are,' said Bellamy,'" Mimi read out loud from her book.
"Okay, stop right there. What kind of name is Bellamy?" Izzy scrunched his face up.
"It's just a book, no one cares. Now, let me continue reading," Mimi playfully slapped him with her book. "'Your last name sounds Italian, your dad is fat, bald, likes to smoke cigars and wear flashy gold jewellery, you have a suspiciously large amount of money for a family that works in waste management, and you all have this weird nasally way of speaking'-"
"Stop, stop, stop! Really? We're really expected to recite this dialogue out loud in front of a class?" Izzy cut Mimi off.
"Now you sound like that Italian exchange student. Look, Ms. Ingram said we can't switch scenes anymore or we'll get an automatic F, remember?" Mimi said.
"So people were already complaining about this assignment?" Izzy looked at her in disbelief.
"You were there, weren't you? Were you even paying attention?" Mimi asked.
"How you feel about geology is how I feel about literature," Izzy stretched his shoulders.
"Oh. At least this assignment should be easy to knock out," Mimi went back to reading her book out loud. "'Then say it. I want to hear you say it,' Edie shot daggers at him, obviously not literally, but figuratively, with her eyes, ya know?'" Mimi continued to read.
"Please tell me that's not actually printed in the book," Izzy's mouth dropped.
"I'm reading it word for word," Mimi pointed to the page.
"Oh...it actually is. Who let this happen?" Izzy made a face of disgust.
"I dunno, but it still got made into a popular movie," Mimi shrugged.
"Mimi, it gets worse from here...are you sure Ms. Ingram wants us to act out this scene?" Izzy quickly skimmed through the book.
"Yeah. Remember, automatic F?" Mimi tapped her head.
"Oh...," Izzy pressed his lips together.
"What's wrong?" Mimi asked.
"Well, other than the negative depiction of Italian-Americans? Keep reading...," Izzy said.
"'Your family's in the mob'...blah blah blah. Blah blah blah- oh! This is the famous kissing scene from the movie! That was probably the only good part of the movie if you ask me," Mimi flapped her hands in the air.
"Really? A scene based off a line like '...then they kissed innocently, but with a little bit of naughtiness, like a couple of virgins who weren't sure if they want they wanted to stay virgins anymore', what does that even mean?" Izzy made a face.
"I never really thought about it. Have you kissed anyone yet?" Mimi pulled her knees to her chest.
"Are you being serious right now?" Izzy raised his eyebrow, hoping to dodge the question.
"Did I say something wrong?" Mimi looked up at him.
"No... I'm sorry. Obviously, I haven't done anything of the sort yet," Izzy looked down at the ground.
"Oh good. This will be both of our first time then," Mimi sheepishly twirled a piece of her hair around her finger.
"Wait, you haven't either?" Izzy tried to hide his relief.
"Yeah. Let's just say I like nice guys. I like them even better when they're cute," Mimi winked.
"Well, I hope you find what you're looking for," Izzy bit his lip and idly flipped through the pages of his book.
"Izzy?" Mimi crawled over to him and lowered his book down.
"Yeah?" Izzy looked into her eyes.
"I know we're gonna have to perform this scene in a couple of days, so maybe we should start practicing it now," Mimi leaned in closer to him.
"But we didn't even start the script yet," Izzy said.
"Don't worry about that part, I'll scratch that up sometime during another class. I'm talking about the kissing part. I think we should practice it," Mimi flicked the collar of Izzy's shirt.
"Oh?" Izzy turned red.
"Yeah, just so we have it perfect," Mimi managed to wrap her legs around him.
"Okay, that sounds like a good idea," Izzy nodded.
"Great," Mimi smiled and gently brushed his hair out of his eyes.
"So how should we start?" Izzy asked.
"Uh, apparently like two virgins?" Mimi smirked.
"So we're the right people for the job, and we don't know where to begin. That's very logical," Izzy smirked back.
"How's this for a start?" Mimi gently stroked her fingers against his jawline and gave him a soft kiss on the lips.
"I liked that," Izzy turned pink.
"Now it's your turn. I kissed someone, but you haven't yet," Mimi smirked.
"Oh...I didn't know it worked like that," Izzy said.
"It does right now," Mimi nodded and flashed him a smile.
"Okay, here goes," Izzy pulled her head close and kissed her back.
"Mmm...I liked that," Mimi smiled.
"So do you think we did good?" Izzy asked.
"Doesn't hurt to try again," Mimi leaned in and kissed him again. She slowly trickled her fingers through his hair with one hand, and started loosening up the buttons of his shirt with her other hand. Their mouths began to open a little wider, and she slipped her tongue into his mouth the first opportunity she got. Her advances were well-received as Izzy pulled her closer to him by her uniform top. She abruptly broke away from their kiss and slowly licked along the side of his face.
"Mimi...," Izzy breathily gasped as she left soft, delicate kisses down the side of his neck, with an occasional suction that lasted a couple of seconds here and there.
"Yes?" Mimi said, busy nibbling his neck. She moved on to the other side, trying to make things even.
"Oh...nothing," Izzy felt paralyzed. Fantasy had become reality, but he wasn't necessarily all the way there, technically. "Can I touch you?"
"Izzy, this is one of the many reasons I like you. Bonus points that you're cute too. If this helps you out, my whole body is yours to explore," Mimi sat up on her knees and took off her shirt to reveal a dainty bralette. She took Izzy's hands and placed them on her bra straps. "I could use some help to get this thing off of me..."
"Like me?" Izzy stupidly asked.
"Yes. Like you," Mimi finished unbuttoning Izzy's shirt and yanked it off.
"I definitely think I can make that happen now," Izzy reached over behind her and felt around for the clasps. He successfully undid the hooks, gently slid off her bralette, and took a moment to admire the view. "Wow..."
"Izzy...," Mimi blushed for the first time.
"You have no idea how lucky I am. You are so beautiful," Izzy picked her up and laid her on his bed.
"You're just saying that," Mimi smiled shyly.
"I mean it. I like spending time with you, no matter what we do. Whether it's something boring like homework, or something like...this- and I'd like to do more of this, but I don't care. As long as I'm with you, that's all," Izzy laid down next to her.
"Izzy...," Mimi squiggled up close and kissed him. "I'd like to continue doing this as well."
"This is really nice," Izzy kissed at her collarbone down to her sternum. His hands moved up her thighs, as he pressed his pelvis against hers.
"Mmm...," Mimi moaned as she felt him leave kisses all over her chest, almost in the same fashion that she had left kisses on his neck- if not with more passion. By the end of this session, they were both definitely leaving with souvenirs of each other. She grabbed one of his hands and tucked it in her underwear.
"Mimi...," Izzy stopped kissing her and looked up at her. "Are you sure?"
"I told you already, you have complete freedom to do what you want with my body," Mimi moved his hand inside her. With her other hand, she reached into his pants and grabbed on tight. "Complete freedom."
"Complete freedom?" Izzy bit his lip, trying to keep his composure.
"That's what I said," Mimi nodded.
"Even if I wanted to...?" Izzy timidly tugged down at the waistband of Mimi's underwear.
"I actually would like it if you could," Mimi pulled down at his slacks with her feet. "Please."
"Okay," Izzy kissed her again as he eased his way inside of her.
"Oh...," Mimi groaned.
"Is it okay?" Izzy asked.
"Mmm hmm," Mimi nodded. They gently rocked against each other, and then progressively began to pick up speed once they were accustomed to their snug fit. There was only enough space for sloppy kisses and heavy breaths to be exchanged through each other's mouths. Dialogue was only for the spare remarks. "So much for kissing like virgins, huh?"
"I think it's safe to say we're past that point now," Izzy nodded as he rammed his body into her harder.
"Ohhhh-"
"Mmmm...," Izzy grabbed Mimi by the face and kissed her, partly to conceal her loud orgasm cry, and partly because that alone was arousing him. They began to slow down, and then break apart.
"Oh wow, it got pretty dark outside," Mimi glanced out the window.
"It did...," Izzy said.
"Well, I guess I probably should get going," Mimi pouted.
"I can walk you home," Izzy said.
"That would be nice. But you might want to wear a scarf or a turtleneck, just in case. Sorry, by the way," Mimi sheepishly smiled.
"But we barely broke through September...," Izzy dropped his jaw at his reflection.
"I'll try to be more mindful next time," Mimi pouted.
"Next time?" Izzy asked.
"There will be a next time, right?" Mimi asked.
"I hope so," Izzy grabbed a pullover sweater from his closet.
"Great. I'm glad to hear that," Mimi kissed him on the cheek and straightened up her clothes.
"Alright, let's get you home," Izzy held up her satchel. "We'll have a lot of groundwork to cover tomorrow."
"That's right. A lot of practicing to do," Mimi teasingly bit his bottom lip and kissed him before they walked out of the bedroom.
