"Monday mornings officially suck." Max thought as her alarm went off. She knew that she would have to face everyone, especially him. Yesterday Max had spent the whole day in her room, only leaving for a shower in the morning and the occasional visits to the toilet. "How I felt yesterday was probably a side effect of the pill." Max thought as she got dressed after stepping out from the shower. Walking back to her own room she saw that Kate was standing by her door.
"Morning Kate." Max said as she approached. "How are you feeling?" she continued as she opened the door, inviting Kate to come in.
"Good morning Max." Kate said as she sat down on the sofa. "I'm feeling much better, thank you for asking." Kate continued as she saw Max tired face. "Are you feeling alright?" Kate asked worriedly.
"Yes, I'm fine. I just didn't get that much sleep is all." Max said as her brain decided to throw another memory back to her. "What can I help you with this morning?" she quickly asked as she put away her toiletries before making her bed look presentable, hoping that Kate didn't notice her subtle shake of her head.
"I was just wondering if I could copy your notes from Thursday and Friday lessons." Kate asked while she observed Max walking around in the room, collecting everything she would need for the day.
"Yes, sure Kate. Give me a moment." Max said as she picked up her notebooks. "Just give them back at the end of the day." She said as she handed the notes to Kate.
"I will Max, thank you again." Kate said as she got up. "By the way, did someone ask where I was? And do you know who won the contest?" Kate asked as she stopped at the door.
"Only Mr. Jefferson, I think all the others had received a notice about your email." Max said. "And congratulations, you were voted as the winner in this contest." Max said as she went up to Kate and gave her a friendly hug.
"What!? Really!?" Kate said as she stood there shocked.
"Yes, really. You absolutely deserved to win this one. Even I voted on your photo when I went to the library to see them all." Max said as they left her room and started to walk to class.
"Thank you Max." Kate said as they left the dorm.
Later that afternoon.
"Well today hasn't been too bad yet. And I get to see Ari later today again as well." Max thought as she recalled the text her cousin had sent her that morning as she was making her way to the last class of the day, photography. For a Monday, the day had basically rushed by. It wasn't until Max got closer to the photography lab that she started to get butterflies in her stomach. "Just play it cool Max." Max thought to herself. "There is no need to be nervous. Just act like you normally do and remember to breath." Max thought as she entered the classroom.
Seeing Mr. Jefferson sitting at the desk caused Max to momentarily freeze in the doorway. "Man, he looks like he hasn't slept for days." Max thought as she saw her teacher typing away at his laptop.
"Are you going to stand there all day and gawk at Mr. Jefferson or will you move so the rest of us can go in?" Max heard a very familiar voice say and when she moved out of the way, Victoria walked by and for once went straight to her seat.
"And the number one bitch has entered the building." Max thought before going to her own seat.
Earlier that day with Mr. Jefferson.
His alarm went off as usual just before his personal alarms clock jumped up on his bed. Slowly sneaking up and stroking her head against Mr. Jefferson beard. When he wouldn't pet her fast enough, she decided to lay down on his chest and started to lick his face.
"Alright, I'll get up and feed you." Mr. Jefferson said as he sat up, forcing his cat to jump down and walked away, tail up in the air, acting like she won that round. "At least she isn't protesting any more about the new automated feeder." Mr. Jefferson thought as he got up to feed his cat the usual morning food he gives her. Once the queen of his household had been fed, he took a quick shower before leaving for work.
As he got closer to the school, he knew that he needed to speak with the principal of what took place after he left the party to escort miss Caulfield back to her dorm room. The whole weekend felt like an assault on his brain. One flashback after another kept coming back to him of what they had done, or more precise, what he had done to her. Parking his car, Mr. Jefferson made sure to look around before he headed into the main building. Fighting back a headache he greeted the head of security, Mr. Madsen before continuing into the school building.
"Good morning, Mr. Jefferson." The principal said as Mr. Jefferson walked into the building. "Are you doing alright?" he asked as he saw how tired Mr. Jefferson looked.
"Well, to be honest, my day probably could have started a lot better." Mr. Jefferson said as he followed the principal into his office.
"Please have a seat." The principal said motioning for one of the chairs in front of his desk. "You know you can always talk to me if there is anything bothering you." He continued as he looked at Mr. Jefferson with concern.
"It just hasn't been the best of weekends for me." Mr. Jefferson said as he got another flashback. A naked torso, a breast, him sucking on the nipple. A moan as he thrust into…
Shaking his head he looked at the principal questionably. "Sorry, what did you say?" Mr. Jefferson asked.
"I asked if something serious happened to you to make you feel like you do?" the principal asked looking at Mr. Jefferson with worry.
"I better be honest with him." Mr. Jefferson thought. "You could say that." He said as he looked outside. Noticing that the principal was urging him to continue he sat up straight. "I just don't want you to hate me for what I am about to tell you sir." Mr. Jefferson said as he looked the principal in the eyes. "I'm still not sure how it happened, but it did." Mr. Jefferson said as he took a deep breath. "On Saturday morning, I woke up…" Mr. Jefferson started but had to collect himself for what he was about to reveal. "I woke up naked in bed with a student." Mr. Jefferson finally said.
"I, see." The principal finally said after some silence. He did not expect that it was something that serious. "This is a very serious matter, Mr. Jefferson." The principal said once he had collected his thoughts. "And do you have any recollection on how you ended up in bed with this student?" he continued.
"Not really, I am however getting some flashbacks from the night it happened." Mr. Jefferson said as another wave of flashbacks hit him.
The slamming of a door. Him pulling her into him, kissing her along the neck. Him undressing her. Him getting undressed. Him getting on top of her, tasting her, sucking, licking.
Mr. Jefferson once more shook his head to get rid of the memories while the principal looked on with worry.
"As I said, this is very serious Mr. Jefferson. Please tell me everything you do remember. And could you please tell me who the student is. That way we can hopefully deal with this in a faster manner." The principal said.
"It's… Max Caulfield." Mr. Jefferson said with a heavy sigh. "The last thing I truly remember is announcing the winner of the latest contest before noticing that Max wasn't behaving like she usually does. So, I finished my drink, mind you, a little faster than I normally would. And then I remember helping her back to her dorm room and after that it's getting fuzzy." Mr. Jefferson said as he took his glasses off and pinched his nose as if to avert a headache.
"Did you have more than one drink during the party on Friday?" the principal asked.
"No, I just recall having one. Miss Chase is the one who gave me the drink and I don't think it was that strong to begin with." Mr. Jefferson said. "Why do you ask?" he asked looking up at the principal.
"I think we will need to take a statement from Miss Caufield as well before we go any further with this." The principal finally said after a moment of silence.
"If it helps" Mr. Jefferson said. "Max's cousin, who is a police officer, came by Saturday and took some samples from both Max and I. Hopefully she'll have them analysed soon." Mr. Jefferson finished.
"That would be handy to have those results." The principal said as he stood up. "But for now, I'll keep this between us." He said as they both got up from their chairs and Mr. Jefferson walking towards the door. "And Mr. Jefferson." The principal added making Mr. Jefferson turn. "Try and act normal around miss Caulfield. And if you see her, let her know that I would like to have a word with her." He continued as he walked over to the door signalling that the conversation is over.
At the same time, Max was trying to pull herself out from the bed. Having slept badly due to the onslaught of memories coming back from Friday.
AN: Yep, I made Mark Jefferson into a cat person. I just can't imagine him having a dog.
