chapter 14

I sat at the table, my head down picking at the table. I wasn't left here all by myself, Zander sat two chairs from me doing similar. After two days of fun, classes were now starting. Our doms were up at the breakfast line grabbing our plates and our cups. Zander seemed even more pouty about having to do some actual learning and splitting from our doms. I had begun to enjoy Alaric's company, thinking of spending the next 5 days only seeing him when we shared classes, lunch, and free time made me extra grumpy. Everyone began sitting back at the table, Rodney lifting Zander's chin giving him a pep talk and some cuddles before setting his tray in front of him. Alaric came to sit next to me looking at me in a similar way that Rodney looked at Zander.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay. What's making you unhappy Rosebud." I looked down chewing on my lip. "I-i just don't want to be without you all day, plus this is all so new to me...I'm nervous Alary..." He set the trays down and gave me a tight hug. "I'm flattered that you want me to be around all the time, but you need to go to class so you can learn. You have to be a big girl for me." He pushed my hair behind my ear. "I'm already so proud of you, I know you can get through today. If you can make it till the last bell you can come cuddle with me and watch movies in my room till you have to go to bed, how's that sound? We can even have dinner and dessert in my room" I gave him a light smile nodding. "I'd really like that." Alaric gave me a big smile before sitting in his own seat and pushing my tray in front of me to eat. I mainly picked at my food, feeling too nervous to stomach much. I of course made sure I drank down my cup of blood so Alaric didn't get onto me. It didn't help that I kept stealing glances at Alaric and blushing. I didn't think I'd be drooling at him in his school uniform...and yet I was. It didn't take much for the infatuation I felt for him to slowly creep in.

I thought doms were supposed to be the one head over heels for their sub, or at least that's how my mama and papa were. But I couldn't help the feeling that I'd do anything to please Alaric. Anything to hear, "I'm proud of you." Or "my good girl." It consumed me, dictated all my choices. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I hadn't noticed the bell ringing until Delilah nudged me with a smirk on her face. "Hey, clean up Lilly." I jumped up grabbing my tray and throwing away the food I didn't eat. When I got back to the table Alaric was talking to Mathew, a frustrated Rosalie standing with them. When Rosalie turned and saw me she quickly grabbed Alaric's arm smiling up at him and saying something. Mathew kinda looked at Rosalie with surprise then shook his head saying something. Rosalie pouted but let go of Alaric's arm and went back to standing next to her daddy. I couldn't help the jealousy that creeped into my thoughts, but I pushed it away shaking it off. "You ready to go Alary?" I asked walking up and grabbing his hand. He patted my head smiling down at me. "Of course, let's drop you off at your home room cutie." Rosalie rolled her eyes, when I turned to look at her she went back to her plastic smile.

We were standing outside of my home room, Alaric was giving me a hug and telling me to be good. He went to turn around but I grabbed his sleeve. "...Alary...what was...what was Rosalie doing?" I felt guilt. I completely trusted Alaric and I knew whatever Rosalie did, he didn't enjoy. Alaric crouched down and looked up at me, rubbing my arm. "Right...I'm sorry I could feel your jealousy but...I didn't want to give her any attention. Rosalie was asking if I could take her to class. She probably was just trying to get on mathews nerves, he told me that she's a real brat. So don't worry, I don't like her and I only have eyes for you. Okay baby?" I nodded giving him a tight hug. "Thank you daddy." Before Alaric could react I quickly ran into my classroom, leaving him speechless in the hall.

As I walked into the room I was greeted by Zander and nixie who pulled me to a table. I sat down in the middle of the two, Zander was talking his head off about how easy the classes were going to be since it was the first day and Nixie was looking around the room. "What are you looking for?" I whispered to Nixie who all but jumped out of her skin, her gills flaring out. "Lilith, you gave me a heart attack. I was trying to find the director, mentor or... Teacher? whatever you call them here. I figured since this is a strictly little class, maybe the director was one too." I nodded now looking around too. "You have a point, what's friendlier than another little? One with lots of experience. Adding that this room is the same room for little 101. So this must be the little space teacher?" Nixie smirked at me. "Bingo bongo Lilly. I want to see what an experienced little looks like, like do you eventually grow out of it? Am I going to be wearing onesies and sucking on pacifiers at 40." I cringed at the thought, I really thought this whole thing has an age cap. All of the students were now sitting at the tables patiently waiting for a teacher or instructor of some kind.

"I'm so sorry students, I'm a mess. The first days seem to always have me fumbling about. Give me a second and I'll be up at the front of the room. 'stupid worksheets, where did I put them?'" a frustrated woman's voice came from a closet at the back of the room. It looked to be an art closet just by the color wheel on the inside of it. Looking around the rest of the room, it looked similar to a preschool classroom. Stations with different toys lined the edges of the room, a large reading rug sat at the very front. There were sinks with paint brushes and other washable items. To the very right corner near the door sat the teachers desk. A box of crayons and a coloring book sat infront of where she sat. A computer pushed to the corner for when she needed to use it.

"Okay, there we go. Sorry class, is everyone ready to start their first day?" The teacher walked to the front of the class holding a clip board and a stack of worksheets. The woman wore a blouse with a sweater over it, a flowing skirt and a pair of white flats. She was plump with round facial features, her whole appearance was soft and gentle. Her black hair tied into a bun, a paint brush sticking out from it. Her eyes a bright red and white freckles danced across her cheeks. I could imagine her with paint splattered and smeared on her face after finishing a project. "My name is Mrs.Brightmen, I am you home room teacher and I will also be your little 101 teacher. So I hope we can get comfortable with each other, to help with that id like you to ask me any questions you might have. Right out the gate im an open book. So I'll try answering to the best of my abilities." Several students began raising their hands.

(I'm gonna do this in a Q and A form so, enjoy ig.)

*Q: are you a little?

*A: yes, I am.

*Q: do you have a daddy?

*A: yes, Mr.Brightmen is my daddy and he is also the caregiver 101 teacher. You might sit in his class from time to time with your Dom. He looks scary but he's a sweetie.

*Q: what is little 101 about?

*A: anything and everything little space. how to go into it, how to feel safe in it, little items you can use to aid little space, Ect. Ect. You will also receive little space items in this class depending on little age.

*Q: what if we don't know our little age?

*A: that is something I will access as you take this class. Everyday I'm to fill out a sheet saying how little you got while in my class. That report is something your daddy or mommy can look at to know how your day is going and the appropriate items to get for you.

I listened into what all the students were asking, anytime I thought of one another student asked it. It's better that way, I hate being the center of attention. I tend to stutter and fumble my words when I am. "Okay students, I'm going to pass around this worksheet around and I want you to answer the questions honestly. Some of these you might have answered during intake. When the bell rings please pass it up to my desk. This sheet will help when deciding what your campass cottage will look like, we will combine yours and your caregivers sheets to pick a good home for you. I grabbed the sheet and began filling it out, once I was finished I quietly talked to Nixie and Zander until the bell rung. I passed my sheet into Mrs.Brightmen and walked to my next class....math. I groaned in my head. 2 more periods...I just have to survive 2 more periods then I get to see daddy.
