Chapter One: First Lesson

Teacher Soo Young was running down the school corridor to her classroom. The corridor had been empty for two minutes now, she was running late as well as running. She was a teacher, but she was both mid-twenties and worked at looking stylishly good, so if there had been anyone in that corridor as she scurried down it, heads would have turned.

Well... there was one person in that corridor besides her -- a hooded man who's head did turn as she hurried by where he was hidden. As she passed he silently jumped out, and just before she reached her classroom door, his powerful arms encircled her and brought her to a quiet halt. After a brief startling at this totally unexpected interruption, she didn't resist as he pushed her against the wall, had her spread her legs wide to emphasize that she wasn't going anywhere, then tied her wrists behind her. He had her look straight up and taped her mouth shut. With her arms tied and mouth gagged, he then let her stand again, and lead her by the arm into her class room and up to the front.

The students in her classroom were as surprised as she was. The masked man picked her up and had her kneel on the counter top at the front of the room. He said quietly to Soo Young, "Stay put, I won't be long." then louder to the class, "All of you, please, stay in your seats. I'll be just a few seconds." His voice was confident, not menacing. It was like a neat surprise was coming. Then he left.

Soo Young tested the cloth holding her wrists. She might be able to slip out or undo the knot in a minute, but not in a few seconds. She was gagged so she couldn't say anything intelligible to her students. And getting from her kneeling position to off the counter and standing would also take many seconds. This was certainly not how she planned to start the class! She was still thinking about what to do next when, true to his word, the masked man came back in the classroom carrying a canvas gym bag. He spoke to the class.

"Girls. I would like to have you all in your seats with your hands tied behind you and a gag on your mouth, as Miss Soo Young is now. I can tie you, or one of your classmates can tie you. Once you get tied I want you to come up here so I can inspect you.

"That done. I will explain what will happen next."

At first the girls just sat. There were nine of them, seniors. They were as amazed and speechless as Soo Young. The masked man opened the gym bag. Inside were strips of cloth that looked like cut-up shirt sleeves, two rolls of duct tape, and some mouth-filling foam rubber balls with a strap pulled through the center.

Still no girl came forward. The man stood beside Soo Young and started rubbing one of her breasts with the back of his hand. "Class has forty minutes to go, we have some time." he said calmly. He was clearly happy fondling Soo Young's breast, and she was clearly unsure what to do about it.

But, he did get impatient. He motioned to Anne, the girl in the closest seat to come forward. She looked around, then did.

"Turn around and put your hands behind you," he said.

She did and he looped one of the cut-up sleeves around her wrists and knotted with a shoelace knot -- it would be quick and easy to untie. He turned her around so her back faced the class. For a moment he looked at her sweetly and pulled her chin up so her eyes would look into his.

He looked at her in a pleased way, then looked up from her to the class, "This is how I want you tied. You can tie a friend, if you like. That will be faster. Tie her and bring her up for me to inspect. If you think you can be quiet, you don't need to wear a gag." He looked at Anne again, "Can you be a good, quiet little girl?" he asked. She nodded yes.

With a quick movement of his hand he released her chin and it moved down to brush her breast, then further down to grasp her hip and turn her around again. He checked the wrist binding, then patted her bum and sent her off to her seat again.

The other girls got the idea. Several came up and took cloth strips from the gym bag and headed for partners. Those got tied, then both girls came up for inspection. Bella and Candy came up and got tied by the man.

In four minutes all the girls were tied and back in their seats. The man took a moment to brush Soo Young's breasts some more then addressed the girls.

"Ladies, you are here in this classroom because you have been carefully selected. You are bright, good looking, and don't have parents who are caring for you. You are being raised by the orphanage that is next door to, and closely associated with, this very private school, and that orphanage puts only the best of its best through this program."

The girls had been told this before, and they knew that what this was not some encouraging platitude. They knew they had to study hard. If they flunked, or got in trouble, they were removed from this elite program -- a dozen who had started were no longer with them.

"Your studies are about to take a new turn. It should be a surprising one for you, but hopefully, most exciting and rewarding.

"To indicate your entry into this new program, I'm going to give each of you a special choker. You will wear it as long as you're part of the program.

"Let's take care of that now. Soo Young, will you assist me?"

By assist he meant walk along with him. He didn't untie her. He moved from girl to girl and fastened a choker around each one's neck. It was a modest design -- a white oval with a transparent strap.

The man walked up front and looked satisfied. He put a choker on Soo Young.

"Good. We will meet again next week. Now I would like each of you to walk up to me and I will untie you." he added in artist speak with an artistic gesture, "Walk... as if you are enjoying it."

Anna started the parade. She just walked up the first time, so he made her do it again. The second time she had some style. Satisfied this time, he brushed her face and chest a bit, turned her around and with a quick slip of the cloth the knot came undone and she was free. She walked back to her seat. The rest of the girls followed, one by one, some getting into this walking business, some just making the journey.

Finally, he had Soo Young walk to the far end and back. She walked a heads-turning walk, and the man seemed quite pleased. He ungagged her and untied her hands, but he did some touching first.

"Ladies, that ends my class time with you today. I will be back again next week. I will stay longer then, and teach you more. In the meantime, work on your walks." He grinned, picked up his bag, and left.

For a minute, Soo Young and the girls were speechless.

"Should I report this immediately or continue with class?" was her foremost thought, "I... I... I'll continue with class. That will be less traumatic for the girls. If I can believe this guy, he's not coming back for a week."

Soo Young finally said out loud, "OK, girls, that was... an unexpected lesson. Now let's open our books to page 47 and get some real class work done."
