Jeannette lay still now, staring up at the ceiling, her tear-streaked face a contorted mass of pain. She knew that Dennis would fall asleep now, like an animal and that he would wake up in the morning, remembering what he had done and beg her to forgive him. It was always that way, she was fucked brutally by him when he was drunk and then like a lamb he would crawl to her to beg her forgiveness, but this time it would be too late, she would be gone, by the time he woke up in the morning she would be on an airplane to Colorado and he would have only a note on the kitchen table to remember her by, thank God! It was almost over.
CHAPTER TWO
The Henry Robbins School in Boulder wasn't quite what Jeannette had expected, it was far more permissive than the previous schools she'd taught in and it made Jeannette more than a little nervous to be confronted with her class every day. The girls were easy for her but the boys were something else, she was always having to deal with sexual innuendos and outrageous behavior, at first she had handled it by herself but more and more she had been sending boys to the Principal's office and she was becoming quite unpopular with them.
The Principal, Tom Packer, told her over and over again not to take the boys so seriously, they were only exercising their new-found freedom, he pleaded with her. Jeannette, however, was not so convinced, she was threatened by them and they knew it and it made her feel more than a little uncomfortable. On more than one occasion she had gotten the distinct feeling that the boys would lock her in the classroom one day and try to rape her, she always made sure that she wasn't alone with them.
The last school that Jeannette had taught in had been mostly female teachers with a sprinkling of men, most of whom were safely either old or married. The Henry Robbins School, however, was a different matter. There were only three other female teachers in the school besides Jeannette, the bulk of the staff being male, in fact the whole school had a strong male vibration, even the Principal Tom Packer was a bachelor and a handsome one at that!
