In the calmness that follows a good orgasm, I reflected that I could get in real trouble if anyone saw these photos. Of course, there was no way to link them to me unless they were found on my person, still…

Then I grinned. I grinned probably the biggest grin of my life. Me get in trouble? Not anything like the trouble Ann could get into. I had her. Boy, did I ever. A vast and limitless universe of possibility opened before me. I had her taking coke and giving head to a sleazebag. "Ah, sweet mystery of life, at last I've found you," I said quietly to myself. Such a warm feeling to anticipate the future, when such vistas of pleasures lie ahead.

I quickly returned to the darkroom and made a second contact sheet, dangerous though that was, then put the negatives and one sheet into an envelope and went home at lunch to hide the package inside the air vent grille in my room. I did not hide the second contact sheet, though. I had big plans for that one.

I wrote on the back of the sheet:

"Dear Ann. These photos will enjoy a wide distribution to the police, your parents, and the shool population at large unless we can reach an agreement. Imagine hundreds of copies of the picture with Bill Arnold's dick in your mouth or Bill Arnold coming on your face, distributed all over campus. Imagine pictures of you snorting coke being sent to the cops. Imagine a copy of this contact sheet finding its way to your father's office, or to your home and your mother. If you wish to avoid all these things, meet me at the Fish and Chips shop in the Sanderson Mall today after school. We can discuss my terms. Don't worry, I can be reasonable, but don't imagine I am bluffing. I have nothing to lose by publishing these as 8 x 10 glossies."

I folded the sheet into four and put it in an envelope marked "Open in Private!". I went back to school, cut another class, and, when I was sure I was not being observed, slipped the envelope into her locker through the vent. At first it stuck, and I paniced a little, but a little back-and-forth action made it slip right through.
