As he answered, he felt Sara pet him approvingly. As he looked at Emily, it made him feel more embarrassed. One of her students ran his life now. It was mortifying. What Jordan hated the most was how Sara lovingly petted him. He hated how he felt his body release a shot of dopamine into his system as she did so. It bothered Jordan how his body relaxed in her grip, how her gentle pets brought about a feeling of happiness in him.
Jordan knew what she was doing. Sara was using positive reinforcement to reward behaviors and actions that she liked. Even knowing this, he couldn’t deny that it was working.
As when Sara asked the question, Jordan didn’t like how his body tensed, how he felt a sense of dread over answering incorrectly. This girl was very much his junior, yet he could feel himself being ensnared by her. As he looked up at Emily now, it was just a few months ago he could tower over her. He could remember wrapping his arms around her. Now, he couldn’t even look her in the eyes.
“He seems pretty broken up about your separation Mrs. Brooks, and I would never force Jordan here to do anything. He’s still a person and all with rights.” Sara said sweetly as she smiled at her professor. She then turned around and started walking toward her friends. “Oh, I’m sorry. We were done right, Mrs. Brooks?”
“Yes, you can go ahead and take your seat, Sara.” Mrs. Brooks said as Jordan shifted about Sara’s hand briefly before lifting him with her thumb and pointer finger, which she slid underneath his armpits. She then used her free hand to pull her sweater away before tucking him into the sweater.
“Girls, you will never believe this. I just found out who Mrs. Hottie is.” Sara said as she neared Chloe and Ellie.
“Mrs. Hottie?” Ellie asked as she eyed Jordan tucked into Sara’s uniform.
“It’s like you don’t even check our chat in a snap?” Chloe said to Ellie. “So, are you going to spill or what?”
“Mrs. Hottie is Body Hottie’s ex, and his ex is Mrs. Brooks. Get this, when she heard about the outbreak, she couldn’t get ahold of Body Hottie, so she went to his house.” Sara said as Jordan helplessly clung to her sweater as his life became the topic of their gossip.
“She tried to get me to give her Body Hottie as if I was incapable of taking care of him. This is the happiest he’s been in his life. Just this morning, he was such a sweetheart and helped me as best he could with my makeup and hair. He loves being my little prince.
