With the others gone and Rachel not trying to get out, you once again settle down to doing your homework, with Rachel's help at times. The help is definitely helpful and so you offer to help her with hers. "Why bother?" Rachel asks, "Your perverted appetite is going to digest me and I will never see it graded."
"Don't get your hopes up." you counter, "I have not managed to digest you yet, and may not be able to. So you are likely going to have to do the homework, or suffer." Rachel argues the point some more, but eventually the two of you start on her homework. But as you do, you start to wonder...
Rachel seems to be sulking. Now granted, having to do her homework is cause for sulking for any student, but it seems like she has been sulking such you mentioned you might not be digesting her. Does she actually want to be digested? That sounds absurd, and she has denied it as well as frequently attacked you for swallowing her. But ...
Her protests have been too strong, too weak, or too at odds with her actions. Right now she is in your belly and will be staying there for a record amount of time. That is probably safe, and being inside seems to be quite enjoyable, but it is only probably safe. By Monday, she might just be calories, and she knows she can make up an excuse to get out. But she didn't. She just has not resisted being digested. Nor has she resisted being eaten. Instead she has been within reach to be eaten and making no resistance. Even if she argues that you could have overcome any resistance, she can't really deny she made it easy for you. She really seems to be willing to be food.
...Or is she? After all, you are doing the judging here, and you are not an unbiased judge. Far from it. You want her in your belly, and much as you would like to deny it, that has got to mean digesting her eventually. But you don't want to hurt her either. That may not make much sense, but you still don't want to hurt her. Which means you have lots of reason to insist she wants to be digested. You are not an unbiased judge. Not at all.
But who is better qualified? Rachel is going to deny she has any such intention, whether she does or not. How can you really know the proper answer here? "What is the answer?"
"Huh?" you intelligently reply.
"I'm stumped on that one." Rachel admits, "What does the book say is correct?"
Oh yeah, You had been going over the text with Rachel and had asked her a question. What was it? You quickly look at the text and with a little work, you can find the question, and then the answer. A pity it is not the answer to the question you really want to ask, but right now you are scared to ask that.
Time passes and Ria returns, a quite different and happy Ria. You are used to a Ria that was just a friend, one that was furious with you, one that was resigned to being your food, and now you have one that slips onto your lap [what little that is not occupied by Rachel, that is] and rubs against you, showing no worries about you swallowing her as she gives you a welcoming kiss. Quite a change.
Rachel notices it too, "why are you being so friendly to this pervert? He's going to use you for his own pleasure."
"Oh Poo," Ria retorts, "He has been very nice to me."
"Do you have Stockholm syndrome?" Rachel challenges, "That pervert has done nothing but take advantage of you."
Rachel can't see Ria tossing her hair and then hugging you [as much as she can with that big stomach in the way]. "Well, I am finding it very enjoyable now." You keep quite as they continue to argue. All too much chance they will attack you if you butt in. Besides you are rather confused too. What caused this change? Not that you object, but ... Well, you have heard that girls take sex a lot more seriously than boys do. And you did take her cherry. So maybe she is in love with you? Sounds reasonable, sorta anyway.
"Well anyway," Ria breaks off to address you, "We need to plan how to deal with your supper. Do you think Laura and I should grab her so you can just gobble her down? Or should we see if she is going to be reasonable?"
"It is not reasonable to let this pervert eat you." Rachel breaks in.
"You aren't reasonable either." Ria retorts before turning back to you, "But I suppose she has a point. Still, I would prefer that we try talking to her first. We can get forceful later if we need to."
As you consider this, Laura walks in, with another lass following her, a young girl with lovely brown hair and a figure that you suspect other girls would deem fat, tho that is definitely not what you would call it, not at all. Her short stature and air of innocence suggests a young age, and possible membership in the genius scholarship program and the Star of David bouncing between those substantial breasts also argues she may be quite bright. She looks quite friendly.
"This is Inbal," Laura introduces her, "And that is Algie and Ria. And that big lump is Rachel."
