Kristin continued to stare at Carl, her eyes narrowing a little, as if she was considering something.
"Sarah and Laura. Right?" She raised her eyebrows quizzically at the student. "Sarah Phillips?"
Carl nodded at her, his pulse racing as he kept hoping that she would just say that she would deal with it all, and that he had nothing to worry about it. Well, that was what he hoped, at least.
"Carl, we seem to have a problem here," Kristin sighed, almost in frustration with Carl, as though he had been difficult or obstinate in some way. "You see, Sarah's parents make a VERY generous contribution to this college. If something, or someone, were to upset her...let's just say that's a risk I'm not willing to take."
Carl's mouth hung open; he could not believe what he was hearing!
Kristin's mouth twitched into a slight smirk. "In a way, you should feel honoured - privileged even - that a beautiful, rich, wonderful asset to this college has chosen you! Not only is she the most popular girl in the college, she's an amazing head cheerleader too! She actually drums up a sizeable amount of revenue with the attention she brings from your fellow students, as well as those from other colleges!
A trickle of despair engulfed Carl's insides. Not only was no sympathy or help being offered, but he was being made to be foolish for even reporting this to the Dean!
"Frankly Carl," Kristin continued. "You've got two real options here: the smart choice, which is to accept your place as a slave to the cheerleaders. The other, less desirable option, is to try leaving this college. Believe me - your record can be...filled out appropriately...if you were to leave and risk upsetting Miss Phillips and her parents."
Was this really happening? If the College Dean herself would not help him, was it best just to accept his role as the cheerleader team's foot slave...it could be a hell of a lot worse! Plus, getting to spend time with Sarah and a lot of inevitably hot other girls...a lot of guys would kill for that! Then again, the idea of being a slave - to girls' feet - was so demeaning, so humiliating...
"Carl, I need an answer from you now. It's important that I know what your decision is, in case I need to make any...contingency plans. And before you tell me," she quickly added, "I will be checking up with Miss Phillips regularly."
Carl gulped...whatever he said here, Sarah would know about it. Could he possibly risk his record and therefore, education and future career by defying the Dean...?
