You manage to work another knot loose and tug at your bondage, but it doesn't budge at all! There must be knots upon knots upon knots back there. You sigh heavily through your nose and drift quickly off to sleep.
Knocking at your door jars you awake, and you shift about achingly in your hogtie. You're rested, but not comfortably! Your whole body is stiff, and your face and tie-gag are soaked with drool, but somehow your limbs haven't fallen asleep. Those imps must really know their knots.
You hear the door open behind you followed by a short gasp and a familiar voice.
"Oh my gosh Kevin! Have you been here all morning?"
It's Becky, one of your cute and infinitely more humane classmates. You struggle vigorously and tell her to untie you, but the gag turns it all to nonsense.
Becky closes the door behind her and rushes over, loosening your gag and pulling it out of your mouth. You work your sore jaw and try to spit away some of the accumulated saliva.
"Laura, I bet." says Becky, starting to undo the knots on your feet and toes. "That explains why she had an even more evil grin than usual all through Elemental Magics this morning."
"Ugh! I've been here since before lights out!" You groan. "And there were imps!"
Becky shudders. "Your feet are bright red! They must have tickled you non-stop!"
"What a demon Laura is," Becky says, undoing your hogtie and working at your wrist bondage. "Someone really needs to teach her a lesson!"
"I know," you say. "But she's so good at magic. I'll never be able to beat her, especially if I keep missing classes!"
"Eeeecch," says Becky.
"Was Professor Ualn mad?" You ask, wincing.
"He said a mage that favors sleeping late over studying will never amount to anything."
You curse.
"And he said you'll probably fail the test this Thursday, we covered a lot of defensive stuff today."
"Ack! The Earth Control exam! I can't fail that! I'll have to take it twice!" You moan.
Free of the ad-hoc impish bondage, you rub at your joints and stretch your back.
"What time is it?" You ask.
"Free period, for the next half hour or so." Says Becky. "If you wanted, I could show you some of the stuff we learned today down in the East Solarium."
You cringe slightly, Becky is nice and everything, but she's an even more inept spell-caster than you are. Still, the test is in a few days, and second-hand lessons from Becky are probably better than no lessons at all.
Of course, you might be able to explain things to Professor Ualn and maybe beg him to give you some quick tutoring. But the professor doesn't have the kindest reputation.
