Learn My Lesson Katee Robert Novels & Stories

ELEANOR "So, what did you learn in school today, little moon?" Mom asked, brushing out Kate’s curls with gentle fingers. Kate beamed, her legs kicking as she sat between us on the couch. "We learned to draw shapes and spell our names! Miss Ava said I write my K funny but I still got star." "Of course you did," I said, pressing a kiss to her cheek. "You’re the brightest star in that school." She giggled and leaned against me, holding up her drawing like it was a prized artifact. I reached for it and smiled softly, letting the moment wrap around me like a blanket. Kate’s laughter. Mom’s hum of approval. The way the fading evening light spilled across the living room floor.

"She is that. Any more questions?" "Not at the moment." "Enjoy your day," Marta said, leaving the room. Red came in alone a short time later. "Good morning, Rob." "Good morning, Red." "I need your guidance before we start today." "My guidance?" Rob asked. "Yes. You are to learn some ways of pleasing a woman today. Specifically, Kitten. I prefer to teach by demonstration. I can demonstrate using Kitten or, as I did with anal, I can use Black. Which would you prefer?"

The painless abortion did not hurt at all. The moment the anesthetic took effect and I was laid on the operating table, exhaustion pulled me under. Within seconds, I slipped into a heavy, dreamless sleep. Just before consciousness faded completely, I heard the doctor sigh. "She looks so glamorous on the surface, but she's actually pitiful." A nurse let out a dismissive laugh. "Pitiful? What's there to pity? The person who isn't loved in a marriage is the real mistress. Annie stole Lilian's love. She's getting exactly what she deserves."

Little Minerva glanced towards Kate. Kate moved towards her and sat before her on her knees, “Yes sweetheart. I am.” “So that makes you my Luna?” She asked innocently. “No sweetheart. That makes me your friend.” “Would you teach me how to make Vanilla Shampoo?” “Aunt Hazel is an expert on shampoos. Let’s leave this skill for her. But I can teach you something else.” “And what’s that?” “I will teach you to become a warrior, I guess!” Damian lifted Minerva and helped Kate to stand up.

The students looked at where the contemporary teacher was looking. When they saw that it was Kate, they shook their heads in unison. It seemed that Kate was a really bad omen for today's teacher. Kate knows that she is the one being mentioned, so as her eyes moved, she finally stood up to introduce herself. "I'm Kate Prili, an exchange student from Alaska, sir." Kate's cold introduction piqued the contemporary teacher's interest even more, as his eyes lit up as he finally said

* * * * On Monday Catherine went to school, during her first lesson which was English, she sat down at her chair and waited for the teacher to come in. Kisa and her friends walked in and she sat down beside Catherine. Catherine glanced at her and dropped her gaze back to her book, she doesn't want trouble and the few times she got to speak with her has always been trouble. She wished to graduate from RHS with a clean record but the more Kisa keeps taunting her the more it became difficult for her to adhere to her own rules.

Deep seated anger was growing in me and my ego was fueling it. This is where my friend kelly comes in. She has been my day one bae, after I came here. She helped me enroll into school and get a house. When I told her about it, she convinced me to teach him a lesson that would last him a lifetime. Bittered and vengeful me, I agreed without thinking.

“What are you talking about?” “Oh, Cams, you’re always so logical—and then you walk around collecting sighs.” “I think you’re exaggerating, as usual. Maybe he’s thinking about asking me for the homework.” “Or maybe he’s thinking about asking you for private lessons…” I looked at Kate with wide eyes, which made her laugh harder than I expected, drawing attention. “Am I interrupting, Miss Cooper?” Professor Chapman asked. “Sorry, Professor,” Kate said without much conviction. She pretended to return to her notes, and when the teacher turned back around, she leaned toward me and whispered, “Admit it—that idea didn’t bother you at all.”

“Layla freaking Brooks.” Laughter erupted, and I covered my face, cheeks hot. “She came into this office quietly, like she was afraid to take up space. And now? She’s about to take The Fold by storm. So, yes, I made a slideshow. And yes, I included that one photo from the Halloween party.” Groans. Laughter. Someone yelled, “The cat ears!”

Kate looked at Loraine seriously, and it seemed like Loraine didn't expect those glances. "W-Well, you see, it's just a sudden thing. I borrowed him a flash drive for tomorrow's lessons. I forgot to take it at school earlier, and I just arrived here, hahaha," Loraine explained. Kate then looked at me, and I nodded at her. "She's telling the truth. So, what are you going to do about it? Are you too jealous?" I teased her, but I saw the sadness in her eyes, and here I was, feeling a pain in my chest again.
