Well... this brings back really awkward fantasies about my self rightous English teachers. Anyways, good stuff as always.

So Ms. Evans is teacher for English and history. Her personal history that is. She can teach Tom a lot of things.
We also can tell that this is not Ms. Evans first time don't this especially when she mentions that they are part of her "throne."
Tom is right. Why stand up when you are just going to get embarrassed? If everyone sees you, then they make fun of you. Tom likes his position anyway. Might want to sleep there too. Ha.
When Tom said "snapped like a twig", was he referring to his boner, or his whole body? If it's his boner, that just sounds awful. Not that snapping his body is any less awful, but snapping a boner in half just sounds more cruel.
Wow, Tom must have good taste buds! He tasted fabric softener, leather, and perfume-enhanced sweat all from just one lick? That's talent.
So what exactly DOES Tom do during lunch? If he can't do certain things and needs for help, does he actually do it on other days, or is he making fun of what he could do?
I really like her passion for language and reasons for teaching English. She likes to read and I assume writing as well and it suits her.
Most important tool is our word? Hmm. That's debatable, but since she is an English teacher, it makes sense.
That truth part came out of nowhere, but I can tell that this "word" and "language" thing had to connect to Tom's current position. That connection seems to be: Word-truth-liars-Tom.
She takes this word thing way too far. It's the "world around us", our "sacrament", "gifts". She defiantely got carried away. Tom probably didn't understand it.
Ms. Evans molests people who molest the truth. That's sound accurate. And she protects the truth by sitting on them? This is kinda funny. I think she's making all this stuff up just to scare Tom. Also, she probably sits on them for other reasons....yeah.
That second to last paragraph was awesome. The way she tugged on his feet so his head gets dragged under her butt. That's a creative idea.
Good chapter, it shows us Ms. Evans intentions on smothering Tom. We learned about her past and how often she uses this method of 'teaching'.
I guess lunch time is next chapter, and I can't wait for the next one!
Author's Response:
He was referring to his boner. Not literally, of course, but it was a though that crossed his mind.
Tom can normally avoid lying enough at least to get his own lunch, but today he's not doing so well.
Regardless of whether or not Ms. Evans has gone too far, she definitely believes everything she's saying.
Thanks for reading. Lunch is next up, yep.

What does she plan to do? Sit on him until the end of the school day? And then what; take him home with her if he still hasn't re-enlarged enough?
New World Order or not, that's still kidnapping. And, that's just plain wrong!*
*Good Lord! I've contracted Tomspeedyitis.
Author's Response:
She can't necessarily kidnap him, you're right, but there's still plenty of gray area here that her colleagues or students would be willing to turn a blind eye to.

Ms Evans trying to wear the mask of a decent intelligent human being.
Author's Response:
In this world, she's not much different than the standard of decent.
