4.

The next day, Iris showed up at the library at 8am sharp. She almost never really thought much about clothing, but she spent forever deciding what to wear. She had only seen the librarian, Ms Rai that once, but she could tell that she was the kind of woman who was always immaculately dressed. And for some reason, after they previous day’s adventure in the shower, Iris felt that she should wear more conservative clothes, as if somehow that might insulate her from her temptations.

The library wasn’t open yet, which made sense, since the students wouldn’t really be on campus in numbers until later, so Iris stood outside the huge gorgeous wooden doors in the most conservative thing she owned. It was a long heavy burgundy dress that had a high neckline and went nearly to her ankles. It wasn’t fancy at all, but it wasn’t something she would ordinarily wear. Because the weather was already a bit chilly, she also put on a pair of black tights. She thought she looked basic and uninteresting, which was kind of the goal of course, but for some reason she didn’t feel happy about that.

Her self-consciousness redoubled when she saw Principal Lee and Ms Rai come in the door and walk down the hallway. Principal Lee had opened the door for her and so when Ms Rai came in, it was like the whole hallway had been set up as a stage for her entrance. Above dangerously high high heels and the most incredible calves, she was wearing a flowing grey skirt. Her sweater was black and coiled with a turtleneck so loose it nearly showed her entire right shoulder. But it was her face that Iris couldn’t look away from. Where she couldn’t tell in the poor light yesterday, she could see that Ms Rai’s dark skin was flawless. The lines of her face were angular, and almost severe, but shockingly beautiful, and her hair lay loose down just a little lower than her shoulders in effortless perfection. She could have been a model if she wanted to, and she walked toward Iris with a purposeful step, heels clacking on the floor.

“Iris, good morning!” Principal Lee said, causing Iris to jump. She had nearly forgotten him, and certainly didn’t see him walking next to that tall dark goddess.

“Ah! Uh, hello, Principal Lee, ah... Ms Rai...”

Ms. Rai nodded in greeting.

“Well, I know you have a lot of exciting work to do, so I’ll just let you get to it. I do hope that you’ll keep lunch open for me though. I’d like to get to know our new graduate student before the crush of the new semester takes away all of our free time.”

For a second, Iris didn’t react. Her eyes were still locked on Ms Rai, and she didn’t understand that he was waiting for a reply.

“Oh, lunch? Yes, of course. I eat. I... I’ll... um... Let’s...”

Ms Rai threw a heavy glance as Principal Lee and raised her delicately sculpted eyebrow.

He laughed kindly.
