Chapter 12

Emmett was sitting in Professor Silver’s office when the man entered and pushed the door closed. It took a lot to scare Emmett, but he was pretty damn worried right about then, with the way the man was pacing and rubbing his beard. “We need to talk to about your midterm.”

Emmett went rigid. What problem could there be with his midterm? He’d understood all the questions and knew the answers. Maybe he garbled up some of his words because of his dyslexia, but Professor Silver was generally understanding about that.

“Did you even read Measure for Measure?”

“I watched the play.”

“Emmett, we’ve been over this. Even if you watch the play, you need to read along to be sure you understand it.”

The truth was…well, there was a bit more to the story. Emmett had missed some of the action of the play because Jake had distracted him. By sucking his cock. And Emmett had meant to go back and watch the parts he’d missed, but he got distracted again. By sucking Jake’s cock.

There had been a lot of that going on, sucking and fucking and touching each other all the time. And with as much reading as Emmett had to do, yeah, he’d taken a few shortcuts. Like listening to audio textbooks while he was doing other things. So sure, he could understand if maybe he’d missed a few things. But he thought he’d written good essay answers about Measure for Measure.

“So what was the problem, exactly?” he asked.

Professor Silver shook his head. “You answered all questions as if the Duke were the villain.”

“He is. He shirked his responsibilities and let the whole town go to hell.”

“Emmett, the Duke is the hero. Angelo is the villain. Whatever you may think about the Duke’s actions, he’s the one who saves the day in the end, and Angelo is exposed as a criminal.”

“None of those crimes would have happened if the Duke had stepped in sooner. He had the power all along, and he was playing mind games with people.”

“Angelo tried to coerce a nun into having sex with him in return for his sparing her brother’s life. How is that on par with the Duke playing mind games?”

Emmett sat back and stared at the ceiling. Admittedly, he had paid more attention to the fact that the Duke allowed people to rot in jail under Angelo’s tyranny than he had to the whole “seducing a nun” thing.

“You know,” the professor continued, “if you hadn’t missed class the day we discussed the significance of Angelo and Isabella, you might have had an easier time with the midterm.”

“It’s the only class I’ve missed all semester.”

“Then maybe that underscores the importance of your coming to class.”

Emmett crossed his arms. “When do you want me to take the exam over?”

“There are no do-overs here. This has nothing to do with your dyslexia. You screwed up. You got a C– on the exam, only because you aced the questions on Othello and Merchant of Venice. That brings your average down to a B–.
