"My father is Albert Terry, he's Dominant, and my mother was Ruth Terry, Submissive." 

"Was?" Lucy repeated, glancing up at me as she ceased in typing. "I'm very sorry, did she pass away recently?" 

"When I was about six years old, so, not that recently, no." I informed her, and she smiled sadly, a sympathetic look in her eyes as she turned back to face her computer, most likely no longer knowing what to say. 

"Eye color and hair color. Natural, so, you can't say purple." She grinned, and I returned it shyly before speaking my answer. 

"My eyes are usually gray, but, they change to blue or to green as well... and my natural hair color is brunette." 

"Okay, good, thank you. Now, last question," She announced, though it should have been a relief, it was not, as it meant the question I was dreading now had to be answered. "Your status. Are you Dominant or Submissive?" 

I was silent, it wasn't as much that I was trying to figure it out, I was rather sure I was Submissive, it was just that I didn't want to accept the fact that I was finally old enough to have to make this decision. 

"Do you not know what you are? If so, I can give you a moment-" 

"No," I interrupted her, giving a light smile. "It's fine, I know what I am. Submissive." 

"Alright, good. I'm just going to do a quick background check to make sure you're actually a real person and not just an alias, and also to find a picture of you," She smirked, before clicking rapidly at the computer, silent for only mere seconds. "Yes, here you are. Okay, I can print your card and you'll be good." 

She typed a few more things before clicking at the computer, then the machine beside her laptop whirred to life and began to print out what I could only assume was my DSS/D Card. 

Once it was finished, she took it out of the machine and slid it across the table to me, smiling as I took it in my hands and peered down at it.

Beside it was a rather recent picture, taken this year, that Lucy had obviously found online, and luckily it was a picture that I enjoyed the way I looked in, even though I preferred to have my glasses on, yet I did not in this photo. 

"Everything good with it, spelling is all okay? Did I pick a nice photo?" She inquired, and I nodded my head, glancing up at her. 

"Yes, everything's good, thank you." I told her, climbing to my feet and shouldering my purse, my eyes flickering down to the card in my hand once more. 

"Alright, perfect. Have a good day, Ms. Terry." 

Nodding in response, I turned and exited her office, walking down the hall as I was still examining the card in my hands, at least until I walked straight into someone, almost being knocked back if it weren't for them grabbing me. 

"Really, Colleen? Again? You really need to watch where you're going." David teased, and I gave him an amused look before stepping back out of his hold. 

Noticing the card in my hand, David snatched it, ignoring my exclamation of 'hey!' as he held it above my reach and peered at it, reading over my information despite my attempts to get it back from his possession. 

"Ooh, what's this?" He taunted, grinning at my pathetic attempts to get back my card. "Sweet little Colleen is a Submissive, I would have never guessed. Too nice and sweet, just way too kind to be a Dominant, I suppose." 

In response to him thinking I was 'nice' and 'sweet', I punched him in the stomach, though, my punch was weak and I didn't think I would be able to hurt him. 

I know I didn't hurt him, but, David still feigned pain and doubled over, allowing me to snatch the card from his hand, causing me to grin as I knew that he knew very well what I was attempting to accomplish by doing that. 

"You have a weak punch, Sub." He told me, and I crossed my arms, sticking my tongue out at him before pulling out my wallet and tucking my card safely inside of it, before replacing it back into the confines of my bag. 

"Don't test me, Dom," I snapped, reaching up to tuck a strand of purple hair behind my ears, before pushing my glasses up the bridge of my nose with my middle finger, causing him to laugh. "Now, I'd like to quickly stop by the library." 

"Then our date, yes?" David questioned excitedly, to which I rolled my eyes, though I couldn't help the smile that spread across my lips. 

"Yeah, sure, whatever. Let's just go." 

I turned to leave, leaving David to wave goodbye to the secretary that was still completely ignoring us, before he followed me out the door.
