The Final Exam
|
|
By Ben
|
|
|
|
The exam was going to be really difficult, I knew, as I walked into the
|
|
room. Math has never come easy for me, and Algebra is quite possibly the
|
|
worst experience of my entire life. No matter how hard I study, no matter
|
|
what amount of time I spend in preparation, I just freeze when I take
|
|
Algebra tests. I am lucky to have a C- average. Lucky that Clara sits
|
|
across from me. Clara got me through the first two tests, although
|
|
without her knowledge or consent. At least without her consent, I did get
|
|
a glare from her at the end of each test. But this test was the big one,
|
|
the final exam, and so last night I worked like I have never worked before
|
|
to prepare. Do or die. Get a D or F, kiss off Engineering school, or
|
|
Business, or any technical field.
|
|
|
|
I walked to my desk, and was surprised to see Clara looking at me. The
|
|
smart girls didn't usually take an interest in a cretin like me. "Hi", I
|
|
said politely. "Hello, are you ready for the test?", she said brightly.
|
|
"Yeah, as ready as I'm going to be", I said, trying to be polite. "Well,
|
|
it should be pretty easy...if you studied", she chirped. "I studied all
|
|
night", I said, with hardly any politeness at all.
|
|
|
|
We both sat down, Mr. Black passed out the exams, and I started to work.
|
|
First one, a simple linear equation, child's play, I thought to myself. I
|
|
solved it quickly, and went on to a graphing problem. Easy. I was going
|
|
to pass, I thought exuberantly. About half way through the test, I hit
|
|
the story problems, and I hit a big wall. Sure, they looked similar to
|
|
the ones I had solved last night, but they were different, and I just
|
|
couldn't work them out. Shit! Maybe Clara...No, not this time, I was
|
|
determined to work out the problems. Two people are driving at identical
|
|
speeds, OK, let X equal their speeds. They start 50 miles apart. After a
|
|
half an hour, one of them stops for 5 minutes. OK, let X be his distance.
|
|
Wait a second, I already used X. Oh, shit! Well, I have to write down
|
|
something, so I do. Maybe I'll get partial credit, I think. Clara?...NO!
|
|
|
|
I do the last three problems, sort of, but on the last problem, something
|
|
to do with Mary's age being twice Ralph's, which is three years older than
|
|
Mary was when Ralph was two times Connie's age when Mary COULD EAT SHIT
|
|
AND DIE; I am not going to solve this problem. No way. I look over at
|
|
Clara, and she is looking at me! She turns away quickly. I try to look
|
|
at her paper, but she has her hand in the way. Dammit! Why won't she let
|
|
me look? I wait patiently, wait for her to open her hand, and she finally
|
|
does, and either she wrote really light or there is nothing there, but
|
|
before I can be sure she puts her damn hand back! Shit! She puts out the
|
|
whole year, and on the last test, nothing! Fuck! I write down something,
|
|
maybe some partial credit, I think grimly. Mr. Black collects the tests
|
|
and I take solace in the fact that I like french fries, and a career in
|
|
the fast food industry could be for me.
|
|
|
|
Next exam, Science, not a problem. I breeze through it. Aced it, I
|
|
think, as I fantasize my future Nobel prize. "You are to report to the
|
|
office", says Mr. Bunson, my Science teacher. "Why?" "I don't know", he
|
|
says. I walk to the office trying to think of what I have done lately
|
|
that would require such a trip. Forgotten library book? No, I've never
|
|
been to the library. White out on the Spanish teacher's statue of
|
|
Montezuma. No, nobody saw me do that one. What could it be?
|
|
|
|
I enter the office and Ms. Goritan, says "Go right in", I am to see the
|
|
principal. What is going on? I walk into the office, and it seems I am
|
|
the last to come to this particular party. To my utter surprise, standing
|
|
before me is the Principal Mr. Dillon, my math teacher Mr. Black, and
|
|
Clara! What the hell is going on? "Benjamin, do you know why we are
|
|
here?", says Mr. Dillon. For the first time, I see the paddle laying on
|
|
his desk. "No", I say weakly. "Do you know anything about any CHEATING
|
|
on a math test?", said Mr. Black derisively. How could they know? And
|
|
why bring it up today? My mind was numb from final exams and this
|
|
incredible meeting. "I don't know what you mean?", I say with as much
|
|
confidence as I can muster, but I'm sure I look guilty as hell. "Well,
|
|
you and Clara ended up with the same answers on some of the problems on
|
|
the exam, the same WRONG answers", says Mr. Black.
|
|
|
|
I'm dumbfounded. I didn't cheat. I thought about it. I even tried to
|
|
look. But I didn't do it. Not knowing what to say, I look at Clara, and
|
|
she looks scared, really scared, and then, like a thunderbolt, the truth
|
|
hits me! CLARA COPIED OFF MY PAPER! SHIT! "I have seen this before Mr.
|
|
Dillon.", continued Mr. Black, "On the last two tests, these students also
|
|
had a couple identical wrong answers, I was suspicious, but I wasn't sure
|
|
until today. Now, I'm sure, one of them is cheating!" He was wrong, both
|
|
of us were cheating, but what do I do, what do I say? "Anyone want to
|
|
admit anything? Hmmm?" Clara and I just stare at each other. She is
|
|
really scared, no question. "I think it's him", says Mr. Black, pointing
|
|
at me. "Did he look at your paper Clara?", asks the principal. "No, uh,
|
|
I don't know", says Clara, and she starts to cry. "I KNOW IT'S HIM",
|
|
yells Mr. Black. What do I do? "No!", I finally say.
|
|
|
|
"Mr. Black, I'll find your cheater for you. Or...I'll call you when I'm
|
|
finished", says Mr. Dillon. Mr. Black walks out of the room shaking his
|
|
head. Mr. Dillon turns back to us. "Benjamin, come here", he says
|
|
lifting the paddle. "Stand there", he says and he hands me the paddle!!!
|
|
"Clara, bend over", he says, "Now Benjamin, I want you to spank Clara"
|
|
"But Mr Dillon..." "Son, spank her, and make it hard" "Clara has tears
|
|
running down her cheeks, but she obeys the principal, and bends over. She
|
|
is not at all bad looking, for a smart girl. Her thin waist yields to
|
|
gently sloping hips and a very nice rump. Bent over, her bottom looks
|
|
round and tight. "Start now, Benjamin!", says my principal. WHACK! I
|
|
slap her butt with the big paddle, but pretty easily. "Again, but harder"
|
|
WHACK! I slap her bottom again. Clara is crying, but I don't think its
|
|
from the paddling, I have barely touched her. "OK, switch places,
|
|
Benjamin, bend over". So that's it. We are going to spank each other. I
|
|
hand her the paddle.
|
|
|
|
"Clara, begin, and make them hard" Clara gives me a mild spank.
|
|
"HARDER!" Clara swats a little harder, but my butt is undamaged. In
|
|
fact, the feeling is sort of erotic. And then WHACK! My butt is on fire!
|
|
Mr. Dillon had grabbed the paddle from Clara, and was showing her how to
|
|
do it. Tears are welling up in my eyes. "Now you take over again Clara,
|
|
and if you don't swat him hard enough, I'll give you the next swat.
|
|
WHACK! It was harder, she put some force behind it, but it was almost a
|
|
relief after Mr. Dillon's swat. "OK, stand up Benjamin. Clara, remove
|
|
your pants", and Mr. Dillon grabs the paddle from her. Clara resumes
|
|
crying but complies. "Take them all the way off. Now bend over" Clara
|
|
bends over, and my principal brings the paddle back and gives her a
|
|
terrific swat. WHACK! "Owwww", cries Clara, and I know exactly how she
|
|
feels, my butt is still burning.
|
|
|
|
"Benjamin, remove your pants" I do this, and he says, "Now does anyone
|
|
want to admit cheating on the Math final?" Clara wants to tell, I can
|
|
tell she wants to come clean, but the words just won't come from her
|
|
mouth, she just stares at the paddle. "OK, give each other three swats,
|
|
and I better see some flinching or I will take over, and you don't want
|
|
that. Benjamin, you first" I bend over, Clara is handed the paddle, and
|
|
she begins. WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! The swats are harder, much harder
|
|
than before, but still not as hard as my principals. "Not bad, you'll
|
|
only get one from me" WHACK! And my butt explodes in pain. "Owww", I
|
|
cry in pain, a couple tears dripping down my face. "OK Clara, take his
|
|
place" Clara looks at me, her face pleading with me to take it easy on
|
|
her, but not too easy. She is really quite pretty, I decide. And when
|
|
she bends over again, the sides of her bottom cheeks escape her panties.
|
|
Very nice. But this is not the time for niceness, its a time to get Clara
|
|
to confess to copying off me! I bring the paddle way back and WHACK!
|
|
"Nooo", Clara cries out. WHACK! "Ohhhh" WHACK! "OhhhNooo" Clara
|
|
stands up, and her face is wet from tears, and she gives me the dirtiest
|
|
look...
|
|
|
|
"OK, anybody ready to confess yet?" Clara just glares at me. She knows
|
|
the truth, and she knows I'm next, and the look says, 'you are going to
|
|
get whacked'. "Bend over Benjamin" I do, with considerable disgust, and
|
|
Clara takes the paddle, and gives me a light WHACK! Not even as hard as
|
|
the last ones!? WHACK! WHACK! "No, that won't do Clara" WHHHACCCKKK!
|
|
"Yeooww" WHHHAAACCKK! "Owwwwwww" WHHHAACCCCK! My principal repeats my
|
|
three swats, and my butt is burning, and probably very bruised, and pretty
|
|
Clara is drying her tears, and looking coldly at me. "Anybody want to
|
|
confess yet?" She just glares at me and sniffles, I guess I have let her
|
|
down somewhere along the way.
|
|
|
|
"OK, Clara, you are next. Benjamin, give her five". Clara gasps. I am
|
|
determined to punish her. I pull back the paddle, and WHACK! Clara
|
|
groans and cries anew. WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! I give her five of
|
|
the best swats she has ever taken, and she is crying piteously. "Switch"
|
|
WHACK! Clara barely swats me and I know I am going to lose the game. No
|
|
matter how hard I paddle her, she is going to swat me lightly, and let Mr.
|
|
Dillon finish the job, and I am no match for that. So I confess to
|
|
cheating. "Why didn't you say something sooner Benjamin?", says my
|
|
principal. "Because, I think she cheated off me all year", I say, "and I
|
|
thought I was entitled to copy off her paper on the final" "Did you?",
|
|
says Mr. Dillon to Clara, holding the paddle menacingly. "Yes", she says
|
|
between tears, surprising me with her lie. "Well then I think this worked
|
|
out pretty even", said Mr. Dillon, and Clara and I both agreed.
