Smoking Can Damage Your Bottom!
|
|
|
|
Stonegrove Public School had admitted only boys for nearly all
|
|
of its proud centuries old history. But last year the
|
|
headmaster, Mr Grahame, and the board of governors had decided
|
|
to allow the sixth form in order to study for their 'A'
|
|
Levels.
|
|
|
|
There were now twenty girls at the school, split between three
|
|
dormitories. And now that, three weeks after the beginning of
|
|
term, the initial strangeness had worn off and the girls were
|
|
no longer the subject of quite such intense curiosity on the
|
|
part of the boys, they were beginning to settle in.
|
|
|
|
One Monday morning Mr Freeman, the mathematics master,
|
|
returning from a weekend spent with relatives, was surprised
|
|
to see a young lady, wearing the Stonegrove uniform, entering
|
|
a sweetshop in the local village. He checked his watch. It was
|
|
definitely lesson time. He decided to follow her into the shop
|
|
and ascertain whether she had leave or if she was playing
|
|
truant. If so he intended to give her a firm lecture on the
|
|
importance of school rules and to escort her back to school
|
|
immediately.
|
|
|
|
But when he entered the shop he was just in time to see the
|
|
girl being served with a packet of cigarettes! This was much
|
|
more serious! He recognised her as Caroline Trevlyn, one of
|
|
his sixth form maths set.
|
|
|
|
"Hand over those cigarettes immediately, Caroline!" he
|
|
ordered, to the surprise of the young girl assistant, the only
|
|
other customer and, most of all to Caroline. The girl was at
|
|
first too shocked to respond. Then, blushing furiously, she
|
|
stammered: "Oh, sir. They're not for me! I was buying them for
|
|
a present to take home in the holidays!"
|
|
|
|
It sounded weak even to Caroline herself. She had said the
|
|
first thing that had come into her head because she knew just
|
|
how serious it was to be caught buying cigarettes.
|
|
|
|
"All right. You can make your excuses to Mr Grahame back at
|
|
the school. Now just give me the packet and come back with me.
|
|
No arguments. You shouldn't be off the school premises at
|
|
all!"
|
|
|
|
As the teacher and the seventeen year old left the customer
|
|
turned to the shop assistant and remarked "I'm glad I'm not in
|
|
that young lady's shoes!"
|
|
|
|
"Yes, rather!" relied the shop girl, "I remember what happened
|
|
to me when I was caught with cigarettes at my old school! And
|
|
she was out of bounds as well!" As she spoke the girl's left
|
|
hand moved to the seat of her jeans and rubbed it
|
|
reminiscently.
|
|
|
|
As they made their way back to the school Caroline begged Mr
|
|
Freeman not to report her to the headmaster. But he knew that
|
|
he had no choice in the circumstances.
|
|
|
|
"You'll be hearing from Mr Grahame later today," he said.
|
|
|
|
Back at school Caroline told her friends what had happened
|
|
when she had a chance in morning break. Several other girls
|
|
had known that she had been planning an illicit visit to the
|
|
village and had, indeed, intended to share in the cigarettes.
|
|
So there was a great deal of sympathy for Caroline for having
|
|
been unfortunate enough to be caught.
|
|
|
|
But there was also a great deal of speculation in the girls'
|
|
common room, when Caroline was not present, as to the nature
|
|
of her punishment! Some of the girls thought that she might
|
|
get the cane.
|
|
|
|
"Look," said Margaret Collins, "my brother got six of the best
|
|
from Mr Grahame for smoking last year and there's nothing in
|
|
the prospectuses or the school rules that says anything about
|
|
girls being punished any different to boys! I think our little
|
|
Carrie is going to get herself a sore bum. I'm sorry for her,
|
|
of course, but there it is.'
|
|
|
|
"Oh, come on,' said Marie Hardman, nervously, 'you're having
|
|
us on! You can't seriously think that Grahame can cane our
|
|
bottoms. It's obscene! They just haven't had time to revise
|
|
the school rules properly, that's all!"
|
|
|
|
"Maybe he'll get Mrs Fisher to do it for him!" suggested
|
|
Michelle Richards. A few of the assembled girls laughed. Mrs
|
|
Fisher was nearly seventy and rather frail. A caning from her
|
|
would be rather like being spanked with a feather!
|
|
|
|
Tanya Newland added her comment: "It might be on the hands. At
|
|
my old school girls could get the cane on the hands," she
|
|
said. "I never got it, though!" she added quickly, before
|
|
anyone could ask.
|
|
|
|
"Actually Mr Freeman might not even report her after all,"
|
|
speculated Kate Rolandson. "You know how good she is at maths!
|
|
She's his favourite. Perhaps he only said he was going to tell
|
|
Mr Grahame to frighten her and really he's going to let her
|
|
off with lines or detention."
|
|
|
|
"Maybe," said Margaret. "But if I was Caroline I'd put an
|
|
extra pair of panties on anyway! My brother says that Grahame
|
|
really knows how to whack!"
|
|
|
|
"Oh, stop it Margaret!" said Marie angrily, "You're being
|
|
beastly!"
|
|
|
|
"It's all right! Caroline's not here, is she? Anyway, where is
|
|
she, come to that? Maybe she's bending over in his study right
|
|
now!"
|
|
|
|
This particular theory was disproved a moment later when
|
|
Caroline entered the room. Complete silence fell and Caroline
|
|
blushed at the thought of what the girls had been talking
|
|
about.
|
|
|
|
"Have you heard anything from Mr Grahame yet,' enquired
|
|
Margaret, in a friendly manner. She was really quite friendly
|
|
with Caroline and certainly didn't want her to get the cane.
|
|
She just had a rather outspoken way with her.
|
|
|
|
"No. Nothing at all!" Caroline answered rather sharply. She
|
|
didn't want to talk about it. She had already realised that if
|
|
she was reported to the headmaster she could well be caned. It
|
|
was a terrifying prospect to her. At her old school there had
|
|
been no corporal punishment and the usual penalty for
|
|
rule-breaking was having to learn chunks of English poetry off
|
|
by heart - which she quite liked. Once she had had to write
|
|
out 200 lines which had resulted in an aching wrist. This time
|
|
she knew that she might end up with quite another part of her
|
|
anatomy aching - and rather more painfully!
|
|
|
|
For the short time remaining of morning break the girls
|
|
discussed other topics, uncomfortably aware of the presence of
|
|
the silent and worried girl anxiously waiting for the chopper
|
|
to fall.
|
|
|
|
All through the rest of the morning's classes Caroline was
|
|
distracted, expecting a prefect to come to the class at any
|
|
moment and summon her to the Head. The longer the wait, and
|
|
the uncertainty, went on, the worst she felt. But nobody came
|
|
and it was lunchtime.
|
|
|
|
Many of the girls had thought that the Head would chose the
|
|
dinner hour to 'deal with' Caroline and the tension rose to a
|
|
new peak. By now the boys had heard the rumours spreading and
|
|
poor Caroline was aware of being pointed out by one boy to
|
|
another and of their smirks and sniggers. A few nasty lads
|
|
teased her to her face, but Caroline's friends, and the other
|
|
boys put a stop to that.
|
|
|
|
The poor girl was completely unable to concentrate on lessons
|
|
that afternoon. Her mind was occupied with the prospect of the
|
|
headmaster's cane whacking down either on her hands or her
|
|
bottom. Christ! It was awful! She wondered if she should
|
|
telephone home to her parents, but she didn't know what they
|
|
would say if they knew she'd been out of bounds buying
|
|
cigarettes. Her mother, in particular, was very strict about
|
|
smoking and, in fact, Caroline's only previous real experience
|
|
of corporal punishment had been when Mrs Trevlyn had caught
|
|
her with cigarettes.
|
|
|
|
Three or four times that afternoon teachers angrily called out
|
|
to her to attract her attention, and Mr Thompson made her
|
|
stand up for the second half of the Economics class as a
|
|
reminder. Some of the class were amused, thinking that
|
|
Caroline might well have lost her last chance to sit down in
|
|
comfort, but others were beginning to wonder why she hadn't
|
|
been sent for yet.
|
|
|
|
And by the time classes were finished many pupils had come
|
|
round to Kate's opinion, that Mr Freeman hadn't really
|
|
reported Caroline at all. But Caroline herself did not dare to
|
|
hope until the bell went for bed time. Mr Freeman had said
|
|
that she would hear from the headmaster 'today'. And she
|
|
hadn't. Well just the threat of the cane had been a real
|
|
punishment - she was going to make sure that she wasn't caught
|
|
with cigarettes again!
|
|
|
|
As she changed into her pyjamas in the Luke House dormitory
|
|
Caroline was aware of an overwhelming feeling of relief.
|
|
Margaret called over to her, in jest, "I'd keep your panties
|
|
on under those jimjams, just in case!' But nobody seriously
|
|
thought that anything could happen now.
|
|
|
|
Mrs Fisher looked in as usual at ten o'clock to turn out the
|
|
lights. But this evening she stepped into the dorm and called
|
|
to Caroline.
|
|
|
|
"Caroline Trevlyn! Out of bed, girl! You've got an appointment
|
|
with Mr Grahame!"
|
|
|
|
After thinking that she had got away with it by the skin of
|
|
her teeth, the shock was many times worse. Deeply embarrassed
|
|
and scared out of her mind the girl had to climb out of bed.
|
|
|
|
"No need to get dressed, Caroline. Just put your dressing gown
|
|
and slippers on and come with me." Then Mrs Fisher turned to
|
|
the other girls.
|
|
|
|
"I'm going to leave the light on now, girls, for about a
|
|
quarter of an hour until Caroline comes back. You may talk -
|
|
but quietly! If there is any disturbance in this dormitory
|
|
some of you other girls will be joining Caroline in Mr
|
|
Grahame's study!"
|
|
|
|
The teacher and the naughty schoolgirl walked down the
|
|
corridor in grim silence. Caroline on the point of tears.
|
|
|
|
Mrs Fisher knocked on the door of the headmaster's study,
|
|
opened the door and ushered the girl in, closing the door
|
|
behind her. Caroline found herself, for the first time, alone
|
|
in the presence of her headmaster. He was a tall, powerfully
|
|
built man, with rather a charisma about him. Caroline would
|
|
have felt overawed in his presence at the best of times, and
|
|
now, with the knowledge that he had the authority to
|
|
administer an extremely humiliating punishment to her she felt
|
|
ashamed to look at him. She stood in front of his desk,
|
|
trembling slightly, and looked down towards her slippered
|
|
feet.
|
|
|
|
Mr Grahame looked at the miserable culprit for a few seconds
|
|
before speaking. Caroline Trevlyn was a pretty seventeen year
|
|
old of slightly under average height with soft features and
|
|
shoulder length russet hair. She was wearing light blue
|
|
pyjamas and a brightly patterned dressing gown. He sincerely
|
|
wished it was not necessary to inflict punishment on this
|
|
silly little girl, but it was necessary. Finally he spoke:
|
|
|
|
"Caroline Trevlyn. Mr Freeman tells me that he found you out
|
|
of bounds in lesson time buying cigarettes! Have you anything
|
|
to say for yourself?"
|
|
|
|
Caroline shook her head in silence, still ashamed to look the
|
|
headmaster in the face. She did not dare to tell him the
|
|
ridiculous story she had told the maths master. She knew it
|
|
could only make matters worse.
|
|
|
|
"I see. You're a new girl here, but I'm sure that you realise
|
|
the seriousness of these matters. Possession of cigarettes by
|
|
itself is specified in the school rules as being punishable by
|
|
the cane, and you have skipped lessons, broken bounds and lied
|
|
to a member of my staff as well! Any boy in your form who had
|
|
acted as you have done could consider himself fortunate if he
|
|
received twelve strokes of the cane, well laid on! Now, I
|
|
don't propose to punish you so severely as you deserve, but
|
|
can you give me one good reason why I shouldn't give you a
|
|
taste of my cane?"
|
|
|
|
This time Caroline felt that she did have something to say.
|
|
She didn't think she stood much chance of getting off, but she
|
|
had to try at least. "Yes, sir. I'm a girl and girls shouldn't
|
|
be caned. Also my parents wouldn't want me to be caned. They
|
|
don't agree with corporal punishment."
|
|
|
|
"Well Caroline at this school I have one set of rules for all
|
|
the pupils. And, it may surprise you, but I have spoken with
|
|
both your father and your mother on the telephone earlier
|
|
today and neither of them tried to dissuade me from
|
|
administering to you the caning which you so richly deserve.
|
|
And your mother told me that she'd spanked you with a
|
|
hairbrush before now for smoking - that's odd, isn't it, if
|
|
she doesn't believe in corporal punishment?"
|
|
|
|
Caroline looked at the headmaster for the first time and
|
|
grimaced, but didn't answer. Her wistful mouth and large eyes
|
|
appealed for mercy she was not going to get.
|
|
|
|
The headmaster stood up and moved over to a cupboard in the
|
|
corner of the study. He opened it and took out a long slender
|
|
cane, yellowish brown in colour. He turned to face the pretty
|
|
teenager.
|
|
|
|
"Six strokes, Caroline, and I am deducting ten house points
|
|
from Luke House. I don't suppose you've ever had the cane
|
|
before, have you?"
|
|
|
|
A miserable shake of the head.
|
|
|
|
"Well, it's intended as a punishment for serious breaches of
|
|
the rules and it is a serious punishment. It hurts! But I
|
|
shall expect you to remain in position throughout - remember
|
|
I'm giving you much less than you deserve! Now, take your
|
|
dressing gown off and bend over that chair.'
|
|
|
|
Caroline obeyed, positioning herself as required and awaiting
|
|
the first stroke. She wriggled in deep embarrassment as she
|
|
felt Mr Grahame's hand running over the seat of her blue
|
|
pyjama bottoms as he checked that she wasn't wearing more than
|
|
one layer of clothing. He speedily satisfied himself that the
|
|
thin garment was her only protection. Caroline's whole body
|
|
tensed as she waited apprehensively for the first blow.
|
|
|
|
Once he was satisfied with the girl's position Mr Grahame
|
|
stepped back slightly and measured the distance with the end
|
|
of his cane against her rear. For a moment everything was
|
|
deathly still. Then he said: "Right, here it comes. Six
|
|
strokes."
|
|
|
|
He drew the cane back and then slashed it down hard across the
|
|
seat of Caroline's taut pyjama trousers. It was worse than she
|
|
had feared, a searing line of white-hot pain. A shudder ran
|
|
through her body and she gasped audibly, but bravely made no
|
|
other sound.
|
|
|
|
Back came the cane, up over his shoulder, and swish, down it
|
|
came to hit that outstretched behind. It made a loud sound, as
|
|
if a cushion had been thumped, and Caroline jerked but did not
|
|
cry out.
|
|
|
|
Somewhat surprised at how well the girl was coping with the
|
|
early part of her punishment, Mr Grahame applied even more
|
|
force to his third stroke.
|
|
|
|
THWACKK!!
|
|
|
|
"Oh . . . ow . . . oh!" cried Caroline. She raised first one
|
|
foot and then the other. It seemed as if fire was viciously
|
|
clutching at her entire bottom. Her breathing was coming in
|
|
short sharp gasps, her breasts, within the confines of the
|
|
blue pyjama jacket, heaved, her hips swayed from side to side,
|
|
as if in an effort - vain though it inevitably was - to
|
|
assuage the mind-boggling pain in her thinly covered buttocks.
|
|
|
|
There was a short pause - an agonising period during which
|
|
Caroline went through mental torture; not knowing where the
|
|
fourth stroke would fall. Her backside twitched; her whole
|
|
body seemed to have been taken over by some outside force
|
|
which was causing her to shake, and her muscles - especially
|
|
those in her bottom - to relax rather than tense.
|
|
|
|
The cane sped down again, landing a little lower this time.
|
|
Caroline gave vent to a resounding screech and her haunches
|
|
writhed furiously as that vicious stroke sent vibrations to
|
|
every nerve and fibre in her body.
|
|
|
|
"Stay still, girl!" ordered the headmaster. "Two strokes to
|
|
come!"
|
|
|
|
Mr Grahame always made sure that the final two strokes of a
|
|
caning were the most painful and now he really lashed the cane
|
|
down hard low onto Caroline's bottom on a previously uncaned
|
|
area.
|
|
|
|
"Oooh . . . aagh . . . aahh!" she yelled, her body jerking
|
|
upright and her hands flying to her backside.
|
|
|
|
"How dare you get up before I tell you to!" rasped the
|
|
headmaster angrily. "Back over that chair at once unless you
|
|
want extra strokes!"
|
|
|
|
Caroline had started to cry now but she had no choice but to
|
|
obey. Stiffly and painfully she lowered her body and took hold
|
|
of the chair again. She had not imagined such pain possible.
|
|
Neither could she imagine taking another stroke on her blazing
|
|
bottom. But she had to.
|
|
|
|
Mr Grahame gave the cane a few practice swishes through the
|
|
air, each one making the pain-wracked girl feel as if that
|
|
awful instrument was about to land, each time her bottom
|
|
tensing at the sound.
|
|
|
|
Then she heard an almighty swish and, a moment later, the
|
|
sixth agonising stroke had landed.
|
|
|
|
"Aarrghh! Ooaw! Ooaw! . . . oh oh oh oh oww!!"
|
|
|
|
Mr Grahame stood back, placed the cane on his desk, and looked
|
|
at the quivering bottom encased in its thin cotton trousers.
|
|
He told Caroline to stand up and she did so, her hands
|
|
immediately going to her bottom again. She hopped from foot to
|
|
foot, still trying to come to terms with the intense stinging
|
|
pain still pouring out of her wealed rear.
|
|
|
|
The headmaster walked back behind his desk and sat down. He
|
|
opened a drawer and pulled out the school Punishment Book. He
|
|
looked up at the wriggling teenager, tears slowly falling down
|
|
her pretty face.
|
|
|
|
"Put your dressing gown back on Caroline. And stop crying!
|
|
It's all over now!"
|
|
|
|
He was pleased with the manner in which she had taken her
|
|
punishment. Many boys made more fuss at their first caning
|
|
than this girl had done.
|
|
|
|
Caroline put her dressing gown back on and tried to sniff back
|
|
her tears and stop crying. It wasn't so easy. The caning might
|
|
have been 'all over' but the pain certainly wasn't! She dabbed
|
|
at her eyes with a handkerchief held in her left hand, but her
|
|
right hand remained firmly pressed to the back of her dressing
|
|
gown.
|
|
|
|
Mr Grahame made the necessary entries in the book. Then he
|
|
looked up and addressed Caroline once again.
|
|
|
|
"I'm sorry that was necessary, Caroline. I know it's not very
|
|
pleasant, and I'm afraid you're going to have a very sore
|
|
bottom for a while. But it's not my fault, you know, it's your
|
|
own fault! And it's up to you to learn a lesson from this and
|
|
improve your behaviour for the rest of your time at this
|
|
school. Now let's get you back to your dormitory!"
|
|
|
|
Caroline would rather not have had the headmaster accompany
|
|
her back to the dorm, but she could hardly object. He did not
|
|
say a word as they made the slow journey back, but it was not
|
|
made in such absolute silence as she had walked to his study.
|
|
This time as she walked Caroline could not stop frequent gasps
|
|
and ejaculations of pain.
|
|
|
|
When they reached the dormitory the eyes of all the other
|
|
girls were riveted onto Caroline, but the presence of the
|
|
headmaster prevented any comments. He stood impassively by the
|
|
door as the caned girl limped, blushing beetroot red, across
|
|
the room to her bed.
|
|
|
|
She hesitated when she reached the side of her bed, uncertain
|
|
how to get in without aggravating the pain in her posterior
|
|
and not wanting to lie down with her weight on her bottom.
|
|
|
|
"Go on, girl. Get in face down! Everyone here knows you've got
|
|
a sore bottom!" called out the headmaster helpfully. As soon
|
|
as she was in bed, face buried in her pillows, he addressed
|
|
the rest of the girls.
|
|
|
|
"You all know by now that I have had to cane Caroline Trevlyn
|
|
for a very serious breach of school rules. I don't like caning
|
|
anyone, and I especially dislike having to punish senior girls
|
|
like you, who are supposed to be young ladies, in this way.
|
|
But I can assure you all that I will continue to do my duty
|
|
and that if any of you, or any of the other girls at the
|
|
school, do anything that deserves a caning then that girl's
|
|
bottom will be just a sore as Miss Trevlyn's is now! I'm
|
|
switching the light off now, and I don't want to hear a sound
|
|
from this dormitory - or else."
|
|
|
|
There was no talking after the headmaster's departure - none
|
|
of the other girls wanted what Caroline had got. But they
|
|
could hear her loud sobs as she started crying again. There
|
|
were shivers in the darkness from the seven girls who weren't
|
|
sobbing. Some girls could not sleep for thinking about what a
|
|
caning must be like, hearing Caroline's sobs long into the
|
|
night.
|
