#384754 - “You may stand up when you are ready” the mistresses voice sounded unnaturally loud in the silence following the ten loud cracks of a senior school cane impacting on an 18 year old backside. I knew that once we were outside, my classmates would be more than casually interested in listening to my punishment and that would include Wendy and Danielle! It occurred to me that it was most unfair that some of them would probably be indulging themselves at my misfortune as I had done at Danielle’s but with no chance of suffering the same fate! Once outside in the corridor, Miss Norman wasted no time. With a sound THWACK, the stick landed on my bum and as usual for a brief moment I felt no real pain and then a searing line of fire scorched across me.
