Chapter 3

A group of students TP’d a disliked teacher’s house as a trick for Halloween. Only Lily took it farther than that by throwing rotten eggs at the front door. Sean, her dad is notified to come to the school and must spank her before she can return to school.

Sean, was busy with his construction work with the city and he wasn’t always there when his daughter Lily needed a firm hand. He didn’t micro-manage every aspect of Lily’s life.

She wasn’t Sean’s little girl anymore! That fact was now perfectly clear after the disturbing conversation he had just had with the ‘head of school,’ that after the TP strewn trees of one of the school’s most effective, yet disliked teacher at the parochial school. Only one had taken it farther than a little fun. Lily had thrown rotten eggs at her despised teacher’s door; she felt had it out for her in class.

Sean had rarely scolded Lily and barely spanked her the last time being when she was eleven-just turned twelve. That had been when her actions had endangered her life, but this time the eighteen year-old had really screwed up and according to the ‘head of school’ Lily would be expelled unless he put himself out there to intervene and there was no way out to get her butt out of trouble. On the other hand if he failed to carry out the unpleasant mission Lily would have to expelled, even after the dirty deed admitted. There was fury in Sean’s fire in his eyes and anger in his mood. It was unbelievable that Lily, his talented 18 year-old daughter had capriciously chosen to go to the teacher’s house and after taking part to TP in the yard’s trees had gone farther and thrown the rotten eggs hitting the front door. Now the shit had hit the fan! Sean sped towards the school heading across the Bayonne Bridge over the river with the Sky Tram Way Cable Car towering to the sky in the foreground. There is a current proposal for a gondola-cable between Staten Island and New Jersey. It was being hauled around on a trailer to gain support for the transportation project.
