Chapter 2: Under Leverage

Almost immediately the clashes between editor, Priya and staff became an issue of animosity as well as productivity. Penny had a concern over the Indian beauty lack of people skills at the Cal Tech Daily News. The Drama play centered faux school paper was a farce. It had finally reached a crisis. It reached a point where in mass the staff quit in protest. Howard had come to Penny’s, now in charge, in her great hour of need.

Together they had managed to soothe the journalists back to work and were able to get the paper out. The interaction with Howard had its fringe benefits. It was a bonus of that offered the opportunity to save their relationship and put it back on the romance track.

The Cal Tech Daily News staff had fired Priya and voted Penny to be their new editor.

Priya retaliated by kicking Penny out of the apartment. She was furious at what she considered the betrayal. Penny moved on with her life moving in with Howard as took on the responsibilities of editor of the renowned college newspaper. After Priya banished her from the apartment, Penny realized her behavior was a repeat of her flying off the handle when they were back at school in the paint-gun class.

All started when the other California schoolgirls had yanked Penny into the girl’s bathroom and told Penny of their coup to bring Priya down to size. Penny stood in front of the sink and told the other girls on the newspaper she had no intention of going behind Priya’s back.

While Penny wasn’t on the surface bossy in her less sensitive moments she could be down-right mean! of all the private schoolgirls, decided more strenuous measures were needed to get Penny’s attention. SPANK! Penny felt a sudden sharp sting against her blue and gray plaid skirted butt. “Ouch,” Penny exclaimed as she reached back and gave her butt a good rub.

“Listen Penny we will tell her you know about this, so you might as well help us,” The leader of the bullying girls told Penny.

Penny was actually more stunned than hurt as she continued to rub her butt, that a fellow California Girl would “Pop” her on the bottom after she had been accosted into the in impromptu meeting in the girls bathroom. Penny feeling she was licked agreed to the newspaper coup to remove Priya as editor.

Later, when Priya found out that Penny knew about the coup, she felt blindsided and betrayed by her best friend. The hot, headed shoulder length blonde stormed into the gym, where she found out she was to fence Penny Rostenkowski. Her classmates who knew of the coup thought this was going to get interesting.

The headmaster of California had just had a report of a very feisty paint-gun match that had gone bad. It had been reported to him, that Penny and Priya had run around the room, chasing each other and swinging their swords in all directions, all over the place, putting in danger other students. The improper use of the sword had even ended with Penny on the floor and Priya with the tip of her sword pressing into Priya’s neck.

One a golden blonde, Penny and the other raven black hair named Priya. along with the other girls that had been paint-gun had just finished showering and were putting on their panties and blue and gray plaid uniform skirts. Penny noticed as Priya pulled her panties up over her bottom. They were white as required, but they were not the right style. Priya was wearing bikini panties. Penny shrugged and pulled her white brief cotton panties over her own bottom, as required in the California Dress Code.

Penny and Priya took time to adjust their short school uniform skirts with a “swish, -swish” movement of their hips adjusting their bottom’s to best fit their blue plaid skirts. Each of The California Girl School in the locker room starts out the door to leave for their next class. Penny and Priya still not talking to each other enter the hallway focusing on making sure they are not late for class.

Penny headed to literature and Priya to Political Science, clueless of the perfect storm brewing in their futures. Lorelei and Priya’s Mother were informed and brought into the headmaster’s office where they were informed of their daughter’s deplorable behavior at school. The endangerment of themselves and other students and staff with a total disregard of safety rules during their paint-gun class. All the schoolgirls parents they had hard choices to make that would determine the schoolgirls futures at California and their letters of recommendation to Cal Tech.

Priya met up in the locker room hallway with Penny. She felt betrayed, but there still was an issue of the newspaper to put out before going home from school.

“Just a minute, Penny, Priya”, the paint-gun team leader called out the girls that caused the ruckus in Paint-Gun outing.” Surprised to be called out by the coach, they turn sharply pivoting their plaid skirts flying up around the waist accidentally showing their tight white panty clad bottoms.

“Both of you report to the office immediately!” Sheldon the Paint-Gun leader ordered.

“What? Both schoolgirls look at each other perplexed, clueless they are in trouble.

Priya in her usual perturbed voice. “Sir, Penny and I have a newspaper deadline, unless you plan to pick the final stories, edit them and lay them out in the paper, I suggest you tell the office we have more pressing manners.” Yeah, Penny nods her brown shoulder length hair whipping up and down on her back at their paint-gun coach in agreement with her editor.

The Paint-gun leader / Sheldon ignored their arguments to Penny & Priya, “NOW, get your butts to the office, or I can escort you there like I do the little girls.”

Penny and Priya for the first time realize the seriousness of their paint-gun misbehavior and decide to obey walking quickly down the hallway towards the office together.

Clearing The Air:

Priya knew in her heart that she still wanted to be friends with Penny. The blonde coed agreed to meet Penny for a private meal at the Howard family’s castle estate in Newport, California. Much like The Hearst founders of the vast media empire the estate resembled a castle with turrets. All of them had been tourist attractions in part to pay the heavy upkeep of the castles. After they finished eating Penny explained as they climbed up the steps of the castle turret tower observation deck, it was high past time for ‘Priya to burn!’

Penny must teach Priya that her meltdowns would not be tolerated and if she was to be reinstated as Penny’s assistant editor there had to be a quick stop when it came to reacting like a little girl. In the end it was imperative she sink that reminder into the seat of knowledge nature behind of the Indian beauty’s tan hued skin. It was about turning her bottom to a burnished red as she punished her for such lapses in judgment.

“I rather not have a beating,” Priya whined.

“Not a beating, Priya, a spanking. It’s not a beating. It’s a spanking. I won’t use a belt which most persons would equate with a beating. In fact, I was thinking that since this will be your first spanking we would use this,” Penny said softly, but firmly.

She reached into the nifty inside pocket of her computer bag and pulled out a souvenir paddle she had purchased at the gift shop located in the tourist area of the castle turret of the school.
