Chapter 14: Punishing My Lover

Friday was a slow day. I waited in vain for anyone to punish all morning. But I sat next to Dr Johnson at lunch, who informed me that he had decided to pay me a visit that evening. He had heard that I was punishing Amelie every other day and thought I would need his help. I denied this, saying that I could manage very well on my own.

“That’s what you think. Surely, Amy’s punishment yesterday was the most serious in the past two days? So you will have to replicate that. And given that she was punished by some of her classmates, and that her punishment was witnessed by her classmates, we need to find Amelie’s classmates that dislike her the most.”

OMG! This was just what I needed, an old pervert getting his second wind. How was I going to get rid of him again?

I later learned from Amelie that he actually asked her class teacher who Amelie’s intimate enemies were. And then he summoned them for Amelie’s punishment session that night. Two of them fancied themselves as the supermodels of Amelie’s class: super-thin, blonde, superficial, and prone to making cutting remarks about anyone falling short of their idea of beauty Amelie had frequently been the butt of their not very funny jokes. One of the other two once used to be Amelie’s best friend, but then another girl had joined the class and had got between them, leaving Amelie largely friendless and with bitter feeling towards her former friend. That ‘interloper’ was girl number 4.
