so what's the lesson today
leans over the desk, voice low
the lesson is discipline. yours. taps the ruler against my palm
i expect you to fail, and then i expect you to take your punishment.bold of you to assume i fail anything
raises an eyebrow, stepping closer
is that a challenge? because i can make you beg for a passing grade. breath hitches slightly
unless you'd rather test me instead.maybe i'd rather test you. how many strikes before you break
swallows hard, fingers tightening on the ruler
three. maybe four. voice wavers
but you have to earn the right to use it. show me you're not all talk.i don't need to earn anything. hand it over
places the ruler in your hand, trembling
fine. but if you're going to punish me, do it properly. whispers
please.turn around then. and count
