The next morning, dad and I get to school at 7:30 am as usual. I put my stuff in dad's office and head over to the gym, where I know Mr. Simmons is waiting for me. He's running laps as I walk in the gym. I go stand by the bleachers as he finishes his current lap.
Mr. Simmons "Good morning, Donna Jo."
DJ "Good morning, sir. You wanted to see me."
Mr. Simmons " Yes, I did. I was very disappointed to find out that you have been caught smoking yesterday. So you know how dangerous that is?"
DJ " Yes, sir. I messed up. I got stressed out and handled it incorrectly. "
Mr. Simmons "What also bothers me is that you called yourself a fuck up. I don't appreciate you talking about yourself like that. You are a bright young lady who made a mistake, but you will learn from it. After I'm done with you, you will never think about smoking or insulting one of my best students again."
DJ "I'm sorry, sir. I was upset and feeling disappointed in myself."
Mr. Simmons " I understand. Now for your punishment. As you know, your dad gave all teachers permission to punish you as we see fit. Also, I've already cleared it with your dad to keep you for first period too so that we will have plenty of time. You will do as you are told, and you will not disrupt my first period class. In fact, you will not talk to any students in the class. Now to get started. Go get changed into your PE clothes (red shorts, white tshirt) then bring that chair over here."
I go get changed and grab the chair and bring it over to where Mr. Simmons was standing. He sat down and ordered me over his lap. He spanked me over his lap for 5 minutes and then ordered me up. He then ordered me to lay over the back of the chair and grab the front legs. I got into position while Mr. Simmons went over to his bag and brought over a paddleand said, "I dug out the paddle that I used on my own daughter when I caught her smoking. I figured it deterred her, it might deter you as well. I'm going to give you 10 just like I gave her. I want you to count them out with the number followed by I'm sorry coach." DJ "Yes, sir."
WHACK 1 I'm sorry coach
WHACK 2 I'm sorry coach
WHACK 3 I'm sorry coach
WHACK 4 I'm sorry coach
WHACK 5 I'm sorry coach
WHACK 6 I'm sorry coach
WHACK 7 I'm sorry coach
WHACK 8 I'm sorry coach
WHACK 9 I'm sorry coach
WHACK 10 I'm sorry coach
Mr. Simmons "You may get up. Go get a drink and come back here. "
I get a quick drink and stand in front of Mr. Simmons and await his next set of instructions. He then had me do 25 push ups, 50 situps, 100 jumping jacks. First period started, but Mr. Simmons did not let up. He had me do 5 suicides as the class were doing warm ups. After that he had me do a 15 minute wall sit. Then I had to do 25 squats and 25 lunges. I then had to run the stairs 5 times. After that he let me rest by standing nose to the wall holding a paper that said "I will not smoke and I will not insult myself" with my nose. For every time I dropped the paper, I had to run 1 lap. I ended up dropping it 15 times.
So for the last 20 minutes of class, I ran the 15 laps while the students of the class watched since Mr. Simmons decided to give them a break. Of course he told them that this is what happens when you get caught smoking. After I finished running my laps, he had me go shower and get dressed back into my regular clothes and meet him back in the gym.
Mr. Simmons "You are a very smart, talented young woman. You have your whole life ahead of you. You have so much potential. Make smart decisions. Don't ever touch another cigarette. If I ever find out you do, it won't matter how old you are this will seem like nothing. I care about you a lot. You're one of my favorite students. I never told you this, but I went to school with your mom. You remind me so much of her. I always promised myself, that I would keep an eye out for you. "
DJ "Thank you, sir. I Will never smoke again, I promise. It was a stupid decision made by a stupid person. I'm..."
Mr. Simmons "YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO INSULT YOURSELF LIKE THAT. You are not stupid. You are smart, you just made a bad choice. Because you chose to insult yourself again after we already had this talk, you will write me a list of 10 good qualities you have by the end of today and you will bring them to me after the last bell rings."
DJ "Yes, sir. I'm sorry :
Mr. Simmons pulls me into a hug and said, "If you ever need anything, you can come to me kid. I love ya. Now get to ISS."
