THE HEADMASTER FROM HELL

Part 8 - DETENTION SLAVES

Matthew was standing before his father in his office at Grange Road

''I want you to do something disruptive today to get into trouble'' Sean told him

''Why Sir?'' a confused Matthew asked

''Because I've just told Mrs Clements that you behave badly and I want her to see evidence so that my story is more convincing. Do you understand?''

''Yes Sir''

There was a knock at the door

''Come in Sean'' said and smiled as he knew who it would be

Liam entered the room ''You wanted to see me, Sir?'' he said

''Ah yes'' Sean said ''I want to introduce you to my son Matthew. You two will be getting to know each other when Liam comes to do his weekend detentions. Ok, boys, you can go and remember you're both in my special care. My two very special boys so go away and have a chat with each other about how you can both serve me!''

The two boys spoke at the same time ''Yes Sir''

Liam and Matthew left with their heads bowed and walked up the corridor together

''What's the story dude?'' an intrigued Liam asked Matthew  ''I had no idea he had a son''

''He stole me from my mother that's the story'' Matthew answered dismally ''He applied for custody and won''

Liam felt sorry for Matthew at once. It was easy to imagine the sort of hell having Sean as a father and being in his custody would be

''Man I'm sorry that must be tough. I know what he is like''

''I intend to cope somehow'' Matthew said ''Anyway what is that stuff about weekend detention?''

''Every weekend I have to report to his house to do detention''

Matthew was quite surprised by this ''Is that even allowed?'' he asked

''No but my mother is a cow and she agreed to it and how am I supposed to stop it? He will just punish me worse we both know that''

''Yeah man, well at least we're in it together sort of''

''Worse for you, I only see him at school and at weekends. I still get time away from him but you are with him 24/7''

''Listen don't tell the others that he is my father will you? I don't really want them to know''

''Sure I won't tell them but I can't promise it won't come out some other way''

Sean had summoned Stephen and Joe to his office after Liam and Matthew had left

''Anything you want to tell me boys?'' he asked them

''Like what Sir?'' Stephen asked

''Well i am curious lads. What is it like being gay?''

The two boys were immediately surprised and freaked out

''You know about us Sir?'' Joe asked

''Oh yeah i know alright. I an the headmaster and i was told about it''

''By Liam?'' Stephen asked angrily ''He promised not to say anything to anyone''

Sean shook his head ''No as much as i would love to pin the blame on him it wasn't him who told me''

The two boys were even angrier now 

''You mean Mrs Clements told you Sir?'' Joe said ''She promised us she would not say anything to anyone''
