For The Better

The First Punishment

AN: This chapter contains the spanking of a preteen. Don't like, don't read.

"Sit down please." Hazel instructed.

Skie sat on the couch and Hazel followed suit. The two girls were in quite the same positions that they had been in a little less than three weeks ago, but both felt quite differently.

"Now, I have heard the perspectives of Danielle, Amelia, and Maddison, but I have not heard yours. Tell me what happened, Skie."

Hazel said it like a request, but Skie could tell it was a command. She sighed and began.

"I went into drama class and Madi came in. She started picking on me for something that happened over 4 years ago. I didn't want Danielle thinking something about me that wasn't true and I didn't know what to do so I just slapped her. She hit me back way harder and then I was going to punch her." Skie spoke quickly, and Hazel could tell it was the truth.

Hazel nodded. "I see. And what could you have done differently?" 

Skie shrugged. "Not that. But I'm not sure. I couldn't just tell her to stop talking, and if she kept going I don't know if Danielle would listen to my explanation."

Hazel nodded again. "That is a difficult situation. It was wrong to slap her, but I see your predicament. Now, of course, Danielle is going to want an explanation anyway."

Skie sighed. "I know."

Hazel looked thoughtful. "You know, I think that Danielle would have listened to your explanation. Oftentimes, people are more willing to see both sides of an argument than you might think."

Skie looked at Hazel. "How do you know?"

Hazel considered. "You know what, this might be a good time to mention something the headmistress asked of me. Before you arrived, she called me into her office and asked me if I could, well, mentor you, I suppose. "Try to influence her for the better" were her words. So, I have a proposition."

Skie raised a eyebrow. "A proposition?"

Hazel nodded. "You come and talk to me about what's bothering you, whether it be in the past or present, and I'll try to help you by maybe telling you of some things that have happened to me."

Skie smirked. "What's happened to you? You're head girl. You're perfect."

Hazel tilted her head and smiled. "You and I are very similar, Skie. What do you say?"

Skie thought for a moment. "I think it's a good idea."

Hazel nodded. "Excellent. I'll make a schedule and get that to you, and we can talk. Do you like tea?"

Skie grinned.

Hazel grinned back. "I'll make tea. However, we still have to talk about today."

Skie groaned. "I was hoping you forgot."

Hazel smirked apologetically. "Nope. Now, physical violence is definitely not allowed. However, you did get hurt rather worse than Madi, and this is your first offense, so I can cut you a bit of slack."

Skie nodded. 

Hazel stood, walked to a drawer, and withdrew a ruler. She then returned to the couch and seated herself. 

"Come here, Ms. Matthews."

Skie got up and nervously walked over to Hazel's right side.

"Bend over."

Skie did and settled herself across the older girl's lap, her heart racing.

Hazel lifted up Skie's skirt and neatened her shirttails. "What's going to happen, Skylar?"

Skie blushed and whispered "I'm gonna be spanked."

"Why?"

"For slapping Madi."

Hazel nodded and brought her hand down on Skie's bottom. "Correct."

Skie jumped and yelped as Hazel began to spank her in a steady rhythm. It wasn't very hard, in fact Skie had had much worse, but it certainly wasn't comfortable.

After about a minute, Hazel lowered Skie's underwear and picked up her ruler, tapping it on Skie's bottom. "You're going to get two dozen spanks with this ruler for fighting, Miss Matthews."

"Yes, miss."

Smack Smack

Skie yelped as the ruler came down hard across her bottom.

Smack Smack Smack Smack

The younger girl felt tears begin to roll down her cheeks.

Smack Smack Smack Smack Smack Smack

Skie began to cry hard. Hazel continued, occasionally landing a swat on her thighs.

Smack Smack Smack Smack Smack Smack

Skie kicked and squirmed, but Hazel kept going

Smack Smack Smack Smack Smack Smack

Hazel landed the last two hard swats on Skie's sit spots and then stopped, rubbing the crying little girl's back gently. Skie cried for a few minutes before relaxing. Hazel adjusted her clothing and the two girls stood and hugged.

"I'm sorry, miss."

"It's forgiven, Skie."

Skie smiled, then looked nervous. "Are you gonna tell Raven?"

Hazel nodded. "Your parents gave consent to let her sign the form, so yes, I'm telling her and she will probably tell your parents."

Skie looked down. "She will."

Hazel smiled slightly. "Sorry, kiddo. I don't have a choice."

Skie sighed. "It's ok, I understand."

Hazel patted her shoulder gently. "It will be fine. Wash your face and get to class, ok?"

Skie smiled a little and did so.

AN: Leave a comment, what do you think Skie should have done differently?

Next up, Hazel and Raven talk, Raven and Skie talk, and Skie and Hazel talk. Wow.
