For The Better

Talking It Out

AN: This chapter contains the spanking of a preteen. You have been warned!

Danielle and Skie exited the bathroom to see Hazel leaning against a wall, looking infinitely calmer.

"I trust you two are calm enough to carry on a civil conversation now?" 

"Yes miss." The two girls replied.

"Excellent. Follow me, please."

Hazel quickly led the way to the discipline room and within a few minutes the two girls were seated with Hazel in front of them.

"Now, Skylar, I would like to know exactly what happened."

Skie took a deep breath. "So Danielle and I went to check the cast list."

Hazel cut in. "How did you do?"

Skie smiled. "We both got main parts."

Hazel broke into a grin. "Congratulations!" She quickly pasted on a stern face again, although a smile still played around the corners of her mouth.

"Thanks. Anyway, Madi was probably jealous that I got a lead role, and she started taunting me. I tried to leave her alone but she started to bring up my past again. I really didn't want to deal with that, so I pushed her and she fell down. Mrs. Daniels walked around the corner and yelled my name. I know she hates me so I just ran. And then I kinda had an anxiety attack and well...you know the rest."

Hazel nodded. "I do. She really needs to quit with that attitude. It happened what, four years ago or something?"

Skie nodded.

Hazel sighed. "Well, I will deal with her. However, you are in trouble as well. You should not have physically attacked her, you should not have run from Mrs. Daniels, and you should have avoided the bathrooms."

Skie looked confused. "You lost me."

"The bathrooms. The physics of the hallway makes everything echo. The entire wing could probably hear you cussing her out."

"I see."

Hazel smirked for a second. "Wise words of advice. However, on that note, you should not have been swearing at all. You're eleven...are kids just less innocent nowadays, because I didn't know all those words when I was eleven."

Skie snorted. "I grew up with Raven, miss. Let's just say I heard them all."

Hazel looked contemplative. "Hmm. Now, as for you, Miss Dykstra-"

Skie cut in. "Please don't punish her. She was only stopping me from doing something I'd regret. Please don't be mad at her."

Danielle put a hand on Skie's arm. "I shouldn't have pushed her, Skie. It's ok."

Hazel looked back and forth between them, chewing her lip in thought. "I will take that into consideration. Ms. Matthews, I would appreciate it if you would please step into the side room until I come for you."

Skie looked apprehensive but did as she was told. Once she had left, Hazel turned back to Danielle.

"She is correct, more than she knows. You stopped both of us from doing something we may have regretted later."

Danielle blushed. "I didn't want anyone to get hurt."

Hazel smiled at the tall blonde girl. "As far as I am concerned, you did the right thing."

Danielle sighed. "I still feel badly for pushing you, and I ran away from Mrs. Daniels too."

"Well, I suppose you are correct in that. Very well, you will be punished, though not severely. Come here."

Danielle got up and went over to a now seated Hazel. At her word, she bent over. Hazel began without preface, giving the girl three dozen smacks that did not do much more than sting. She then removed her underwear.

"I'm going to give you a dozen bare and then it will be over. Understood?"

"Yes miss."

Smack Smack

Danielle bit her lip and squirmed

Smack Smack Smack Smack

"Hold still."

Smack Smack Smack Smack

The girl let out a quiet moan of pain. Hazel aimed for her sit spots and landed the last two swats.

Smack Smack

Danielle recovered almost immediately. There were no tears and her bottom was only a splotchy pink. She got up and Hazel pulled her into a hug.

"Do you feel better?"

"Yes miss."

"Good. I'm going to get Skie now so that she can see that you haven't been tortured. Then I have to do something. Hold on."

Hazel walked quickly to the door and tapped on it. Skie came out looking nervous, but smiled in relief to see Danielle looking alright.

"I need to do something. You two wait here please."

Hazel stepped into the hall and closed the door.

"Are you ok?" 

Danielle smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine. It didn't hurt that much. It was just like a warm up and then 12 smacks with her hand, it's probably the most minor spanking I've gotten."

Skie smiled, then looked down. "I'm sorry I got you in trouble."

Danielle grabbed Skie's shoulders. "Hey. I got myself in trouble. Don't blame yourself. Ok?"

Skie hugged her friend. "I'll try not to."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Alright, that's been taken care of. The bell for morning classes will ring in ten minutes, so you should probably take your leave, Danielle."

"Good idea." Danielle squeezed her friend's shoulder. "Thank you, miss."

Hazel grinned. "You can call me Hazel, you know."

Danielle smiled. "See you guys."

After she had left, Hazel turned to Skie. "I have been thinking about what you said, Skylar."

"Why am I still Skylar?"

"Because you're still in trouble."

"Shit."

Hazel rolled her eyes. "Language. And that is exactly what I am referring to."

"What do you mean?"

Hazel raised an eyebrow and then glanced at the door, which opened to reveal an equally annoyed and confused Raven.

AN: Please leave a comment! Next up, Hazel deals with Skie...and has an idea

Also note: Hazel does not approve of swearing. That doesn't mean that she doesn't do it, but I try to limit her, eh, vocabulary to AU's and emotional moments (like The Creek.) Of course, you can always blame Raven for her knowledge XD
