Wild and Free

Chapter Thirty Four

Did Erika really deserve to be punished like that?
———————————————————————————
Erika's POV:

The guard left once I got to the classroom. I checked my collar to see what time it was and knew I had to hurry up or I'd be late to my next class. Which was Cooking.

Great I learn to cook. I actually wanted to learn that back home. But first, have to get this over with.

I walked in and the classroom was empty, save for the woman sitting at her desk and typing something on her laptop. She looked up once she heard my heels, then frowned when she saw it was me.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in your next class?" She growled. Obviously still pissed. I swallowed down what was left of my pride and knelt down on the floor, bowing my head. Fuck this place

"I'm sorry Mistress for how I acted earlier. I shouldn't of spoken out of turn, threatened you, or disrespected you" I said loudly. She got up, carrying the thing I had threatened to strangle her with before along with her. Stopping in front of me, she used the end to raise my chin and make me look at her.

"Apology not accepted. You know how many times I've heard that line? You're just terrified your Owner is gonna have us beat your ass if you don't make it up to us. Understand this floor licker, we aren't stupid." She snapped. I forced my hands to remain flat against my thighs and kept my anger at bay. I'm not anyone's floor licker.

"I really am sorry. What can I do to make Mistress happy again?" I asked. She tapped her chin with her other hand. Then smirked.

"Well. I do believe my shoes are in need of a cleaning. And my pet is tired. So you can take her place" She said. I mentally gagged. Okay maybe strangling her isn't off the table.

Then I remembered Samantha's very helpful words. Shoving my pride down extra far, I nodded.

"Yes Mistress". She smiled and went back to her desk, sitting down in her chair and crossing one leg over the other. She was wearing black heels to match her dress and a ton of bracelets. Not the high tech ones like mine, just regular ones. I decided my best bet would be to crawl forward instead of walking over, and it ended up working in my favor. I leaned down and ran my tongue against her shoes, effectively polishing them. I tried to follow what Penny had done for Carmen, since she probably did this lots of times right?.

It took what felt like forever, but she was finally satisfied and pushed me back, gesturing for me to stand with her. I got up and she patted my head. Even in heels she herself was a pretty tall woman.

"Good Girl. Tomorrow I expect complete obedience" She said.

"Yes Mistress" I replied. She reached into one of her desk drawers and pulled out my binder. Then my iPad. I gave her a confused look as I took both and tucked them into the crook of my arm.

"Don't I get this taken away? Mistress" I said. She shrugged.

"The Administration let you keep it. Lucky girl. Now get out" She replied. I went to do just that, then I paused.

"Mistress? What's your name?" I asked. She smiled.

"Mrs Birch". Holy shit. My birch tree insult.

'Warning. You are 5 minutes late to class. Please have a teacher confirm that you have stayed behind in their classroom. If you fail to confirm in 1 minute and 52 seconds you will be sent to Detention' My collar said. I panicked.

"Mistress! May you please confirm that I was here for my next class" I asked quickly. She got up and used her iPad to stand some barcode thing on my collar.
