REAL Old Fashioned: a BMW & GMW Spanking Story

Ch. 3/P. 1: The Biggest Mistake of My Life

Shawn's POV:

Things have been looking up, I dare say...John has been nice enough to unground me, so that's a plus, and Veronica Watson still wants to be with me! She's got good taste in guys (obviously, since she's dating me). We've been officially dating now for a little over two months, which is some kind of record for me. The one annoying thing is John still won't let us go anywhere alone, so often we have Cory and Topanga "chaperone." If having your teacher as a parent wasn't bad enough, John has let the power get to his head and has been really harping on me a lot about school work. It also doesn't help that word has gone around that I'm his classroom assistant. Man, people can be mean. I hope the nickname "teacher's pet slave" doesn't stick. Now I've gotta try doubly hard to just have the space to breathe AND to keep up what's left of my reputation. At least once I can drive, I'll be able to basically go anywhere I want, and I could have Veronica all to myself. I mean, if I just drive far enough, our chances of getting caught alone would be pretty slim. Yep, I got big plans, very big plans, as long as they don't get trampled on by John, that is.

"Shawn, your assignment on Hamlet, where is it?" John quizzed, towering over him while he ate his breakfast at the island.

Shawn dropped his fork to think. "Oh, I-Uh...wait...what assignment?"

"Ya know, the one that I gave you just yesterday? I told you to finish it and turn it in to me today before school. Where did you leave it?"

"John, you've been working me like a dog. It's kinda hard having to deal with everything at school, then go home to do more school. I almost wish I just went with the 2 more months of being grounded."

"Well, no biggie...I'll just go get you another copy of it. Good thing I'm your teacher too, huh? I have an unlimited supply of copies." John smiled wide as he went to fetch another copy.

"Oh, goodie," Shawn said sarcastically. "Hey, John, can Veronica and I go to the movies tonight?"

"Sure, pal, if you get everything done before then."

Shawn groaned. "C'mon, John, can you just give me one day of leniency? I promise I'll make it up to you."

"You're not doing the homework for my sake, Shawn. This is YOUR education here. I just assign the material."

"So, since it's MY education, that should mean I can choose WHEN and HOW to do it."

"Nice try. Here." John placed the Hamlet assignment in front of him.

Shawn stared at it for a few seconds. "What's the point? Why would I ever need to know about Hamlet? Is Hamlet gonna be my sugar daddy and make me rich?"

"Shawn, stop complaining. I didn't make the rules, but if you just applied yourself a little bit, then you might start to realize the importance of an education. I hope you realize it before it's too late." John gave him a stern expression and pointed at the assignment. "This paper better be finished before your date tonight, or no date...and be sure Cory and Topanga can come as well, or no date, capeesh?"

"Yeah, yeah, I know..."

"Oh, before I forget...I pulled a few strings." John dug in his briefcase and handed Shawn a packet. "Here's the driver's manual you'll need to start studying! Just one step closer to independence, huh, Shawn?"

"Yeah, yay...Then I can get away from YOU."

John scoffed, surprised at Shawn's lack of excitement. "Oh, is that jab supposed to hurt my feelings? Well, you're gonna have to do a lot more than that. I'll take your frustration as a sign that I'm doing something right."
