REAL Old Fashioned: a BMW & GMW Spanking Story

Ch. 9/P. 2: Ugh. Why John WHY?

Shawn's POV:

Great. John has been cracking down on me so much more since this whole home school thing. He thinks now that he's both my legal guardian and my teacher full-time, he can take over my life. So. Many. Rules. We have a big poster board now that lists all the do's and don'ts, plus I still can't go anywhere outside of John's line of vision, or I'd get the last of my freedom taken away. Must I say more? It's f*cking suffocating. The only bright side to this is that I'm actually liking school some, since John can teach me whatever the h*ll he wants now that Feeny isn't breathing down his neck. Still, my life is a nightmare. I can't even watch T.V. without asking first.

*rrrrring rrrrring*

The phone blurted so loud that it woke Shawn up from his Saturday slumber.

"John, can you get it?" Shawn whined. Snoring was John's only response.

*rrrrring rrrrring*

"John? Ugh. Fine. I'll get it." Shawn rolled out of bed to reach the phone. "Hello? Who's this?"

"Guess who!"

"Cory? I'm surprised you're actually talking to me again."

"We're best friends. I can't stay mad at you. Plus, it was sort of my fault, so, I'm sorry."

"You're forgiven...Hey, what're you doing right now? Wanna come over?"

"Is that even a question? Of course I would, silly! I'll be right over."

"S-"

"Ahem...Excuse me? Who are you talking to, and why are you asking them to come over without my permission?" John's eyes peered over the blanket and tore into Shawn's soul.

"What the- how long have you been up?"

"Long enough. Who's calling?"

"It's just Cory. Before you say no, just hear me out. We haven't seen each other in, like, forever. He's finally talking to me again after our fight. Please, John, please."

John sat up in bed. "Maybe, but only if he comes over here. You gotta promise me that you two will stay where I can see you. One wrong move, and he's out, got it?"

Shawn breathed out. "Yes, got it. Thanks!" He gave John a tight squeeze before getting ready.

"You are most welcome. Would you like it if I made chocolate chip pancakes for you two?"

"Sure," Shawn said as he wriggled into his clothes.

"Wow, so Turner really decked this place out for you, huh? A desk, a chalkboard...It's like a real classroom in here. Good job, Turner," Cory exclaimed.

"Thanks, Matthews. Anything to make Shawn like learning," John replied as he prepared their breakfast.

"Uh huh," Shawn remarked, staring John down. John ignored his attitude.

"So, um...Do you like being homeschooled then?" Cory asked.

"I mean, yeah, it's alright I guess," Shawn replied as the boys sat at the kitchen island.

Cory's eyes fell on a stack of papers and a book sitting next to them on the counter. "No way! You have Forrest Gump? I LOVE that movie!"

"Yeah, well John's having me read the book for an assignment. Next is The Princess Bride, then it's Journey to the Center of the Earth. He said that maybe we could even learn about the different religions of the world in depth, then maybe learn a foreign language!"
