Mothers Friend        Part Three

Several weeks went by and Melissa had been a very well behaved child. She had done everything her mother asked and didn't argue with her one bit. But time has a way of making one forget, and they soon fall back into their old pattern, despite the threat of yet another spanking hanging over their heads. She had been restricted to the house after school, and was allowed little privilige over the weekends. As things got back to normal and Melissa was awarded full privilege again, her mischievious side was once again about to make an appearance. The week had gone rather smoothly and her mother allowed her a two hour trip to the local mall. Melissa returned on time, and her mother was pleased. Monday morning Becky dropped Melissa off in front of the school. The day was going by slowly and as she was eating lunch, he best friend came up with a brilliant idea. "God I hate school. Why do we have to be here anyway?"Kaci asked. "I have no idea, but today is just way to boring to even be here,"  Melissa replied."We don't have to be here if we don't want to." "Yes we do," replied Kaci. "The eighth graders are on a field trip so why don't we just take our own little trip," Melissa stated. "You mean skip?"  Kaci asked as her eyes got big with intrigue. "Why don't you just say it loud enough for everyone to hear, stupid," Melissa scolded. "Sorry," Kaci replied. "What do you have in mind Melissa. Melissa and Kacey put their heads together and made their plans. They dumped their trays and wandered around school grounds. They noticed kids coming and going. Then they remembered that the school allowed kids with a note to walk home for lunch and then check back at the office when they returned. It was perfect. no one would question why they were walking away from school, so they quickly headed down the street. They knew they couldn't go in any businesses, so they went to the park and hung out down by the river intil it was just about time for the class to end. They made their way back to school just in time for their last class. When the day ended and the girls met back up to walk home, they couldn't believe how easy that had been. Melissa was a bit nervous as the evening went on. She worried a little that someone had figured it out, but when she crawled into bed that night, she smiled as she fell asleep. She had finally gotten one past her mother. "We were so lucky yesterday," she replied to Kaci as the walked to school. "Your telling me. Every time I looked at my dad, or the phone rang, I thought for sure we were busted. I can't believe it was so easy." Kaci replied. "Want to do it again today?" Melissa asked with a smile. Kaci stopped and looked at Melissa like she was crazy. After a second or two she smiled at Melissa. "You bet I do. So what period do we skip this time," she asked as they got closer to school. "How about right now,"  Melissa asked. "Fine with me," Kacey replied. The girls went to the school, put their things in their locker and headed out on yet another fieldtrip. They were gone for first and second period and were to return just before third. They however became distracted by two cute boys at the local mall and decided to follow them. By the time they looked at a clock, lunch had just gotten over and period five had just started. The girls raced from the mall and ran back to the school. They took the stairs two at a time, but when they reached the top, there stood the principal. "Good afternoon girls, a bit late aren't we?" he asked as he continued to examine their faces. "We lost track of time for lunch. Thats why we are late sir," Melissa mumbled, as she watched the principal closely. Why don't you two girls come with me and we will get you notes for class," he replied as he turned and opened the door. Melissa and Kaci looked at each other and smiled as they followed the principal into the office. "Would you two girls please have a seat there and Mrs. Pringle will get your notes," he replied as he went to talk to her. Melissa and Kaci sat there and waited while they talked. The principal left and returned from somewhere in the back and looked at them. He then left and returned again. This time he had two files and several papers in his hands as he approached. I could tell by the look on his face that we had just been busted. "Both of you, come with me now," he ordered in a very stern voice. Melissa took hold of Kaci's hand and they followed him behind the counter, down a narrow hall and into his office. "Kaci, have a seat right there," he replied as he pointed to a row of chairs. "Melissa entered his office and took a seat as he closed the door and seated himself behind a rather large desk. He looked at some papers for a minute and gave her a quick glance. All she could think about at this point was if he called her mother. Ohh boy was she in serious trouble.... "Melissa, do you care to fill me in on the events of the last two days?" he asked as he looked sternly at me. "What do you mean,"  Melissa asked, as she looked at him and tried not to look guilty. "Young lady, you know what I'm talking about. You were absent for 2 periods yesterday and today you haven't even been in school. I want to hear what you have to say for yourself. "I, um, I , but Melissa knew she was caught and as she squirmed in her seat she could  almost already feel the heat that would come from that dreaded spatula. She knew her mother was going to tan her good. She didn't plan on getting caught so she hadn't thought of any excuses. Melissa quit talking and just stared at the floor. Mr Carson took his eyes from Melissa and shuffled through the papers once again. "Melissa," I have never had you in my office before,and according to your records you are a very good student. I want you to sit here while I go talk to your accomplice," he replied as he stood and left the room. Melissa looked around his office while staying seated. There were neumorous awards and plaques around the room. There was even a quite large paddle mounted on the wall just above the window. It surprised her and made her wonder if he ever swatted anyone with it. Melissa was pulled from my thoughts as the door opened and he once again he entered. This time Kaci took a seat next to her as Mr Carson made his way to his seat. "I want both of you to listen to what I have to say and take it to heart because I mean exactly what I say, Is that clear?" he asked as he pointed his pen at them. They both nodded but remained silent. They listened as he scolded them for skipping and lectured them to the importance of school. Tears were running down Melissa's face as he continued his lecture. He wasn't scaring her, but Melissa was worried that her mother would burst in any minute, spatula in hand and start spanking before she got a chance to say anything. Kaci was crying as well, worried about the yelling and punishment from her father too. Melissa  felt lucky that she only had to deal with her mother. "Do you two have anything to say before I hand out your punishment?" he asked as he handed each of us a kleenex. "No sir, they said in unison. He stood up and walked around and stood in front of the girls while he leaned on his desk. "I can see that you are remorsful for what you have done so I'm going to give you a chance to make it right. This is the first time I've spoken to either of you about anything, so I'm not going to call your parents. All kids try what you did at one time or another, but when you get caught, accepting your punishment is the best thing. At this point Melissa had stopped crying to better listen to what he was saying. I'm going to send a note home with each of you for your parents to sign. I know you will do the right thing and show it to them. I want it back tomorrow morning when you come to school and we will consider this matter dropped. If it happens again you will both be doing some time in detention. Have I made myself clear?" he asked as he handed each one of us an envelope. "Yes sir," Melissa replied. Kacey just shook her head. "As they started to leave,Melissa couldn't help but know. "Mr Carson, have you ever swatted any one with that paddle?" she asked as she pointed to it. Mr Carson looked at her and smiled. "I have never swatted anyone, so don't worry.But if you two can keep a secret, I will tell you, that was the paddle that the principal used when I went to school here, and believe me, it smarted," he replied with a smile. Mr Carson sent the two girls back to class with a reminder to bring the signed note to him first thing in the morning. After school, Melissa waited outside for Kaci so they could walk home together. "Are you ready?" Melissa asked. "No, I'm not ready. What are we going to do Melissa. I can't give this note to my parents,"  Kaci cried. "Well what do you think my mom is going to do when I give her the note?" Melissa asked as the girls walked toward home. "We don't have a choice now do we," Kaci asked. "Um, we could sign them ourselves," Melissa stated/ Kaci stopped and looked at Melissa. "Are you crazy! we are in deep already," she replied. "I can't show this note to my mom. Don't you see that the principal saved our butts when he gave us these notes. Since neither of our parents have signed any notes he hasn't seen their signatures, so it will work,"  Melissa claimed. Melissa, I can't. I have to tell my parents," Kaci said. If you tell, we aren't friends anymore," Melissa warned as she took off running down the street, leaving Kaci alone. When Melissa got home she called in to report to her mother and started in on her homework when there was a knock at the door. When she opened it, there stood Kaci. I'm sorry Melissa, but I'm scared. We are already in trouble and Mr Carson was so nice to give us this chance. Like he said, we have to own up to what we did," she reminded. "Ok, fine. Own up then, but you know for you thats gonna be the belt. Is that what you want?"Melissa asked  as she stood there with her arms crossed. "Noooo, It's not what I want, but what if we get caught?" she asked. "We won't get caught, but if we do, and we won't. It won't be any worse than what we would get tonight for owning up,"  Melissa stated. Kacey gave in and the girls spent a few minutes practicing their parents signature until they thought they had it just right. Melissa signed her mothers name and Kaci signed her dads name. They put the papers in their bags and promised to forget about them until tomorrow. When Melissa's mom got home, Kaci left. The next morning the girls headed to school and reported to Mr Carson with the notes. He took them and sent the girls to class. "Did you see that? he didn't even look at them," Kaci said. Stupid, just cause he didn't look now don't mean he won't later,"  Melissa replied. Melissa had been in her second period class less than five minutes when she was summond to the office. She didn't know for sure what it was about, but she was beginning to worry as she entered the office. "I was told to come to the office!"  Melissa said. "Yes. Come with me," the secratary replied. She took Melissa back to Mr Carson's office and told her to sit in the chair just outside. Melissa was getting really worried. She had a feeling it was about the note, but she had done such a good job there is no way he could possibly know. Just then his door opened and he called her in. Melissa slowly walked in and took the same seat she had been in just the day before, while Mr Carson leaned against his desk just in front of her. He reached back and picked up a piece of paper and handed it to Melissa. "Did you give this to your mom last night?" he asked. "Yes sir,"  Melissa replied. "Is this your moms signature?" he asked. "Yes sir," she again replied. "Melissa, he said in a disappointed voice. Did you sign this paper?" "No sir," Melissa replied, as she looked at Mr Carson. At this point Mr Carson took the paper from Melissa and seated himself in his chair. He reached to the phone and pressed a button. "Mrs Brown, I assume you heard your daughters response to my questions. "Yes I sure did Mr Carson,"  Becky replied on the speaker phone. Melissa's mouth dropped open when she heard her mothers voice. She was so dead. "I gave her every opportunity to confess and I must say, I'm surprised that she would sit here and lie to me like this,"  Mr Carson stated. As much as I hate to do it, Melissa is being suspended from school for three days," he spoke to Becky as he continued to look at Melissa. I'm going to have you come pick her up as soon as possible. The suspension starts tomorrow and she can return on Monday," Mr Carson continued. At this point Melissa remained silent. The only sound coming from her were sniffles and the tears that ran down her cheeks. "I will be there in twenty minutes Mr Carson," Becky answered.She then hung up the phone. Mr Carson once again approached Melissa with the paper and handed it to her. "Melissa I want you to look at me," he ordered. Melissa took the paper and with her tear stained face. She looked at Mr Carson. "I have never  paddled a child in my school, but if a parent signs a consent form giving their permission, the law permits me to do so. Young lady, you sat right here, looked me in the eyes and lied. I have never felt the need to paddle a student before, but I am this close (holding his fingers an inch apart) to asking your mother to sign the form. If any child needs a sound paddling, you would be that child," he scolded. "Ohhh Mr Carson, pleaseeeee don't do that,"  Melissa cried. "I gave you the chance to do the right thing. So now you give me one good reason why I shouldn't paddle your behind?" Mr Carson asked. "Because my mother is going to," Melissa  responded as she put her face in her hands. "Young lady, Look at me!" he sternly ordered. Melissa looked up at Mr Carson again. "Is that the truth?" he asked. "Yes sir, it is. Why do you think I signed that paper?" she cried. "Ohhh, I see. So your mother wouldn't find out about skipping and you wouldn't get spanked. Is that correct?" he asked. "Yes sir,"  Melissa sniffled. "Melissa, no one wants to be punished, but what you did was very wrong," Mr Carson  reminded as he took a seat next to Melissa. He then took hold of her chin and lifted it. "If you knew a spanking might be the result of your actions, then you shouldn't have skipped school. right?" he asked. "I didn't plan it. It just happened. I'm sorryyyyyyy," Melissa whimpered as the tears escaped from her eyes. "Melissa, I want you to listen carefully, he said in a now kind voice. I can't and won't do anything about how your mom chooses to discipline you once you leave this school. No punishment she gives you can make you learn your lesson if you truly think what you did wasn't wrong. I want you to spend some time thinking about this, and we will talk on Monday when you come back. With that, Mr Carson left Melissa alone. A few minutes later he returned to his office with Becky. She took a seat next to Melissa, as Mr Carson seated himself. "Melissa, your mother and I talked, and we have decided to help you just a little in your behavior. Your mother has signed one of those papers I told you about and.... "What? no noooo Mom nooo,"  Melissa cried in despiration, as she clutched the chair and began to cry again. Melissa, deliberate lies only get you into more trouble, and this is where we are now. If I act on your mothers given permission or not depends on you. Mrs Brown, you can take her home. Melissa and I will have a chat before school on Monday. Melissa, if I ever have you in my office again and you want to avoid getting paddled, then I suggest you tell the truth.  I suggest you behave yourself. "Mr Carson, what happened to my friend Kaci?"  Melissa asked. "I confronted her, and she told me the truth. I talked to her father and we have a meeting after school. Your friend told me the truth so she is only spending the rest of today in suspension. "So she ratted me out?" Melissa screeched. "No, she didn't. when I send notes home to get signed, I always call the parents to confirm the signature. So you see, the truth is always the best way to go." With that Melissa went home with her mother. "I'm sorry mom" Melissa said to her mother just a few blocks from the school. "Melissa, I just don't know what to do with you, The lying will stop, and it will stop today, right here and right now. When I get you home young lady, your bottom is going to wish your mouth had told the truth." "Mommma, pleaseee,"  Melissa cried. "Ohh now you beg and plead for forgiveness. You just sit there and don't say another word. You did all this of your own choosing so the next time I hear you make any sounds, will be the yelps and cries that come from you getting your naughty little bottom thoroughly tanned," Becky scolded. "Melissa just looked out the car window and cried as silent as she could, do to her mothers scolding and the fear of her upcoming spanking. How did she ever manage to get into so much trouble. As soon as they entered the house, Melissa went straight to her room like her mother told her to. She hadn't even been in her room more that two minutes when her mother entered, spatula in hand. Becky headed straight for her naughty child. "Momma nooooo please no," Melissa cried as she struggled to try to free herself from her mothers grip. She knew she was going to get spanked, but she just couldn't help herself. "Young lady, you stop right now,"  Becky ordered. "Nooo don't spank me please,"  Melissa cried. "Young lady, you have a spanking coming, but I'm tired of this game with you,"  her mother scolded. You make a choice. You obey me and I spank you, or you can fight me, in which case I call your father. With those words Melissa quit struggling. She knew a call to her dad would earn her the belt. It only took Melissa a second to make her decision and submit to her mother. Becky seated herself on the bed, instructed Melissa to strip from the waist down. Melissa didn't hesitate as the threat of a belt spanking from her father hung over her head. Becky then pulled Melissa over her knees. As she lay across her mother knees, she could feel the breeze from the window as goosebumps developed on her bottom. (spank) down came the spatula with a solid thud to Melissas bottom. (spank) Owww owee (spank)(spank)(spank)Oooohooo oww,Melissa cried (spank)(spank)(spank) Yowweee ohh hoo (spank)(spank)(spank)Owweee Mommyyy (spank)(spank)(spank)oww oww owwee (spank)(spank)(spank)The yelps and screeches continued as did Becky (spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)owww ohh hooo (spank)(spank)(spank)(spank) Mommyyyy owwweee (spank)(spank)(spank) the spanking was almost more than she could take as she yelped and kicked her legs. (spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)Owwwwwwhoowww eeeeeeee Melissa wailed. (spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)By now Melissa was in full cries and wails as her mother continued with the spatula. (spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)uhh owwohhh oweeeeee,  Melissa cried as she kicked her feet and tried to cover her bottom with her hand. (spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)owww owweee, Mommy was really spanking her good and she just wished for it to stop (spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)(spank)Melissa was limp and had stopped kicking. Her mother had really spanked her good. Her bottom felt like it was on fire and she swore to herself to always tell the truth from now on. Her bottom was pounding so, that she hadn't noticed her mother had stopped. Becky let Melissa stand and she immediately threw herself on her bed and cried. Becky sat there until Melissa had calmed a bit and then she softly spoke to her. "Melissa, I know you think I'm to hard on you, but one day you will understand. "Go away," cried Melissa Becky knew how upset Melissa was and knew they could talk later. When Becky left the room, Melissa picked up the phone and called her father. "Hello," her father answered. "Daddyyyyyyyyyy," Melissa cried, as she lost it, and wailed into the phone. "Melissa baby, what wrong?" he asked. "Momm um Mom spanked me hard, really harrrdddd," she cried. It hurts sooo baddddd. "Ohh, well calm down and tell me what happened," he said. Melissa and her father talked for more than thirty minutes. He eventually got everything from her. "Well Melissa, sounds like your mother did the right thing, and you should go tell her your sorry," he replied. "What???? but Daddy," Melissa cried. "Dont but Daddy me, young lady. Sounds like you've been in a bit of trouble and that's not what I want to hear. You have been very naughty, and if I hear of it again then you will deal with me instead of your mother. Do you understand?" he asked. "Yes sir," Melissa replied. She then hung up the phone.She couldn't believe he had scolded her like that. Melissa laid on her bed for a few more minutes before going downstairs to find her mother. She was in the kitchen making lunch when Melissa walked into the room. "Mom,"  Melissa called. "I'm sorry I've been so bad," she replied as the tears came rolling down. Becky took her child in her arms and held her tightly. " I know you are sweety, and all is forgiven. I love you and I know you will not make this mistake again. Melissa let her mother hold her for it made her heart feel so much better. She didn't get the sympathy she wanted and she had hurt her best friend and now she had the principal watching her. Things were a mess, but at least the spanking was over.
