It was a surprise when I saw Miss Evans, the trainee teacher who had sent me for the caning, waiting for me outside the Headmistress’ office.

- Hi, Johnson, I just wanted to know how went your visit to the Headmistress. I hope she was not too hard on you

- Well, she caned me as expected, Miss.

- Really? Did she? I am sorry about that, Johnson. The class was going a bit out of my control and you were seated in the front row, so I chose you for punishment. That was all, nothing you did especially wrong. It’s was not my intention to hurt you.

-  A caning, always hurts, Miss. Especially if the Head delivers it.

-  Well, I see it’s not the best moment to chat with you now so I better leave you alone. Just try to sit on a more discreet desk next time. 

By the way, are tears what I see in your eyes? Amazing, I didn’t expect senior boys being so sensitive!
