The Swimmer's Dilemma (for Jinchu)

[zae]

(Disclaimer: everyone involved is 18 or older)

Miss Bertram, headmistress of the Yorkshire Academy for Young Ladies, sighed as she looked over the report. The swimming finals were coming up, and yet one of the lead swimmers for the entire school had managed to make a name for herself. Susan Johns, a very gifted swimmer who unfortunately had a knack for acting out, had once again committed a number of things. For a moment, Miss Bertram was tempted to outright suspend the girl, or at the very least assign her detention and ban her from attending the finals.

But then again... she considered the trophy. A victory would certainly bring prestige to their school. And she would be furious if Chelsea Grammar defeated them again. No, she couldn't do that. There was no other option then: it had to be the cane. She spoke to her secretary, who checked the files to see where Susan was, and then sent one of the teachers on their way...

All too soon, there was a knock on a classroom door, and a teacher popped his head into the classroom.

"Sorry to interrupt, but is Susan Johns here? Miss Bertram needs to see her rather urgently."

[Jinchu]

That was one of the cases then Susan actually was in class recently it became a habbit to he to skip classes, for she knew she'll garduate and go to the good college thanks to her ioutstanding sports results. She stood up from her board. Susan was not very tall, but had an athletic, yet attractive figure - wide shoulders, pointy C-cup breasts, flat tummy and fit muscular spheres of buttocks.

"Oh, what now?.. Ok, I'm coming." Susan said, yawning for show. She grabbed her bag and followed the teacher.

In fact the girl had some theories why would the headmistress need her. Aside of skipping lessons and even tests sometimes, Susan started to bully other students at some point - she was stringer then them and she was better then them (she was a future champion, and they?! Ha!), so why not? She saw it as an innicent hobbie, but the old hag would probably make a fuz over it...

Once the star swimmer entered the room, Miss Bertram raised her head and looked at her.

"Ah, good. I was expecting you, yes. Just put your bag down there, and come sit over here. I assume by your track record that I wasn't interrupting anything important for you - it wasn't a swimming session, so it can't have been anything you were really paying attention to anyway..."

As she sat there, waiting for Susan to take the seat, she just tapped her fingers on the desk. Really, part of her wanted to hit the girl where it hurt by not letting her go to the swimming contest. That probably would hit the hardest and make her sorry. But then again, she also wanted the school victory, and besides, it was perhaps a little too late: without the swimming victory, she would probably have to rely on her abysmal grades, and her future would be ruined.

And of course, another part of her felt it would only be proper to thrash the lesson into Susan. So when she spoke, she watched for any sign of emotion on the girl's face.

"Skipping lessons, missing tests, bullying, a bad attitude... the list goes on. Frankly, it's enough that I could suspend or expel you on this. Obviously the swimming finals are out of the question..."

[Jinchu]

Susan threw the beg on the floor and took a seat - in avery relaxed pose, crossing her legs and dangling it in the air. She was not worried at all and so no reasone to show too much respect to the headmistress. After all, that was Miss Bertram who needed her for school's prestige, while Susan earned everything for herself and all by herself.

The girl yawned explictly again as the woman listed all of her "sins."

"I know all this. But I also know, and you know that too, that detention or expelling are not options. You need me to go to swimming finals, I'm the best in that school and the ibly one who can win you gold for sure. So why we're waisting each other's time, Miss Bertram?.." Susan asked in an indiferent voice.

[zae]

"Well, I guess there's no fooling you. You're not going to be scared off by a threat like that."

However, Miss Bertram didn't just dismiss the girl. Instead, she stood up and turned to her cupboard. Opening it, she started looking through the many implements hanging in there.

"I guess instead, we'll just have to handle this the old-fashioned way. Hmm... I think this should do nicely..."

So saying, she stepped back, revealing what she had chosen from the cupboard: a long, eerily thick cane from the cupboard. It had a curved handle, and seemed quite flexible.

"So if you would be so kind, I need you to remove your underpants, then bend over the desk and raise your skirt. You'll get a warm-up by hand, then I think a full dozen of the best with this, and then I'll finish up with a sound strapping for you."

[Jinchu]

Susan fidgeted nervously. She had experienced such punishments a few times earlier, before her swimming talents came to light, and those were not pleasant memories. She didn't want to fresh them up.

"And what if I refuse? As we've already established, you can't keep me from taking part in swimming finals, so why don't I just come out of this room with my undies on?" Susan said, trying not to show fear in her voice.

She really stood up, but didn't go anythere, waiting for the headmistress' answer, somehow feeling like that was important and that she didn't wiggle out of this completely yet.

The headmistress sighed, slowly circling the girl. Already she stood between Susan and the door, and was holding the cane in both hands.

"This thrashing is your alternative to being expelled. The other option, of course, is I just wait until after the finals and expel you then. We get our trophy, you can try your luck bartering your success against the expulsion on your record and see if you can negotiate a college entrance that way. You certainly won't get into Cambridge mind you...

Or you can just be a grown-up and accept your punishment here and now."

She fixed Susan with a level stare, as though daring her to try to come up with something else.

[Jinchu]

Susan gulped. Somehow untill that moment she had a feeling that the school was fully depending on her and she did not depend on the school at all. Now she suddenly realised, that even a great sportswoman would find it hard to go to good college without previous education at all... And to think of it, Susan had dug her own grave by skipping classes and failing on the "unimportant" tests...

"I... I'm sorry, ok? I went to far. I know it." she stepped back - both literally and figuratively. "b-but can't we discuss it still? I mean, I'm sorry for skiping classes and everything, I'll do better from now on. But you can't actually cane me, Miss Bertram! I mean... The marks down there, the would be seen with my swimsuit on! That would be a shame, you can't make me go through it! And the school wouldn't look good in that case, I presume." The girl tried to talk with confidance which she hadn't now.

[zae]

"Oh yes... the marks, that would show. The skimpy swimsuits do ride up rather a bit, with half of your bum cheeks exposed, everyone would see the welts. We can't be having that... I suppose they might even create water resistance and slow you down, seeing as even leg hair can do that."

She stood in thought for a few seconds.

"I've got it! I have a solution that will work for both of us. Go ahead and take your knickers off still, you can just leave them on the desk. Then bend over and expose your bottom just like I asked. Because I have just the thing."

[Jinchu]

Susan gave a start. She expected the solutiion taht would work for both of them (at least for her!) to be the one that doesn't include baring her bottom at all. Like, writing an additional essey at home or training even more... Something along that lines!

But the headmistress' look earlier kinda hypnotized the girl. She was used to be on top, the strongest, the most respected, smply the one who rules. With Miss Bertram she was not on top, and that somehow decreased her will to fight back and protest. Blushing and biting her lip nervously, Susan took off her knickers and pu them on the desk. Then sje raised her skirt completely and bent over. The headmistress was right about the hair, so Susan epilated everythere but her head, and her intimate parts were bare and silky smooth, as Miss Bertram could now see rather well.

"B-but is that necessery, ma'am?.. I'm sure we can... we can just talk about it and I'll work off my skipped tests on holidays?.. And what exectly is that solution?.." the girl asked unsurely, looking back over her shoulder.
