Looking for a spanked for rp

[Karuna]

Karuna is a runaway and an delinquent at worst however when she finds herself being forced to move in with her principal, who acts as a guardian of sorts. The principal is patient and fair with the girl however sometimes a more firm stance has to be taken. As tine goes on the teen starts seeing the woman as a mother, though she is very nervous about admitting that.


(I would prefer this being F/f but I am open to other pairings)

The afternoon sun streamed in through the ancient mullioned windows into a spacious oak panelled and book lined office, the slanting beams of light picking out in excessive detail the hanging motes of dust apparently dancing in the eddying air in an approximation of Brownian Motion. In other circumstances the brown haired figure seated behind the desk might well have noticed and taught the class about the physics involved in the various phenomena but instead she simply re-read the letter in front of her, the reddish light glinting off her half moon glasses and giving Katherine Latimer the aura of a greater years than the 37 year old principal of St. Juniper's Academy had yet achieved.
That poor kid she thought, as if losing both your parents suddenly to a light aircraft failure in the high Andes wasn't bad enough, her time in foster care had been fraught with difficulties; frequent changes whether caused by lack of understanding or impossible behaviour on her part the upshot being that little Karuna, who was waiting in the outer office was feeling both bereft and abandoned by one and all while still dealing with her recent bereavement!
Perhaps she should call social services and have the girl taken back into care .. but that so went against the grain of Kat's philosophy. She had been toying with the dilemma for some while now and her eyes wandered, as they frequently did, to the photograph of her only daughter Millie sitting on her desk in its gilt frame. Millie had ever been the happiest of souls as Down's Syndrome children so often are, but also alas, frequently short-lived. The huge void in Kat's life was not entirely filled by her work with the girls and staff here at St Junipers but just maybe this situation could best be managed by taking unusual measures!
Snapping into action with unseemly haste Kat removed the spectacles from her nose and threw them onto the letter, thrust back her chair and strode into the outer office to talk with Karuna. She had the space in her home, room in her heart and the burning need to nurture and love a young confused girl. “Obviously she can't replace Millie any more than I can replace her parents but maybe it will prove to be of mutual benefit! I'll certainly make the offer to her.”
Kat opened the door and instantly and unconsciously donned the mantle of Miss Latimer MA (Oxon), as her eyes took in the details of the room and the sullenly slumped figure in her carelessly worn uniform.
“Would you like to come in Karuna? I'd like to see if I can be of some help to you, dear.”

[Karuna]

"Do I have any real choice?" Karuna asked in an obvious mood as she stood up, although she didn't make eye contact. What was the difference between this and any other teacher? She was probably just going to be shipped back somewhere else after all, wasn't that what most adults did to her?



Sighing she figured that she may as wells get this talk over with, especially since she couldn't remember the last time that she had stayed in one place for longer than just a few months. As she walked into the office she slumped into a seat in front of the desk, after all she had been before a principal multiple times before and this time wouldn't be any different.


"You said that you thought you could help me? How exactly?" she questioned, figuring that she would just cut to the chase and get all this over with.

Kat looked with dismay at the sullen figure slumped in front her desk. Her motherly instincts made her want to hug the child close while her 'teacherly' impulse was to tell the girl to stand up straight with her hand behind her back and wait until she was given permission to sit! In the end she did neither.
“Let's not sit up at my desk just now, come over here where it's more comfortable please.”
Kat indicated the green leather upholstered armchairs which faced an old fashioned fireplace with a low table between. Karuna appeared to be surprised at the suggestion but her principal went ahead and sat herself down in one of the comfortable chairs, looked at the still seated figure and raised her eyebrows invitingly.
“I expect you know I've had reports from various members of my staff about some difficulties you and they have been experiencing, Karuna, and things simply cannot carry on as they are! I would very much like to listen to you your side of things over tea and cakes. Please don't worry that anything you say will get back to Miss Prenderghast who has apparently suffered most at your sharp tongue, this is purely between you and I for the moment.”
As it on cue the outer was tapped on then opened to reveal the secretary bearing a tray with teapot, cups, jug, plates and a small assortment individual cakes.
“Here on the table please, Miss Mountford! Come Karuna, won't you join me?”

[Karuna]

Karuna was confused as she came over and sat in the chair. "Uh...Okay...Ma'am." she began, unsure of what to do or say. this was unlike anything she had ever experanced before. why isn't she yelling or something? she wondered as she sat there, not sure if this was a test or a trap or what.



"What difference will it make? I'm sure that your mind is already made up." she said softly, not daring to make eye contact. "what do you want me to say?" she didn't mean to have attitude although when she was stressed out her voice did come out ruder than she meant it to.

Kat looked at the uncomfortable girl who was still refusing to look her in the eye as she perched awkwardly on the edge of her chair.
“Well one of the things I would like you to tell me is why a gifted and intelligent girl like you Karuna is being so disruptive in class? Why are you refusing to attend your piano lessons when you clearly can play so well?”
Kat had a very good idea but the girl needed to articulate her feelings, allow herself to build up trust in an adult again.
“Now, how do you like your tea, dear, I have mine with milk but no sugar.”
As there was no immediate response on the matter of tea Kat poured her cup first before offering the plate of fancies to Karuna.
“You know there are some around here who think St. Junipers is not the right environment for you, Karuna, I'm sorry to say, and they are encouraging me to find a place elsewhere for you. I want you to know how strongly I disagree with that view and know that you could blossom here but we need to find a way forward that's acceptable to all parties! Now, please have a cup of tea and we can have a nice friendly chat; what do you say?”
Kat smiled encouragingly at the girl attempting once again to raise the temperature of the atmosphere that was still present.

[Karuna]

"I guess with milk." she answered before sighing "because I have too many memories linked to piano lessons okay? I don't really want to talk about it nor do I want to do it." she stated, deflating a bit as she slumped into her seat, tea all but forgotten in front of her.



after a few minutes she finally took a small sip of the drink, trying to control her thoughts and emotions before she ended up making a mistake.



"If everyone wants you to ship me off somewhere, why don't you? I mean, it's not like you are making money on my tuition or something...I am literally the freak in foster care that isn't from some wealthy well to do family that thinks their shit don't stink." she muttered, not caring if she did get in trouble for the statement because that was how she felt. Everyone seemed to remind her of her place in the world, always reminding her that she had basically been abandoned.

[Melakka]

Kat watched as Karuna battled the inner turmoil within and while she disapproved of the way the girl articulated her anger at the unfairness of her situation she was very pleased the girl had opened up at least a little.
“If I always listened to the crowd and didn't think for myself I wouldn't have become Principal here at such a relatively young age. I am an educator by profession and inclination Karuna and I do not want let the pleasure of teaching an able girl such as yourself falling to someone else when I have the opportunity to help you here. It has nothing to do with finance and while you are yet to find a comfortable niche here I am quite sure you would struggle just as much anywhere else .. unless the cycle of self destruction can be broken.”
Kat's heart was all but breaking for the 'lost teen' sat across from her but desperately tried to keep a professional tone to her voice.
“I know I can help you, Karuna, and I dearly want to. I want all my students to find a settled place in the world and you need more help in that regard than any of them right now. I want to help you if you'll let me.. and quite honestly you'd be helping me to!”
Kat couldn't stop the tears that were filling her eyes and turned her head away blinking furiously.

[Karuna]

this caught her off guard. The principal couldn't have been about to cry, could she?

"I...I don't understand Ma'am and why are you...upset?" she asked timidly as she reached over and touched the woman's hand but pulled away quickly.


"Um...sorry." she stated, adverting her gaze again as she asked softly "I just don't understand why you want to help me?"

[Melakka]

Miss Katherine Latimer had almost recovered her composure when she felt the girl touch her hand, albeit fleetingly, it was exactly the way Millie used to try to comfort her mum, even on her death bed! Kat turned her head to look again at Karuna but could not prevent a fugitive tear trickling down her left cheek.
"I am upset because I'm remembering someone who was so close to me, dear, I apologise if I worried you."
Kat dabbed her eye with a napkin as the girl returned her gaze back to her feet.
"I want to help you because I want to see all my charges reach their full potential. I want to help you as you are such a lost soul at the moment and I want to help you to help myself too. I'll tell you much more if you're interested but please be assured I am genuine in my desire, able to fulfill the task which won't be without pain but ultimately benefit the both of us!"
Kat took a deep breath and tried to recover herself. She'd spoken awkwardly and carelessly and was worried she'd scared the child.
"How about another cup of tea? I know I need one"
