       Bailey Stewart’s uniform was exactly in place.  Seeing him, one
       wouldn’t know that it hadn’t been fifteen minutes since he’d
       stood, bent over, with his trousers around his ankles, his boxer
       briefs around his  knees, and his various upper garments either
       off or rolled up to leave his buttocks completely exposed.
       Bailey had fought hard to be brave and keep control, but it had
       been the worst punishment he’d ever received.  He’d gained
       control of his crying rather quickly, but his eyes were still
       raw and his nose was stuffed up.  Of course, even though it was
       still a few days before the winter solstice, one wouldn’t know
       that by the weather, and someone could have been forgiven
       Bailey’s sniffs and red eyes were the result of a virus or even
       just the frigid wind blowing outside.
       Still, there was little doubt as to what the cause of Bailey’s
       condition actually was, at least not to one who knew what he was
       about.  It was revealed in his stiff legged gait; nearly
       waddling as he tried to move without flexing his legs.  One
       who’d been in the same condition would no doubt recognize the
       desire to move without flexing the buttocks and risking
       reigniting the fire that a certain clear paddle had sunk deep
       into the gluteal muscles.  And at King’s Academy, the members of
       that brotherhood were hardly rare.
       Mr. Addler walked beside Bailey, trying to be slow and not
       impatient, since he’d actually seen the cause of the boy’s
       distress.  Still, Mr. Addler had paperwork of his own with which
       to deal, and it was hard not to resent the amount of time this
       was taking from his day.
       As they reached his locker, Bailey was finally able to stand
       still, which was a great relief to him.  He took a moment just
       to sigh and relax, tempted to reach behind him to rub. Mr.
       Addler picked that moment to clear his throat, so, instead,
       Bailey reached for the combination lock.
       “Personal property only, Mr. Stewart,” Addler reminded him.
       Finals were over, and there was only one day left of school
       before Christmas vacation began.  Once upon a time, finals had
       ended on the last day before vacation started, but an ill-timed
       snow storm pointed out what a bad idea that was.  Now the
       students had a day or two of light duty - mostly used to clean
       and celebrate the holidays - at least as long as they weather
       cooperated.
       Still, Bailey winced at the reminder of his situation.  He
       didn’t really even want to think about it, but there was going
       to be a hearing to decide if he’d even be allowed to continue at
       King’s Academy, much less under what conditions.  He had a vague
       idea of what that might entail, but he knew his dad would find
       out all the details and let him know.  Not that talking to his
       father was going to be pleasant.
       Bailey hadn’t bothered to carry any school books with him, so he
       only slid a few things into his bag - folders, Christmas cards
       from friends, a novel he’d been reading, and a small, wrapped
       box he’d not had a chance to deliver.
       “Have you heard from Ms. Russell?” he asked.
       “Not since this morning,” Mr. Addler replied.  “That wasn’t even
       her, I guess.  We just know she was in a wreck and was taken to
       the hospital.  I assume they’ll call when they have news.”
       Bailey just nodded, unsure what to do next, but he finally
       slipped the box into his bag.
       As soon as the locker was shut, Mr. Addler didn’t quite grab
       Bailey by the arm, but he did lead him quickly back to the
       office, more concerned about getting back to his own work than
       with the boy’s discomfort.
       Thirty minutes later, Bailey was sitting on an uncomfortable
       bench outside the office.  The bench was backless and without
       padding, so it wouldn’t have been comfortable even for someone
       in a normal situation.  For Bailey, it was nearly torture.  Yet,
       when he’d tried to stand, he’d been told to sit.  A few minutes
       later, he was called down for fidgeting too much.  While he was
       willing to risk the displeasure of a receptionist, when she
       offered to let him stand, facing the wall, until his father
       arrived, he tried to make himself settle down a bit.
       And waiting for his father was another thing.  He knew his dad
       was going to be unhappy over this.  When Mr. Addler had returned
       him to the office, Bailey had been unhappy about having to make
       his way home in the cold, windy weather; but not half as unhappy
       as he’d been after they informed him that he couldn’t leave on
       his own, and that his father was on his way to pick him up.
       Bailey was able to see the main door to the school from where he
       sat, and every time the door twitched, so did he.  When it
       finally opened to his father, his stomach fell to the floor.
       Mr. Stewart was plainly not happy. Bailey knew part of it was
       the whole situation, but he also knew how upset his father was
       whenever he had to leave work.  Having to leave work for this
       situation was probably making his dad exponentially more
       unhappy.  All of that was very evident in the look with which
       Mr. Stewart pierced his son.
       Bailey started to rise as his father approached him, but his dad
       just waved him back, then entered the office.  While Bailey
       wasn’t happy to remain seated, at least the burning sensation
       had faded, even if his butt still ached.  Another ten minutes
       dragged by before his father finally came back out.
       Whatever had happened in the office, it hadn’t made his father
       any happier.
       “Let’s go,” Mr. Stewart told his son.
       Bailey stood, carefully, grabbed his bag, and followed his
       father out.  While they walked, he tried to judge his father’s
       tone of voice.
       As they crossed the parking lot, Mr. Stewart dug into his
       pocket, unlocking the car as they approached.  Bailey circled
       around and climbed into the passenger’s seat, putting his bag at
       his feet.  The car started, and some classic rock-style
       Christmas music began to play, but his father clicked the music
       off.
       Bailey’s father remained silent as he maneuvered the car out of
       the parking lot and into the street.

       I was confused for a moment because Mr Allard had turned into Mr
       Addler, but enjoying the story. It looks like poor Bailey is in
       serious trouble.
