- The Education of Kelly@END_FILE_ID.DIZ
-
-
- She's pretty in a soft, tiny, fragile way. No more than
- five feet tall, but her body was designed for the frame, as if
- someone stood back with a pair of calipers and worked out all the
- proportions before translating all the data to flesh. Her hair
- is blonde, and her eyes are that deep sea green you see in cat's
- eyes.
- And she's smart, though it seems for the last several weeks
- she's been preoccupied with something. When the final exam date
- arrives, she comes into the room nervous, unlike the Kelly I've
- gotten to know in the last twelve weeks. I've been doing this
- long enough to know that something's eating at her, but I don't
- know what until thirty minutes into the test. I'm sitting there
- at the front of the room, occasionally scanning the faces in
- front of me, especially those whom I've suspected of taking
- liberties with the idea of "fair use" and "plagiarism," but I
- seldom see cheating on exams. This time when I look up, though,
- Kelly's absorbed in looking into the palm of her hand, and she
- senses me watching. I stare, and her face blushes crimson.
- She's flustered, but the hand goes under the desktop.
- When it's over, I catch her on the way out. "I need to see
- you before you get off campus today," I tell her, and for a
- minute I think she's going to faint.
- "Yes sir," she says, and she rushes away.
- At two o'clock there's a tentative knock on the door, and
- Kelly steps over the threshold. "Close the door," I say. "We
- need to talk."
- She sits opposite me, and before I've said a word, she's
- crying about scholarships, bad relationships with boyfriends, and
- required social functions. "I've never done anything like this
- before," she says. "I knew I'd get caught."
- I had her a tissue from the box in my desk. "You know the
- penalty for cheating on an exam, don't you?" She nods. Her eyes
- are red and puffy, and she can't seem to get her nose dry.
- "Immediate expulsion," I say, and I watch the words hit her. Her
- back straightens, then sags, and her hands go to her face.
- "I can't get kicked out. My parents ... " she says, and the
- words hang there. She raises her head again and looks at me.
- Her voice is quivering. "I can't. Is there anything I can do?"
- she asks.
- "Kelly, this is serious trouble for your entire academic
- career, and it's not good for me, either. I'm giving up teaching
- at the end of this semester, and I want my last week to be
- pleasant. The only choice I have is to go to the dean with
- charges of academic dishonesty, write a report, and sit back
- waiting until there's a hearing. You'll have to show up, of
- course, and the appeals committee will decide what to do with
- you."
- "Then everyone will know?"
- "The hearings are confidential, Kelly, but there'll be
- several faculty members on the committee." I let this sink in.
- "You might have classes under one or more of them later."
- "I can't," she says, and her hands go to her face again.
- "I'll do anything, Dr. Grimes. I couldn't handle it." She looks
- at me. "Anything," she says, and her voice is strong.
- I sit back and consider her. She's pretty and smart, and
- she seems determined. "That's a big word, Kelly. Can you be
- more specific?" I know I'm taking a chance, but I don't intend
- to teach anymore, and a small scandal probably wouldn't cause
- permanent injury to my reputation. I'm fed up with education.
- "I mean that," she says. "I don't..." she thinks for a
- minute. "I don't have a lot of experience, but I'd do what you
- want."
- "That might be more than you bargained for," I tell her.
- She's made up her mind. "Anything. Just tell me."
- So we make a deal, and I tell her that I'm taking her at her
- word. She's going to move into my home for an entire weekend,
- from Friday until Monday, and for that time I'll collect on my
- "anything." "Nothing's simple, Kelly," I tell her as she's
- leaving, and she stops. For a minute I wonder if she has any
- idea, and I doubt it.
- She shows up at my door on Friday at one o'clock, and I'm
- actually surprised. I didn't give her any details of the payment
- I'm going to exact for my silence, and if she's as inexperienced
- as I think she is, there's no doubt she's going to be surprised.
- I let her in and motion to the couch. I take the small bag she's
- carrying and set it by the door. "I'm here," she says. She's
- wearing a short wraparound skirt in Black Watch plaid and a
- matching vest opened over a white, longsleeved blouse. She tries
- for a grin. "I bet you didn't expect me, huh?"
- "I don't know what I expected, Kelly. I wasn't completely
- clear on how much you'd have to pay for your ... transgression."
- She straightens her skirt as I sit beside her. "I thought
- about it, and if I get kicked out, I'll never get back in
- college. So here I am," she says. Her eyes are wide, letting
- her curiosity show through, but there's no fear in them.
- "I'm glad you're here, but we must understand each other," I
- tell her. "I don't know how much you know about sex," I say, and
- I watch her react to the word, "but some people aren't
- particularly contented with what you might call 'normal'
- relationships." She has no idea what I'm talking about, but I
- see the curiosity there. "If you want, you can walk out and I'll
- give you a failing grade in the course without any explanation,
- but if you stay, you're here until your commitment is over."
- She chews her lower lip. "I wanted to graduate at the end
- of the year, and your class isn't offered again until next fall.
- I have so many hours to take I couldn't fit it in even if it
- was." Her eyes close, and she takes a deep breath. "I'm not
- leaving," she says, and she shivers just a little.
- "Just so long as we understand each other," I say. "So we
- can begin." I take her hand and lead her to the master bedroom.
- I've slept in the smaller bedroom since my divorce, and I've had
- three days to get this one ready for her. At the door she
- surveys the room. The heavy storm shutters are closed on the
- outside, so the only light is from the overhead fixture, though
- I've set up a portable floodlight which points at a heavy oak
- chair against one wall. Against the opposite wall is a 25"
- television on a stand, and next to this is a video camera on a
- tripod. A VCR is on a shelf under the TV. In the far corner
- I've set up a futon, which is folded out into a bed. "You'll
- spend most of your time this weekend in here, Kelly, unless I
- decide we need to be elsewhere." I point to the bathroom door.
- "When you go in there, you're not allowed to close the door," I
- say, and she gets that first little panicky look, like a small
- deer first sniffing the wild dog pack from a distance. "You'll
- wear what I tell you, and you'll obey without question.
- Understood?"
- She looks around the room again, then turns back to me and
- nods. "Yes sir," she says, but her voice is soft, hard to hear.
- I turn on the monitor and the camera and start the VCR in
- long play mode; the chair comes into sharp focus on the screen.
- "Go stand in front of the chair, Kelly." She pauses, but she
- does it. Her eyes lock on the image of herself on the screen,
- and I pan the camera down her body to the hem of her skirt.
- "Lift your skirt," I say, and the panic in her eyes becomes
- clearer. "Now," I say, and her hands go down to the edge of the
- cloth as if she's a machine in control of some operator in a
- control room. "Lift it, Kelly." The cloth begins to rise, and
- when her panties come into view, she's staring into the monitor
- as if she's someone else, a voyeur looking through a window. Her
- panties are light blue cotton, trimmed at the leg openings with
- white lace. "Turn around," I say, and she seems relieved. "Pull
- your skirt up so I can see your ass," I tell her, and this time
- she doesn't hesitate. Her panties are pulled up a bit, and the
- small, firm cheeks show the tanlines of a modest bikini.
- I let her stand like that for a minute. "How do you feel,
- Kelly?"
- Instead of words she gives off a little whimper, then
- catches her breath and tries again. "I'm sorry," she says, and I
- wonder if she's sorry for what she's done or what she thinks
- might happen to her next.
- "Not all that long ago, maybe fifty years, punishment in
- school was sudden and final, Kelly. Not in college, certainly,
- but in the secondary schools." Her back straightens, and there's
- a little quiver in her thighs. "You know what's coming, don't
- you?"
- "Yes sir," she says, and I can barely hear her.
- "I want you to push your panties down to your ankles and
- bend over the chair. Put your hands flat on the seat and wait.
- She reaches up to the waistband and catches it with her thumbs,
- and she only hesitates for a second before pushing them down her
- legs. When she bends over, just the bottom of her ass is visible
- under the skirt, and I can see a little of her slit showing. I
- step over to her and raise the skirt all the way, laying it out
- over her back. When I reach down and touch her lips, she
- recoils, and I take hold of the soft flesh of her thigh between
- thumb and forefinger to pull her back. "Never pull away from
- me," I say, and she nods. I step to the camera and zoom in on
- her, cropping the picture in the viewfinder just above her knees,
- and high enough to show the slope of her back. I leave her there
- and go out of the room. When I return with the two-foot section
- of quarter-inch dowel rod, I place a hand on her left thigh and
- hold the rod in front of her so she can see it. I feel her
- reaction in my hand.
- "English private schools gave canings to schoolboys who
- misbehaved, Kelly, and I think as penance that's quite
- appropriate for you. You're not to remove your hands from the
- chair. If you do, I'll start from the beginning until you've had
- all your strokes." I let her consider this for a moment.
- "You'll get ten if you hold still, but under no circumstances
- will I stop until you've had ten consecutive strokes without
- moving. Understood?"
- She nods. She's crying softly, the tears falling onto the
- velour cushion of the old oak chair. "Yes sir," she finally
- says.
