In part one, Melissa enrolled in a vet school and later found out that the school used corporal punishment. Although she was 19 years old, she accepted this since she really liked the school. She got her first taste of the paddle on her initiation day at the school. According to the rules, each student would receive a spanking before their first class. She also learned that in each building, on each floor, was a room marked “AAA”. It was the Attitude Adjustment Area where a student would be taken for discipline. Also, each classroom contained a large wooden paddle with holes in it. The instructor would use the paddle at any time, for any reason, on any student.
A very loud bell rang out in the dormitory. Melissa woke up, and remembered that she was now living in a dorm room at a vet school. She quickly ran down the hallway to the bathroom and showers. There were plenty of towels and the other students advised her on how things were done in the dorm. After she showered and put on make-up, she made her bed and cleaned up the room. Since this was her first day of classes, she constantly checked with the manual, to make sure everything was done correctly. Since her roommate was also a new student, they struggled together to make sure everything was just perfect.
Then Melissa went to the cafeteria for breakfast. There was plenty to eat, but she was surprised that hardly anyone was in the cafeteria. She sat down at a somewhat messy table, and began to eat. Then to her surprise, she heard a bell rang. The vet school had a policy of sounding a bell three minutes before the class was to start. She wasn’t aware of the time since she was concerned about making her dorm room look nice and clean. Now she had only three minutes to get clear across campus and get seated in her first classroom. The bell would ring again as the classes would start. If you entered the classroom after the bell, you were subject to detention or punishment, depending on what the instructor wanted to do.
So Melissa quickly got up from the table and ran to the cafeteria doorway. To her surprise, a very large woman with an apron on was standing in the doorway.
“Please move, I need to get to class.” Melissa told her.
“Not until you clean up your mess. According to the rules, you always need to bus your own dishes in the cafeteria. In fact, since there is such a mess at the table you ate at, you need to clean up the whole table.” The large woman told her. “I will block you from leaving the cafeteria until you clean up the table.”
“Please let me out of here!” Melissa pleated.
“Either you clean up the table or I will take you to the AAA room right now.”
“I’ll clean it up.” Melissa said. She didn’t want to be spanked by this large woman, so early on her first day of classes. As Melissa bused the dishes and cleaned off the table, she heard the bell ring again and was aware she was missing part of her first class. Finally, the table was clean, and this large woman allowed her to leave the cafeteria.
It was against the rules to run on campus, so she walked very quickly to the classroom building. Melissa took the nearest stairway to the third floor. The classroom for her first class was 310, and when she got to what she thought was the room, it was labeled 310L. She looked in the room and no one was there. It also was a lab of some sort. Then she remembered that half of the rooms in the classroom building were labs. She now had to go down to the first floor, walk across the building to the stairway to the regular classrooms.
After rushing up the stairs, she finally found the room 310. The class was full of students and she could her a male teacher say, “We have introduced ourselves and I have explained how important it is to be on time for class, so now I can start your first lesson.”
Melissa decided to enter the classroom at this moment. As she opened the door, everyone glared at her.
“I am sorry I am late, I can explain why.” Melissa said.
The male teacher said, “Come up front and stand next to me. Then introduce yourself to everyone, and we will find out a lot about you. My name is Mr. Smith, your chemistry teacher.
“My name is Melissa, and I am a new student and this is my first class. I’m sorry that I was late.” Melissa said.
“I just gave a ten minute lecture on why it is important to be on time for my class.” Mr. Smith said. “All of these students were on time, and I want to use you as an example of what happens when a student arrives late to my class. In your case, you were twenty minutes late. That shows a lot of disrespect to both me and the other students.”
“But I can explain what happened!” Melissa interrupted. “I’m sorry.”
“Please don’t talk or interrupt me again, it will only make your punishment worst.” Mr. Smith said. “Also, the class will get to know you a lot better this way.
