Dan just gave me the look that says ‘BULLLSHIT’ thankfully the teacher didn’t bother to question me. I just signed to myself and listened to the...teacher blabber on about taxation...or something.Class ended, though I didn’t give any thought to anything, I could only think about what I was going to do about Emily, I mean I was going to have to do something, I was going to get food with them soon and I knew I couldn’t just pretend I didn’t know so I thought I would just act cool. “You Okay Ralph.

Before she could even try to react, I told her "Count every one, and don't lose the count."I'm sure that was just entering into her thoughts, as the first flat hand hit her ass."I said count, bitch!" One Sir!" Two Sir!" Three Sir"I took it all the way to ten, she counted all of them, and never cried out once, though I could hear her grunt with each one.I don't even want to imagine what kind of shit she had gone through to learn not to cry out in pain.There was a few "firsts" for all of us here,.
