Chapter 3 - Punishments Maria’s POV: I woke up literally the next day, at 4 AM my eyes were sharp open and I decided to shower instead of going out because the woman warned me about roaming outside at these hours.   I showered for an hour and wore on my uniform. It was a blue, navy s**t and a small skirt. I wore black socks that reached up to my knees and a pair of black boots. I straightened my hair and tied it up in a high ponytail because my hair gets frizzy after showering. I applied some makeup, not anything extra just a bit of transparent gloss and some mascara. I checked my schedule and took the books that were necessary. I placed them inside the bag. Tidied up my room and kept everything in place. By the time I was done, it was 8 AM and my stomach was growing. Suddenly, knocks came up on the door. My eyebrows furrowed and I opened to door to find out a few girls. “So you are the new girl?” One of the girls came very close to me and asked. “Yes,” I replied. “Yay! We haven’t had a new girl in our batch since so long.” She threw her hands on the air and her friends did the same. “Anyways, I’m Monica and this is Amber and that Nat.” Monica said while pointing at the two girls. Amber was a blonde and Nat was a brunette and Monica had maroon hair which she probably dyed. Me, black. “Nice to meet you, I’m Maria.” I smiled while shaking their hands. “Nice name! Let’s go for breakfast,” Monica said as she grabbed my hand and pulled me out. “Hold up, let me get my bag,” I said as I walked back inside to get my bag where all my things were. After getting my bag, I went with them outside. I locked my room and we all went to the cafeteria which was just a few minutes away. “This is a private cafeteria for Year 11 and 12 only because we are adults!” Amber screamed as she came inside the cafeteria. “How old are you?” Monica asked after a short moment. “18,” I shrugged. “Same!" She replied. "I skipped a year when I was young,"  We chit chatted for a while. I realized that Monica and Amber were two popular girls but people kept their distance from them. They only said hi and then left. I wandered why? I had my breakfast which was okay not to delicious and then I left the girls and went for my classes. My first class was English Literature. Okay, not bad. The day went pretty good. Everything seemed fine. The teachers were great and helpful. That’s how the week passed by. A few tests came in and I got good marks in all of them. Everything was so far smooth. But something unusual often happened to girls in my class. They were always sent out to get punished and to get disciplined. Lectures of discipline and respect were often given. That’s the only thing that ticked me off about this school. There was something that I was surely missing. Someone wasn’t telling me something for sure! I needed to find about it. I also got close to the three girls, we often secretly stayed in each other’s room and slept. Talked about a bunch of things. I talked about my previous school and they were surprised to learn how much freedom I had before. Even now I had it right? After the first week, the second week came along and I still kept wondering what I was missing. On one of my math classes, I learned the secret of this school. The class was going perfectly until Amber threw a ball of rolled up paper inside the dustbin from her seat. She believed the teacher wouldn’t notice her but she did. “Get up,” The math teacher said to Amber who immediately got up. “What was that?” The teacher asked. “Sorry miss, I won’t do it again!” Amber replied while looking down on the floor. This was a class of 20 girls. “Come out and bend over the desk,” The math teacher said. At that moment, I just chewed half of my nail on what she said. Confused as hell, I just kept looking at Amber with pity as she got spanked with a cane on her ass. I was disgusted and confused. She hit the cane on her ass 10 times in front of the entire class. I was going to cry if she didn’t stop. That must have felt painful. Once she was done, Amber went back to her seat, while she was walking back she looked at me and winked and then rolled her eyes at the teacher. Devastated, I got up from the seat and approached the teacher in silence. “I’m sorry to interrupt you, but that’s a very horrible way to maintain discipline and that’s a very disgusting punishment as well!” I whispered to the math teacher who was calmly sitting on her seat. When I said that, it got a little louder and some people behind me gasped. The teacher looked up at me with anger and confusion too. “Are you questioning the school’s system?” The teacher asked. I leaned down to her and nodded my head. Her mouth opened and then she closed it like it was her first time someone told her something like this. Her hand reached out to a slip and she wrote something on it and gave it to me. I took it from her hands and read it. “Go to the headmaster,” The math teacher said. Master? Male? In a girls school? “But I didn’t do anything,” I stuttered. I wasn’t going to go the headmaster for doing nothing at all. On the slip, it was written, use of abusive language, questioning of schools discipline system and disturbance in class. I hadn’t done any of it. This woman was just exaggerating like heck. “Reasons are written. You’re allowed to attend any of the classes until this slip is signed by the headmaster, you may leave now.” The teacher said as she continued to teach the class. I just stepped back while holding the slip and looked at the class who was all focused on me instead of what the teacher was saying. “Everyone! Attention on the class. Girls will get punished accordingly of what they have done, anyone wants to go with her can stand up and leave!” The math teacher yelled. Amber looked at me with pity. I furrowed my eyebrows, trying to ask her what the f**k was happening but she just placed her finger on her neck and drew it back and forward like I was going to get murdered. I walked out of the class so I wouldn’t disturb the students anymore. I went all the way down with shock and despair in my eyes still. I went to the woman that I met second when I came inside this school. “Oh, Maria, how's everything going?” She asked with a smile. She stopped working on whatever she was working and invited me in. She placed her hand underneath her chin and waited for me to say something. I gave her the slip I had gotten from the unnecessary math teacher. Upon reading it, the woman went in shock. “Oh my, what happened?” She asked with worry and disappointment lacing in her tone. “I was just speaking to the math teacher normally and she just wrote this out of spite. What am I supposed to do? I can’t attend any class without a signature.” I explained. The woman handed the slip back to me. “I’m afraid you’ll have to go the headmaster's office. Cases like these are usually solved there,” She said. I sighed and turned around to leave. “Oh, and Maria.” She stopped me. “Don’t be rude, disrespectful and argumentative with the headmaster because he won’t take it.” She whispered. I nodded my head and walked out. Damn it! What the hell was up with this headmaster and this creepy ass school who punished girls? I’m sure I didn’t sign up for this. I went all the way up to the last floor where I expected the headmaster of the school to be. Couldn’t there be some principal or head teacher that I could have spoken to? I don’t even like engaging in conversations with males. This was going to be painful.
