Week 54
Monday
The School day after being caned is never fun. Peter woke up late at around 4 in the morning.
(Note: Hespia has 29 hours in a day. We however use a 24 hour official clock. The five hours after midnight is considered the 'lost/sleeping' hours and aren't counted. We generally wake up around 1 or 2 in the morning and the time till six is considered self care time where you work out or study or meditate.)
The cane generally leaves welts that last through his class so I knew he would be squirming all day. Peter doesn't like that. There are usually a couple of kids who get caned and are squirming and they do get picked on.
I was a little apprehensive about the day. Peter does not react well to being picked on. I promised him I'd come pick him early from class as a sweetener and fortunately he did not get in any trouble when I went to pick him up for lunch. I had a long workday so he had to spend it at my office. Petey likes it there as most of the staff enjoy the company of my cute playful cheeky boy.
The bank has a few interns yet to take their Adult Certification (Hespia allows for non adults to work once they have a college degree). Peter has a tendency to get into trouble around the pretty girls, especially two of my interns Teresa and Vicky. Sure enough, as my meetings were finishing up I went in to find the trio goofing around, Peter pretending to be the brave space captain and putting on an accent and wasting time.
