When the girls were 10,
their parents enrolled them in a Saturday program at the Public Library. At the
time, Lisa was pregnant, and Charlie worked a lot. They both felt it would be
good for the girls to get out and do creative things with other girls their own
age.
Robin was very excited; she
had enrolled in a painting class; she loved to do art. Jennifer, also, had
enrolled in a creative class: a ceramics class. She thought it would be fun. It
wasn't. Jennifer hated it. She was bored by it after only two weeks. She begged
her parents to let her quit.
"Jennifer, you've
barely given it a try. Go for a few more weeks. I bet if you make a friend
there, it will become more fun," her mother said.
Jennifer said,
"Fine." But she was not happy.
The following week, Charlie
dropped the girls off at the library on his way to work. Things had been rushed
that morning, and Jennifer had not had time to use the bathroom. She had to go
real bad in the car, but didn't tell her father. Because of her bladder-control
problem, he would have been angry that she didn't make time to go before they
left the house.
When they arrived at the
library, Robin went straight to her class, and Jennifer rushed to the bathroom.
But it was too late. She was cursing at herself for not having gone before she
left the house.
Now what was she going to
do!? She didn't want to call her parents because she figured they would be mad.
She also didn't want to go to her stupid class with wet pants. She sat inside
the stall and began to cry.
Suddenly, she heard a
voice. "Hey, you all right in there?"
Jennifer said,
"Yeah" real quietly.
The voice said,
"Doesn't sound like it. Why don't you come on out? Maybe I can help
you."
Jennifer came out of the
stall. The voice belonged to a girl, older than she, maybe 12 years old. The
girl said, "So, what's your problem?"
Jennifer couldn't believe
she didn't notice, and not sure why she trusted this complete stranger, but
decided to tell her, "I, um, had an accident."
The girl looked down.
"Oh, I didn't notice, well, maybe you could call your folks to bring you a
change of clothes. By the way, my name's Danielle."
Jennifer answered,
"Oh, hi, I'm Jennifer. I really don't want to call my parents. They would
be really mad at me. Trust me, it's happened before. And now I have to go to
this stupid ceramics class that I hate, and I really don't want to go."
Danielle said, "Well,
I know how that feels. I was just going to take a walk, want to come?"
Jennifer said, "Yeah,
that would be great!" A walk right then sounded super to her.
The two girls walked out
the back door of the library, and all around the neighborhood. They went for
pizza and played a really great video game. The girls laughed as though they
had been friends for years.
Jennifer could not remember
a time when she had felt so free, and had so much fun. Danielle was a little
older and very smart. Jennifer felt older just hanging out with Danielle. She
wished this day would never end.
Then Danielle looked at her
watch. "We'd better get back. The classes are going to end soon."
Jennifer didn't know that Danielle was skipping out on a class, too.
When Lisa picked the girls
up, both Robin and Jennifer told their mother what a great time they had. Of
course, Lisa didn't know that Jennifer was speaking of her day on the town, and
not of her ceramics class.
She said, "See, honey,
I told you if you gave it a try, you would like it."
Jennifer answered,
"Yeah, you were right, Mommy." Jennifer did not even feel bad lying
to her mother. She had had a great day.
Jennifer and Danielle met
every Saturday in the bathroom from then on. Each week, they walked downtown,
went to the pizza place, and played the video game. It was so much fun. They
never seemed to get tired of it. It was exciting to them just knowing they
weren't supposed to be there. This continued for several weeks. Of course, all
good things must come to an end.
One week, Charlie dropped
the girls off at the library. He was off from work, for a change, and told them
after their class, they would all go out to lunch. Robin skipped to her class,
and Jennifer went to meet Danielle at the bathroom.
She said, "Hey, there,
what should we do today?" The two girls looked at each other and laughed.
They had done the same thing every Saturday since they hooked up together.
While they were gone, the
library program director went into each class. She said to each teacher,
"Do you have any children on your roster that have not shown up? We have a
waiting list a mile long."
The ceramics teacher
answered, "Well, this girl, Jennifer Clemente, came a couple of times, but
hasn't been here in over a month. I guess she's not coming anymore."
The program director, whose
name was Mrs. Feinstein, called the Clemente house. Charlie answered.
"Hello, Mr. Clemente?
This is Mrs. Feinstein at the Public Library. We were wondering if you were
planning to send Jennifer to ceramics class anymore? Because if not, we could
use her spot. It seems we have quite a waiting list for that class."
Charlie was confused and
did not answer right away. Then he turned to Lisa and said, "Honey, you
take this call, something's not right, I'm going to go down to the library right
now."
Lisa got on the line. She
heard, "Hello? hello? Are you there?"
Lisa said, "Hi, this
is Mrs. Clemente."
Mrs. Feinstein said,
"Oh, hi, I was speaking to your husband."
Lisa said, "Yes, well,
he's on his way down there right now."
Mrs. Feinstein said,
"Oh, but I don't understand. I called to..." Lisa was shocked as she
heard Mrs. Feinstein explain.
Charlie searched for Mrs.
Feinstein as soon as he arrived at the library. He told her that Robin was also
enrolled in an art class in the program. "Maybe it's possible that
Jennifer is in the same class as Robin, or in a different class."
Mrs. Feinstein said,
"Well, it's possible, why don't you come with me? There aren't that many
classes. I'm sure we'll find her. It's probably just a mix-up."
Charlie and Mrs. Feinstein
went to every class. When they got to Robin's painting class, she looked up and
saw her father. She ran to him, "Hi, Daddy, what are you doing here?"
Charlie didn't want to
worry her, but he asked, "Hi, honey, have you seen your sister?"
Robin answered no, that she
never saw Jennifer the whole time they had been going. "I'm always so
busy, Daddy, come and see what I made."
Charlie looked quickly and
then told Robin, "Honey, I have to go find your sister. I'll see you at
the end of class. Okay?" He kissed her on her forehead. Robin was
confused, but it quickly went away as she got back to her project.
Charlie followed Mrs.
Feinstein back to her office. She was very upset. "I'm so sorry, Mr.
Clemente, I've never lost a child, like this."
Charlie was very quiet.
Then he thought of something. "Is there a child named Danielle in any of
these classes?" Jennifer never stopped talking about how great Danielle
was.
Mrs. Feinstein frowned.
"Did you say, Danielle? That's so strange. There was another child that
stopped coming to the classes who was named Danielle. It was weeks ago, but I
remember thinking how odd it was. I called the mother because the girl had
never shown up. The mother seemed shocked, and told me that Danielle would be
there the following Saturday. Well, that Saturday, the girl showed up in my
office with a note that said, 'I'm sorry, but I've changed my mind again.
Danielle won't be enrolling in this class. Thank you.' Isn't that
strange?"
Charlie nodded. "I
think you'd better call this Danielle's mother and get the whole story,"
he said.
Charlie waited while Mrs.
Feinstein called Danielle's mother. After she hung up the phone, she turned to
him and said, "Mrs. McKeegan is coming right down. It seems she never
authorized Danielle to quit. She's been dropping Danielle off each week; she
thought she'd been attending, just like you with your daughter. I guess they're
together. I'm really sorry about this, Mr. Clemente."
Charlie wanted to blame
this woman, for not having better security, but he didn't. "Don't worry,
I'm sure they'll turn up," he said.
Charlie stood waiting for
the girls at the end of the class. Robin came skipping out. "Hi, Daddy, I
love that class. It's so much fun."
Charlie kissed her. He was
so mad at Jennifer but he had to remember not to be mad at Robin, too.
Sometimes it was hard for him, with them being twins, for him to separate his
feelings. "Honey, why don't you go wait for us in the car?"
A few minutes later,
Jennifer came walking out. "Hi, Daddy, sorry I'm late, the teacher asked
me to stay and help her clean up." Jennifer lied right to her dad's face;
she didn't know he knew the truth.
He said, "Oh,
really?" Then he said, "Isn't that your friend, Danielle? Looks like
she's in a bit of trouble with her mother."
Jennifer turned around to
look where her father had been pointing. She saw Danielle being swatted on the
behind by a woman, who must have been her mother. Danielle's mother was
smacking her backside and screaming, all the way to their car.
Jennifer just shrugged. She
didn't even think to ask her dad how he knew that was her friend. Charlie was
already disappointed in Jennifer for lying to him. He didn't know if he should
accuse Jennifer or wait for her to come clean. He thought about it in the car
on the short drive home.
Luckily for Jennifer, Robin
rattled on and on about her class. Jennifer couldn't get a word in edgewise,
and therefore couldn't dig herself deeper into her hole of lying.
When they pulled up to the
house, Robin said, "Should I go get Mommy? Are we going out to
lunch?"
Charlie said, "Not
right now, your mother and I need to speak to Jennifer. You and I can go out
later, okay, honey?"
Robin nodded and went into
the house. Jennifer reluctantly followed her dad into the house.
"What do we have to
talk about, Daddy?" Jennifer asked. Charlie didn't answer her. Instead he
pointed to the dining room table. He asked Robin to go upstairs.
Lisa joined Charlie and
Jennifer at the table. They told Jennifer that they knew about her skipping out
on her class. Jennifer gasped. They demanded to know where Jennifer went and
why. She told them where she went each week with Danielle, and what they did.
"And how long did you
think you could do this and get away with it?" Charlie asked. Jennifer
started to cry.
Charlie said, "You'd
better hold that crying until later, you're going to need it when I'm finished
with you."
Jennifer recalled how that
first week she had wet her pants. "I was afraid you'd be mad at me for
having an accident. I didn't want to go to the class. And Danielle gave me a
way out; I guess I wasn't thinking."
Her parents couldn't
believe it. "So, this is all because you thought we would be mad that you
wet your pants? You think skipping out on your class and then lying about it is
better?"
Jennifer thought about it.
"I guess it sounds stupid, now. But I just thought, well, I guess I didn't
think."
Lisa said, "Well,
you're going to have a long time to think about it now. You're grounded for a
month. And I'm going to wash your mouth out with soap for lying."
Charlie added, "And
don't you ever disappear like this again. You're very lucky nothing happened
while you were gallivanting around town. Now let's go into my bedroom. You're
getting a spanking."
Jennifer started to cry
again, and put her hands on her backside protectively. She followed her dad
into her parents' bedroom. She knew it was no use to argue. She knew she had
earned this spanking.
Charlie told Jennifer to
use the bathroom first. He didn't want any more accidents. When Jennifer came
out, he took her by the wrist, and in one fell swoop, pulled her pants and
panties down, and guided her over his lap. He spanked her bottom one hundred
times.
Jennifer thought this was
the worst spanking she had ever gotten. At the end of the spanking, Charlie
stood her up. He gave her a hug and rubbed her bottom.
"Up or off?" he
asked pointing to Jennifer's panties draped around her ankles. She didn't even
look down. "Off." Jennifer stepped out of her underwear. Her bottom
was on fire, and she couldn't even imagine pulling them up.
Charlie told Jennifer to
lie on his bed and cry it out. "You can come out when you've calmed down.
Okay?" Jennifer nodded, and Charlie kissed her forehead, "I love you,
sweetie."
Charlie called Robin
downstairs. "Okay, honey, you ready to go out to lunch, just you and
me?" Robin nodded. She was excited to have her daddy all to herself. They
promised Lisa they would bring her back some lunch.
"Have fun!" she
called after them.
The end.
