Could this morning be any worse?

Firstly, Lacey is off sick so I'm all alone at school. Then Nathan wouldn't give me a kiss when I arrived early to English because he was "afraid someone would walk in". And now I'm sat at the back of his class doing a test.

What happened to my nice daddy?

"Cole! Are you going to do the test or not?"

You see! He's being mean today!

"Don't ignore me!" He warns as I look up to where he has stood beside my desk. I roll my eyes and huff in response. "Go stand outside."

"I didn't even do anything!" I argue and glare defiantly at my very angry daddy.

"Get out of my sight!" He shouts loud enough to make everyone in the room jump. I glare one last time before I storm out of the room and into the empty corridor.

He's so annoying! I didn't even do anything wrong! I don't have to answer him every time he speaks to me. Okay so maybe I do but that doesn't mean he gets to act like that! He's supposed to be my Dom and last time I checked, dominants don't shout at their sub.

I jump when the door swings open and Nathan steps out.

"What's wrong? I know you're not okay because you're never this... stubborn," he sighs and looks a bit calmer than he was two minutes ago. However that doesn't mean I'm going to forgive him so easily.

"I'm just having a bad day and you made it worse by shouting at me," I grumble. Nathan goes silent for a moment.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shouted, I'm in the wrong. I'm really sorry baby." He hugs me cautiously as if it not knowing how I'll react but he doesn't have to worry, I love hugs from my daddy. I look up at his face and smile at how cute he looks with his black glasses framing his slim face.

"So no punishment?" I try with a big smile.

"You can't get out of it that easily, you talked back and ignored all my texts this morning. But I'll let you choose the type of punishment. Either 30 spanks at my house tonight or I put a cock cage on you until then."

"30 spanks please," I answer quickly. I've only ever used the cage once and it was painful when I got a boner. I don't want to do that again!

"Okay But no more misbehaving for the rest of the day or I do both," he warns.

"Okay daddy, I'll be good." I lean up and kiss his lips gently then pull away from his hold.

"Go inside and pretend I told you off," he chuckles and sends me back into the classroom with a gentle slap on my ass.

I write a few paragraphs on the piece of paper that I know won't give me a good score but I really can't be bothered at the moment to put in effort. Now all I have to do is behave for the rest of the day. Easier said than done.

When it gets to dinner time I buy a slice of pizza and wander around the dinner hall looking for someone I can sit with.

"Cole! Over here!" A high pitched voice shouts across the filled hall. I turn to see a girl I vaguely recognise sat at a table full of snobby looking teens. I walk over and stand between the girl who shouted me and an angry looking boy. "Come sit with us," she smiles and pats the seat on her other side.

I sit down cautiously as the angry boy's gaze doesn't leave me. What's his problem?

"So where's Lacey?" The girl asks.

"She's off sick," I answer and take another bite of my pizza.

"Aww so you're all alone today?" She coos and rests her hand on my arm. I'm sure I recognise her but I can't seem to remember her.

"I don't get why he has to sit with us," grunts the angry boy.

"Babe! Don't be rude!" Squeals the girl to her supposed boyfriend.

"What? He's the most arrogant guy I've ever met."

"Harsh," I mumble.

"Fuck off," he growls.

"Whoa, what the fuck have I done to you?" I growl back.

"Don't pretend you don't know!" Angry boy jumps from his seat as his girlfriend puts her hand on his chest to stop him from hurting me.

"I seriously don't know what your problem is," I laugh as I finish off my pizza and stand up also. He's taller than me by a few inches but he's also very lanky so if push comes to shove, I won't have a problem with him.

"I've seen you flirt with Amy! Don't act stupid!" He shouts over his girlfriends shoulder.

"Amy?"

"My girlfriend you asshole!"

That seems to push him over the edge as he pushes Amy out of the way and dives at me with his fist pulled back. I don't get a chance to step back before his hand collides with my jaw and sends me across the table. Pain erupts throughout my face and fuels my anger even more. Everyone around us goes quiet as I get up and lunge back at him. People around us move aside as we tumble to the floor together in a mess of punches and kicks, both of us wanting to hurt the other. I get a lot of good hits on him but he does also. I can feel blood dripping down my chin but I just keep punching at the bastard under me. My fists ache but that won't stop me.

"Enough!" Bellows a deep voice that I know all too well. One final punch hits my nose before Nathan and another teacher drag us apart. I can hear the boy swearing at me but I ignore him as I'm steered out of the food hall and into a bathroom.

"What the fuck was that?" Nathan asks as he slams the door behind him.

"It wasn't even my fault! He dived at me first!" I argue but he ignores me as he bundles toilet paper in his hand so he can stop the blood dripping from my nose.

"You're in so much trouble," he warns then drags me to first aid.

Oh shit. I've fucked up.

"I'm sorry daddy," I whisper before he pushes open the door to the nurses office.

"Don't try and guilt me, you're getting punished." He leaves me alone with the nurse and I can't help but feel like total shit.

All I had to do was last the day without getting into trouble and I have to get into a fight! What the hell is wrong with me?

"You're lucky your nose isn't broken," the nurse says with a raised brow as he dabs the blood off my face gently. I don't reply and wait until I'm handed an ice pack for my jaw and one for my left eye which is throbbing with pain.

"Your knuckles will be bruised for a week or so and you'll be stuck with a black eye but no breaks so I see that as a win," the nurse tells me before sending me back to class when the bell rings.

As I leave the office I see the other boy still in the food hall sat on the floor. There's a lot of blood around his face. I quickly look away and make my way to class.

I decide the keep my head down for the rest of the day until I have to go to Nathan's house. At least he didn't put the cock cage on me... yet.

I wait at the doorway of his classroom as he finishes off whatever work he's doing. He looks up at me a few times to make sure I'm still there but doesn't make any effort to talk to me.

"I'm really sorry," I say, my voice barely above a whisper.

"I know you are. Come here," he replies and stands up from his chair. I walk over and stop when I'm a few inches away from him. His fingers hold my jaw and tilts my head up so he can see my face.

"This has to stop. Your temper is getting you in a lot of trouble lately and I can't let you continue like this. So we're going to go to my house and have a long talk. Understand?"

"Yes daddy."

"Good boy, lets go." He grabs his laptop bag and pushes his glasses up his nose. I decide now's not the time to mention how cute he is. The drive is quiet, the only sound being me inhaling the smoke from my last cigarette of the day.

When we get to his house, I follow him upstairs where we both change into a T-shirt and jogging bottoms. He sits me down on the bed and stays standing in front of me.

"I'm making some new rules. New rule number one, every time you get in trouble at school you get 10 hits with the cane. That means if you get in trouble twice in a day then you get 20 hits. Understood?"

"Yes daddy." I hate the cane so this is a fair punishment. I know I can always safeword if it gets too bad anyways.

"New rule number two, you have to tell me every time another teacher tells you off. Even if it's something small. I'm trusting you to be honest about this so don't break that trust. You won't always be punished, if it's something small like not remembering a pen then I'll let it slide but I still need to know."

"Okay daddy."

"New rule number three, no more fighting. It ruins your gorgeous face." He smiles. I laugh and stand up so I can hug him. I can tell he's done with his lecture now so I relax slightly and just enjoy being in his arms.

"I'm serious about this Cole. I don't want you in more trouble." He kisses my lips gently and I grimace when the cut on my bottom lip is pressed.

"I promise I'll be better daddy," I say as seriously as I can. I mean it this time. I'll try my best to be a better sub and student.

"Does your bruises still hurt? I can get you some more ice," he says while examining my face.

"I could use some ice," I say while gently touching the aching mark on my cheek.

"Come on then."

Later that night, I lay cuddled between my dom's legs as we watch movies. He holds two ice packs on my face as I feed us both popcorn and Oreos. He decided the painful bruises on my face were punishment enough but warned me next time he won't be as soft.

I'm so lucky to have someone who genuinely cares about me. And I don't just means someone who wants me safe, I mean someone who wants me to succeed and thrive. And my daddy definitely cares about me like that.
