The next day being Sunday, she stayed in her room all day. She had a lot of papers to catch up on anyway, although her mind wasn’t really on it, especially as she had to read laying face down on her bed. Furthermore she kept getting up to check her bottom in the mirror, which looked decidedly swollen and showed not the slightest sign that it was ready to turn its natural pale pink.

Even the Monday morning walk to the faculty was slow painful affair and she was certain that everyone she passed must have known she had been spanked.

The faculty office was expecting her and she was sent right into to see the head of department.

“Dr Park, or may I call you ______, I am Professor Kim, please sit down.”

“Eh… I would rather stand if I may,” ______ eyed the chair with horror.

“Of course, how is the accommodation working out?”

“It’s a student hall,” _______ said curtly.

Professor Kim frowned.

“Oh yes, now I remember. Most of our teaching staff comes from right here in Green Light Town or at least from nearby, we don’t have staff quarters and no digs could be arranged. It was a temporary measure. Now where are my notes… ah? This is the letter I should have sent to Mrs Jessica, it appears I forgot to post it… she was expecting you? I mean you have a room?”

“Oh I have a room alright but…”

“Excellent, let me know if you have any problems.”

“Well there was one thing…”

“Yes?”

_______ had no idea what to say now.

“Oh nothing, it doesn’t matter. I guess I will have to speak to Mrs Jessica myself.”

“Splendid.” Professor Kim turned back to his work and _______ realised the meeting was over.

*

_______ took a deep breath and knocked on the door to Mrs Jessica’s room.

“Come in,” came a muffled response. So _______ opened the door.

It was quite a tableau that greeted her eyes. Mrs Jessica was sitting on the same chair she had used two nights before, only this time it was another girl over her knee. Mrs Jessica’s arm was raised in mid spank and from the look of the hapless girl’s red bottom the spanking had been going on for some time.

Beyond the spanking, was another girl facing the wall with her hands on her head, her skirt tucked up and her around her ankles. Her bottom also looked as if it had been well spanked, both girls gently crying.

“Oh… _______ isn’t it? I was expecting someone else to join this little party. As you can see I am busy, please come back later.” Mrs Jessica turned back to the spanking.

“But…” _______ didn’t know what to say.

“Later,” Mrs Jessica snapped. “Unless you want to join them.”

________ flushed and closed door on the scene. Now she would have to find the courage to comeback, she sighed. Then she walked back down the corridor to her room.

About and hour later there was a knock at the door.

________ opened it on a young girl who had obviously recently been crying. From the skirt, she recognised the spanked girl in the corner.

“Mrs Jessica will see you now,” the girl said sheepishly.

“Oh, thank you,” _______ returned a tight sympathetic smile. Then added, “have you been with her all this time?”

The girl blushed and nodded glumly.

“Goodness, what ever did you do?”

“Sooyoung left the tap running in our bathroom.”

“But why were you… eh punished?”

“It was kind of all our faults, we were kidding around, the four of us. There was a bit of a flood.” The girl seemed reluctant to talk, but seemed afraid to give anyone the least offence.

“Thank you…”

“Yoona.”

“Yoona.” _______ nodded and waved her thanks.

As it was, Mrs Jessica took ages to open the door. _______ wondered if she had heard the knock and was about to try again. Then the door opened. _______ had a look at the flawless Mrs Jessica and suddenly got stunned by her looks. She cannot fathom that mid-aged woman was actually a beauty and look good for her age. Moments later, she felt butterflies in her stomach and that made shut close unable to process anything ath the moment. 

“_______. You wanted to see me?”

That question asked by Mrs Jessica suddenly brought her back to reality. 

“Y-Yes Mrs Jessica, there has been a bit of a misunderstanding… you see as I tried to tell you the other night, I am not a freshman.”

Mrs Jessica said nothing and waited for _______ to make her point.

“I am not an undergraduate at all,” _______ added, surely the woman could see the problem.

“_______, it is unusual to get graduate students staying at Chain Reaction House, but it is not unheard of… I am afraid I still don’t know what you are getting at.”

“I am a member of the faculty Mrs Jessica. I was assigned here temporarily but Professor Kim forgot to inform you.”

“I see, that is highly irregular, had I known I would have objected.” Mrs Jessica frowned. “However, it seems that here you are. Will you be with us for the entire semester?”

_______ gaped. Had the woman nothing to say?

“I don’t know, I doubt it, but the point is you cannot expect me to be subjected to… I mean to say what you did it was entirely…”

“Miss Park _______, or is it Professor?”

“Dr Park if you wish to be formal Mrs Jessica.” _______ waited.

“Dr Park . Your behaviour of the other night, coming in past curfew, drunk as well if I am not mistaken… and as for the language, your behaviour, it was an outrage. If you were my daughter, I would have spanked you so hard that you wouldn’t sit down for a month. If you have come to apologise, then I accept your apology. If you have come looking for some special privileges, then you are in the wrong place. I suggest that you find somewhere else to live.”

With that, Mrs Jessica  closed the door on her.

“I see,” _______ said acidly addressing the closed door, “I am so glad we had that little chat.”

*

Over next few weeks, _______ tried to find alternative accommodation both on and off campus but with little luck. She also got to see a good deal more about the workings of Chain Reaction House.

She came home one day to find two girls on their hands and knees scrubbing the front step with toothbrushes. The front of the house was marred with drying soggy paper and someone had scrawled various slogans in shaving foam.

_______ caught one of the girl’s eyes and raised a quizzical eyebrow.

“A jamboree stunt for our sorority.” The girl shrugged. “Mrs Jessica wasn’t impressed.”

Inside there were miscellaneous bags of refuge bagged-up and waiting to go out. They showed clear signs of being the detritus of similar high jinks as had been evident outside.

There were two girls standing facing the wall either side of the staircase. In recent days _______ had seen other girls so positioned and had thought it better not to ask.

As she went up the stairs there was another girl standing in penitent vigil at almost every spare corner.

“My you girls have been busy.” _______ murmured.

At the turn from the stairwell leading to Mrs Jessica’s rooms things got even more interesting. Outside every room stood a girl facing her own door. Only this time her skirts were turned up and her bare red bottom was well displayed.

“Next.” Someone bellowed.

A tearful girl scurried down the hall passed _______ displaying a well-spanked bottom and disappeared down the stairs. To stand outside her own room, _______ guessed.

Sure enough, the girl who had been standing in the corner at the top of the stairs turned around and walking as if to her execution, went down the hall to Mrs Jessica’s room. Then a girl further down the stairs took her place.

“Good heavens this could take all night,” _______ giggled. Then humming a little tune and taking in the sights, she ambled along to her own room.

“Good evening Dr Park,” Mrs Jessica called as she appeared at her door to let her next miscreant in.

“Good evening Mrs Jessica, busy tonight I see.”

“Every darn year it is the same. The sorority pledge mistresses know what I’ll do about this stunt of theirs, that’s why they do it. But why can’t they spank their own pledges, if that’s what they want, I have enough to do.”

“Poor you,” _______ smirked, her tongue lightly touching the inside of her cheek.

Sometimes Chain Reaction House could be quite diverting, she thought as she went to bed. As long as she kept out of Mrs Jessica’s way, maybe it wasn’t so bad.
