I was asleep when the pain hit me. I screamed in pain and managed to get off the sofa. I finally got fully awake and stood in front of her. I then stripped as she demanded and submitted to her investigation and assessment. I groaned a little as she prodded and pressed. I looked across at Rose who had been checked out. She looked really pretty in her sports and workout clothing. I squeezed her hand and then finally got the closets open.

I grinned to myself, and after slipping into clean panties and bra, I dressed in a pair of really tight black jeans and a jade blouse with a high collar. It was cold so I also put on a nice peach coloured heavy hooded top but I left the zip open. After giving Rose a huge hug, I left her to get to her gym. I knew very well to stay away from the gym area without permission so I headed to the kitchen for something to eat.

My smile widened when I saw who was in the big fridge, the Cook was back. I jumped up and hugged her. "Heyyyyy, you're back Cook." She hugged me back, "Ahh, sweetie..." she replied and then got me to sit right back down at the table. As I finished my breakfast Ms. Janice came in, "Oh, hi sweetie. How ya doin'?" I stood up right away and Ms. Janice prowled round me looking over me. I chewed on my pills as Ms. Janice kept looking at me. "Hmm.....sweetie, your suede boots are dirty." I looked down and saw two tiny marks on the left boot. I turned pale and Ms. Janice grinned, "Dido, over the table please. Don't bother to undress." I pressed myself in to the big wooden table top and then let out three screams as her thin whip landed three times.

She then spoke softly, "It's done sweetie. Now relax and finish your meal and finish your chat with Cook." She paused and continued, "Ohh...and sweetie....don't go near the gym and make sure your boots are clean. Really, sweetie do not go anywhere near the gym or the office wing. For your own sake." With that she gave me a hug which really surprised me and then spun on her heel and left.

I grabbed an old cloth from under the small sink by the huge big sink and sat down and brushed and rubbed down my boots. I was ever so careful and then put my boots back on. After washing my hands I rummaged in the fridge and pulled out a can of Coke. I had barely opened the can when Ms. Nora's voice cut through the music from the radio as Cook worked.

I jumped up and stood very, very still. Ms. Nora rolled the Correction Rod on the table top. She then looked me straight in the eye, "Dido, you can laze around today. You've got an easy day off....frankly I think Ms. Janice and the Master are way too soft with you but there is nothing I can do about it...but please remember princess....tomorrow is another day." With that she stomped off and I relaxed a little. I was terrified of Ms. Nora. and I could not understand why she was cross with me all the time. I tried my best and everything and even Ms. Janice said that small errors could not be avoided.

I finished my Coke and then dropped the can neatly in the right waste bin and gave Cook another giant hug. With that done I planned to get to my rooms and re-read my documents in case there was something I'd missed. Oh and I planned to maybe do some shopping in town. I was positive that a driver would take me. I wondered how Rose was getting on as they seemed determined to keep us apart.
