Chapter 2: Punishment

James made his way across campus back to his room dripping with sweat and out of breath. I really need to get back in shape he thought to himself. He had just finished his 200 punishment laps Zara had given him for skiving History last week. He thought it was totally unfair as he hadn't missed it on purpose him and Dana had spent the afternoon lying in the sun by the lake and had both fallen asleep. He was going to kill Lauren as she was there with Rat and Bethany and knew he had History after lunch.

The laps were worse than usual as it was the middle of July and it was scorching hot and Dana had finished her laps two days ago which James's friends brought up every five minutes. It was not that James did not have respect for Dana it was the fact he was beaten by a girl and he had hardly seen her recently because he was running laps in his spare time. He saw Bruce walking down the corridor towards him.

"Look who it is the disgrace to male kind everywhere. Finally finished your laps I take it or are you going for a campus record?" Bruce shouted down the corridor.

"I have and I wouldn't let Kerry hear you talk like that or she'd break your legs. Have you seen Lauren by the way?" James replied.

"No she's probably still at the hospital" Brice said

"Hospital?" James said in a confused voice.

"Oh yeah you wouldn't have heard, Bethany broke her leg while helping the instructors out on the assault course."

"Shit. How she do that?" James asked

"She was helping one of the younger kids up onto the high ropes and she fell off. Luckily the safety net caught most of the fall but she hit it right on the edge and was catapulted onto the floor. Zara went mad and has called for an immediate inspection of the whole assault course. Laurens been at the hospital all day she just got back" Bruce answered

"Oh better not have that bigger go at her then. I got to go have a shower see you later" James said

"Ok see you later" Bruce said. James then walked to his room to have a shower but when he opened the door he found Dana sitting on his bed. Wearing a vest and mini skirt.

"At last your back I've been waiting for twenty minutes for you to finish." Dana then pulled him towards her and kissed him. Slightly taken a back James returned the kiss and they stood in James's doorway for ten minutes making out until James's pulled away and said "I really got to have a shower and I better go see how Lauren is"

"Fine if your personal hygiene is more important than me then you're going to be waiting a long time for any more affection from me" Dana said sarcastically then she gave him a peck on the cheek and said "Hope that lasts you" and walked out with a grin on her face. James wasn't worried he knew Dana was only joking and would come round. He had shocked himself at his restraint he would normally be trying to get Danas top off by that point but he did care about his sister even though he would never admit in front of her.

He then went for a shower and made his way over to Laurens room.
