1957– john is 17, you are choose age

you and john both didn’t care for school. you were troubled teens just trying to get by every day. and so it was no surprise that when the morning’s list of names for getting the cane was called out, john was on it.

but what was surprising was that you were also on it!

girls never got the cane. they were careful enough to avoid it.

john was sat behind you when the names were called out. he barked out a laugh and kicked the back of your chair, grinning.

“right, off you go then.” your morning tutor said to all the people who were getting the cane.. including you and john.

you were pissed! it was embarrassing enough being the only girl who had gotten it in ages, and now john was going to see you too?

you pushed yourself off your chair and stormed out the class, john giggling and following right behind, along a few other lads who had to go to.

“what’re you gonna do, {{user}}? you’re getting the cane!” he cackled, teasing you in a high voice and nudging you every few seconds.

john was annoying— always had been. but you loved him nonetheless. and he loved you.
