Two young runaways are punished rather severely in a politically correct reform school.

Stevens School Runaways - Part 7
"Orientation"

Tom and Rich, dressed in their school clothes, were told to sit down on the antechamber's black leather suede sofa and "get comfortable but not too comfortable" by Headmaster Taylor. A general chuckle tittered through the large room; the captive 13-year-olds only managed sheepish grins. "Do you know why you're here?" Mr. Taylor asked. The boys said nothing.

"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" Mueller interjected. "Answer Mr. Taylor!"

Both boys were sitting on their hands, rigidly, dress shoes placed flat on the shag-carpeted floor. Finally, Richard Hansen spoke, fearing the immediate consequences if he didn't. All eyes in the room stared at this handsome, brown- eyed youngster, the taller of the two runaways, maybe 5'4" or 5'5" with hair not quite black, very dark brown and trimmed into a bowlcut with neat masculine sideburns. His nose was straight if a bit on the snub side; his teeth were mostly straight and pearly white. A few freckles, not many, dotted his cheekbones.

"We're b-being p-punished, sir!" he managed.

"For what offense?" Mueller inquired, as if beginning an interrogation.

"Running away!"

Mueller shifted his gaze to the other boy, Thomas Bridges. "And you?" All eyes were on Tom now -- slightly shorter, maybe 5' or 5'1" and maybe six or eight pounds lighter. Everyone noticed his intense hazel eyes and straw blonde locks; his hairstyle was straight laced, cut short above the ears, no sideburns like his friend's. Two of his incisors were sharply pointed – one on each side of his often laughing mouth. He was generally a good-natured boy. Except for the slight dental flaw, which some people might even consider an attribute, he was remarkably attractive for a boy. Tom was without facial freckles, but seemed to possess a small brown mole or birthmark on the side of his neck. Perhaps he has other birthmarks, Mueller mused.

"Same thing!" he said.

"Are you sorry that you tried to escape your home here at Stevens?"

This query provoked a mild outburst from the boys, mingled with theatrics as if on cue.

"Yes! Yes! We're sorry! We'll never do it again. Just don't punish us. Please don't!" Tears started coursing down their cheeks, part crocodile, and part genuine.

"Quit it with the waterworks!" That was Mr. Graves, the macho black guy who looked a little like a pro basketball player, "No need for those kind of shenanigans at this point. Control yourselves. You placed yourself in this position. If you hadn't acted like little punks and tried to run away, none of this would be happening."

"Well said, Mr. Graves," said Mr. Taylor.

Rich thought there was about to be a burst of applause or something. Instead, nobody said anything until Taylor spoke again. "Shall we show Thomas and Richard the videotape?"

The tape, which sort of laid out the general procedures to be followed, was titled "Absconding From Stevens School." Neither boy had ever seen anything like it on television – or even bundled into the most violent videogame. The boys were allowed to view the twenty-minute tape in privacy, as the adults, except for a silent security guard standing by the massive exit door, took a brief break.

*

The tape opened with an American flag waving in the breeze, paired with an exterior shot of the Stevens façade, then switched to a scene of a boy sitting on the same black sofa. He was clothed in the familiar dress code, about their age, and also looked remorseful. With the adults mostly gone, the boys became a bit more relaxed, and offered a running commentary to each other as the "movie" progressed. The narrator had a deep masculine voice – like somebody famous they'd never heard of. The music was mostly bits of muzak modulating up and down in pitch depending upon what was happening onscreen. "So, you're about to be punished for absconding?" the deep voice intoned, "Absconding means to go away secretly – especially after wrongdoing. Did you abscond from your home at Stevens?"

Rich couldn't help laughing at first. "This is lame, this is so-o lame. Our freaking HOME at Stevens," he couldn't help blurting.

"At least you've learned a new word," Tom giggled.

"Shut up, stupid."

Soon, very soon, the images and narration grew more frightening. Following a bit about the school's history -- 1929, 34 boys caught "absconding" etc. – they started getting into stuff that mattered to the boys – scary stuff.

"Doctor Thompson will examine you. Prior to your first punishments -- he will examine you in this room with everyone present. That includes every invited adult -- security detail, punishment detail, or perhaps an invited weekend guest. To determine your capacity to endure pain safely, he must be very thorough and perform some tests that you may never have experienced with your family physician." The narrator spoke slowly, enunciating each and every word.

"Holy shit! Does that mean naked? With everybody gawking at us? Even that Mrs. O'Neill?"

"Probably," said Rich, matter-of-factly, "I wouldn't doubt it. This is going to really suck."

"Doc Thompson didn't examine me with all my clothes off the day I came here. Just down to underwear and socks. He did squeeze my balls through my briefs, had me cough, but I got to keep my underwear and socks. Maybe it won't be that embarrassing."

"Same with me."

"You may have entered puberty. Often boys to be punished are given the choice of taking a test involving ejaculation in order to lessen or even eliminate their punishment ordeal. But this is a privilege that must be approved by both the headmaster and the chief of security operations," the narrator intoned seriously.

"There may be a way out – but it involves cumming – maybe into a jar or something. I could do that," Tom mused aloud.

"I'd be surprised if you can cum," Rich teased.

"If I do, you get to eat it, dickhead," Tom retorted.

"Ewwh, gross! What do you think I am -- a homo like you?"

"Will you shut the fuck up? I didn't mean it."

The narrator continued. "If you take the test and pass, you will either begin a lesser penalty phase or you will be exonerated and allowed to return immediately to your quarters upstairs."

"Kewl," they both said simultaneously. Added Tom, "If we get a chance, we should take that test."

"Maybe," Rich said, "Shh!"

"If you refuse to take the test, or if you happen to fail the test, your punishments and painful procedures will commence immediately – and a slight but significant degree of severity will be added to your ordeal."

"Duh!"

"Shut up! Will ya dude?" Rich was getting annoyed again.

"Although you will be expected to endure considerable and sometimes excruciating pain, you might be relieved to know that the school is not allowed to inflict permanent physical injuries on your body. In fact, we at the Alexander X. Stevens School are participants in a little-known Federal program – I'm sorry – details are classified 'top secret' -- that will use the results of your 'pain threshold' procedures to help save the lives of soldiers and government agents who may be captured by an enemy of our great nation."

"Oh, yeah, that really makes me relieved. Whoop-de-dew."

Rich gave Tom about his millionth dirty look – a withering glance.

"Burning, cutting, and whipping, inserting harsh substances into orifices or other means to be decided, will cause pain."

"While some punishments and procedures are mandatory, sometimes you will be allowed to choose what is inflicted on your body, and how. If you make the correct choice, you might escape considerable discomfort."

Most of the time, the picture on the screen was of the clothed boy just sitting on the couch. But now he was shown undressing, and finally nude. A new sequence began that localized where the pain might occur on the "absconding" bodies of delinquent boys.

"While none of our pain-causing punishments and procedures may be considered torture, because torture is not the 'Stevens way,' they will be inflicted on the most sensitive areas of your body."

"Oh my God!" Rich was rapidly progressing into terrified mode, and Tom wasn't far behind.

"With most boys, sensitive areas include but are not limited to your back and shoulders."

An appropriate photo of a boy being flogged on his back and shoulders was shown.

"Your behind, including the anus area."

"Your legs – including thighs, inner thighs, back of knees, shins, calves, and ankles."

"Your feet – especially the soles have many sensitive nerve endings, but also your toes and between your toes, and under your toenails."

"The palms of your hands, and also your fingers and fingernails."

"Your stomach and chest, and along your sides near your rib cage."

"Your nipples can be extremely sensitive if properly stimulated."

"Your testicles – you have two ballsacks in your groin and scrotum area that we refer to. Did you know that your penis – especially the underside and glans meatus -- and inside your penis where a little tube called your urethra extends all the way to your bladder – all these places contain a multitude of sensitive nerve endings."

"A multitude," Rich echoed, horrified.

Somehow, there were other sensitive places.

"Your teeth – boys needing dental work can get some of it taken care of during their punishment weekend – only without Novocain."

"Your ears, and inside your ears."

"Your tongue."

An appropriate image accompanied every sensitive spot on the boy's body that the video depicted. Sound effects included the boy screaming who had been featured.

By the time the adults returned, both boys were shaking in their shoes.

"Did you enjoy our little video?" Mason asked.
