The Bad Little School-Boy       by Sissy Demi

Introduction

Once upon a time, there was a young boy by the name of Chris who attended a 7th Grade class in the Middle School of his town. Now, Chris was a rather naughty little boy... his favorite self entertainments usually involved practical jokes on his teachers and mercilessly teasing the girls of his school. Then one day, his pranks went a tad too far. Some property was damaged, some feelings were hurt, somebody was in big trouble!

The principal deferred punishment to the school board, who in turn, deferred it to the PTA, which gave its authority entirely to the girls and teachers who were hurt by his careless taunts and pranks. The group spent a day or so deliberating on what suitable punishment was to be handed down. Then they thought of a doozy!

They ran their idea before the PTA, who endorsed it to the school board, which recommended it to the principal, who in turn, informed the boy's parents. Either Chris suffers this rather unusual punishment, or the injured parties would press charges and seek reparation. Chris' parents embraced the punishment wholeheartedly (they were still paying off one of the boy's pranks from earlier that year!).

Chris was brought before the teacher and girls in the principal's office. Members from the school board and the PTA were there to witness, as were his parents. The stern faced principal locked eyes with the poor boy as the sentence was passed:

"You have terrorized these once tranquil halls for far too long! Pranks, practical jokes, insults, teasing and general harassment have finally culminated in others being hurt. Detention never worked, expulsion is out since no other school wants you... and last I checked, killing you is still illegal!"

Laughter fluttered about the cramped office. Chris just sat and tried to look as belligerent as possible under the circumstances.

"So, what your latest targets have proposed is to teach you manners, tone down your boyish inclinations, let you see how the other half lives, so to speak. Starting tomorrow, one hour before First Bell, you are to report to the Teacher's Lounge for your new wardrobe... Since you seem to delight in tormenting the girls, you will now be one!"

"One of the girls here will be assigned to you daily. You will do as they say without question, or charges will be filed against you. With all the other reports on your antics, I don't think it will be too difficult to get you placed in a Teen Boot Camp... permanently!"

"Do you understand?"

Chris sat speechless... eyes wide and glassy. The girls tittered behind him, the adults smirked behind their hands, his parents nudged him none too gently... He nodded uncomprehendingly... and so begins the story of  The Bad Little School-Boy!
