I think you may have talents as a short story writer yourself. I suggest we collaborate immediatly. May i say my preferred ending is where the deputy head hands the cane to one of the sixth form girls, (the more attractive of the two) and she, (a naturally gifted girl), delivers a superbly executed six of the best.
Any refences to itches or scratching would lead me to believe the girls are suffering from some contagious disease and therefore have no place on this excellent forum.
..The phone rang, it was the headmaster, the deputy head was wanted immediately.
“You stay here boy and i shall deal with you on my return”, he said as he rushed off, leaving the thin yellow cane on his desk.
