Rivalry - Mini Story

“Ha! I can’t wait till she sees all of this” I exclaim, as I look at all the decorations lying all over my bed. I have to help out with my step mom, Angie’s, annual autumn fair that she organizes every year at her and my dad’s church. She’s been doing this for years. Angie also expects that my sister and I help her decorate and do finishing touches the day before it opens for the weekend. Surprised I have a sister? Well, Monica's a few years older than me and is currently studying law in a different state. Let’s just say we have a rather…. Turbulent relationship.

“So do you have everything that you were planning on getting? It looked like we practically bought the whole store,” Cori says from her bed as she flips the page of her magazine.

“Yeah, but it still feels like it's not enough though” I say unsure. There are also bags of stuff all around my bed on the floor with decorations too.

“Trust me. It's enough. We each filled a shopping cart to the brim and we went to the store twice. I never thought that I could see so much confetti for sale in my life” she says with a shake of her head.

“Well it's a big church hall I'm decorating for” I remind her for the tenth time.

“I know. Just like you’ve reminded me how you have to beat Monica this year” Cori says rolling her eyes.

“I do! If Moni’s decorations are better again, she wont let me live this down. Hers were so much better last year,” I say. And they really were. Mine looked like arts and crafts done by preschoolers. I guess I should mention that a big reason my sister and I don't get along is because we are extremely competitive of each other. It's always been like that buts it's gotten worse over the years; according to Felipe anyways.

“Yours will be better; especially since you’ve had my help” Cori tells me. My BFF thinks so highly of herself, doesn't she?

“So I guess if I lose, it's all your fault then” I say with a grin. Cori sticks her tongue out at me before saying,

“Whatever, don't front like I totally didn't give you some good ideas. The pumpkin centerpieces are totally genius”

“I’m kidding. You’ve definitely helped me a ton. I just wish you could come with me back home to set everything up” I say, sitting down at my desk area. It's the only place clear to sit in our dorm room.

“Yeah, but Eric has a home basketball game tomorrow. I need to be a supportive girlfriend and all that. You know, go mustangs” Cori says with no enthusiasm in her voice whatsoever.

“So much spirit from the supportive girlfriend over there” I say sarcastically with a snort. 

“Hey! You know sports all look the same to me. I get bored, so shoot me. Anyways, if you need my help with anything, just send me a text or call. I expect pictures. Lots and lots of pictures” Cori says pointing her fingers at me to show how serious she is.

“You already know I will” I promise her as I hear my phone ping from my pocket. It's a message from Felipe.

Hey sweet pea. Come to my room in 15? - Felipe

Sure. I’m heading over now - Lily

“I'm going to Felipe’s. What’re you going to do?” I ask Cori as I put my shoes on.

“Probably sleep until Eric’s done with practice. Basketball season is such a drag, I swear” Cori complains, closing her magazine.

“Get used to it because the season’s just getting started,” I remind her. I chuckle as I hear Cori groan as I leave our room. 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“Hi love” Felipe greets me as he opens his dorm room door to let me in.

“Hey” I say before going on my tiptoes to peck his lips for a kiss.

“How were your classes today?” he asks me as he helps me take off my jacket. The weather is starting to turn cooler.

“The usual. Thank goodness my Friday class got cancelled tomorrow. Now I can leave earlier to drive home,” I reply.

“That's actually why I wanted you to come over here. I need to talk to you about you going home” he says as he takes my hand and helps me sit on his bed. Talk? Why does my stomach get this weird feeling whenever he says that? Oh that's right. It never ends well for my bottom.

“Talk about what?” I ask a bit warily.

“About you and your sister” Felipe says sitting next to me. Well, I wasn't expecting that.

“What about us?” I ask crossing my arms, defensively. The topic of Monica never sits well for me.

“About your competitiveness with each other” he tells me. Oh great. Not this again. 

“Only because Monica's is the one who gets competitive first. She always tries to one up me every time” I defend myself. She really does. We always try to outdo each other. Better grades, most school awards, and the doing most extracurricular. Whoever can get the most praise from one of our parents?

“Every time?” Felipe asks with a raise of an eyebrow. He seems to think not.

“Yes” I say while looking away from him.

“Lily, look at me” he says gently grabbing my chin to look at him again.

“You and I both know that you and Monica both try to outdo each other. I just want to make sure nothing happens between you two when you go home; especially since I won't be there with you” Felipe tells me.

“Nothing will happen” I try to convince him but he isn't so sure.

“Really? Because based on past experiences. I don't think you will be able to keep your word easily. Remember when you start a heated argument at thanksgiving dinner one year and almost got into a fist fight with Monica?” he reminds me. That happened two years ago. When Felipe found out about it, he went to town on my behind.

“Even dad was on my side that Moni started it,” I tell him.

“Or how about when you tried to outsell your sister in a fundraiser and got yourself so worked up that you passed out from stress” Felipe went on.

“I also had stress from final exams to worry about too. It wasn't just from the fundraiser,” I tell him. By the way, I outsold her in cookie sales. I also got a little help from Cori. You know how persuasive she can be. I just used her to my advantage to show Monica up. Ha!  

“Let me also remind you about last years fair and how you tried to sabotage Monica’s displays that she put up” he tells me. Key word: tried. Felipe unfortunately put a stop to it before I could do anything. 

“Okay so I can be competitive. But she ruined mine first” I defend myself again.

“Look, I just want you to act straight and to not start anything this year. You know Angie works hard on this fair and shouldn't have to worry that you and your sister will do something to mess it all up,” Felipe says firmly.

“I won't. Il try to not let what Monica says or does get to me,” I promise. I know she’ll definitely try something. She always does.

“Good but I’m also going to help you keep that promise,” he tells me as he takes my arm and starts to pull me over his lap. See! His talks always end this way.

“But I haven't even done anything” I say as Felipe gets me adjusted.

“I want it to stay that way. You keep your word better when your bottom’s tender,” he says as my pants start to come down. I hold my breath as I expect my panties to come down next but they never do. What happens instead is Felipe’s hand coming down on my right cheek hard.

SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK

Felipe begins a steady rhythm of moderate spanks. Not really hard but not soft either.

“You SMACK will SMACK behave SMACK this SMACK weekend. No SMACK fighting with SMACK Monica. SMACK is that SMACK clear SMACK SMACK SMACK?” he asks as his hand warms my butt all over. How does his hand feel so hard? I will never understand it.

“Yes sir” I say as I start to wince from the pain coming on.

SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK

“Angie has worked really hard these last few months for her church. She wants your help and she doesn't need to worry about a stupid battle that you and Monica have” Felipe continues to lecture me as he spanks away. And they say men can't multitask.

SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK

“I know. I wont do anything. I won't!” I cry out as I can feel Felipe start to spank my upturned cheeks harder now. I try not to move around but he's paying more attention to my sit spots. 

“Keep moving around and these panties will come down,” he warns me. That caused me to still fast. Panties will stay up if I can help it.

Felipe give me half a dozen more swift spanks before stopping. Thank you! Please be over now.

“I'm giving you this reminder spanking to help you keep your competitiveness down. You’ll do that right?” he asks me as I feel him reach over for something from his side table.

“Yes sir, I will” I sniff as a few tears escape my eyes. My butt is definitely reminded all right.

“Good. I’m going to finish up with ten from your hairbrush. If I hear that something happened this weekend between you and your sister, your getting more from this brush. Okay?” Felipe asks as I feel the cold wood on top of my hot cheeks. Point officially taken.

“Okay. Nothing will happen” I promise more firmly this time.

“I hope not. I want you to count please” Felipe says, then brings the brush down on my left cheek. 

SMACK!

“One” I say grabbing the bed sheet to brace myself for the rest.

SMACK!

“Ow! Two” I count out.

SMACK!

“Ah! Three” I say, clenching my cheeks a bit before relaxing. Felipe continues on before bringing the brush down on both of my bottom cheeks on the tenth one. That one was definitely the hardest smack from this whole spanking.

“Ten!” I cry out as I start to cry a little harder into the bed. My behind feels inflamed and sore. But I know for sure that this is nothing compared to when I am actually in trouble.

“Good job sweet pea. All finished” Felipe tells me as he pulls my pants back up. I tenderly sit down on his lap as he wraps his arms around me. 

He holds me as the few tears that I have left fall down my face.

“I love you, mi amour. I just want you to behave,” he says as he kisses my head and wipes my tears away once my sniffles have stopped. 

“I know and I’ll be good” I say then smile as Felipe kisses all over my face.

“I hope so since you know what will happen if you aren't” he warns. Yes, the dreaded brush. Got it loud and clear.

I nod my head and lean back into Felipe for another content hug.

Snow Dance (Mini)

“Going along with our up to date news coverage of this record breaking cold front, I want to give another warning about being safe in the upcoming days; especially in regards t6o the roads” the weatherman said over the television in the lobby of the library. I know what you're probably wondering. Why is such a loud thing in such a quiet place? The library lobby is king of the meet up place on the bottom floor. There is a printing area with computers, a tutor center, and a sitting area with tables. So it's not exactly quiet like the other three floors where you’ll get shushed if you even cough or have a load ringtone or something. I'm not saying I have personal experience with it or anything. Heehee.

“I hope it snows enough for school to be cancelled” I heard a girl say to her friend as they walk toward the front doors. Man, wouldn't that be nice. Instead of walking in the blistering cold, I could be in bed getting cuddled with my Eric. Speaking of him, where is my hot boyfriend at anyways? I’m currently waiting for him to finish his tutoring session for a biology class. When you’re really smart at a subject, you can get paid to help others. Something I’ll never be able to achieve. Unless there is a course on makeup, fashion, or what nail colors go best with olive green paints. I would be all over that!

I’m looking at the time on my phone when I hear a voice behind me say,

“Why is someone so cute sitting all alone?”

I see Eric giving me a boyish grin. I grin back at him as I stand up and grab my pink floral book bag.

“I was just waiting for my boyfriend who was taking forever,” I tell him as I wrap my arms around him and stand on my tippy toes to give him a kiss.

“Sorry baby girl. I had to stay longer to help someone who needed extra practice,” Eric says as he gives me a gentle squeeze. Of course, he would stay back. He has to help everybody, like a newborn superman.

“Was it a girl? I bet it was a girl,” I ask with an eye roll. I know how some of those freshmen look at a senior with heart eyes.

“If you must know, miss jealous, I wasn't helping a girl. It was Daniel. So calm down a bit” he tells me. Hmph. I can't help my possessive tendencies. It can get me into trouble at times; which isn't a surprise for anyone, I’m sure.

“Alright. Can we go get dinner now? I'm starving,” I say as I grab his hand to pull him toward the door. However, I’m quickly pulled back to where we were standing before.

“Um… aren't you forgetting something?” Eric asks me with an expectant look. I look at him confused before I look around. I have my phone and bag? Yup. All my fingers and toes in tact? Check. My fly’s zipped up? Double checked on that. I don't really see what I’m missing.

“What?” I ask him with a shrug.

“You're forgetting your coat and scarf,” he tells me, lifting up the clothing to show me. Ohhhhh, yeah. Those stupid things. Eric has been on my case about wearing my coat whenever I’m outside. Cori, you need to wear warmer clothes. Cori, you can't wear shorts if it's below freezing. Seriously, are you trying to get sick baby? I mean, I honestly think the nagging has gotten way, way out of hand. And I’m told I’m annoying. Psh!

“It was hot in here. That's why I took them off,” I say putting on my coat.

“Well you seem to have forgotten to put them back on; as usual” Eric tells me while he wraps my scarf around my neck and giving my nose a kiss.

“That's why I have you to always remind me,” I say with a smirk. Eric rolls his eyes with a shake of his head.

“Lets go to the dining hall baby,” he tells me as he takes my hand in his. We make our way outside and are met with a big gust of cold wind. My face literally feels frozen instantly.

“Aren't you glad you're wearing your coat, huh?” Eric asks me with a knowing look. Heck yeah! Id probably would have turned into an icicle.

“Yes! It’s freezing. It's supposed to get even colder and maybe a blizzard is coming too. Wouldn't it be nice if we get school called off?” I say wishfully. I could use a day off so bad.

“Yeah, it would but I’m not getting my hopes up. They never cancel school. Remember when the heaters weren’t working across campus and we still had to go to classes?” Eric says, rolling eyes.

That really sucked. It was just starting to get cold outside, so the buildings were not warm on the inside. I'm surprised I didn't get hypothermia. If the campus were on fire, they still wouldn't cancel school. Nope, not today. Ugh.

“Well I’m going to do my snow dance” I say trying not to chatter my teeth.

“A snow dance? Is that like a spin off of your happy dance?” Eric says with a bit of a laugh. Eric has caught me doing one of my infamous happy dances. Nothing like getting caught dancing in your underwear by your amused boyfriend.
“More like a rain dance except with snow. You know my rain dances work like a charm,” I tell him with a proud smile. Last time I did my rain dance, it totally flooded. It was also the time Lily and me caused a mud fiasco. It wasn't pretty.

“Funny. To me, your rain dances always seems to bring you a lot of trouble” he snickers. I glare at him. Okay, so he is totally right about that but he doesn't need to bring up old misery; especially for my butt.

“No need to bring up the past. Besides, I have a feeling my snow dance will have a better outcome” I say as we head up the steps of the dining hall.

“If you say so,” Eric says while kissing my cheek then opens the door to the eatery for me.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“Phew! I'm exhausted. Cori, this snow dance better work,” Lily pants as she falls down on her bed.

“It will! I have a feeling,” I say jumping back on to my bed. As you can see, Lily and me just finished our snow dance in the hopes that school will be canceled tomorrow so we’ll have a three-day weekend. The temperature has been decreasing throughout the day and dark clouds have been rolling in.

“I think so too. The newscaster even said a mini snow blizzard might happen or something like that. So let's hope they’ll cancel classes for once” Lily says turning on our T.V. to find something to watch.

“Right! My dances work like a charm” I tell her while grabbing my phone. Lets see if there are any good sales going on. I could use some more boots; like brown furry once. Yass!

“Well, if the charm is always finding trouble then they for sure work. My butt was so sore after the mudslide incident” she says wincing from the incident.

“You and Eric love bringing up the past, don't you? It’ll work this time. Really” I promise as I grab my bag of chips from my snack basket. You know, I need my food in arms reach or else I get hangry. It's NOT pretty.

“Let's hope so” Lily hopes while flipping through the channels.

As we are getting settled watching a movie about a robot finding love, both of our phones ring simultaneously. It's our school alert letting us know that school. Is. CANCELLED! Hell yes! Our snow dance worked. Who was right! Me! Happy dance time.

“Yes! No classes! Thank god. See, I told you that your snow dance would work” Lily says playfully. I roll my eyes back at her with a grin.
“Sure you did. I'm so going to rub it in Eric’s face” I say. He totally doubted me. What else is new though?

“Hey angel” Eric says when he answers his phone.

“Eric! You heard what happened right?” I ask happily.

“Are you talking about classes being cancelled? Then yes, I got the message,” he tells me.

“Yup. And it's because I did a snow dance. So ha! It totally does work” I brag. I'm sure he won't doubt my efforts again.

“Oh yeah? Well I guess everyone has you to thank, huh?” Eric says with a bit of laugh. Duh.

“You bet your ass they do. Now I can snuggle in bed all day. Do you still have practice in the morning?” I ask since I figured his coaches don't care about a “little snow”. They’re words, not mine.

“Yeah. In the morning but it's probably going to be cut short. Coach was planning on going through some drills, but that’s it though” he tells me.

“So then I get to spend the rest of the day with you, right?” I ask hopefully. I’m talking popcorn and a movie marathon.

“Of course, baby. I'll do whatever you want,” he says. His words quickly got my attention.

“Anything?” I ask with a mischievous grin.

“Well not anything. Within reason” Eric clarifies.

“Sure. But lucky for you, I only feel like cuddling and watching movies” I tell him. Eric chuckles.

“Yeah, lucky me. But that sounds good with me. I'll see you in thirty minutes for dinner, right?” he asks.

“I'll be there,” I say. Tonight is supposed to have nachos, so I’m totally there.

“Okay. Make sure you're wearing your coat” Eric reminds me. He’s like a broken record, I swear.

“I will! Now I gotta a pee. I'll see you in a bit” I say as I practically fall off my bed trying to get off.

“Alright baby. Love you,” He tells me.

“Love you too,” I say back as I hurry to the bathroom over my clothes on the ground. Maybe I should pick up my clothes for once. Nah!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dang, it's freaking cold out here. The weatherman wasn't lying about record-breaking temperatures. My whole body is ice over. This car’s heater needs to hurry up. It's practically been fifteen minutes and it's still not warm in here. You're probably wondering why I’m in the car even though we were advised to stay in doors? Well, all morning I have been toasty in my bed when I realize that I’m out of coffee. Like my day is practically ruined. Coffee is the best thing ever. Besides shopping and Eric time. All though planning things is a close fourth. It finally stopped snowing and the weather seems clear. Well clear enough anyway. I figured I would go gets some coffee at the local coffee shop before hanging out with Eric. So that's where I am. The roads should be clear since its not snowing. Besides I’m not the only one on the road either. Cars have been passing on the road. I'm not the best drive as you may know from certain times but I should be fine. Right? You can do this Cori. Just drive slowly. I take a deep breath and pull into reverse. I manage to drive down the parking garage and onto the side road. Easy so far. What was I so nervous about? I turn to go right when it happened. My life flashed before my eyes.

Before I even realize it, my car was crashed into a tree. Holy crap! What just happened? I unbuckle my seatbelt and hurry out of my car to see the damage. I hope it's not too bad because my dad will kill me. Not to mention what Eric is going to do. Eek!

I see that only my front bumper is dented a bit but my hood for sure is going to need to be fixed. Great. I might as well get this over with. I go back inside my car and grab my phone to call Eric for help.

“Hey baby. I was about to call you. Practice is over” Eric greets over the phone.

“Eric…” I say pitifully. I’m feeling sorry for myself right now. Ugh.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” he asks worriedly. He just knows something is wrong. We have that connection. Not to mention I use my pitiful voice pretty often. So there's that too, I guess.

“Yes, something happened. I crashed my car,” I tell him as I slumped down in my seat. At Least it's warm in here finally.

“What! Crashed your-? Why are you even in your car?” Eric asks me confused. Somehow get yourself out of this Cori. I don't want a sore butt to keep me warm.

“Well I was out of coffee for my keurig and decided to get some at the Steamed Brew. It wasn't snowing anymore so I thought it was okay to drive,” I tell him. Boy was that a mistake. Not one of my finest moments and I’ve had many.

“Cori, you know it's not safe to drive today. The roads are icy, baby. Plus you need new chains on your tires” he reminds me. I forgot about the tire chains. No surprise there.

“I forgot. Honest. And I’m not even the only person on the road either. So I thought it was okay” I defend myself. Although I don't see anybody else’s car in a tree. Whoopsies.

“Just because you see other people doesn't mean you should be driving. Are you okay though, angel? Where are you right now?” Eric asks me making sure that I’m okay.

“I’m still by my car. Will you come help me please? I’m by the east car garage” I ask him. I don't know the first thing to do.

“Yeah. I’m walking back from the gym right now. So I’ll meet you in a few. You’re in trouble. You know that, right?” he warns me. My butt and me hear him loud and clear.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“I can't believe you actually tried to drive in this weather. Just to get some coffee. Honestly Cori” Eric gripes as he pulls me between his legs and pulls my pants down my legs. I’m then pulled over his lap unceremoniously as my doom is about to begin. Yay me. NOT.

“I thought it was safer to drive. It wasn't snowing anymore,” I say as I grip onto Eric’s covers. I feel him tighten his arm around me as he lifts up his hand and brings it crashing down onto my upturned bottom.

Smack Smack

Eric begins a steady rhythm of hard spanks that are already warming my cheeks.

“Just because it stopped snowing doesn't mean anything. The roads are still slick; especially if your tire chains aren't great. You shouldn't have been driving. Period” he says getting his point across to me.

Smack Smack Smack Smack

“Ah. I know! Ow!” I cry out as I try to dodge the constant smacks. Not that it’s doing any good since Eric just tightens his hold. Having a strong boyfriend is a blessing and a curse.

Smack Smack Smack Smack

“Do you know? Because obviously you didn't even stop and think if it was a good idea to be driving,” he says, paying attention to my sit spots. Ouch!

“I know now! Ah. I’m sorry! Ah” I say with tears streaming down my face. Eric knows that I have problems thinking about my actions. It’s why I’m usually face down over his lap a lot. He should cut me some slack. I'm a work in progress.

Smack Smack Smack Smack

Eric pauses the spanking to pull my panties down now. Oh joy.

“Your lucky nothing major happened to you or your car” he tells me as he continues on by paying close attention to my upper thighs. Jesus, that hurts. My bottom feels on fire.

SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK

When Eric came to check out the damage, he figured out that my car still ran fine. The only problem was my bumper and hood. I thankfully didn't hit the tree too hard. So I’ll be taking my car to get fixed sometime next week. Do you think my dad will notice a significant amount charged to his card. More than likely. Sigh.

“It won't happen again. Ow!” I cry as I start to sob.

“SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK

“Good. It better not” Eric says as he finished the spanking with only smacks to my sit spots. I'll definitely be feeling this for a while. With two final swats, Eric FINALLY stops and places his hand over my sore cheeks. He gently rubs them before pulling my panties and pants back up.

“Its okay now baby girl. Come here” he says as he helps me sit up on his lap. I’m wrapped up in is loving arms as he soothes my sobs down.

“Shhh angel shhh it's okay now shhh. I love you and I’m glad nothing happened to you” Eric whispers to me while rocking me. My tears slowly stops and I’m left with a very, very inflamed behind.

“You okay now?” He asks while kissing the top of my head. Besides the obvious, yes.

“Yeah but I still didn't get any coffee” I pout. All I wanted was a hot cup of joe. That's it. Hmph!

“Poor you” Eric says rolling his eyes.

“Yes, poor me! This stupid weather sucks” I huff as I snuggle loser to Eric. He chuckles.

“I mean, aren’t you the one who caused all this snow with your snow dance?” Eric teases. Of course I had to bring this upon myself somehow.

“Well I take it all back now. I don't want any more snow,” I tell him. Eric was soooo right about my dances. Never again. I learned two important lessons today: don't drive in icy conditions and snow dances bring about a world of pain for my cute butt. Only happy dances from now on. Heehee.

Baking Revenge

“In other news, we have a week until our annual Halloween party with Andrew Lane. Is everybody getting excited?” Todd asks trying to get us pumped up. The problem is that no one really likes him. So it comes off really, really awkward.

“Yeah. We have a lot of funds to really deck the place out in decorations,” Julia, our treasurer tells him.

“Great. Since I’m president, ill designate who is bringing what to make things easier. So Daniel, could you bring some drinks?” Todd asks, writing down his name on a piece of paper. I roll my eyes annoyed that he just decided to be in control of everything as usual. I'm currently sitting in my weekly speech meeting. I enjoy giving and listening to speeches but one person makes it absolutely unbearable. Todd Hann has been our president for the club for the last two semesters and he thinks he is all that. Me and a bunch of other members beg to differ. Todd is just a bossy, know it all with good looks. He does give good speeches though; I’ll give him that.

“Amy, would you bring cupcakes? And Lily could you bring cookies?” Todd asks us. I don't mind. I’m a surprisingly good baker. Unlike some people I know. Cough cough Cori.

‘Sure” I agree with a nod.

“I guess so” Amy says a bit unsure. Todd writes our names down and continues to ask the rest of the members in the club.

“Alright, that's everyone. Remember that we are having the debate team join us too. So plan to make a little extra to have enough. They are planning on bringing stuff as well. Does anybody have anything else to add? No? Well that's it for this week guys. Get ready to have some fun next week” he says, standing up from the front table. I finally don't have to hear him anymore. I grab my bag and stand up when Amy approaches me.

“Hey Lily” she says with a smile. I’ve always liked her speeches. Amy’s a little quiet but once she is on a topic she loves, she’ll talk your ear off.

“Hey! What’s up?” I ask her.

“I was wondering if I could switch what we are making for next week? I suck at cupcakes but can make pretty good cookies” Amy tells me. Fine with me. Like I said, I’m a pretty good baker. Felipe LOVES trying whatever I make.
“Sure. No problem. Let's go tell Todd,” I say and we both head to where Todd is standing.

“Hey Todd. Amy and me are going to switch our foods for next week. I'll make cupcakes and she’ll make cookies,” I tell him. He takes a deep breath and crosses his arms. Oh here we go.
“Well, I wish I could but that wouldn't be very fair thing to do to everyone else now would it? That's why I chose what people would be bringing. To avoid this” Todd says in his usual conceding voice. My blood is starting to get hot.

“I mean, I don't see anyone else asking to switch. Just us. So I don't really see the problem,” I tell him, crossing my arms now.

“I’m just not really good at making cupcakes,” Amy says trying to change his mind.

“Plus isn't better to bring an item that's edible instead of inedible. We’re trying to impress Andrew Lane, not scare him away” I add to get my point across. Todd grins at me.

“Lily, you really should consider joining the debate team. You always get your point across. Okay since I like you, I’ll let you trade what you're bringing. Okay?” he tells us. Well thank you Mr. president for granting us permission.

“Thanks” I say with an eye roll and head for the door to get away from him.

“He is so full of himself,” Amy says, walking out with me. I couldn't agree more.

“I know. I can't stand him at all” I huff, opening the door of the English building.

“Not a lot of people do. I just wanted to say thanks again for trading foods with me” she says to me before we part ways.
“No problem! See you next week,” I say with a wave as I bound down the steps of the building.

“Bye!” Amy calls out before leaving too. I take my cell phone out and call the person who I know will calm me down.  

“Hey sweet pea. How’d your meeting go?” Felipe asks once he answers his phone.

“Fine until the end. Todd was such a jerk about assigning who brings what to the party next week. I wish I could wipe his grin off his face,” I growl into the phone as I walk across campus toward my dorm room.

“What happened?” he asks me since it is a regular thing for Todd to get on my nerves.

“He was a jerk about Amy and I switching what we’re making for the party. He acted like he was doing us a big favor or something. We’re not kids” I huff angrily. If you couldn't tell by now, I really hate this guy,

“Calm down for a second. Don't let Todd piss you off anymore tonight. Tell me something good that happened instead” Felipe tells me, hoping to get my mind away from what's his face.

“Well I’m supposed to make cupcakes. So I’ll get to show off my baking skills,” I tell Felipe, already thinking about how I want to decorate them in Halloween theme. Maybe I’ll do spiders webs or Frankenstein cupcakes. Those would be cute, right?

“Oh? So does that mean I get to try some of those delicious cupcakes?” Felipe asks with I’m sure a grin. Told you he has a total sweet tooth.

“Only one” I tell him, as I get closer to my dorm room.

“One!? That's it?” he asks me in disbelief. I walk up the steps of my dorm building.

“Yes, only one. You’d eat them all if I let you,” I say with a giggle.

“Fine. It’s not my fault you bake such good stuff,” he says. True!

“Okay. Maybe two. I just need to figure out how I want to decorate them. I'm going to as soon as I get into my room” I say,

“Can't wait to see them. So are we still on for breakfast tomorrow mi amor?” Felipe asks me. I roll my eyes playfully at his question.

“Why do you always ask that? You already know I’m going to say yes” I say with a laugh.
“Well I don't know. Sometimes you want to sleep in before class instead,” he answers with a laugh of his own.

“Rarely. Plus I hardly saw you today because of your football practice and study hours. I want to see you first thing in the morning” I tell him as I make my way down the hall toward my room.

“Alright sweet pea. See you tomorrow. I love you” Felipe tells me.
“Love your too” I say back before hanging up the phone. Hopefully Cori is in our room so I can bitch about Todd to her. She can't stand him either and she hasn't even met him. What are best friends for if they won't listen and support your problems or annoyances? Heehee.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“Okay so the second batch of vanilla cupcakes are cooking right now and I just put the chocolate ones in” Cori tells me while she puts the cupcakes into the oven. She agreed to help me bake and decorate the three dozen cupcakes that I agreed to make. She’s the bestest friend I could ask for.

“Great! We can start decorating the ones already cooled with white frosting,” I say while opening up the tubes of white cream. I decided to do spider webs, candy corns, and brains as toppers. Let's hope they turn out okay. Or else Felipe will happily eat the mess ups. He already let me know in advance.

“These are going to look so cute when we’re finished with them” Cori says, picking up a cake to frost. Thankfully the community kitchen was empty tonight so it's just us in here.

“Let's hope so. If they turn out good, I’m planning on making them again for Felipe’s little brothers” I tell her. But if these turn out bad, I’m ditching that idea. I can't bring them ugly cupcakes. I have a reputation to uphold. They already think I’m some kind of legend in the kitchen. It's kind of cute actually.

“So who’s this speaker coming tomorrow?” Cori asks as she concentrates on her icing.

“Its some ghost story teller who has written books about it or something like that. Apparently Todd knows the guy” I reply. He was totally bragging about that fact too. Ugh.

“Of course he does” Cori says sarcastically. Told you she dislikes him just as much as I do.

“I know. After the success of this party, he is going to be unbearable” I groan, already thinking about his stupid smirk in triumph. He’ll probably allude to it for weeks afterwards. Which is unfortunate for my eyes and ears that will have to witness that.

“If only there was a way to wipe his smirk off his face. Don't you wish a lightening bolt struck him or something?” she says. I raise my eyebrow in question.

“A lightning bolt? How would that help?” I ask.

“It could paralyze his mouth or something,” Cori answers with a shrug. I laugh.

“I don't think it works like that. How could I control a lightning bolt to hit Todd’s mouth? It would paralyze his whole body instead,” I tell her. Only Cori would come up with something like that.

“I don't know. You know I’m not good at that science stuff. I leave that to Eric. But I’m sure there is a way to push Todd off his pedestal. Let me think about it” she says. I wish there was a way to but I’m not sure I want Cori to intervene. My butt always gets into trouble.

“I'm not sure I like the look in your eyes. I don't want anything to go wrong at the party. I hate Todd but I don't want to chance ruining anything” I warn Cori. She already has that signature look on her face that I’m afraid of.

“Thanks for believing in me. My plans don't fail all the time” Cori huffs defensively. My bottom begs to differ.

“Yeah well they seem to work only half the time,” I say, wiping vanilla frosting off my fingers.

“You and Eric are so mean and are total non-believers. Fine. If you don't want my help this time, I won't give it” she says dramatically. I roll my eyes at her antics and grab the red food coloring to make pink and red frosting for the “brain” cupcakes. Hmmm. a sudden idea forms in my head to get back at Todd’s conceitedness. Cori isn't the only one who can come up with plans in the duo. Heehee.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Night of the Party:

So it's time for the party and our usual boring meeting place is decked out in Halloween decorations galore. There is also a table filled to the brim with food. By the way, my cupcakes turned out amazing! Cori and I did an awesome job decorating them. No mess-ups for Felipe to his disappointment.

“Lily, your cupcakes turned out great. I guess it was a good thing that you switched with Amy. Your welcome” Todd says coming to stand beside me near the table. I roll my eyes.

“Um thank you, I guess? Why don't you try a brain cupcake? It’s fitting since you were the brains of this whole operation anyways,” I say while picking out the special cupcake I made just for him. In the red gel frosting, I added extra spicy hot sauce. Hopefully it will remove his arrogant smile off his face. At least for a little while, right? I can't wait to see the look on his face. Plus I can just say I accidently must have added hot sauce to it by mistake. I think I have all my bases covered. If Cori could see me now.

“Thanks Lily. I guess you're right. I did good,” he says, grabbing the cupcake I handed to him. I watch gleefully as he was about to take a bite from it before the doors to the room suddenly swing open to reveal Andrew Lane. This quickly gets Todd’s attention.

“He’s here!” Todd says excitedly before hurrying over to Mr. Lane. He didn't even eat the cupcake. He’ll probably put it down and forget about it now. Ugh. Just my luck.

“I'm so glad that you made it to the campus safely. It sometimes seems like a maze while trying to find the right building” Todd says when he greets our visitor.

“It wasn't too hard trying to find this place. Thankfully your instructions on how to get here were quite clear. This place looks fantastic in here. Very fitting for haunted stories” Andrew praises. I agree. The crew who was assigned to decorate did an awesome job.

“Well people are still getting here. So why don't you settle in and help yourself to the food table. Take this cupcake to start with” Todd says, handing his cupcake over to Andrew. My eyes widen and my heart starts to beat fast. Uh oh…

“Why thank you. These are very well made” Andrew says as he takes a big bite out of the cupcake. I cringe. I try to look away but it's like a huge car crash. You just can't. Look. Away!! Mr. Lane swallows and instantly makes a disgusted face before beginning to cough. I hurry and grab a water bottle to take to him. If only that could have happened to Todd.

“What happened?” I feign innocence as I hand the water to Andrew.

“Your cupcakes must have something in them that he must not be too fond of or something” Todd says a little worried. Andrew gladly takes the water and gulps down half the bottle. I can hardly breathe right now I’m so nervous

“That cupcake was really hot. Like it had hot sauce in it” Andrew sputters out.

“I'm soooo sorry. My friend helped decorate those and she must have used hot sauce as a funny prank. I'm really sorry” I lie to them. I know. I know. I'm a coward. I can't very well tell them that I did it. I'm already embarrassed. I'd die if they thought I did it on purpose. Which okay. I actually did but only for Todd. NOT out guest speaker. It's always Cori’s job to come up with the excuses.

“It's okay. I remember my time during college and how rowdy some friends can get. No hard feelings. But I’ll probably steer clear from the cupcakes; just in case” Andrew tells me with a wink. I breathe a sigh of relief that he isn't made. I feel terrible. Why couldn't Todd have just eaten the stupid cupcake first? My plan totally failed. Now I know how Cori feels when hers backfire too.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Later that Evening:

I trudge my feet up the stairs to the second floor where Felipe’s room is. I'm not really looking forward to seeing him because he’s going to ask how the party went. You guys know how it went. No bueno. I get to his door and tentatively knock to let him know that I’m here.

“Hey chica” Felipe says with a smile once he opens the door.

“Hey” I say back as he pulls me into his arms for a quick hug and kiss.

“So how was your party?” he asks as I slump onto his unmade bed where he was obviously just laying since it is warm.

“It was good. Andrew Lane was a really good speaker. Overall, it was fun” I say into his pillow. I'm trying to be nonchalant right before I head into trouble territory.

“Did they like your cupcakes?” Felipe asks me next as he sits next to me on his bed.

“Yeah, they loved them. Except there was a bit of an incident…” I say offhandedly.

“An incident? What happened?” he asks with a sigh. He is for sure used to my “incidents” by now. I stuff my face into the pillow and mumble out what happened. Hey, I told him. It's not my fault if he can't understand me.

“Lily. Tell me what happened” Felipe says firmly as he pulls my chin away from the pillow to look at him. Yup, he has on his stern face.

“I kind of did something to Todd. Well tried to anyways,” I say thinking back to what happened to Andrew Lane. It still makes me cringe so hard.

“Kind of? Stop dragging it out and tell me. Now” he says giving me a firm smack on the butt before pulling me to sit up. Well here it goes before my butt has to walk the plank.

“I wanted to get back at Todd so I put hot sauce in his cupcake. Only he gave it to Andrew Lane before he was able to eat it” I rush out.

“Lily Anne, you did not!” Felipe admonishes.

“It was an accident! The cupcake was meant for Todd. I didn't mean to do that to him” I say as my unhappy boyfriend takes my arm to pull me over his lap. On no, it’s happening.

“Well if you hadn’t had even tried it, it wouldn't have even happened. You know better than to do that, young lady,” he says once I’m fully over his lap and my jeans are pulled down.

“I know. I told him that I was sorry,” I say as Felipe brings his hand down hard upon my bottom.

SMACK SMACK SMACK

“You swat better swat have. Swat It swat was a stupid swat thing to do swat swat,” he tells me as my upturned cheeks begin to get sore.

SMACK SMACK SMACK

“Oooowe! Ah!” I cry out with tears brimming my eyes. Felipe spanks every inch of my butt with super hard smacks. Gah, his hand feels like stone. How does he do that? At least my panties aren't down yet. This would really hurt.

SMACK SMACK SMACK

“Was this one of Cori’s brilliant plans?” Felipe asks as he pauses my spanking to pull my panties down. Well, I just jinxed myself. Ugh!

“No, it was my idea” I say between sniffles. Boy, Cori is never EVER going to let me live this down. This might be worse than this spanning. Okay, maybe not worse but still pretty bad. Sigh.

SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK

“Well are your going to think of doing something like that again?” he asks, really spanking with vigor now.

“Ah! No sir! Ooow!” I cry with tears streaming down my face.

SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK

Felipe is concentrating only on my sit spots, which cause me to really squirm and howl.

“You better try not to do anything else to Todd. I know he can be an ass but pranking him is not the way to go,” he tells me. I'm leaving Todd alone and saying clear. Even if I want to punch him in the face. Not risking getting me butt roasted like it is now.

“I won't,” I cry into his bed.

SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK

Felipe gives me a half dozen more swats before finally completing the spanking.

“Are you going to leave Todd alone now?” He asks me while gently rubbing my scorched cheeks.

“Yes sir” I say, wiping the tears still falling. My bottom is seriously burning right now.

“Good, because if I find out you did, you’ll be getting your hairbrush” he tells me sternly. Point taken, babe. I hate that thing. My behind is already cowering in fear.

“I won't,” I promise. Felipe pats my bottom one last time before pulling my pants and panties back up.

“Good girl” Felipe says while helping me sit softly onto his lap and wraps his arms around me. I snuggle into his warm embrace as my tears slowly stop and I’m left with the occasional hiccup. Felipe gently rocks me back in forth until I’ve completely calmed down.

“Are you okay sweet pea?” He asks me and gives my forehead a kiss. I smile and nod my head against him. I'm okay but my behind is NOT

“Good. I love you mi amor,” he tells me.

“I love you too” I say back and kiss his nose in return. I am definitely feeling content right now.

“So were there any cupcakes left?” Felipe asks me next with a grin.

“Maybe. But I’m not sure I want to give any to you now” I say playfully pouting.

“Oh. It’s like that, huh?” he asks me. I giggle and give him a kiss on the lips.

“Just kidding! Come on, they’re in my room. I didn't want to carry them across campus” I tell him as I stand up and drag him to the door. I guess I’ll have to cool my jets with the Todd dislike for now. Maybe Cori’s idea about a lightening bolt will actually happen. I can only wish!
