I had a 5^th grade teacher that was a real knockout. I got along with her pretty good until one day I found out that the punishment for chewing gum in class was to spend an entire class day under her desk. I immediately took to chewing gum in class. When she finally made notice of this just before lunch, she told me that that was too bad because now I would have to spend the afternoon under her desk and would miss the movie we had planned after lunch. I eagerly anticipated after lunch and arrived back in class early to take my place under her desk. I sat down in the corner beside the wooden footstool that was under her desk. When she arrived at her desk, she looked at me and smiled, sat down in her chair and rolled up to the desk. After she slid up to the desk, she placed both of her feet on the footstool and began class. She was wearing strap sandal platform shoes with hard wooden soles. Her toenails were painted pink, and she wasn’t wearing any stockings. I moved my head close to her feet so I could get a better look, and about that time she lifted her left foot off the platform and swung it around over her right, crossing her legs. I was still bent over at the platform, but when I tried to sit up, I found her left foot was where my head used to be. I thought to myself that she must have done that on purpose… she had looked under her desk before sitting down and she knew where I was. I was only uncomfortable for a minute, and she got up from her desk to start the movie. I took the opportunity to push her footstool out of the way and lie down where it was in an effort to startle her. I figured that she would come back to her desk, see me there, and I would have to move. Just as I was happy about my plan, the lights went out and I remembered that we were seeing a movie. I started to get up, but something heavy landed on my shoulder and chest. It was her right foot. Someone else had got the lights. Before I had a chance to react to the heavy landing of her foot on my chest, her left foot came down across my nose and mouth. Her wooden soles were hard and heavy, I knew she couldn’t feel my face under her foot, because she started twisting and turning her left foot on my face and pushing down hard with the heel of her shoe. I was seeing stars, The sole of her left foot finally settled diagonally across my face smashing my nose and cutting my lips with her heel. I could hear the movie starting and with the opening music, she began tapping her heels and soles up and down to the music. The shoe on my face was banging me in the mouth and forehead while her other foot crushed my ribs. Then I felt something else. My hand was sticking out the bottom of her desk up to my wrist and someone had just stepped on it and was standing there. I heard Mary’s voice as she asked teacher if she could go to the restroom. Mary had seen my hand and was stepping on it on purpose, she had no idea that I was being crushed under teacher’s platforms. Even so, when Mary asked for a hall pass, teacher leaned forward to hand it to her and nearly lifted out of her chair standing on my face and chest. Mary rocked back on her heel, which was on the back of my hand, spun on that one heel, and walked off. I was about ready to pass out from the left foot bearing down on my face when both her feet lifted off of me and she rolled back and got something from the table behind her. The stars and spots hadn’t even begun to clear when I was pounded in the forehead by the sole of her left shoe. Her right shoe came right behind the left and dropped hard on my mouth and chin. It stayed there only a moment and then she swung her left foot over her right to cross her legs. As soon as her legs were crossed, she lifted both her legs and re-positioned dropping her left foot and the weight of both legs onto my mouth. I was crying real tears at this point, but hadn’t made a noise, mostly because there was a shoe covering my mouth. I was trapped like that for nearly 20 minutes before she changed position, uncrossing her legs, and kicked me in the temple to push her chair back. She left her desk and walked around the room to stand in front of it. I didn’t think fast enough to move my hand and she stepped right on it and stood there, leaning back on her desk and talking to the class. I tried to get up but my hand being pinned and my arm under her desk kept me from getting up. After a couple of minutes, the bell rang and class was dismissed. Teacher stood in front of her desk until the class was gone, and then stepped off and around her desk to sit down. I had just gotten my hand back when I realized that she would be back to her desk in a moment. I looked under the edge of the desk for her feet, but I didn’t see them. Then I realized, she was sitting on the desk. After only a second, I heard a clump, and noticed that one of her shoes had been removed and dropped under the desk. I looked up just in time to greet the second shoe with my face. Stunned, I lay there for a moment and saw stars, then I heard her jump down from the desk. She turned around and sat in her chair, looking around the classroom and out the windows. Then, without warning, she slid forward and stomped both her bare feet down onto my upturned face. She sat there and twisted and ground the bottoms of her feet on my face for a minute and then she spoke to me. I suppose you think that I don’t know I’m stepping all over your face, she said. Well, I do. With that, she lifted her feet off my face and pushed back from her desk. She grabbed me by the arm and dragged me out from under her desk, still lying on my back. She looked down at me lying on the floor and laughed. You have footprints all over your face. Then she grinned and she brought her right foot up to inches above my face and started slowly lowering it. Her foot touched down with the ball of her foot upon my mouth and her toes smashing my nose and she continued to shift her weight to that foot. It was silent for a couple minutes as teacher slowly put more and more weight upon my mouth and nose. When she had completely stood up on the ball and toes of her right foot and all of her weight was balanced upon my nose and mouth, she giggled and told me that she had seen Mary and Elizabeth take turns holding me down while the other stepped upon my face.

"I know you liked it because when I asked you if Mary had been mean to you, you said that you liked her and anything she did to you was OK. You didn’t even mention Elizabeth, and she was the cruelest, I saw her stand on your face with her shoes on. I think you were even smiling when she stepped off finally even though you had footprints on your forehead that matched her tennis shoes. I want you to know, I find the way Mary and Elizabeth treat you to be very exciting and I wanted to try it too."

She looked down at me and saw that I was about to pass out and she stepped down off of my face. From now on, when I put you under my desk, I want you face up under my feet as soon as you get there. I will probably find lots of reasons to put you there. She smiled and stepped on my chest and then my face and squatted down on me to reach under the desk for her shoes. I was trembling and weak when she stood back up and shifted all her weight to her right foot on my chest and lifted her left foot to replace the sandal. A flash of pain hit me when her left foot came back down on my face and landed across my mouth and nose. The pain grew and intensified as she shifted all of her weight to that foot and lifted her right to replace that sandal as well. After both shoes were replaced she bent over to fasten her sandal straps and giggled as she got a close up look at her sandal squashing my nose and mouth. She twisted and shifted her weight all to the foot upon my face and lifted her other foot up to fasten the strap. Teacher stood there upon my face for a second and then twisted and repositioned her foot so that she could get both feet upon my face and stand there. I heard her dialing the phone, and then I heard her talking to someone about me.

I passed out during that immeasurably long phone call and woke up to her kicking me in the side and telling me to wake up, that my parents had loaned me to her for the weekend and she was ready to go. I walked out to the parking lot to her car with her, and as we crossed a section of lawn, she tripped me and when I fell she walked right across me stepping on my butt, back, and head. She laughed and told me to get used to being part of the ground, because she had invited Mary and Elizabeth and their older sisters Teresa and Ellen to come over and spend the night. She said that she and Mary had planned this and she had told Mary to tell me of the under-desk punishment so she could get me under her feet. She said they had big plans for me and I should rest up.
