BOOK EXCERPT:
Lisa, a 35 year-old American woman, has quit her job to travel the world. She finds herself in Central America, and decides improve her woeful Spanish. A month spent at a Spanish language school fails to help, as she ignores class assignments and fails to study. The frustrated teacher suggests she try a more rigorous school run by a good friend of his. Laura agrees, but fails to make any effort to find out what makes this school so different. "Introductions followed. Ash was 24 and from Perth. Gwen was 23 and from Swansea and taking a gap year before starting work as a veterinarian. Dana was 32 and from Tulsa and, like Lisa, had no long-term plans. Lisa was 35 and from Chicago, but she’d known that already. Gwen was coming into her second month at the school, and Dana her third. Lisa was surprised they were spending so much time there. “Doesn’t it get dull?” she asked. Dana laughed. “Oh, it’s never dull. The curriculum is really good, and it builds over time. I learned so much more in the second month than I did the first. And that pool is so hard to leave.” “She’s going to be a prefect this month as well,” Gwen said. “All that power is going right to her head.” “I might be a prefect, but they haven’t announced who got picked yet,” Dana said. She sounded confident though. “And Gwennie might be a big sister. If so, she’ll move into her own hut.” “What does a big sister do?” Lisa asked. “Oh, you just help people get settled in, make sure everyone follows the rules, that kind of thing,” Dana said. “There was a whole section about it in the handbook.” Lisa had received the handbook, but it had been in a word document, and hadn’t loaded well on her phone. “PDFs, what a concept,” she’d thought at the time. “Maybe I skipped that part,” she admitted. Dana and Gwen exchanged looks, meaningful ones. “Not a great idea,” Dana said. “They test you on it from time to time. I’d give it a good read over the weekend, just to catch up.” Lisa promised she would, not meaning a word of it. She’d figure it out as she went along. She noticed Ash looking at her pensively. Maybe a quick skim would be a good idea after all. She decided to change the subject. “Not to pry, but what kind of problems are you having, Gwen? Anything we could help with?” Lisa was expecting boy problems, or homesickness. “Poor Gwennie had a little trouble paying attention in class this week,” Dana explained. “A lot of trouble,” Gwen said. She looked nervous. Dana’s look was harder to read. It contained some sympathy but also something else. Lisa looked over at Ash, who looked enthralled, and who had crossed her legs at her ankles. “How bad was it?” Ash asked. “She has to go to see Senora Palacios after dinner,” Dana explained. “I’m going to get the stick, I know it,” Gwen said, sounding miserable. Lisa wasn’t sure about that one word. It might have been stick. But maybe sack? Would they kick her out for a little inattentiveness? Dana seemed to know what she meant though. She took a seat next to the younger woman on her bunk bed and put her arm around her. Dana was short, barely over five feet, and Gwen was Lisa’s height or taller, so five eight or five nine. Dana pulled the taller woman over, until Gwen’s head was resting on her shoulder. “I hope you don’t,” she said. “You might not. But you’ll survive if you do.” Lisa looked over at Ash, to see if things were clearer for her. For Lisa, they were clear as mud. Ash seemed to understand though. She looked… well, less horny, for want of a better word. More anxious. “Does the stick mean the cane?” she asked. “Bent over the desk, six strokes on your bare booty,” Dana said with a shudder. “It is really, really painful. But it’s also pretty rare. And the paddle isn’t that much better.” Lisa’s immediate priority was to keep anyone from noticing how shocked she was. Dana and Gwen seemed busy, but Ash shot her a little smirk."
