Gaming outfits mostly

When the girls returned to my office, I smiled as they walked in. Daisy is carrying a bundle of clothes effortlessly. Eliza, on the other hand, struggled through the door, looking flustered.

I raise an eyebrow and then examine the clothes they brought. "Let's have a look at your new wardrobe, Eliza. By the way, that is one of your punishments. You will introduce yourself to everyone here, students and staff, as Eliza. Unless you want to strip down right here and right now in front of Daisy, so I can do a underwear inspection, remember, if you don't have the correct ones, you would have to remove them," I lay down my proposal.

Eliza looks horrified. She instantly covers her chest, almost like we can see straight through her clothes. She surrenders easily. "I'll tell people my name is Eliza."

I smile at her and say, "Good, you have behaved so badly; I could easily have sent you back to your room completely naked for just breaking the uniform rules, so I would count myself extremely lucky if I were you. I'd say you have one punishment left, because it looks like you have suddenly learned to keep that mouth shut. I'll not go too hard, but I'm still thinking it over."

I start to look through some of the clothes:

A hoodie with the school logo on; it's certainly well-worn; it's red; although the colour is a bit washed out, the school logo is actually quite cracked with bits falling off. The fabric is nice and soft, though. The hood's drawstrings are frayed at the ends, and there are very faint coffee stains on the front. I add it to the keep pile.

A bright orange halter top; no stains on this; although it's a bit skimpy, I even see Eliza blush as I hold it up. I add it to the keep pile.

I picked up a plain white t-shirt, although it's probably best to say it used to be white as it's now a bit yellow. I mixed up the piles the girls brought in, but this would definitely be from Daisy, as I can't imagine Eliza would select this ugly thing. It has snags down the front from obvious wear and tear, so I add it to the keep pile.

A small pair of denim shorts, with a few holes in them. I'm actually unsure if they were made like that, if someone had done it, or if they just had some bad snags. The edges of the shorts at the bottom seemed frayed, but they will do. I add them to the keep pile.

A pair of jeans we're very similar to the shorts; these thought had a small stain on the crotch area, maybe nail polish, I'd guess. I add them to the keep pile.

A pair of white trainers, now more grey than white, had mud stains on them that looked like they would wash off with a good scrub. The laces were frayed, with one end cut off, and the soles are worn down. The insides are lined with the faint imprint of the previous owner's feet. I add it to the keep pile.

There are a few more clothes I add to the keep pile, until I come across one particular pile.

This pile of clothes all had one theme: they were pro-gamer, and all looked very clean and undamaged. Someone obviously grew out of a phase and just left them here.

A dark green t-shirt with a message on the front reading "I paused my game to be here" had an x-box controller underneath.

A light blue hoodie with "eat, sleep, game repeat" on the front.

A white t-shirt with "select player" and a load of characters from Mario Kart below it.

A load of socks with video game characters

Two sets of pyjamas, one pacman-themed and the other space invaders.

I added all the gaming stuff to the keep pile and smiled at Eliza.

"By the way, I noticed that you have several gaming clothes among these. Just wondering why you selected these; are you a fan of video games?"

Eliza shakes her head. "No, I picked up a couple because they looked clean, Daisy swooped in with the rest, and I was running out of time."

I nodded along and responded, "That works for me. I've got your next punishment sorted out, because it kills two birds with one stone. Another student here wants to make friends and fit in, her names Paige. Paige loves video games, and you will go to her and tell her you do too. Invite Paige to your room for some gaming. Remember, I do want you in the standard uniform and underwear, but to impress Paige, you can go to her in one of your new outfits, and you can change into your uniform once you're back in your room. I'll give you a note in case a teacher stops you, but there are no classes today as it's moving in day for many students.

Elizabeth looked like she wasn't keen; although I'm sure she is now well aware she could suffer worse punishments than coming across as nerdy, she was going to anyway, when everyone sees her clothes on weekends, she nods, confirming her punishment, but then says, "I thought I wouldn't have to change in here." I let out a little laugh and picked up one of the gaming t-shirts and the jeans I previously mentioned, along with some cute Minecraft socks and the dirty sneakers. I passed them to her and pointed to my private bathroom. "Go into there and change as quickly as possible; I don't have all day, and you have to introduce yourself to Paige. I'll pass you the room details for your new friend once you are back out. You can keep your current underwear on for now. I expect you to bring the underwear to me so I can put it with your other clothes in storage. Once you have changed, I'll take your current outfit as well." Daisy had a faint smile on her face as we both watched Eliza scurry off.
