As for Brielle, she had errands to run that morning and left for a bit.
“Kneel down!” A furious, sharp voice rang out nearby, full of anger. “You've been goofing off and not studying!
An A-minus? Are you trying to embarrass me?”
A crisp, harsh sound cut through the air.
A man gripped a ruler in his hand, striking the boy with it again and again. The boy hung his head low, wet bangs
clinging to his forehead, and a burning red mark was stamped across his cheek.
