Lira tried not to pay too much attention to her bandaged hand. It hurt. A lot. Even with the numbing Kolto and something else stuff they put on the bandage.
And of course she was the one who got in trouble. Typical.
"Lira,"
"Am I in trouble?" Well, she knew she was in trouble at school already.
"Depends,"
"On what?"
"Why did you punch him?"
"I punched him cos he was picking on the little kids, and the teachers don't seem to do anything."
"Then you aren't in trouble,"
She looked up at her father, "Really?"
"Yeah, you had a good reason," He smiled, "And kiddo,"
"Yeah?"
"Next time you want to punch someone, don't tuck your thumb in, you won't break it next time,"
"I'll try," She had already decided breaking her thumb once was enough.
"And if you want to annoy 'em punch 'em in the nose, if you want to knock 'em out aim for the throat,"
"Okay,"
"Hey, they suspended you right?"
"Yeah…" That really sucked.
"I know your hand is messed up but how about I start showing you how to use a blaster? 'Bout time you learned,"
Lira smiled. Maybe being suspended wouldn't be so bad after all.
