Juliette kept running. She wasn't quite sure where she was going, but she didn't care. She had to get away from everything. She didn't want to talk to anyone. She had been handling the situation by taking her frustrations out on the wood, but they had taken that from her. Finally, the girl could run no more. She threw her head back and screamed. This isn't fair! her mind exclaimed. It just isn't fair! She doesn't have the right! Who does she think she is? She's always judging and criticizing me, and I hate it! she inwardly seethed.
