As the school day progressed I found it impossible to get my thoughts to focus on the tasks at hand in each class and my day was passing way to fast for the severe punishment that awaited me and some poor soul as an example at home.

How could there be more than just my father that took interest in this, how could the pain of others bring them joy not even just anyone but specifically children how could they stand there and beat down a minor to the point they start to think death just might be better.

Deep in my thoughts I started walking to choir I was brought to an immediate stop by a pair of hands that wrapped around my arm and pulled me into the wall, hard.

Stumbling over my own feet I fell to the floor I didn't want to even look up because I knew it would be Fangs gang but I didn't want to come off as submissive and weak so I glared up at my attacker which happened to be his slut.

"Don't think you can pull another stunt like yesterday got it or I will pummel you into the ground like dust"

"No you won't you'll get one of these meatheads to do it" I snapped back while pointing with my head to my left to the two jocks that stood there waiting for her command, where was Fang I wondered?

"Of course I wouldn't want to get my own hands dirty on your second hand store attire" she sneered while pointing accusingly at my outfit that was offending her so while scrunching her nose up she looked lazily at Sam who on cue grabbed a handful of my hair to lift me up and I knew because of years of taking everyone's crap he was gonna punch my stomach.

I prepared for his punch and grabbed his fist when it came full swing right as I predicted I saw the shock register on his face and twisted his wrist straight up and I heard the pop I knew was gonna come afterwards.

He let out a very unmasculine scream and dropped to the floor just as I saw two faces I hated equally turn the corner and walk straight for us Fang, and the principle they both saw the scene laid out in front of them and speed up to get to us.

"Oh thank gawd you came when you did Max just went on a rage spree and broke poor Sam's wrist I think, he like doesn't look to good he might need a Doctor." Lissa jumped in making sure she was the first to speak to snitch me out and blame everything on me.

"He tried to" I tried to speak up but wasn't listening to any of it he grabbed my hand and started walking to the office mumbling under his breath something about vacation and stupid kids.

He realized me when we reached his small cramped office with one chair I assumed I was suppose to take but I stayed standing.

"Please Mr. Hawkins just hear out" I tried again with no avail he was already writing me out a detention slip no even looking at me, oh no I can't do detention today Jeb would kill me if I was late especially if I was his perfect example of what a "properly disciplined" child should look like.

As if reading my mind he barked out "You will attend detention today and hopefully Sam's parents will consider that punishment enough and not press charges I will suspend you if you don't show up Maximum I swear do not test me, I can't believe you just broke a students arm I mean we cant have a school full of ..."

I started to tune him out he had started a full out rant at this point and I knew I was royally screwed either was if I was suspended the school would call Jeb to notify him of my harsh reaction and he would be mad one way or another I hope I live through tonight I silently prayed.

The day flew by even quicker now my anxiety was full blown out of control.

"Why the glum face?" a familiar voice asked to my left as I was walking down the hallway to detention I turned my head to look at Iggy while I kept walking.

"What you haven't heard I'm a public menace I can't be controlled so I have detention" I knew I was being dramatic but I was so irritated and freaked out what Jeb was gonna do so I was mopping and sulking around maybe a little more then necessary.

He laughed a light hearted laugh that sounded like bells and would have cheered me up a little if I wasn't so dead set on being angry and depressed.

"Watch out Ig she might break you'r arm" a deep voice called out a lot closer then I would like. I didn't even turn around I was tired of Fang's gang of dickweeds I wasn't in the mood to acknowledge him.

He grabbed my arm and turned me around but I spoke before he had a chance.

"Leave me alone!" I screamed ripping my arm out of his "You've fucked up my life enough for today"

He got mad and retorted with as much volume " I told you to stop provoking them now I don't think a little detention will kill you princess"

I got so frustrated I felt tears start to well up in my eyes I knew he saw them when his eyes grew a fraction of an inch and he took a step back.

"It's not detention i'm scared of" I barely whispered with those final words I turned and finished walking to detention in peace I could hear Iggy loud whispering at Fang in the background the only sentence I heard was the one that stuck in my head like a bad song was Fangs reply "She doesn't even know pain" with that last sentence before I closed the door and wiped my eyes of the last stray tears and sat down and immediately started twitching my foot at a speed that would make caffeine addicts jealous and chewed my nails.

The second we were released I took off like a bat out of hell not even stopping at my locker to drop off my now finished homework I dead sprinted all the way home plowing through yards jumping fences trying to buy back my already lost time I saw my house come into view and a green suburban sat in front of it "shit" I whispered they were already there he was gonna be pissed.

I didn't even give myself a minute to catch my breath that would just be more wasted time I barreled into the house gasping "I'm so sorry"

I didn't even finish my sentence, not because I couldn't but because I saw the kids that were on there knees hands tied behind their back for less resistance I gapped open mouthed still trying to catch my breath.

I finally found my voice "Iggy ... Fang" I whispered but their eyes reciprocate the same emotions I held panic, confusion then finally horror as then realized i was the test dummy they were gonna have to observe a lesson from in child abuse.
