Chapter 1
As I get up for another school day, I hear my father call.
"Pasley! Get your ass down here!" He yells
I sigh knowing what's coming next and head downstairs.
"What's with this C on your report card?!" He screams in my face while pointing to a peice of paper
I hold back my tears in my eyes and apologize.
"I'm greatly sorry father, it won't happen again. It's just that there was a difficult tes-"
My father innteupts me with a slap on the face. It started to burn, like fire spreading up my cheek.
"Your're damn right it won't happen again." He speaks, in a lower tone, while walking back to the kitchen.
As I retreat back to my room, a tear rolls down my firey cheek, cooling the hot sensation.
I arrive to my bedroom and grab my bag. I creep down the stairs slowly, making sure my dad wasnt there. Once I saw the coast was clear, I continued down and left for school.
