The Set Off

At school the next day, I had 4 tests just like my aunt had said. One in math, history, science, and literacy (reading and writing).

  At my school, all of our assignments are done online so we got our scores right away after we get our scores our parent/guardian gets an email with our grades listed.

  My grades are not the best but I did okay this month

1. Math:54%-F

2. History:79%-C

3. Science:92%-A

4. Language Arts:81%-B

  I had 23 minutes until the final bell rung and i was dreading it now more than ever.

  After school, I always get a ride home with Zach. He is the same age as me but i was born 7 hours before him. Before you ask no we are not related in any way. He like me was born in the small town of Lamar, Colorado.

When we got home Zach tried to come with me but was told to leave. Once Zach was gone my uncle (who i live with) came in and closed the curtains and pulled out the "BE GOOD STICK"  which was my cousin and my sister got up and left the room.

  Later that day when Zach came over to see if I was okay, for the first time in 4 1/2 months i had black and blue bruises covering my body.

  That was when i decided.
