Hadden thought he would drown and die on 3 separate occasions when he was tossed into the ocean time and time after not being able to remember the alphabet. He couldn't imagine just why his teacher was trying to kill him.
Was he trying to get rid of him? He didn't even question why they were in the ocean. That never even crossed his mind. All he did was desperately try to save himself from the crashing waves that threatened to slam him onto the cliff wall multiple times.
He wasn't sure how long he had been in the water or when he was pulled out and placed on the beach. His eyes opened blearily, and his vision was filled by sunlight the moment he opened it.
He tried to move both his arms to block the sunlight, but only his right arm listened to his command. He heard footsteps and quickly turned his head toward the figure.
"How do you feel?" Ning asked, towering over him, shading him from the sun.
