Punishment

"You're a disgrace,"

Those words rang louder in her ears than the pain. She shuddered and everything turned blank. The tears from her eyes flowed down, screaming the words that left her mouth. It reflected into her and it made her suffocate.

The faculty gasped, witnessing that moment. Mr Pittman ignored Amber. He walked towards the principal and settled everything. He told them that Amber will make a public apology on the school page to clear Mister Sung's name.

Athasia, who was standing still, noticed Julie.

The girl who's always following Amber. The girl who's always doing anything Amber wanted was crying.

With this, Amber stood up and dashed outside. Her heavy footsteps echoed in those quiet hallways. She ran with her trembling legs while crying hard. She knew everything was her fault. Everything fucked up. Everything is always going to not be what she wanted.

She's being selfish.

She's being too hard on herself with those simple grades.
