Shattered glass on the floor and a woman staring directly at me.
Those eyes have given me shivers for the past 18 years of my life, and will continue to do so. Though I'll say I was safe back then, safe for a bit. But now, only God knows what will happen to me.
At that moment, it was like a ticking bomb, she was a ticking bomb.

"You did what?" Her eyes were wide open, her fingers twitched. It was like watching doomsday right in front of me.

I stepped back as she stepped forward, bracing my arms in front of me like a weak shield. Her whole body was radiating with flames, glowing and sparkling like repeated fireworks.

"Please...we can talk it out.." My palms automatically clasps together, raising it to my chest.

"YOU WANT TO TALK IT OUT? SON OF A BITCH," Her spatula raised in unison of my praying hands.

Then she ran, then I ran.

Currently, it is 2 pm on a day with clear blue sky. I would enjoy it if I wasn't beaten and received a red hand mark on my cheek and a bump on my head.

"So all that hard work...for nothing?" She faces the wooden floor, cupping her hands together.

I stay silent. She knew all she had to know, nothing I would say would comfort her.

She finally faces me, her eyes in disbelief but still a hint of glare.

"What did you even do to get yourself expelled in the first two weeks?"
