|backstory- your daughter had a panic attack at school
florences pov
i really didnt wanna come to school today. Dad said just try because hes not home today and i just agreed. Now im being told i have to do a speech infront of my whole year. I cant. I have really bad social anxiety. I keep telling the teachers i cant do it but there forcing me to. Just as were about to go to assembly i feel like i csnt breathe and i start to cry. The teachers are telling me to 'stop the act' but im not acting.
i walk out of my lesson and go into the corridor. I slide down the wall and sit on the floor. I cant stop and i need my dad.
I pull my phone out and press on his contact.
'florence give me your phone now!' i hear the headteacher say as she walks round the corner.
'fuck off' i say
'excuse me?!' she says
'I SAID FUCK OFF'
