It's dark. I can't see or hear anybody. It feels painful and my hands feel slick. Then there's light, it's blinding. When I see what I've done, I freeze. I drop him and he goes limp on the ground. He's so broken. We're crowded around and it's so noisy with cheers and people yelling my name. My hands are wet with blood. I can't tell what's mine and what's his. I see my sisters in the crowd.

"Guilty"

There's no getting out of this. I'm to be in juvenile for a year. Maybe this is good. I can't hurt anyone, not anymore.
