"The sensation was scissors and too much to scream, so instead I just started to laugh."
~The Antlers

I smiled at Ashley carefully, protecting myself by curling my shoulders in. I tugged down my sleeves. If she found out about my arms, I'd never be able to show my face again. I'd have to change schools again.

"Aww, look! She's afraid," Ashley grabbed my chin. "Are you scared?"

   I shook my head in defiance. Then, I tugged my sleeves down even more and struggled away. Ashley noticed my fidgeting and grabbed my wrist. Then, to my horror, she jerked my sleeve up. I didn't even watch her reaction, and when she let go, I tugged my sleeve back down and ran off.

   When, I made it back to my home, I went to the bathroom with scissors in one hand and bandages in the other. When I entered the small room, I just started to laugh uncontrollably with tears pouring down my cheeks.
