I sit impatiently in the heads office. He is pressing his pen tightly, almost snapping it. "Five times I've tried ringing your parents! Do they work late?" He scowls, glaring deeply at me. I sit up and put my hands on my lap, while looking as emotionless as I can "they're dead, sir." He suddenly turns white, by the expression on his face it reveals he has slight regret for his actions, which is common in normal society to feel that way in this situation, however I cannot comprehend.

So i robotically walk out the room and leave the school. As I am on my way home I check my arm and rub it lightly, although the burn has gone, it's still very painful...
