I looked at her tearstained face and mentally kicked myself. "I'm really sorry." I mumbled, "It was a personal thing." I slid down the wall, putting my head in my hands.
"I'm...dyslexic, and four years ago I was followed home by these complete and utter bastards.Twins. They teased me and kept calling me names. My brother was in school with me around this time. And they started messing about on him. And then, they followed him home, beat him up and put him in hospital, and I snapped. I went around to their house with a crowbar...." I trailed off, tears sliding down my face.
"I set fire to their house too. I was going to be sent to Juvy, but the judge recommended this school and said it was either Juvy or here till I'm eighteen. Percy....he didn't want me to go to jail. Neither did my mom. So they've been working their butts off for three years while I sit here and do nothing!" I stood up and kicked the wall, then proceeded to angrily wipe the tears from my eyes. "Screw that.Sorry." I walked quickly over to the mirror and wiped the black smudges out from under my eyes. "I doubt anything you did could be as bad as that."
