"Let's just get this done please" I demanded, almost throwing my bag on top of Jorge and sitting down on the chair next to him.

Jorge sighed but agreed with me. He took the paper with the assignment from his bag and placed it in front of us.

We started reading the assignment again and I showed him my idea which I had written down on a paper.

We only spoke few words, not being in the mood of hearing each others voice.

After 1 hour of detention we both were free to go. If I estimate well, I think we approximately shared 10 words with each other.

He's just a dick.

Finally the detention ended and without even caring a bit about Jorge, I stood up and left the classroom.

I rushed back home and walked inside the house. My father wasn't home luckily, Friday.

I practically jumped up the stairs and fell down on my bed.

I had this moment in my life I just wanted this all to stop. Not to be scared anymore.

I needed to find an escape to this, although there is none.

My body was unable to continue this horrifying life. I knew that I couldn't keep this up for long. I wasn't made for this.

There were 2 opinions. Either I'd continue this until I literally fall dead from body damage. Or I'd try to find an escape to this all.

But in reality there was only one choice, cause there was no escape.

My father was stronger than me, there was nothing I could do against him.

It was only 5 pm and without any dinner I fell asleep, being too tired to even move my body.

"Cande where are you?" I asked her through the phone. It was Thursday morning, break time. I couldn't find Cande anywhere near.

"I'm outside" She happily squealed out. I widened my eyes even though she couldn't see that.

"Outside!? But it's freezing" I almost screamed through the screen of my phone.

"Nah its not that bad, come!" She responded before hanging up the phone, leaving me no choice but going to her.

I stepped outside of the warm school building, getting in touch with the cold outside air. I saw Cande relaxed sitting on a bench outside.

Ice was practically stained on top of it. "You're crazy" I stated before sitting down on the freezing bench next to her.

She just laughed and continues eating done of her food. "I have to do a stupid project with Jorge" I told her as she moved her head slightly forward with disbelief in her eyes.

"For real?" She asked in full shock. I nodded while rolling my eyes.

"Ugh it sucks so bad" I stated while eating my food.

"Maybe.. you two could become friends?" She asked in a tone of hope but also disbelief in her own words.

"No. Never in a million years" I immediately replied without hesitation.

Then the school bell rang through our ears and we stood up from the freezing bench. My entire body was cold.

We stepped in the school and walked inside the classroom. Mr Johnson let us in the classroom and we sat down in our seats.
