The next evening, it was dinner time. Everybody was there except for Gwen. She walked in.
"Gwendolyn Frances, where have you been?" Hadley asked.
"Out."
"Out?"
"Hmmhmm."
"This late? It's dinner time!"
"I just went out with some friends ok!?"
"Just sit down and eat dinner, it's getting cold. Yorgo, do you mind warming Gwen's plate up for her?"
"Yes Ms. Hadley."
Yorgo warmed up her plate for her. Gwen sat down.
"Gwen, is everything alright?" Simon asked.
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"I said I'm fine."
Simon just shrugged his shoulders. Yorgo gave Gwen her plate.
"I'm gonna eat in my room."
She got up and walked away.
"Teenagers, am I right?" Simon asked.
Hadley stared at him. He continued eating his food.
A couple days passed by and Gwen was still going "out". It was night time. Hadley was on the couch waiting for her.
"Do you have any idea what time it is!" Hadley yelled.
"I know, I'm sorry, don't get mad."
"What have you been doing? This is the third night in a row you've been out late. What have you been doing?"
"Just hanging out with my friends!"
"Ok, Gwen, you are grounded for a month!"
Gwen ran upstairs to her room. She plumped herself on her bed crying. She got back up, went to her bathroom. She rolled up her long sleeves and examined her bruised wrists.
