"When did you decide to kill Chico?" Master Geo questioned.
Edith was strapped to the the chair. She kept a straight face, her eyes following the teacher everywhere.
"We know you did. We're just not sure why." Geo dragged her cane across Edith's palms, shoulders and then across her back. "If you don't tell us why you did it, or who did it. There will be consequences."
Edith turned to look at her with a questioning raised brow.
"Tell us Edith." Edith just rolled her eyes.
Geo slammed the cane down on her hands. Edith clenched her jaw to prevent herself from making a sound.
"You'd think you would've learnt by now not to roll your eyes at me Edith."
Geo motioned to the previous times that she hit her hand because Edith rolled her eyes, her palms were red raw but it was nothing compared to what she had been through before.
"Come on Edith, tell me who did it." Edith smirked and cracked her neck. "We're done for today." Geo said as she unbuckled the restraints and the monks escorted her out as some other monks brought Maria in.
Edith daren't even look at the girl.

Edith laid on top of a grave, she often came here to get some quiet or to think. She was thinking about everything that has happened this past month.
Chico's death, her talking to Willie and Marcus and Maria now dating in secret.
Edith wasn't sure what hurt her the most, the fact that she killed someone or that Marcus and Maria date.
She was staring up at the clouds, picking random ones and deciding what they look like. She swore one looked exactly like her Momma.
Edith missed her Momma, she died when Edith was only four. She couldn't remember much about her, but she did remember that she always stuck up for Edith and herself against Papa.
Edith wiped a stray tear that she didn't even know fell as soon as she heard voices.
She tilted her head and saw Billy and Marcus. They were probably coming up to smoke some weed so Edith jumped off the grave and went to leave.
"Hey E." Marcus smiled at the girl.
She barely acknowledged his presence anymore. She carried on walking, Marcus glanced at Billy before chasing after the girl.
"E, wait." He stopped her. Edith looked anywhere but at his beautiful brown eyes. "What's wrong?" Edith twiddled her thumbs. "Edith please just-"
Edith rolled her eyes, like usual. It took everything in her to walk away from him. Marcus let out a sigh and ran his hand over his face still stuck in position, before pulling himself together and joining Billy once again.
