Infuriated shrieks echo through the room. "Why must I take those stewpid lessons?!" Henrietta's shrill voice screams, throwing things harshly around her room. She tears her curtains apart snatching Teddy into her grasp. "Daddy buys me such worthless things, like this scruffy teddy!" Henrietta seeths glaring at the bear. She tears off his arm, stomping him into the floor. He grits his teeth, enduring the assault. "And this doll, why does daddy think its so 'pretty' when its so hideous, how is such a worthless doll prettier then me, me!" in a fit of rage Henrietta shoves Dolly into the wall, cracking her face. Still furious she stomps away to find something more entertaining to hurt. After she leaves Teddy goes over to his friend wincing as he does so. Laying on her side with tears threatening to fall. "T-Teddy...why did she say those things.." She asks with softly sniffling. Wiping the tears from her pale cheeks, he sadly looks to his friend. "I'm afraid I don't know Dolly, she is a cruel girl. Nothing she said was true though, I'm sorry my dear." Ashamed he sits with her, as they wait for Ms. Rosemary to come. After this he isn't sure he'll be able to hold his temper the next time.
