Chapter 5

Dylan POV.

“Ouch, not so hard.” I seethed as the school nurse cleaned my new wound with antiseptic.

“If you had of just kept your mouth shut, this wouldn’t have happened.” I turned to my right looking out the window at the few clouds that were floating in the blue sky.

They only execute people who they believe are the biggest problems to society.
