In the office, there was this thirty–year–old woman, all decked out in designer gear, looking all posh and fancy. Next to her was a five–year–old boy, smugly looking up at another little boy cowering in the corner.
Across from this posh lady were the kindergarten principal and a teacher
“Thaddeus!” Cordelia spotted the boy in the corner and dashed over, her anxiety even pushing her to tears, “Oh my God! What happened to you? Why is your nose bleeding?” She quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe the blood off Thaddeus‘ nose.
Vivienne shifted her gaze to Thaddeus, her expression cold, a chill emanating from her. Did he get into a fight?
She saw Thaddeus‘ swollen face and still–bleeding nose. How could she think this was just kids fighting?
Thaddeus‘ state had Dorian’s face turn red. He turned to the principal and teacher, demanding angrily. “You just stood there and watched while a kid got beaten up like this?”
The principal sighed, “Well, Mr. Hawthorn, we couldn’t really do anything. Thaddeus just suddenly started hitting Dino. When we got there, he even had a knife in his hand.”

His nose is still bleeding. Can’t you see that? Couldn’t you have called a doctor to check him over? Couldn’t we have dealt with this after we arrived?”
Before the principal could respond, the posh lady interrupted angrily, “What kind of attitude is this? Your son hit my son, and instead of apologizing, you are blaming us? I’m telling you, if anything happens to my son, I won’t let you off.”
She finished, glaring at Thaddeus, seething, “So young and already knows how to use a knife. Will he become a murderer when he grows up? A child like this, might as well drown him in the toilet.”
