"hey mom?"
"yes, honey?"
"i want to go to public school."
"what? why?"
"well, i don't think first grade was a fair shot. i want to try again."
"kris, you threw the boy through a window."
"he called me a name. i- it was years ago, mom. i was a little kid."
"people are still going to be mean."
"i know."
"they're like dogs. they take you and tear you to bits."
"i know."
"no public school."
"no public school."
mom walked away.
kris angrily closed her eyes. she knew it was for the best though. she's a monster. a crack formed on her mirror.
"why aren't i normal?"
she opened her palm and moved it an inch towards her lamp. it flew and crashed against the wall. glass flew everywhere.
kris put her head on her knees.
"fuck."
