I sat at the canteen, noticing the collar around Malia and Sara's necks and Sara's bruised cheek. Malia looked down, picking at her food and as soon as I faced them, they both looked up, not surprised that I wasn't wearing one.
Jace sat opposite Malia and Naz sat opposite Sara. I sat next to Malia, taking her apple like always. Malia rolled her eyes, reaching for her apple but I slid my hand behind her neck, sending an electric signal through her collar. She gasped, feeling a slight sting before the collar fell off.
"You don't need to wear that stupid thing." I gritted my teeth, watching her rub her soar, red neck.
"Why didn't you both retaliate?" Jace clenched his jaw, also angry.
Sara came next to me, turning around so I could take hers off too.
"I did. I told him my father will be furious and he smacked me knowing my father doesn't care about me." Sara pouted, rubbing her cheek.
