Helanie:
There was no choice left for argument or discussion. I remembered what Emmet had told me: that some people can really bully someone into making decisions that make them look bad. Hence, I didn't argue with Lord McQuoid. I wanted Norman to dismiss his father's orders. And if not, it's not like I was the only one getting tortured, getting therapy from Norman. He hated it just as much.
"You are not taking the eleva--," Norman complained as I had to follow him. But his words were cut short when he realized I didn't plan to either.
I have challenged myself to grow my strength so that I can continue to wipe off Charlotte's smile whenever I get praised for acing any tests.
Especially combat classes.
"Huh! How many breaks will you take reaching the fifth floor?" he commented, walking ahead of me.
I didn't argue because it was not a lie that I would need my breath and needed to save my energy to climb to the fifth floor.
