in a panic and rushed to the bathroom to inspect the damage. I groaned when I saw my eye resting at half-mast since the skin surrounding it was

swollen and comprised of colors ranging from dark navy blue to black. I reached up tentatively to touch the skin and cringed as the pain rocketed

throughout my face. This was not my first black eye, but it had been a long time since Lucinda had left a mark where someone could see it. The last

time it happened a neighbor had reported it, and we moved the following day. How would I explain this at school on Monday? I ran through several

feasible excuses, but came up empty. I looked like I had gotten into a fist fight and lost.

I spent the day icing my eye, hoping the bruising would miraculously disappear. Lucinda was remorseful about her actions and tried several

times to engage me in conversation. Under ordinary circumstances, I would have responded and made her feel better about her actions, but the

stress of going to school the next day made it harder to forgive her this time. Kevin spent the majority of the day glued to my side, watching me

warily. He had seen me suffer Lucindaʼs wrath multiple times over the years, but usually the marks were hidden by my clothes.

After her attempts with me failed, Lucinda turned her attention to Kevin. She tried to bribe him from my side by offering to let him watch his

favorite television program with her in her room. Kevin mumbled some excuse and remained stoically by my side.

Lucinda finally stomped down the

hall, cursing something about our selfish behavior.
