OCTAVIA POV

My cheek is burning.

Mom's slap still resounding in my ear.

The feeling of pain in my chest is so overwhelming.

Mom has never slapped me before, for her to do that right now, it could only mean one thing......

She's furious.

I look up at her remorseless face.

Her eyes speak voices.

It's like they're saying they expected more from me, or I might I failed her.

I look at Luna Lora and she has this rediculious smile on her face.

Anger brews within me.

My blood is boiling

I want to hurt her but I refuse to do that

I clench my jaw a failed attempt...
