The commanding tone caused Madison to flinch before stiffening her body until the only movements were small tremors of fear. She had gone too far and she knew it. What would he do to her now? She shuddered at the thought but remained still, forcing her mind to not wander.<br/><br/>If Mattie could she would have shrunk into herself as a turtle would retreat to its shell as he came even closer, further crushing her personal bubble. She wanted to escape, to hide, get as far away from Mr. Blackstone and the school as fast as possible. What type of school can keep its students on the grounds? She had never heard of rules as such for a college.<br/><br/>Hoping to return to her teacher's good graces she whimpered and let her head fall slightly in defeat. "I'll cooperate Mr. Blackstone. I'd much rather prefer to sleep in my own bed." It hadn't dawned on the poor girl that he threatened to make punishment worse until she couldn't sleep in her room. Had it she would have asked where she would end up sleeping.<br/><br/>The trapped feeling wouldn't fade and all Mattie could do was hope he would let go once satisfied that he had won. As a show of her intentions her free hand reaches into her jacket pocket and pulls out her music player, "I hope my actions haven't ruined my chances of ever getting this back. Take it."
