Mattie's world began to spin and her eyes unfocused as he told her his own expectations. She felt like she were a five year old who got caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Or like the kid in school who would always get into trouble and the principal goes on one of their rants.<br/><br/>She shrank into herself and although she hadn't appeared to be paying attention, Mr. Blackstone's words were getting through clearly. The Madison Clarke who would speak out and fight was screaming in her head to do so now, but the meek Mattie who would bend to her parent's will and be the good girl they wanted refused. She already feared what would happen to her when he decided to punish her. Tears silently streamed down her cheeks for a few moments there were so many questions but with three words she answered them all, "Yes-" she paused, trying to regain some of her composure. "Yes Mr. Blackstone."
