Chapter 7

SHADOW Goddess, these people hated me to the core. Thankfully, this was the last day of my punishment, and I was already dreaming of a long nap in my bed. On the other hand, a three-day punishment in solitary was probably the best choice after all. "Here, rogue." A buzz-cut teenager smirked and just gave me the plate. Before I could take it, he poured what was left of his food on the floor. So I had to mop the kitchen floor, adding to an hour of my time. I sighed and hid my anger and disappointment. "Serves you right. Next time, learn to respect who's a higher rank than you." That was just the first bully. Three bullies had done the same thing every meal since three days ago, but this one and the other were worse. Apparently, they admired Zack, hence the bullying and giving me a hard time. The cooks, not so much. They even helped me by cleaning utensils before they left, but these kids, Goddess, I wanted to ring their necks and squeeze them until their throats cracked around my fingers
