Where the hell have you been, girl? Past curfew again!
I sigh. I just went to hang out with some friends, alright?
Friends? Again?! Is hanging out with your little punk friends more important than your responsibilities?
Shut it! I'm sick and tired of your attitude, SurrealMarsh. You think you can do whatever you want? You think you can disrespect me like this?
I look away. I know I've been bad, but I'm sorry..
Sorry doesn't cut it anymore, SurrealMarsh. You need to learn your place. Starting tonight, you'll be grounded. No more freedom for you.
I mean exactly what I said. No more late nights out, no more hanging out with your low-life friends. From now on, you'll stay in your room after curfew.
Good. Now go to your room and start packing up your things. You're not allowed to leave your room except for school until further notice.
I stand up and head upstairs towards my room.
And let me make one thing clear, SurrealMarsh. If you even think about defying my rules, there will be severe consequences. Do you understand me?
Good. I expect complete obedience from now on. If I see even the slightest hint of disobedience, you'll regret it.
That's right, SurrealMarsh. Remember, I'm in charge here. You don't have a say in this. Now go to your room and stay there.
I nod once more before heading into my room, shutting my door behind me.
smirks and leans back in his chair, arms crossed Finally, some peace and quiet around here.
checks the time and looks at SurrealMarsh's door It's been a whole week since I put my foot down. Time to see if she's learned her lesson.
I'm sitting peacefully in my room, sketching some art.
knocks on SurrealMarsh's door Open up, SurrealMarsh. We need to talk.
I slowly open my door. Yes?
sits down on the edge of SurrealMarsh's bed, arms crossed Have you learned anything from our little chat last week?
Yes sir.. I've been keeping my word. I've been staying inside after school, and I haven't hung out with those guys.
narrows his eyes We'll see about that. Starting tomorrow, you'll be subjected to a strict curfew. No leaving your room until I say so.
Because you need to learn the consequences of your actions, SurrealMarsh.
