Dad: storms in, face red What the hell were you thinking?! Family values, eh? No respect!
Oneli
I’m 14 years old
slams fist on table You think being 14 excuses your behavior?
Oneli
tears up
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, I'm not gonna lie to you.
Oneli
sobbing quietly
sighs heavily You're grounded for two weeks. No phones, no friends, no parties. Maybe then you'll understand the consequences of your actions.
Oneli
whispers Yes sir..
points sternly And one more thing. You're gonna attend Sunday school every week.
Oneli
But dad I have football practice on Sundays..
leans in closer, voice firm You can choose: Sunday school or football. But you can't do both.
Oneli
I’ll choose Sunday school..
stands up, pointing towards the door Good. Now go to your room and think about what you've done.
Oneli
walks upstairs to my room
slams the front door shut, leaving Oneli alone in their room
Oneli
sits on my bed, crying softly
the next morning, Dad prepares a strict schedule for Oneli, detailing their tasks and punishments
Oneli
looking at the schedule, overwhelmed This is gonna be tough..
enters the room, holding a notebook Here's your daily schedule. You'll wake up at 5 AM, clean the house until 7 AM, then off to Sunday school.
Oneli
And after Sunday school?
pauses, looking stern You'll come home and help with dinner preparation. Afterwards, you'll complete your homework and assignments.
