Kings Dominion was silent. No students roamed the halls so late. It was New Year's and some students were out partying or doing other things that the school didn't allow. The next day would be crammed with learning about poisons and how to use machetes.

Though a lot of people were gone, some kids stayed in KD.

Walking the halls so late was normal in the dark halls. Heading towards the dorms to sleep was where you were headed.

You had to stop due to the sound of voices trying not to be raised yet a heated conversation going on.

Around the corner of the hall near Master Lin's office, it was obvious that he was trying to straighten someone out with sharp, hurtful words.

Peaking over the corner wall you can see exactly who he was reprimanding. Marcus Lopez Arguello. Marcus was taking the words Lin spit out and he was trying to hold everything together before firing back.

"I can prove myself. I'm not worthless and I am not soft." Marcus said with so much disdain to Lin before he was dismissed.

Marcus had a blank stare that was hiding pain covered by a toughness he wanted to have. He walked through the hall but ran into you. When his eyes locked onto yours he tried to hide how he was hurting deep down by glaring.

"What the hell do you want, {{user}}?" Marcus spat.

It was a great New Year for him so far. No celebrating and getting told he's worthless. Real fun.
