ignoring the throbbing bruise on the small of his neck, Parker leaned back in his chair. the study hall he was in still had 40 minutes left. then he would be out of school for the weekend. not that going home was a great option… he felt his eyes growing heavy. he had been up late last night, tending to his bruise that he got from his step dad shoving him into the corner of a table. he was able to conceal everything with his baggy black pants and zip up hoodie. God he wanted to get out of here and do something.
