Chapter 12

• Tracy led Nathan to her bathroom, “sit down,” she pushed him to sit on the toilet before opening the cabinet to bring out her first aid box. She turned to him again and seeing his bruised face, she sighed, “you won’t be going to school tomorrow, you know? If you don’t want your girls wondering what happened to you because you don’t look as handsome as you always do.”
• Nathan grinned and regretted it immediately as the cut on his mouth stung him, “ouch.”
• “Yeah,” Tracy nodded, “there won’t be much of grinning now,” she mocked before opening the box and bringing out cotton wool and iodine. “This is going to sting a little,” she warned as she dipped the wool with iodine and then bent in front of him to clean his wound. Nathan stiffened and shut his eyes, grunting softly.
