Please Don't Take This Out On Me
Chapter 6: Sharp Nails
I froze in terror. Oh my god I was in trouble. I raised my head to make eye contact with Mikey. He was looking back at me with the same terrified expression. I swallowed nervously and shakily said "n-not hungry." "No?" Mrs Skybalt moved around behind Mikey to glare at me and I saw him start to shake. "You look kinda hungry." I opened my mouth to protest when my stomach started to growl. Just. Great.
"Why are you not eating?" Mrs Skybalt hissed again; clamping a hand on Mikey's shoulder. Mikey let out a squeak and she slapped the back of his head. "Be nice, Michael." "I- I don't like hamburgers," I lied. There. That was easier then telling her I was against eating an animal.
"Perhaps you would like some chicken then? We have leftovers from last night." Mrs Skybalt ran a perfectly manicured hand through her black hair and raised an eyebrow. "N-no thanks," I muttered. "Why not?" Even though I was looking down at my lap I could feel the fiery gaze Mrs Skybalt was giving me. "Uh, I'm not a big fan of m-meat." "And why is that?" I heard the clinking of heels coming over to me but didn't dare look up. "Let me guess, you're a vegetarian." I felt sharp nails digging into my shoulder and I started shaking slightly. "Y-yes."
It was so sudden I didn't know how to react. Mrs Skybalt had pushed me off the bench and I landed on the hard ground with a yelp. I widened my eyes and tried to sit up but she pushed me back down and glared at me atop her wide rimmed glasses. "Julien!" She hollered without tearing her gaze away from me. "Bring me the cow tongue."
