Elijah Wood is a species all his own. Senioris Assius.
Actually, I don't think he is a senior. He's 19, but he might be a junior. He hardly deserves to be a freshman. He never studies anything but my butt, never does his work, never does much of anything really, except hit on me every chance he gets.
Unfortunately, due to his behavior, I end up writing him up frequently for sexual harassment. And the brilliant principal's advice is to give him detention hall.
Yes, for grabbing my ass in front of the whole class, the office sent him back with a recommendation that I keep him after school. In a room, alone with me, for two hours. Brilliant.
So there we are- me grading papers, him ogling me and whistling, and me begging the clock to hit five as soon as possible. He comes up to my desk. I turn to him, asking him what he needs.
He grabs my wrists. "To finish what I started in class today."
He pulls a bandanna out of his pocket and ties my wrists together, in one swift motion, before I even know what is happening. All I can think to say was "No. Please. Please. No." and my whispered pleas are ignored. I choke those two words up, over and over, until there are no words left.
"Shut up," he says. And it doesn't occur to me to scream, or even to continue my feeble begging. I just cry silently, hoping he won't hurt me too much.
His hand comes crashing onto my face, a burning slap. I cry harder. He hits me again, at least ten times. And every time it stung worse. My whole body is shaking and it feels like my face is on fire. And I'm sobbing so hard. "Shut up, slut," Elijah told me. "Shut up and get on your knees."
Not wanting to be hit again, I drop to my knees, hands still tied behind my back. I look at the floor, terrified for my life.
"Look at me, you little whore."
I look at him, avoiding his eyes.
