Broken Boulder How Tweens Are Ruining Education

Eleuthera swung her head back to look at the be speckled girl, eyes wide with fright, as if she might actually come forth and apologize for the heinous act of killing her in her family’s new home, on her new turf! Oaxaca’s death had been one of the reason they had left the mountain, her mamas has told them eventually — so did that mean that they could not stay here either, and she had forced her family onwards… without her? Ohh, they would be so mad at her, like it was all her fault that she had died when really it wasn't.

And the girl didn’t even look sorry about it!

Instead, the other girl turned to leave and the little lilac one let her, without as much as a squall or an objection. Instead, hot tears prick at the back of her eyes as she thinks how much she will miss her mothers and her brothers and sister, and she darts back towards the family’s small rendezvous site, not stopping to notice how the small infliction upon her hip didn’t hurt even a little bit, not even at all.
