Ch 1: Links POV: “I’m DONE with your back talk mister!” My mom yelled at me. “Your grades are horrible! You better have a good explanation!” She yelled again. “I don’t know why!” I lied rolling my eyes and crossing my arms. She held her hand out. “Phone.” She said forcefully. I sighed and put it in her hand. “You better stay here until dinner.” My mom said calmer this time. She left and I remembered something. The REAL reason why I had bad grades and I was…the “D” word I refuse to call myself. I looked at my window. We were on the second floor of the apartment building. I opened the window and jumped out. At first, it felt shaky, I almost blacked out. But I started walking into the city. It was about I looked at my watch. 7:30. I continued until I was at a dark, unwelcoming alley. “There you are!” Sidon said. He handed me a bag.
