Shit. Shit. Shit.
“Piper and I can talk about it at school.” Eli’s lips turned up even more. The smug, self-satisfied, sick asshole.
“Sounds good,” my father said briskly. “All right, well, my apologies again.”
He was already swinging open the front door. As much as I didn’t want Eli and Mr. Kingston to stay, I didn’t feel exactly peachy about having them leave, either.
“Have a good night,” Mr. Kingston said. “We’re on for poker this weekend?”

“What’s come over you?” he asked me.
“I’m sorry,” I said, and even though I didn’t mean it any more than I did before, the words fell easily from my lips.
His fingers crawled over the buckle of his belt. There was a soft whisper of leather as he pulled it out of his belt loops before it hung from one of his big fists.
Still, the belt wasn’t the worst thing that’d ever happened to me.
“Get up to your room now,” he told me.
