Dominique Malcolm has been quiet. After hugging my parents' goodbye, the ride home was silent for both days. He hardly said two words to me. I didn’t know whether to be elated or scared. I didn’t know what was going through that mind of his. Something happened between the time Lyla said goodbye to me and my parents, and Malcolm coming back into the dining area. He had been pleasant enough to my parents, but his eyes were heated. He had been pissed. Walking into our house, I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. There was no way he wouldn’t punish me for whatever slight happened. I was a little rebellious on this trip, so I was waiting for whatever punishment he was going to give. He went up the stairs to our room and slammed the door shut. My eyes widened, he just left me dow
