After leaving the History of Magic classroom, Penelope ran through the hall crying. Stupid, she was stupid for yelling at Kyroh like that. She shouldn't have yelled at him. Why had she yelled at him? There hadn't really been a reason to yell at him like that. She felt horrible for yelling at him like that. And that had made him feel bad. He had yelled back at her. What had she done? Thinking about it made her cry more. She felt sick to her stomach just thinking about it. Why did it have to be her? Penelope, the smart and quiet little girl. No, not anymore. She had yelled at Kyroh. The guilt and embarrassment of what she had done was terrible. Why? Why had she yelled at Kyroh? Why did she have to yell at him in front of the whole class? This feeling was worse than anything she had ever experienced. Why did this have to happen to her? Kyroh was kind of a brat, but no one, neither Kyroh or her, should have been yelled at by the other. Why couldn't she have just kept her mouth shut and taken notes?

Penelope disappeared around the corner and ran up the stairs to the second floor.
