When Love Rises, Hatred Burns the Heart

During freshman orientation training, I applied for an exemption because of my congenital heart condition. But all it took was one word from Hannah Simmons about it being "unfair," and Robin Delgado had me by the collar, ordering me to stand at attention for four hours under a blazing hundred-degree sun. I turned to the drill instructor beside us for help. What I got in return was Robin's sneer. "Tabitha Winfield, this whole school runs on my dad's money. You really think he's going to help you?"
