Forgotten Brother (Adopted)

Chapter 16

Ari's p.o.v.

It was fairly quiet in the corridor after we got past the original shock of being summoned to the principal office...it was my first time in trouble during the academy. Bambi's mom approached us possessing a smile as big as Bambi's this morning. "Darling, I have a good news..." the lady stated and that made both of us listen to her. "We overlooked your grades and some lessons can be transferred to advanced classes." Bambi began to bounce up and down, suddenly enveloped both of us in her arms and giving piercing noises similar to a mouse. "Bambi are you not going to introduce me to your friend?" The lady asked her daughter and it made me flush of discomfort, glancing the ever interesting floor. "Mom, this is Ari Asahina, he's in my grade but in advanced classes." The lady nodded and told "Nice to meet you, Ari. I'm Hiromi Nordland."I glanced upward even though I wore my wig I presented a tiny smile and said softly "Nice to meet you Ms.Nordland." The lady smiled again towards me and nodded at Bambi. Turned towards the stairs and left telling goodbye to both of us. The lady left and Bambi was still bouncing up and down yet again. " Are you still little influenced by coffee?" I asked my friend who agreed "Just a little but I'm too happy to care. First dance school and now I can be in the same class as you too on some lessons. Must be my lucky day." She hugged me multiple times and it was getting little inconvenient for me because I did not enjoy being touched so much. "Your father is foreign?" I questioned and she nodded "He's from Norwegia... You gonna meet him soon too. Don't worry." I observed my sibling eventually exiting the office, he was walking towards us. "Miss Nordland the principal desires to talk to you." My brother told Bambi who gave me an embrace and whispered "Wait for me." and went inside the office again. My brother looked at me "I'm very disappointed in you Ari. Why would you attack Ema without good reason? Why won't you be nice to her? This girl you are hanging out is bad for you so from here on you're not allowed to talk to her or be near her." I was astounded by the choice of words he used "Pardon?" was single thought I could say and even if I desired to scream it, it came out so softly that even I had difficulty hearing the sound. "It's for your own good, Ari. You don't need trouble making girls around you." I dropped my head not to reveal the tears that began to fall. I breathed in and started to cough heavily....how is that even possible I'm not near any animals. My brother tried to help but I pushed him away from me and stated: "From grey to black. Rose to dark red." next word I heard was Masaomi say "What?" I just walked away towards the stairs. I stepped up half a level and sat down leaning against the railing, waiting for my friend. Hearing my brother leave, I soon went downstairs again to wait for her. Not long after she exited the office with a sparkling smile and few papers. "So to our next class..." She spoke loudly and I smiled at her behaviour even though I had that familiar itching feeling embrace me. The bell rang, filling the corridors with joyous students."I am in need to use the restroom...go ahead and get your belongings from your previous class." I told her and she smiled and left. I wandered towards the rarely used restroom and entered it. I took out my phone, slipped off the back cover and there was one of my saviours neatly placed, waiting. Holding it I entered the cubicle and locked the door, lifted my shirt only to see bandaged stomach. I Opened my jeans button and pulled the top part downward slightly until skin showed and to relive the itch I took my reliable best friend and slid it across the area marking with the beautiful yet fiery red looking lines appear on my pale skin. I sighed in relief at the calming feeling that washed over me causing me to smile a minute from the bliss I felt. It was the lowest area where any scar will lay on my abdomen. I shut my eyes for a second to enjoy the feeling but I had to attend the class so the enjoyment was short lived. I buttoned up my pants exited the cubicle and walked to washbasins to wash my friend and my hands. As I tried both of them I wrapped my friend in its original little protective paper and put it back where it belonged, Exiting the bathroom I walked up the stairs winching a little every time the pants scraped against my new scars. I reached the class and saw Bambi sitting there already as I sat down at my usual desk she moved next to me. "I think I mixed up the bags when choosing my seat. I was so sure you had a brown one and not a black bag. Silly me." She beamed next to me now. "What lessons you attend with me?" I asked her quietly, not trusting my own voice. "Well I got English, Math, Chemistry, Biology and Japanese on advanced and others are normal. So basically every day of the week we have at least one lesson together exception on Mondays and Wednesdays where we have four of them together." I gave her a little smile. "Using me for brains tonight, Miss advanced class student?" I told creating a wave of her laughter. "Well still the other subjects remain." She said after calming down a little, the bell was heard around the school and remaining students who sat outside entered the class with the teacher following them.
