The Avengers

Chapter 2 Part 2

Shannon POV : The school day was extremely long, but I only had on more class FINALLY. I had to teach today because Mr. Foster had a meeting.

She Teaches the Introduction of Physics

"Okay class remember to fill out the About Me sheet for Homework". I let them out a couple minute early. As I clean up the lab I was supposed to do I hear Mr Foster come in. "Are you serious you didn't get the lab done. Why did I even hire you". "Please fire me so I can just leave for college then". He grabs my wrist and neck , hard. "I don't care what you said this summer you're not going to college you're staying here. Don't you dare forget our deal , I'll expose you if you tell anyone .. your parents , friends , anyone". With that I held in everything. As he left the room and slammed the door I loose part of my strength as I start to cry. I heard the door open but didn't have the courage to turn around. I put my lab coat on hoping they don't see any of the bruises from past "interactions" , but that failed. "H-hey are you okay what happened" I Mr Rodgers as he lightly rubs the bruise on my arm. "Did Mr. Foster" I told him he didn't but I'm pretty sure he got the idea. I told him we should meet up another day but he wasn't buying it. "No I am going to take you out ... w-well I mean ... No I will take you out and we'll have a great time and forget all of this" he said but I tried telling him how my parents probably won't allow this. He didn't hesitate he walked me home and convince my parents to let us go ... well sort of. We make it to some Park. He had me close my eyes and brought me somewhere.When I opened my eyes I saw a long entrance to a restaurant , it was decorated with fairy lights and greenery. "It's ... beautiful" I say as I soak in how beautiful it really is. He then brought me to our table overlooking an amazing view of the sea. "So Ms Carter ... Um tell me about yourself ... if you want or yo..." He says in a nervous voice I just smile at him. "Well I'm Steven Grant Rodgers, I am 16 and I play baseball" Oooo baseball sounds fun ... I said things like name and age but I also mentioned how I've been isolated by my parents and how my parents a very strict and the friends I once had stopped talking to me because of my restrictions. He was weirdly supportive unlike many people ... He then threw in a question that made tonight tough ... "Now I'm sorry for bringing this up but do you want to talk about what happened" I told him how I can't tell my parents so how could I tell him. This hurt too much so I ran out of there trying to find somewhere I could be alone. I was thankful to have found this dock with a calming view. I knew Steven was walking towards me but I couldn't even look back at him. He tried comfort me but I found myself trying to run off again but he held me so I couldn't leave ... I've never felt this before , what is this feeling. He sat me back down as I cried into him. He gave me a necklace that his brother gave him before he went missing. I still couldn't make eye contact with him but as he put the necklace on and brushed my hair back, I couldn't resist. I tell him it's getting late and he walks me back home.

They make it to her house

My parents opened the door with their classic annoyed faces. My mother brings me inside but Steven asked to speak to my father. I don't know what that was about. But my mother brought me to my room and gave me my pre ap test reviews and left to make dinner. As I heard Steven leave I couldn't help but watch him walk down the street. Just how he acts and holds himself, I-It's just so ... Intriguing. Once I couldn't see him anymore I started to study. As I was studying I heard my parents talking I don't know exactly about what but I knew it was about me. Probably to give me double the work or to never talk to anyone again.

"Shan Dinner's ready please come down .. So how was your outing with S-stavan" "Um it's Steven and why are you asking usually you'd just talk about college. Are you okay are you sick". I say as we all started to laugh. "No honey we're just curious because we've noticed how hard we pushed you, besides I have trust in you that you'd do the right thing out of school" my father says as he starts to dig in.

They eat dinner and get ready for bed

"Goodnight and thank you for letting me out of the house for a little ... maybe I could do it again sometime". "Most definitely sweetheart" my parents say as I go to. bed.
