Emmarly goes to the same academy as I do?

I flop onto my bed after I place my bag on the ground

My IQ is 8 points higher than hers, so no wonder shes only a few steps behind me. Not to mention, easy access to the files in the head office of the academy. My uncles knife -or dare I say it- my knife, can slide easily under the window, and I checked every students record, taking a photo of each and printing them off.
I couldnt stop thinking of Emmarly's dumb face. Her stupid blonde hair when she jumped rooftops to catch me... it was idiotic and pathetic of her. Charming in a bittersweet sense, she was... no shes dense and always behind. I'll admit to it though, attractive in a sense of the rush and chase.

I step up from my bed and take the printed papers from the printer as I delete the files from my phone. I slip the paper files of my classmates and other students into the binder and dropped it onto my desk.

I take a twinkie from the mini fridge and walk out of my bedroom, puzzled. I know how to deal with scientific anomalies, stealing formations, health issues... but how do I deal with my own feelings? What do I do now that we'll be spending more time together as pedestrians?
I cant wrap my head around this-

"Oof-" I blurt as I bump into my "adopted" father, Reese.

"Hey kiddo, something on your mind? You're eating cold twinkies again, you only do that when contemplating something you cant comprehend."

"Yeah, it's extremely confusing, even for me dad. Can I talk to you about it?" My dad is always there for me, he was the one who rescued me, gave me a home, helped me be me. I love Reese, I'm grateful he's my father.

"Of course Percy 12. Is there any place you wanna go to talk about it? Maybe over sushi and noodles?"

"Yes. Definetly. 100%." I say eagerly as Reese let's out a highly chuckle and pats me on the shoulder. My adopted mother Tiffany wants to go as well, but dad stops her.

"Yeah mom, we just need some time by ourselves. I hope you understand."

"I either come with you now," she grabs dads wrist and stares Into his eyes, insane. "Or the boy gets it when you both return."

"I'm not gonna let you touch him again. I'm sure theres another man who'd love you more than I do if you were to leave, you psychopath. Come on Percy 12, let's go." He pushed Tiffany away as we ran out of the house in fear.

I stop and collapse on the ground and the horrible memories of what Tiffany has done to me and dad come back to haunt me. Dad calls out my name but his voice is fuzzy and I start to remember things I prayed to forget.

"Percy 12? Percy 12?! Perce?! I know you're trying to forget what she did and so am I. We'll get through this together, okay Percy 12?" I heard my dad worry on as I clutched my body and curled into a ball in my dad's arms. I cried and cried until I couldnt breathe, my father holding me and comforting me until I've selted down and could breathe again. He helps me up and let's me use him as a crutch for half a mile until we got close enough to walk beside eachother.

We step into Mirashi: Ramen & Sushi. We step in and feel the warm glow of the blue and yellow lights and lanterns. This was my second home, my place to work or rest, to make friends or make enemies. But now, I wanted to eat and rest with my father, and to forget that Tiffany exists for as long as possible.
