~ (y/n)'s POV ~

The next morning when I woke up, I instantly felt pain run through my body as I tried to sit up. I ended up laying back down in the position I was once in. I drowsily looked around the room, being careful to not strain my neck and I saw that I wasn't in my bedroom either.

This unfamiliar environment startled me, causing my to jolt up which unfortunately for me, sent an unbelievable amount of pain coursing through my body. I curled up into a ball on the floor, clenching my eyes shut. Suddenly, the door slammed open and I looked up to see my father with his cold stare.

"Finally, you're up." He blandly stated.

I gripped my knees as he made his way closer, "You were out for a long time after our little talk..." he hinted, bringing back all of my recollections of yesterday's meeting, "It's the next morning, you really are weak you ungrateful shit." He sneered.

His words shouldn't affect me like this, but words can hurt, especially coming from my dad. He walked over to me and picked me up be the collar of my shirt, getting me to stand on my feet. I struggled to stay standing, but managed. I looked around the room and soon recognized it as the training room. As I looked around there were small patches and splatters of blood all over the floor and there was even some on the walls.

"Now, go to school brat." He demanded before pushing me out of the room.

I stumbled to catch my balance and looked back to my father only to see that he had slid the door closed, leaving me to walk up the stairs and get ready for the day.

Once I had brushed my teeth, and 'Yumi had pulled my hair back into a ponytail, making sure not to scrape the wound at the back of my head. I thanked her and made my way back to my room and through and picked out an outfit that consisted of a pair of leggings and a tank top. Today was really warm and I was not about to wear another sweater!

I carefully made my way back down the stairs, being gentle so that I wouldn't aggravate my wounds even more that I already had. Once I made it to the bottom of the staircase, Shoto was waiting for me, holding both of our computers in his hand so I didn't have to put more strain on my arms than I needed to.

"You ready for school?" He asked, struggling to keep both of the computers from falling out of his arms.

"Yeah, thanks by the way!" I gushed, forcing my best 'I'm totally not in pain right now' smile and continued to walk over to the dining room where we did our schoolwork.

We sat down across from Natsuo and Fuyumi who were already hard at work on...well, I don't really know what they were working on to be honest. All I knew is that they complained about 'finding the x' and all that. They did that quite frequently which made me worried for sixth grade.

I opened up my computer and went to my class and started working on math since I hated that subject the most and wanted to be done with it. After about two hours of solving painstakingly hard problems, I switched subjects so that my brain wouldn't combust from thinking about stupid math problems too hard.

I looked over to see that Shoto was already half way done with his spelling class which left me in shock. I knew that my brother was smart, but holy shit! I was just starting on spelling and it's only been two hours since school started!

I tried not to compare myself to my brother as I started my spelling class which was a bit more easy for me than math. Although it's safe to say that even though I'm better at spelling than I am at math, I'm still a shit speller which tells you how amazing I am at math.

I sighed and pushed through the rest of the hour learning how to use different techniques to spell different words. The rhymes they use help the word stick to my memory better, and plus it makes it a little more fun and bearable in the process, so I find this class a little fun!
