When the last bell sounded Aeryn practically sprited out of the music science class, this however was a mistake as she felt very dizzy. Shoving her earphones in to her ears she left for home. A message notification made her phone hum in her jacket pocket, the message was to the group chat. "Anyone up for meeting later ?- Hannah." While reading the message Aeryn wasn't looking were she was going and accidently walked in to someone, "I'm really so- oh shit". Infront of her stood Mai Sung, staring down at her, snarling."You fat slut" Mai spat. Before she knew it Mai's fist connected with Aeryn's face, as it did Aeryn felt the skin split and bruise, a warm trickle of blood meandered down her cheek. Rather than fight she decided to just take the beating.

When Mai had walked away triumphant, Aeryn began to haul herself from the floor. Deciding to forget the throbbing pain that enveloped her whole body she made her was back to her house, about an hour away from the high school. Every couple of minutes Aeryn would open the front camera on her phone check if the open wound on the side of her face had magically healed and each time she was disappointed. For the first time in what felt like ages she glanced at the time. 4:47pm. Her mum came hime from work at 6 and she just prayed she would get hime and sorted before she did.

Panting violently as she came round the corner, she started to slow realising her mum's car was not yet parked in the drive.She cut across the garden and went straight to the door, fumbling around in her bag for her house key. After successfully finding it she forced it into the lock and flew through the door. Immediately she went upstairs to get changed to assess the damge. She concluded the gash creeping across her cheekbone would need to be glued, but she couldn't go to the hospital because they would ring her mum. She would have to do this herself.

She had found some superglue at the back of the draw in the study, as she reached for it she prayed it was sealed. "Thank god." she murmured to her self in relief. She tried to make her skin numb by icing it which to her surprise kind of worked. Aeryn sharply intook her breath as she forced the two sides if the wound together. It was over sooner than she had expected. She covered the brusies and marks with make up, put on a large hoodie to hide the bruised that paraded up her arms and wrote a note for her mum.

~ Mum. I've already been home. Gone to meet the girls. Text me if you need me. Don't wait up.~

And with that she left. Through the back, over the fence and through the feild that boardered her house. That was the quickest way to Hannah's. When she reached Hannah's house she knocked and heard a muffeled voice that sounded something like "Come in Aeryn, they are all upstairs." Before kicking off her shoes and spriting up the stairs she bowed to Hannah's parents. As soon as she stepped foot in the bedroom they all noticed the marks that plastered her and she was bombarded with questions.

Hannah -"Hey how- what the hell happened to you?"
Aeryn -"It's a long story"
Holly -"We've got time"
Millie -"Yeah, spit it out."

Settling herself on a pile of cushions she began to explain. As the story progressed she could see the girls getting more fustrated, and went Aeryn told them what Mai had called her they were like a gorillas that had been told that bannans no longer exsited. Before anyone could speak a message made her phone light up. This time from her mum. "You are home alone for 2weeks from saturday. Business trip. - Love Mum." A woman of few words since her sister and dad died. Her mum leaving town meant she was going to be alone something she found slightly terrifying. Time ticked on and the girls were plotting what they were going to do about Mai. By the time Aeryn was leaving, Millie and Holly were long gone.

*TIME SKIP*

Flinging herself over the gate she landed like a cat, being careful not to wake her mum. Creeping through the kitchen she could her the TV playing some odd korean counseling show. While passing she glanced at her mum, sprawled across the couch, an empty wine bottle and half eaten bowl of ramen placed on the floor underneath her. Not bothering to eat anything Aeryn trailed upstairs and passed out on the bed. She again dreamt of Kim Namjoon, but this time of his clenched bloody fist.
