Substitute Teacher

Chpt. Six

When I got home, I was sluggish and in pain. Everytime I took a step, I could feel something popping. I was limping and crying because the pain was so bad.

I prayed that my brothers weren't home. If they saw me like this, everyone would be all over me. I just wanted to be left alone.

I opened the front door silently and looked around before entering. When I shut the door, my younger brother poked his head out the kitchen."Hey sis!" He waved at me with a mouthful of cookies.

"Are you supposed to be eating cookies, Spencer?" I ask sternly."Mom said I could have one."

"And how many do you actually have?"

"...three. Dont tell mom!" He whispered."I couldnt care less." I huffed.

I was careful not to move so he couldnt see me limping. He looked at me weird while munching on his third cookie.

"What happened to your hair? It was curly this morning. Now its all...bleh."

"Um...theres was a lot of wind today." I lied."There was no wi-"

"I said there was wind!" I yelled.

"Fine." He went back in the kitchen and put the cookie jar back into the cabinet above the counter. While he wasnt looking, I slowly walked, silently hissing in pain.

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked again."I'm fine."

"You look pretty beaten up...." Then he gasped."No-"

"Mom! Dad! Daniel! Y/N is hurt! Family meeting!" He yelled. I tried to cover his mouth but I tripped on the foot that hurts and cried.

The three of them came running downstairs and I couldnt escape.

Damn you Spencer.

"What happened?! Whats wrong?! Is she okay?!" Mom shouted.

"I bet it was cause of that damn phone!" Dad shouted.

Mom helped me up and Daniel carried me to the couch. He wiped the tears from my face a noticed a bruise.

"This looks like the result of bullying." He analysed my face.

"Tell us who did it, sis! We got you fam!!" Spencer punched his fist like he was tough.

I couldnt even speak. I was in so much pain and the tears were still flowing.

"I dont even know their names. So it doesn't matter."

"You know what they look like, right-"

Suddenly there was rapid knocking at the door. Dad went to see who it was. When he opened the door, Vonny burst through, huffing and panting.

"I heard someone call family meeting!" She said.

"How-" Spencer began.

"Dont ask." I shook my head. Vonny came and sat next to me, seeing all the bruises.

"What happened to you?!"

"Girls. Girls who like Namjoon and hate that I made him mad. He didnt even say anything when he saw me, just asked why I'm late to class." I confessed to her. She reacher both arms out when she saw tears coming.

I cried on her shoulder and she rubbed my back."Look on the bright side,"

"What?"

"You can eat ice cream." She said."Thats right. Eat as much as you want until you start to feel better. Vonny, you can stay as long as you want. I'll call your grandfather and tell him you'll be staying."
