Teach Me Something New

Chapter 11

The rest of the week went by in a blur, just like the beginning of the week, all I really did was school work and rest.

So when it was finally Sunday, I was excited to finally go back to school - and I'll regret thinking and saying that when I do go back to school.

I woke up to Joy laughing as she showed Joe some video on her phone which made him smile before they both doubled over, clutching their stomachs laughing.

"Morning," I say, raising an eyebrow in a silent question on what they were watching and why they are laughing so hard.

"Morning Shadow, sorry if we woke you, Joy was just showing me a video of animals being weird and funny," Joe explained, before bringing me a cup of coffee as I began sitting up.

"Ahh, okay," I answered before taking the cup from him, giving a nod in thanks.

"What are your plans for the day?" I asked both Joy and Joe, taking a sip of my coffee.

"Well, I'm going to practice for my music performance and do other homework," Joy explained, showing some sheet music that was sitting on the kitchen counter.

"I'm going to go downtown, do some shopping," Joe replied.

I sighed, continuing to take sips from my drink, their plans didn't involve me, I couldn't really go shopping with Joe, I would slow him down. While Joy's plans did involve staying at home, I couldn't help her with any of it, I already caught up with my school work.

"What are you going to do today?" Joy asked, placing both her dishes and Joes into the sink, rinsing them off before turning to face me, leaning on the counter in front of her.

"Probably, just go to my room, since it's been a while and just relax there, having alone time," I answered, I just wanted to sit in my own safe space, where people didn't walk into whenever they wanted something from the lounge, dining room or the kitchen. I just didn't want to keep on being interrupted.

"Well, if you need help getting up the stairs or anything, feel free to ask," Joy said.

"I'll probably need help with my bag and laptop, and stuff," I said, indicating towards everything on my armchair, with the crutches I wouldn't be able to take them upstairs, not unless I wanted to take multiple trips, which isn't going to help with my leg, and would only make it worse and tire me out.

"Just yell out when you need me," Joy said, before collecting all her stuff and headed upstairs, towards her room.

"Well, I better be off, text or call if you need anything," Joe said, getting his keys before holding his fist out for a fist bump before standing at the foot of the stairs, yelling his goodbye to Joy before leaving.

Not long after Joe left, I called for Joy to help me bring all my belongings from the lounge room into my room, which she was more than happy to help with.

When I got comfortable in my room, I grabbed my laptop and its charger and plugged it in at the powerpoint beside my window seat, before plugging my phone's charger into a USB port and left it to charge while I started reading a new book on Wattpad called 'Don't Break My Heart' on my laptop. Wanting to change it up from reading fanfictions while waiting for the ones I've been reading to be updated.

Before I got too far into the story, my phone started ringing. Raising an eyebrow, I picked it up, flipping it around to see that Drew was calling me, I was surprised to see him calling me instead of texting. But I answered anyway, curious.
