A Child's Secret

My eyes fluttered open to the early morning sunrise. The lights peaking through the lace of my yellow curtains. I sat up and glanced at my digital clock that was sitting on the nightstand near the bed. 8:12am.

Time to get ready!

I swung my feet over the bed and gathered some clothes (in media) and undergarments and strode into the bathroom to take a quick shower and brush my teeth and hair.

Once i was done i threw my hair up into a neat high ponytail leaving my bangs out. I then made my way into the kitchen and threw some fruits into the blender like strawberries, bananas and kiwis with some milk and vanilla ice cream then turned it on.

While that was doing its job i grabbed an avacado pear from the fruit basket on the island counter, and some toast . I put the toast in the toaster for a few minutes then took it out and placed it on a plate. I grabbed the avacaado, cut it in half, took the seeds out and began to spread it on the bread.

I left that and stopped the blender then poured it in a cup and placed the blender in the sink. I walked back over to my toast and seasoned it with black pepper, lemon pepper and salt then grabbed my breakfast and put it on the dinner table and walked back into the kitchen to clean my mess. (Someone try this recipe. It tastes good probably. I don't like avocados so i don't know)

Once i was done i quickly ate it then put on my blue and white jacket i got from the school yesterday and grabbed my keys and phone and left my house locking the door behind me.

~At Magnolia High ~
I walk into the teacher's locker room and placed my things inside my locker but grabbed my water bottle. Once i was done i left the locker room and started walking to the gym. My first class is with the 7th graders.

I sat on one of the bleachers and sipped on my water.
'BLIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGG!!!'

I rest my water on the bench and walked in the middle of the field. The 7th graders piled in and i began my class

~Timeskip after class~
"Your all dismissed. See you guys Wednesday!" i waved at them.

"Bye Ms.H!" They waved back while leaving. While they were walking i noticed the same white haired boy with onyx eyes slightly limping. His name was Suna (Natsu + Lisanna ) Strauss. He must've took his mother's last name.

"SUNA!!" I yell. He looked back at me with a worried expression but quickly changed it to an uninterested one. Definitely got that from his dad.

"Yes ma'am?" he asked limping over to me. I pouted.

"Don't call me ma'am. It makes it sound like i'm old. I'm only 19 you know" He chuckled showing his abnormally sharp canines. Guess he got that from his dad too. I need to stop thinking about that. I giggled with him.

"Call me Cece (pro: See See) when the other students aren't around. My actual name is Lucy" he nodded.

"So why did you call me Cece?"

"I noticed you are limping. You aren't getting bullied are you?" His eyes darkened as he shook his head. My eyebrows frowed in worry. He's probably getting abused. I look at his face as he was deep in thought. Under his eye i noticed his skin looked fake. Make up...Poor child

It could get infected like that. I pulled him into a hug. He gasped in surprise before fully breaking down in tears. We sat on the floor, him crying his little 11 year heart out and me just embracing him like a loving mother.

I don't care if his mother killed my unborn daughter 2 years ago and i don't care that his father don't give two shits about me. All i care about right now is helping this child. You shouldn't hold a grudge on an innocent child for the sins that his parents committed.

Once he calmed down we pulled away and i looked at his face wiping his tears.
The black eye was more visible. I touched it out of pure curiosity but he flinched. I looked into his onyx eyes.

"I am getting bullied....and...and...my m-mother is abusing me. She h-hates me. She said the o-only reason i-i was e-ever born w-was to m-make my d-dad stay w-with her cause he d-didnt love her a-and i cant tell my dad about it. Please don't tell anyone!" he cried harder.

I pet his head gently and kissed his forehead.
"Its going to be okay Suna. Whenever you wanna get away from your family you can call or text me or you can come to this address." i gave him all that information.

"Now come on lets get you to the nurse." i helped him up and helped him walk out of the gym heading towards the infirmary. What a perfect time to have a free period. And what a sad secret a child had to carry alone.
