"I'm home" I called 

"You're normal this time" my brother said

"Do you really think it's possible to be in the same mess in the same day?" I asked as I removed my shoes

"I don't see why not. After all, it's you"

"Even when it was just in the duration of the last class?"

"Again, it's you" 

I just scoffed

"I can't believe you had the nerves to talk about me like that this morning" he said

"What do you mean?" I asked genuinely confused

"What do I mean? Look at yourself, you are the perfect example of someone who has the future of being even worse that a truant. Tell me, how many days have you been to that school? And you've already gotten yourself and your friend in a mess. Tsk, tsk" he said

I was about to talk back but I realized something, he was right

"I know, right? All because of me" I said and went upstairs

A knock came on my door

"Come in" I said, and my brother entered 

"Mom's back" he said

"That's right, I didn't see her when I came back from school. Where did she go?" I asked

My brother signed

"You are so unbelievable. You came back and you didn't even realize that your mom wasn't home? For four hours at that"

"Just answer my question"

"I'm sorry but, that question can on be answered to a filial daughter which you are not even close to being"

"You can get out now" I told him and went back to what I was doing

I looked back up, examining him when he just stopped at the front of the door

"When you twist the knob and pull it to yourself, it will open" I told him

Maybe he forgot how to open a door

Instead of doing what I said, he just turned around to face me

"What? I already told you how to open the door" I asked

"Shannon" he called

"What?"

"Shannon" he called again

"What?" I asked, now a little bit anxious and curious

"Tell me the truth, are you being bullied?" he asked

"Sorry?"

"I thought about it, and I don't think you guys had a food fight or something friendly. And the way Kim was speaking, it didn't look as if it was something she enjoyed or wants to do it again" he said
