"No..no..no" I had mumbled to myself which turns into screams of panic as my dad is getting beat right in front of me and I'm being held back. I keep crying out but trying to get free from this strong grip but I am unable to. I saw his mouth moving like he was trying to say something to me but I didnt care about that. Instead I wanted to save him. All of a sudden the grip vanished and I stumbled towards my dad but then my eyes opened and I sat up.
I heard a beeping sound, the sound of a alarm clock. I now knew it was a dream but I had actually cried during it. I sigh to myself and stop the alarm by pressing on it and sitting up in my bed. "I have school today don't I?" I thought to myself. I never had fit into school, I was always shy and I didn't bother to actually do the work I was told to do. What was the point? I had always told myself.
I stood up and walked over to to my wardrobe where I got out my sweatshirt and pulled it over my head. The sweatshirt was grey, one of my favorite colors. I had then put on my ripped jeans that were a pale blue. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw the scar on my face from years ago.
As I countinued to look in the mirror at myself I could hear screams and cries. They kept getting louder as I started to hug my arms and dig my fingers deeo into them. I flinch at the sudden pain from digging into my skin and the sounds go away. I felt relieved and I pulled my hoodie up and went downstairs.
Downstairs in the kitchen
I walked downstairs to see my sister eating at the table. She was eating pancakes and bacon, one of the few things my mom could cook. She also had a glass of orange juice right by her and a fork in her hand. She looks at me and then faces my mom who was sitting next to her but on her phone. She had said, "Momm niko is awake". After she said that my mom quickly faces me. "Niko the bus will be here soon to take you and your sister to school. Make sure you keep her safe or your going to get it", my mother had said.
I only nodded to what she said and I leaned against the wall. I knew my mom didnt make breakfast for me, but I didn't mind anymore. Im not much of a breakfast guy in the first place. But I didn't have much time to think because my sister had finished her food and got up and walked to the front door which my mom and I followed. My mom handed my sister her backpack while I just picked mine up. Then my mom gave my sister words of encouragment like always. But I didn't think she needed it after all shes always full of herself. After this we walked to the bus station together where the bus pulls up in front of us.
I looked at my sister, her white hair, pale skin, grey eyes with that spark. I knew she would be one of the popular ones again. Unlike me, black hair, grey eyes with eyebags and scars on the face. I had a feeling this would be 'a great year'. As my sister walked up onto the bus I followed.
