A Spark in the Dark//Gene x Reader [SLOW UPDATES]

Fooooooood

Y/N's POV

My alarm clock buzzes me awake. My eyes flutter open and the anger blazes inside me. I barely even got any sleep. Like, 4 four hours.  I stand up and cross Monday off of my calendar, like I always do when I get up.

I comb my hair and hold a hair-tie in my mouth. I form my pony tail and then wrap the tie around it.  I, then, slip on my PDH uniform. I mean, I normally hate uniforms... but I kind of like this one. I don't think I've ever mentioned it before, but the blue and purple really compliment each other.

I tumble down the stairs, ignoring my phone buzzing on my bed. Aaron sits there, munching on some cereal, and Melissa is eating avocado toast. I shrug.

"Does it taste good, Melissa?" I ask.

She smiles and talks with her mouth full, "Mhm! Want a piece?"

I shake my head. "I'm not hungry."

And it's true. I'm not. For weeks upon weeks, I can only make myself eat a sandwich all day. I just... never have an appetite anymore. It's not like I'm purposefully not eating, I just can't.

"Okay." Aaron says with a stern look on his face. "What is the deal? You never eat anything."

"I do too!" I argue. "And I'm fine, okay!?"

He walks over to me, pushes me into the kitchen chair, and pushes the chair in to where I'm right up against the table. He walks over to the stove.

"Aaron, what are you doing?"

He doesn't make eye contact. "Making scrambled eggs."

"Okay... have fun with that... I'm gunna walk to school." I say, waving to him.

"Nu-uh! Stay in your seat, missy! I'm making them for you!" He orders.

I protest. "I'm not hungry!"

"Yes, you are."

"No, I'm not."

"Ya- huh."

"Nu-uh!"

"Yeah!"

"No!"

"Yeah!"

"No! No! No! No!"

"Yes, yes yes!"

Melissa groans, "Just let him get his way and eat, Y/N."

I sigh.
