Rebound

Chapter 14

I called in sick today.

I got tons of reasons why but the fact that I don't have any face to show in school is mostly the reason why.

My parents didn't know anything about it but I told them that I really don't feel good.

My dad's a doctor, he really knows if I'm really sick or not. He thinks that I'm just stressed out and told me to stay in bed and rest.

Hansel entered my room.

"Good Morning baby" He said, smiling.

"Hi" I weakly greeted him.

"Move" He lay beside me.

"When are you going back to the university?"

"Later, this afternoon."

I frowned.

"Don't worry baby, I'll be back for thanksgiving"

"But we didn't get to bond longer"

"That is why I'm glad that you called sick today" He grins.

"Hansel, I'm not feeling good and dad would get mad if he knows I did not rest"

"C'mon, do it for your good looking brother." I rolled my eyes.

"Alright. So what are we gonna do? Don't tell me we're just gonna play video games and eat pizza all day"

He faked a laugh.

"Oh Hansel"

"What? Do you know anything better to do?"

I grinned.

"YES!"

"What?"

"Let's go to a Karaoke bar!"

He grins and nods.

"That's a good idea, go freshen up. I'll wait for you downstairs" He patted my head and then leaves.

JOSHUA'S POV

Lou and I have Biology class together.

the teacher said she was sick, so what am I gonna do now? I burried my face on my desk, the class is too boring.

"Hey, you know the girl Louise?"

I heard someone talking, I looked up.

"Who is that girl?"

"You know the girl who's always sitting at the back."

"What about her?"

So they're gossiping about Louise?

"She asked Andrew to sleep with her!"

"What? What a loser. Andrew would never hit her, I mean like she's too ugly right?"

I'm starting to get irritated.

"Yeah, that's why Andrew embarrassed her in class yesterday."

I'm clenching my fist already, I want to punch them so bad.

"Good for her"

"She deserved it" They both laughed.

That's it. I stood up.

"Hey you two. Don't you have anything to do but gossip about someone? Get a life!" I shout. I just couldn't control it anymore. All of my classmates and even my teacher were looking at me. I get my bag and walked out.
