Watson Family
Keifer's POV
"...Disgusting! You'll pay for this." I whisper while walking. "Keifer... What did I tell you?" Mom said with her signature 'remember- what-i-said' tone. "Don't curse back." I answer innocently. "What else?" "Revenge is not an answer." Mom smile to me but i can't smile back. Yuri Hanamitchi defeated me again. He defeated me in the exam and even in the ï¬ght. I hate him. "Why aren't you still smiling?" He asked. "Mom... I defeated him again. Dad will get mad at me." I said sound disappointed. Well I do really am. Especially when Dad found out about this. She'll think again that her eldest is weak. She says she'll inherit everything she has. I'm only 7 years old but I already feel pressured about everything. I feel like my responsibility in life is already big. "Don't think about your Dad. I'll just talk to him." She answered and smiled. I have no choice but to force a smile. I don't want to but I know Mom won't stop nagging me. We stopped at the gate where Dad's car would pick us up. From the other side of the road I can see her. I see the one who beat me with his blue-eyed friend. His gaze passed me for a moment but then went back to his companion. Dad's car arrived but it looked like he was gone again. I feel a bit relieved, because I know he'll just scold me when he ï¬nds out what happened. After getting in, the car immediately started moving. I saw Aries from the window. He was with his scary older brother. But I didn't care about them. Yuri was still on my mind. How can I get back at him? "Did you lose to Hanamitchi again?" Dad asked. I couldn't answer. I just bowed my head. I'm waiting for my Mom to say something but Dad looked at him ï¬ercely. "I'm asking you question Keifer." He said with authority. "Yes." Dad suddenly dropped the cutlery. It hit his plate and it made a lot of noise for me. I don't like hearing that, especially when it comes from Dad. I'm scared. "H-hon... That's okay. Kids----" "That's the problem!" Dad interrupted Mom. "...Because he's a kid! Because he's a kid! He should learn when he's a kid! He'll take that until he's older!" I want to cry but I can't. Dad will surely get mad again if he saw me crying. I can do nothing but look down. I'm scared of him when he's like that. I looked at Keigan for a moment. He just looked at me and I could see tears welling up in his eyes. Even Keigan can't cry out loud. I looked at the food in front of me. I didn't feel like eating anymore, but Mom's look at me seemed to be saying 'please eat now'. Even though I didn't want to, I was forced to pick up the spoon and start eating. "Next time, make sure you win that Hanamitchi." Dad said. I nodded as a reply. But immediately want to regret that. Especially when I saw how my Mom look at me. Sorry. "Keigan sleep here." Keigan said while pointing out my bed. He was starting to enjoy sleeping in my room. He does that, every time he's scared. "No. Go back to your room." I answer him. "Keigan don't want." Suddenly he jumped up next to me and threw the blanket away. What the heck? "Keigan...." "Keigan sleep." He said and created a snoring sound. He was really naughty! I just let him go. Someone knocked on my room door. I didn't say anything, I know that it was Mom. The door opened and I was right. "How's my boys?" She asked while smiling at me. "Keigan will sleep here." Keigan said with all smiles. Mom kisses his forehead. She's about to do it on me when we heard a banging sound just outside. "SERINA!" It was Dad. Shouting like a crazy man. "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" I know that Mom is scared but she manages to hide it. She looked at me with assurance. "Stay here." He told us. He was about to open the bedroom door but it opened on its own. Dad came in angrily with a paper in his hand. Keigan immediately hugged me. "What is the meaning of this?!" Dad asked angrily while showing up the papers to Mom. "...Are you robbing me?!" "N- no... T-that's my money. I have the right----" Dad suddenly choked Mom. We both trembled in fear and Keigan was shocked. "You have no right?! This is my money, you have no money here!" Dad said angrily . I want to help Mom, but I don't know what to do! My body is shaking and I'm just a kid. "I-I'm hurting K-kaizer." Mom said while struggling. "You're really hurting me!" Dad shouted and suddenly slapped Mom. She kept falling to the floor. All we could do was cry and call out to her . "Enough Kaizer! Not in front of the kids!" Mom pleaded while crying. "I don't care!" He slapped Mom again. "Dad! Enough!" I pleaded. "Kaizer! Enough please!" "Mom!" Dad stopped but gave us a sharp look. He grabbed Mom by the hair. "Do that again and that's not all you'll get from me!" He let go of Mom and immediately left the room. Keigan and I took the opportunity and ran towards her. I hugged him tight. "Mom!" "Sssshhhh... Don't cry. Mom is okay." She said while hugging as back. I feel useless. I didn't do anything for her. We just watched her do that to Mom. It's hunting me. It's a nightmare for me and Keigan. Seeing our Mom hurt by our own Dad. Then we didn't do anything at all. "Keifer!" One of my classmate called me. "...Let's go! Let's play!" I shook my head and looked down. I'm not in the mood to play. I need to think on what I should do when Dad does that again. Suddenly a ball rolls over my foot. "Keifer! It's coming!" Someone shouted. I look up to see who it is. Yuri. It's her again! It's annoying. Did he throw the ball to my side on purpose? Was he really annoyed? I get the ball and play it in my hands. I smile at him and he smiles back. He thought I must have forgotten what he did. "Want to play with us?" he asked. For what? To prove that your great in everything? "Sure." I answer quickly. He looked at his friends for a moment. I grab the moment. With all the force that I can give, I throw the ball straight to his face. Bull eyes! "Yuri!" They shouted. He fell to the ground and his friends immediately came over. "What's your problem?!" The blue eyes asked angrily. "Please." I answered boredly. Yuri stood up, blood dripping from his nose at the same time. "There's blood! Call Ma'am!" Yuri looked at the hand he was wiping for a moment. He looked at me with surprise and anger. "What's your problem?" He asked me calmly. "Nothing. I just hate your face." I answer. "You're a bad boy! We'll report you to Ma'am!" The blue-eyed boy shouted again while pointing at me. "Tss... You're going to report him." "Oh! You----" the blue-eyed boy was about to approach me but Yuri blocked him. "Let him go Percy... You won't gain anything by hitting him." He said calmly. I felt even more annoy ed. What did he want to say? Arrogance! His gaze shifted to me. He didn't react. He was so relaxed even though his nose was bleeding. My ï¬st clenched. How can he do that? Being calm in the middle of this situation. Something inside me got more mad to him. My body automatically moved and ran toward him. I punched his face and he fell out of the floor again. "You're a loser!" The blue-eyed boy shouted and suddenly he rushed at me. Why is this guy interfering?! Before he could even hurt me, I got ahead of him. But as he fell, a ï¬st hit me in the face. Yuri! I couldn't hold it back anymore. I retaliated and we started to ï¬ght. Even our other classmates joined in. While we were in the middle of the ï¬ght, I was surprised when a kid threw himself at me. "Ouch!" he shouted. Aries? I'm not sure what happened but I didn't know that Aries was joining the ï¬ght. He also stood up on his own and started punching me. I turned back to Yuri. It was up to me where our punches landed. All that mattered to me was that I could get revenge! This time, I gave all my strength to punch him. I didn't fail because he had a hard time standing up after that. I won?! I won! WIN---- "MARK KEIFER WATSON! TO THE GUIDANCE OFFICE! NOW !" FUCK!
