Chapter 3
I could hear how Kai started to become frustrated with a heavy sigh, I know he look at me like a little sister and don't like it when I'm in pain.
Kai - "Honey, I can give you the money you will be missing out off today but you can't go to work with your shoulder! And please let me come and pick you up now, you can not be walking around with your shoulder like that for so long!" I could hear that it was more like a order then anything! I know Kai care for me but I can't handle the beating that I will receive if I take time off school, because Victor have friends in high places and the principal will not hesitate to call him if I do not show up at school.
I was silent for a bit before I answered: "Kai, please I have to go to school, but I will call Karen to say I need time off work! You can pick me up at school parking lot right after school is over I promise you!" I said with pleading in my voice. And now it was Kai's time to be silent for a little.
Kai - "You promise you will let me pick you up as soon as school is over and that you will take time off work today?"
Me - "Yes, cross my heart Kai!"
I heard another deep sigh from Kai and it was silent again before he said:
Kai - "Okay I will stand by the parking lot and wait for you when school is over, and I will take care of your shoulder, but you better promise me you keep your shoulder as still as possible! I don't want it to become more injured than it already is!" he said with a stern voice.
Me - "I promise big bro, and I can't wait to spend some time with you today! I have to go, i'm getting close to school and have to give Karen a heads up that I need time off today" I said with a small smile on my face.
Kai - "Okay baby girl, I can't wait to be with you, see you later, and you know that I love you my ray of sunshine!"
Me - "See you later dear, and I love you too"
I hung up the call and then I called Karen who is the boss of the 'Molly's Dinner' they named it after their daughter Molly who died in a car accident 10 years ago.
Karen - "Hey Honey, how are you doing this morning?" She always have that sweet loving grandma vibe to her.
Me - "Hello Karen, I'm doing okay, but I'm sorry I have to miss work today, I fell down the stairs at home yesterday and got my shoulder dislocated so I need to take it easy for today at least." I said with a bit of 'I'm sorry' in my voice.
Karen - "Oh dear, are you okay? But of course you need to take it easy for a few days!" I could hear how sad she was on my behalf, and I hate pity even though I know it's she is meaning it out of love.
Me - "Karen I can't afford to take off more then today! So I will be back at work tomorrow!" I started to panic because I need the money to buy food and drugs for my so called parents!
Karen - "Honey, I will give you paid time off! You have always been helping more than we pay you so please take a few days off, get better and take care of yourself, do not worry your job will be waiting for you till you get better honey!" she almost ordered me.
Me- "Okay, but only if you are sure Karen?"
Karen - "Yes, I am, and you deserve to have some time to be just be a teenager" She said with a little chuckle.
Me - "Haha, okay Karen, thank you so much, I will take a few days off then! I hope you have a great day! Bye Karen." I said with some laughter in my voice.
Karen - "Bye Honey"
We hung up right before I entered school ground and I made my way through the school door and towards my locker to get my books for the first periods before lunch break. When I'm at school I always try to make myself as invincible at school, here I have no friends. I have given up on trying to make friends here because I only get verbal assault in return.
As school day goes on I feel the pain in my shoulder and it end up with my breath being very shallow and I'm in a cold sweat. I make my way to my locker to put the books in from the first few periods and get my books for my english, math and biochemistry. When I'm standing with my head in my locker I could hear some heels clacking on the floor and that can only mean one thing. The school diva is approaching. I pull my head out of my locker just in time before she slam it closed.
"hahaha, oh poor Betty that was almost you head, you can't be falling a sleep in your locker honey you know that!" Scarlett said with her annoying fake cheery voice that's makes my ears bleed every time. I just decided to walk away and ignore her, but man that was the wrong choice because she pulled my injured shoulder and I whimpered in pain. "Oh, bitch I didn't pull that hard, but guess that just show how weak you are your stupid slut, I'm just trying to be friends" she yelled in her squeaky voice. I tried to pull my injured arm away from her manicure claws while answering "Oh I'm sorry you highness, but we both know I'm a lost case so I'm sure your help would be better used elsewhere, where it is appreciated!" I said it with as sweet voice as I could, wish a smile on my face.
Then I turned around and pulled my arms out of her clutches while walking away, I could feel how her nails dug into my skin and blood started to ooze out from the wound. I heard Scarlett squeak before her heel clacked away. I breathed out, and hold my injured arm with my healthy one. And made my way to the next period since I just really need to sit down. I got into the classroom and sat down at the back row still holding my arm. It hurt like a motherfucker and all I could think about now was to get this shoulder set straight and relax for the rest of the day with my friends.
