⏳ Six Years Ago (The Flashback):
"Amy Voldek Duke" Get back here at this moment. (mother yells)
Yes mom? "I said."
Where were you? "She asked."
I was at school, mom. "I answered."
No, you weren't. "She fired back."
Justin's mom said you were fighting with Justin again.
Mom, he was the one who started it. *I mumbled in anger*
It's okay my dear.
" My mom pulled me in for a hug and her warmth comforted me. "
Then my mother plays a video for me to watch.
The moment she played it I was shocked to see me and Justin arguing.
The video was shot, capturing the moment he yelled at me.
Hindi kita mahal. Bakit hindi mo talaga maintindihan? Hindi kita mahal, Diyos ko! Puta ka, Amy. Grabe, kinamumuhian kita, Amy. (I don't love you. Why can't you really understand? I don't love you, my God! You're a bitch, Amy. I fucking hate you Amy.) 😭
When I recaptured those words, it all came back to me. 💔
The pain and the lies. But I am not going to let a boy ruin my future. 🥱
Just because he cannot handle himself. 💋
But the funny thing is, I didn't understand anything he said. 😭🤣
Even my mom asked Sweetheart? "What is he even saying?"
But..... I didn't answer her and I tried to control my laughter.
One thing for sure, I only know "Hindi kita mahal". It means "I don't love you."
(Returns Back To Present) ⏱
Library Day:
I was strolling down the hallway with Kierra until I saw a fight happening in the hallway.
Even before we got there, I already knew who it was.
"And when we got there, I was right. It was Justin fighting with one of the jocks. Lucas. But I was shocked to also see Mendez on top of one of the jocks—Lucas's brother, Tony—choking him."
Meanwhile, Justin was still punching Lucas and everyone was making bets on who would win.
Then the kids started to cheer.
"Let's go, Justin! Let's go!."
"Let's go, Mendez! Let's go!."
Then we heard Justin yell, "Talk about my girl again, you little dipshit, and I will fucking end you."
No one was stopping them. The jocks were bleeding so hard that they begged for mercy for them to stop and let them go.
It was pure chaos, and if no one was going to stop it, then we would.
I glanced at Kierra, and she knew exactly what I was going to do. She nodded at me, and we both rushed over and dragged Justin, and Mendez away from the jocks.
"Get off him!" I yelled.
Justin was still trying to get back to them, still furious, but I held onto him as tight as I could. Kierra was doing the same with his best friend.
Everyone immediately went silent and stared at us.
Until someone came and yelled, "What's going on here, people?" There's still school. Go back to your classrooms now!
The teacher sounded furious, and we ran away. He caught the jocks, but all of us were already in the room and when he came to check because the jocks kept insisting that Justin punched him, but the teacher was Mr. Phill (Lucas & Tony's dad) and he didn't believe his own son. Instead, he slapped him hard.
We were shocked when Mr. Phill's hand was connected to Luca's cheek, and he fell down and Tony tried to help his brother, but his father kicked him away hard.
Justin got up to check on his little brother with tears in his eyes while glaring at Mr. Phill.
But, Mr. Phill didn't care and ordered them to get into the classrooms and get out of his sight immediately.
Until he saw the kids watching what was happening, he immediately changed his attitude and acted like he was worried about them and tried to help Tony up, but he got pushed away by Justin, and he smiled, but we knew it wasn't a real smile. He immediately grabbed Justin's arm and whispered something into his ear and he was boiling mad, but he accepted his help.
The kids started to question his character.
1 Kid - "Isn't that the nicest teacher we used to have in 3rd grade?"
He turned to us and gave us a fake smile.
He immediately pulled out a remote, and pressed a button and the windows immediately became blurry.
