Your POV

A month is up and my stepsisters will be coming to the school.

I start to worry about what I’m going to do when they figure out what I’ve been doing.

Last night they had beaten me a little bit, and this morning while I was trying to run down the stairs they tripped me. They were able to because I stayed up all night worrying what they’ll do if they see me hanging out with 13 hot looking guys they are going to try to do over kill instead of hurting me.

I limp my way to school wincing every step in pain. When I get close enough to the school the guys meet me over half way to the school. They see that I’m limping and they run over to me. I move away from them and they give me a confused look.

“Don’t touch me,” I make myself sound cold becoming the well-known Ice Princess instead of the frightened little girl I know I am, “If I were you I’d just leave me alone.”

I try to walk away from them but Kai grabs my arm.

I look back at them and sigh, “What the hell are you trying to pull here?”

“Look if you don’t want to get hurt or anything I’d stay away from me,” I feel tears run down my face and turn to leave them be.

I didn’t expect them to listen too me about following me since they never do… unless it’s a girl’s bathroom or something.

Still today, they listened to me mostly because they were so confused by the way that I’m acting.

When my steps-sisters show up at school I fear they may have a class with me. For once I have the best of luck and they don’t’ have a class with me. Yet I feel like I have the worse luck in the world.

The day seemed far too quiet without the 13 boys following me around like a group of puppies. It makes me feel even more alone then I have in years because I realized just how alone I have been my whole life. I’ve been pushing people away and never letting anyone close to me.

Today I’m able to stay after school because there’s a track tournament at five.

I slip into the room I use for practice and push myself harder than I have ever in my life. I keep pushing myself until I feel my ankle turn the wrong way causing me to scream out in pain. I didn’t expect anyone to run into the room especially not three guys that I told to leave me alone.

Kris and Tao help me stand up, “Are you ok?”

I give him a look that said are-you-kidding-me.

Chanyeol moved close to me and started to check my ankle, “You shouldn’t be practicing if you had already hurt your ankle earlier today.”

I look away ashamed of my weakness, “Just go away leave me alone.”

Tao, Kris, and Chanyeol turn the lights on so it’s brighter it the room and see some of my bruises from this morning since my practice clothes show my stomach and some of my ribs.

“Hwa Young, what happened to you?” they all ask me at the same time with such loud worried voices.

I look away from them and try to move but when I try to run away, I simply trip over my own feet and fall. I cry out in pain and they run over me. They shout out my name and pull me up, again.

“Please don’t tell anyone I can’t let anyone find out about this. Please keep this a secret.”

I’m not sure when I started to cry but I know when I feel the tears dripping down my face.

They look at me like I had lost my mind but they simply nod and pull me to the nurses office after I change back into my school clothes. When they start to ask questions, I answer simply, and the guys go along with my lies. When they look at me, I smile when the nurse leaves after bandaging, believing that I had fallen down the stairs at school while trying to run to get them snacks.

“We should tell the guys.”

“No, please don’t can we keep all of this a secret between the three of us and I’ll tell you everything. Please just don’t’ tell the rest of them, please don’t.”

“Why shouldn’t we?”

I sigh and pull my best aegyo after a few seconds they cave into my will.

“Fine,” they say at the same time.

I tell them everything about myself. When I finish they agree to keep their mouths shut, but I had to agree not to push the three of them away from me and one by one let the other’s close to me again.
