Eleven: School and Threats Part 1

Dustin

This last week has been a huge learning curve. This was the week that Bree and Araya started school. When my alarm went off at six in the morning on Monday, I thought it was broken. I felt Mykayla get out of bed and heard the door shut. I was almost back to sleep when I heard a scream that made me sit straight up. I quickly grabbed a pair of sweats and ran out of the room. I swung the door to Bree’s room open to protect her from what or whoever was in there, only to find both girls standing in front of the full-length mirror squealing in excitement at their school uniforms. Mykayla just looks at me and raises one of her eyebrows. I scrub my hands over my face and leave the room. I walked into our walk-in closet and picked out a suit to wear that day at work. I head towards the bathroom for a shower. As I walked by the bed, I noticed the clock and realized that it was only 6:30 am. What the fuck. It’s too damn early to be up. Mykayla and I don’t have to be at the office till nine. Normally we don't even get up till seven. I flop face-first onto the bed. I hear a laugh behind me. I can’t believe she is laughing at me.

“You’re a tad dramatic about the first day of school for the girls. What the hell is with you barging into the room like that.” She asks, laughing.

I heard them scream and thought someone was hurting them.” I mumbled, even if I was still face down on the bed.

She just walks by me, laughing, grabs her clothes, and shuts the door to the bathroom. I hear the shower start, and an idea starts in my head, but I decide against it. My idea would definitely make us late for work. Maybe next time I decide. She comes out of the bathroom, and I haven’t moved.

“You ok beautiful?” I ask with concern evident in my tone.

“Yeah, I just hope everything goes alright. After the fire and the loss of Araya’s dad I had to pull them from their physical school and they have been doing online schooling for the last 2 years. They started getting teased and Araya got bullied at the school.” She explains in a sad tone.

I look at Kaleb, Nate and my parents and see the same anger I am feeling. How can someone tease to bully anyone after they lose a parent? I wrap my arm around her shoulder, and we wave goodbye to my parents. Kaleb and Nate walk with us. Kaleb just recently got his degree in business administration, and Nate is already the VP of foreign relations, so they caught a ride to work with us that day. We get out of the car at the office and take the elevator up. Kaleb and Nate get off on the floor below mine. We continue up and walk to our offices
