Blin sighed relieved Jimin hadn't bothered her since the time she had saw him rummaging through the teacher's papers.
She walked towards the lunchroom and waited for RapMonster. She tapped her fingers impatiently.
She sighed and waited for another five minutes. She was about to give up and leave but then she saw him walk through the hallway.
"Rapmonster.!" She yelled after him.
He turned around to face her.
"You weren't thinking about skipping were you? We really have to study." Blin pleaded.
Rapmonster rolled his eyes uninterested as always. "Look, Blin. Thanks for your concern but I'm just fine. Sorry you might get kicked out or whatever. But this is a huge waste of time."
Blin's face fell. "Rapmonster PLEASE! I don't know what else to do?!! I have to stay here! Let me help you!" She said frustrated.
Rapmonster pulled his hood over his head and turned around towards the door.
"Where are you going?!" She yelled at him. She jogged up beside him as he exited the school.
"To get something to eat." He replied placing earbuds in his ears.
"I'm coming with you." Blin said, her hands planted on her hips.
Rapmonster stopped walking and turned towards her. "Why?!"
"Because." She said standing on her tippy toes to not seem so short infront of him. "I can teach you at least something while you eat."
Rapmoster shook his head in frustration and kept walking.

Rapmoster finished ordering from Shake Shack and glared at Blin sitting across from him.
"Okay..." She said opening up her books to begin.
She looked up at Rapminister and snatched the earplugs out of his ears as usual. "Listen to me." She commanded him.
The waitress came by and placed her chocolate Oreo shake infront of her.
She took a sip then looked at Rapmonster. "Have you completed all of your homework?"
Rapmonster nodded.
"Let me see." Blin said. She handed him a piece of paper with a problem on it. "What's the answer to that, since you already did it?".
"Fourteen." Rapmonster grumbled. It was true. He did do the homework. He always did the homework, it was easy. But he never turned it in. Same for the test, quizes, and papers.
Blin nodded. "so you did do it. I'm really proud." Blin smiled at him which caught Rapmoster off guard. He swallowed and looked down at the table quickly.
He had never heard those words, not even once in his life before. Except, once. But that didn't count. He thought back to when he was twelve years old. It was his brithday, he had gotten a perfect report card, and Juliard had just got finished requesting for him. His dream school. He was a prodigy, but of course, his dad refused the offer.
"You will go to the college I went to when I was a teenager, and you will carry on my business, and then, I'll be proud of you." Dad said as he wiped away my tears.
Blin waved her hand in his face. "You still there?" She asked playfully.
Rapmonster returned to reality. "thank you." He said sincerely.
"For?" Blin asked confused.
"You're... Proud of me." He said softly, finding it sounding weird when he said it out loud.
Blin smiled. "I am. I didn't expect you to do your homework. And you think all of your answers are correct?"
"I know they are correct." Rapmoster replied as the waitress set his hamburger and fries on the table.
"Amazing! It's due in two days. You're going to turn it in right? We could be making great progress!" Blin said excited.
Rapmonster shook his head. "I don't turn it in." Crushing Blin's happiness.
"Why?! You did the work! You have to get the credit!"
Rapmonster picked up his burger. "Just because." He lied biting into it. Having his GPA drop so low was excruciating.
Blin raked her hand through her hair she forgot to pull into a ponytail.
She quickly grabbed the ponytail off her wirst and tied her hair back. After taking more sips of her milkshake that was now runny she frowned at Rapmonster.
"What will it hurt to just turn in some homework huh?"
Rapmoster shook his head. "We aren't going to talk about this Blin.".
Blin scoffed out of frustration. "Then what are we going to talk about Rapmonster?! You're being selfish! Your cheating yourself, your parents, and me! I'm trying to work hard for you, and your parents pay all this money for you to be here, and you work so hard. So WHY can't you just turn in your freaking homework?!" She yelled at him.
Rapmonster ate a fry then looked at her. "Your lucky I didn't snap your neck. Don't talk about my parents like you know me. Do your job, if I refuse, just quit." He said in a low voice.
Blin swallowed. No matter how hard she wanted this, she had to take it step by step. Rapmonster was intiminating and she didn't want to make him upset.
She stared at him eat his food. "I will not quit. You are just going to have to learn how to co-operate." She said walking away proud of herself.
She walked back into the school frustrated but happy she had a couple minutes to herself. She leaned against the wall waiting for the students to finish up class as she texted Casmine telling her about Christian and V. She forced herself to stop smiling and for her cheeks' color to die down.
She saw Jimin walking up to her. His eyes were wet and his his fist were balled. He was obviously upset.
"What's the ma-" she began before she felt a sharp impact on her jaw causing tears to rise in her eyes. She stood there in shock. She didn't see Jimin's arm move but she just saw it twitch then her vision went haywire as she heard him scoff then she felt another blow to her stomach.
Why? Her mind pleaded. She saw the light distort and turn making her dizzy. She realized she was coughing uncontrollably and she found it hard to breath.
She heard Jimin tell her to get up, but she couldnt. She supressed the shake from coming out of her mouth into the floor. Don't throw up.
She felt strong hands grab at her collar and pull her upwards. She was about to scream at him but she noticed he was crying. She didn't feel a drop of sympathy.
"Why are you crying?" She stared him in the eyes as an attempt at defiance. But it obviously failed. Because he drove his fist into her eye.
An overwhelming amount of pain came over her as she blacked out.

She woke up, in an unfamiliar bed. She tried to open her eyes but her left eye wouldn't budge. Oh. She instantly remembered Jimin hitting her.
