New Point of View

Chapter 1

How she is able to smile after this is beyond me. I really gotta get this kid some muscle, and the bat. Don't look at me like that, Beta Luz was badass and deserves to be remembered. Plus her style was something I am comfortable in, so I'm gonna use it.

I got called to the principal's office, apparently some of the teachers were worried about me but not worried enough to actually get involved. Funny how that works. Camilla got called in as well, why i don't know. Now we're in the current point in time where I'm being interrogated, *ahem* sorry, asked about my current change.

"Mija, por favor, what happened?" Camilla says with a worried tone. See this is why I like her. She's genuinely worried about Luz's health even if she doesn't go about helping the right way. So, to answer her, I give a soft smile and say in a low, soft voice.

"It's better to show you, mami."

She looks genuinely startled when I do this, which makes me think Luz never showed her vulnerable side. That's something that's going to change.

I take out my phone and show them, in fast forward, everything that's happened today. Camilla had just about burst into tears and the principle started getting very mad. Something I didn't notice before was that the video showed every one of my teachers deliberately turning their backs to what was happening. Some even smiled or snickered.

"Oh, Mija. Lo siento mucho," Camilla says bursting into tears after seeing me get beat up in the girls bathroom. All I can do is rub her back and tell her I'll be ok.

"This will not continue. Luz i am very sorry for everything you've endured. I will make sure every teacher knows what will happen if this blatant disregard for the rules is unpunished again." The principal says with the angries voice I have ever heard. Camilla, at this point, has stopped crying and has gone into protective momma bear mode.

"You're right, it won't continue. My daughter will not be returning next year." She says in a calm way that makes shivers go up my spine. She gives a glare which, i'm sure, if it could kill the principal would be 10 feet under right now. The principal nods and lets me leave early, all things considered it was an ok day.

In the car, the tension was so thick you could cut it with a butter knife. I was just looking out the window with a bored face, which i think might have worried Camilla.

"Mija, why didn't you tell me about this before?" She was gentle in her questioning, which almost made me cry to be completely honest.

"Lo siento, mami. I didn't want to worry you. You already have enough stress from working so much, I didn't want to add to it." I said in a quiet, barely there voice. I hear her sigh quietly and I can already tell she expected something like that.

"Mija, puedes decirme cualquier cosa, lo sabes, ¿verdad?" (You know you can tell me anything. right?)She sounds almost disappointed, in who i have no idea. All I can do is put my head down and nod.

"I just thought i could handle it myself, but everything got so much worse and....i....i just couldn't anymore. Se sentía como si me estuviera rompiendo." (It felt like i was breaking) I felt the car turn off, so i assumed we were back home, that felt weird to say. But the child locks were still on. I was slightly confused, but then I was pulled into a gentle hug and that was it. My cool facade broke, and so did the dam in my eyes. I cried out for everything I hadn't been able to before. In these situations, I knew I'd probably never get to go home again and it wasn't able to completely register until I had the time to think about it. We stayed like this for, I don't even know how long before we got out. There was something else I wanted to talk to her about but for now, I think leaving her to rest would be smarter. God knows she needs it.

"Hey mami?" I say in a normal fashion. I feel a whole lot better now, and I really don't want to keep up my cold facade with her. So I didn't.

"Yes bebe?" I smile at that, it looks like she's feeling a bit better too.

"Why don't you get some rest? It's been a long day and I think we both need it." I started feeling the bruises on my torso a little while ago and I still have a palisman in my hood.

She nods and shoos me upstairs to my room to rest for a while before she orders takeout. I'm glad she didn't mention my clothing choice earlier. I should also start looking up stuff for summer camp too, just so I can find the door. I flop on the bed, after getting the snake out and treating the various wounds I had gathered.

"How did you even get here little guy?" I get an offended look before I realize my mistake. "Sorry girl." And there's the satisfied nod. I sigh, realizing there's no way to talk to her and let her sleep in my pillow, she's gonna need it. I start snooping around, looking at everything and anything because the reality that I'm probably never getting home again set in. I'm not naive, that's how isekai animes usually go so it stands to reason this is the same. I cried about it earlier. Time to suck it up and get ready to possibly die. Oh boy.
