TW!! There are dark themes in this story so please remain cautious


When I was a little girl, life was as simple as
1, 2, 3. That is what I was learning, too. I easily grasped the hardness of counting. Addition and subtraction were next, but although their equations were difficult at first, I carried on without fail.
Then, Multiplication came along. It took me a long while to completely understand that. I still don't get division, though, which, in my opinion, is okay. I am only in grade three after all. Clearly, other students didn't feel the same way as I did, though.

Adam especially thought that it was funny that I still don't Know it. He was always such a jerk to me. This was just icing on the top of the cake.
“Look! It's Amy! The girl who still doesn't know division!”

Everyone would stare and laugh. Third graders don't get the idea of bullying. They just thought that Adam was funny. That was their Thoughts.
Of course mom and dad have no clue about Adam. I hope they don't find out. They'll probably punish me for not even knowing division. Dad was never too kind when it came to me and my brother's grades. Although, Aiden got in all the trouble with that. I got all the warnings while he got all the spankings

Mom makes me leave the room, but I hear it. I know dad is hurting him because I hear it. Aiden later runs up to his room and slams the door. He never wants to play with me after that. He never wants to...
