Disdain, Part-1
It's 7'o clock in the morning.
The alarm buzzes ⏰ , cutting through the silence of the room.
Keith groans and buries his face deeper into the pillow to drown the relentless beeping of the alarm. He hates mondays and mornings. 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯𝘵?
It's not just the alarm he wants to escape, though. It's everything waiting on the other side of his bed covers- the college, the lectures, the assignments, his dad and the endless questions about what he wanted to do with his life.
Mrs. Amelia Anderson
Kai!!
Mrs. Amelia Anderson
Get up!
Mrs. Amelia Anderson
You're going to be late!
His mom's voice rings out from down the hall, sharper than the alarm. Keith sighs and squeezes his eyes tighter and mumbles.
Keith
Just five minutes more, mum...
A few minutes later, he hears footsteps coming down the hall. His sister pushes open his room's door, rolling her eyes as she marches over to his bed.
Kaya
You know mom's about to come up here herself, right?
Keith hides inside the blanket, whining.
Keith
Five more minutes... please...
Kaya
What are you? A five-year-old kid?
Keith
Go away...let me sleep...
Kaya sighs and says softly, inching closer towards his bed.
His eyes snap open. Any remnants of sleep vanish instantly. He throws the blanket off and stumbles out of bed, heart pounding. His father’s voice downstairs sounds faint, but it’s enough to make him move quickly, as if his very presence could set him off.
As Kaya waits for her twin brother by the door patiently. Keith finishes dressing and heads out of the room. She looks at him with concern in her eyes.
Keith
What're you sorry for, silly? It's not your fault if I'm-
Kaya interrupts him before he can finish demeaning himself. Her tone firm, but gentle
Kaya
It's not your fault, you know that right?
Keith slows down his pace, his face darkening as he looks down, his eyes clouded with frustration and exhaustion.
Keith
I don't know...it just feels like it sometimes...
Keith
Like everything's always a mess...and dad-
Kaya
You're not the one with the problem— he is.
Keith
Do I not disgust you?
Kaya looks at him in disbelief, her expression softening.
Kaya
For being who you are?
Kaya
Kai... you're not broken, you're okay.
Kaya
And that's all that matters. Don't let What dad says get to your head.
Keith's shoulders relax a little, though a faint sadness lingers in his eyes as he looks away, his voice soft and hesitant.
Keith
I might not have survived all of this if not for you being there for me every time...
Kaya
You're welcome but...
Kaya
I can't save you and me if we're any later than we already are for breakfast.
Keith looks at his watch and hurries to the hall following his sister quietly.
