voices no one hears

[9 am[naoto's house]]

day 12 of being put on hold no orders from the general lately but every day feels like a waste when I could be using time to solve this thing!

I stare at my laptop from across the table.

"maybe if i just...." i reached for the laptop midway being stopped by a ping from my phone.

Was is the general?! I quickly picked up the phone to see what the message was about.

It wasn't from the general, but from my sister.

sister- hey-

Naoto- what's up you need something.

sister- can you come over I dint feel comfortable talking about this on the phone.

Instantly dont like the feeling of this what was it she wanted to talk about?

Naoto- ok sure I'll be there in a sec.

"can someone summarise this story in one sentence?" the teacher asked pointing to the story on the board.

One of the kids from the back raised his hands he had white hair and green eyes his skin was very pale with a black hoodie and a white tshirt.

"yes brandon?" the teacher responded to him.

"of course "brandon" knows the answer." one of the students snickered

brandon slowly lowered his hand and sat back down. "Now now..I think is admirable that Brandon knows the answer, go on Brandon.."

"never mind.. its fine." Brandon quietly

The teacher looked at him for a few seconds concerned before turning back to the board to teach.

Brandon looked up to see three kids laughing to themselves and pointing at him.

"ma'am-" Brandon finally spoke.

"can I use the bathroom?"

The teacher nods and Brandon left the classroom.

After he was finished with his business he started to wash his hands and felt a hand grab him from behind.

Without a word he was dragged in one of the toilet stalls all he could hear was laughter from the boys around him.

His face was plunged into the toilet bowl three times when his head was raised for the 3rd time he heard one of the boys saying hold your breath.

When he was sent into the toilet a fourth time he wasn't pulled back up 2 minutes went by before he started to struggle to get back to the top but the boys held his head down and laughing as he struggled.

"Brandon? you ok?" the english teacher was at the door waiting on him.

"you've been gone for a while-"

all Brandon could hear after that was murming from the boys before he finally blacked out.

Brandon finally woke up in the nurse's office he sat up on the bed.

'This place again-'

"oh your awake?" The nurse peeked from outside the office before walking in.

"what happened to you?" the nurse sat next to Brandon concered.

"I...just fell" Brandon didnt want to blame the boys for anything.

"you dont have to lie Brandon you have no bruises on you and you were coughing up water." The nurse grabbed Brandon's wrist.

"look if you dont want to tell me you need to atleast tell a teacher."

Brandon weakly pulled his arm away from the nurse.

'it doesnt matter they wont do anything... we've been here before-' Brandon looked down to his legs tightening his fists ' after all they're only playing...its what boys do right? play rough?'
