Joost is your brother.

It wasn't like you had a lot of friends at school. on the contrary. You were.. an unsociable kid, a nerd, so to speak.

Joost is 3 years older than you. He's 15 now and you're 12.

They don't like you in class. you were even beaten at recess, which is what happened now.

You come home with a black eye. You came to your room, threw your backpack on the floor and lay down on the bed to cry. Why didn't you fight back against the bullies? Are you worse than the other girls? No, those guys are just assholes.

-Hey, shrimp.—Your brother's voice was heard near the door. You didn't turn to him, lying with your face in the pillow. He just came to tease you.— Why are you getting sour, huh?
