I got a slightly Unique System.

Ethan's POV

And I am for my 9th Grade Joined a shabby but a Genuinely good school where my life changed for the better….

I mean literally as my father stopped being decadent and did his first ever authentic job in the company as the post of Sr. Engineer. Yeah, you heard it right my dad had been a graduate all along.

Dad's domestic violence tendencies reduced a lot. As he is mostly out of state to work, so dad began to cherish the time when he is in home.

But as I said my two asshole brothers began their shenanigans….

As my dad married with my mom in the first place was to take care of my two elder brothers so all of the first priorities went to them as my mom realized they are kids and they need care so mom pampered them a lot instead of me. Like it happens with typical cliché family where the youngest is the most pampered one.

My mom was very young at that time period, so mom thought 'they are yearning for love' so mom was more real mom to them than me. But it backfired mom as my both bothers comes under section of the ungrateful bastards.

They alongside with slum kids got the habit of drinking, smoking, tobacco all the wrong habits were got them addicted. Mom realizing the mistake a bit too late took special care of me by being really very strict with me and mom was the one who beat me up in the home if I didn't meet the normal requirement for the normal kid.

In one of my childhood fights, I injured a kid who cursed at my mom. I got beaten up at the home as they only took the fact that I seriously injured a kid but not the fact why I did it. So, all these things like if I fight back my situation will not be good birthed my cowardice and fearful personality.

(Fun fact: My brothers needed more discipline than me as they are the bona fide delinquents.)

But for me at that time, it was a living hell as I cannot be myself and being in a constant state of fear and unease where I get beaten up in school/home and I cannot do anything at all as nobody asked me about my wellbeing and how I was. It finally resulted me in having an antisocial personality by the time I went outside of that fucking school.

Anyway, back to where I left

The new school despite being a shabby and shady one it holds a very precious 2 years of my life.

On my 9th grade I was 13 years old.

No, my personality kept being an antisocial one, there I made my best friends their name is

Vicky

Shiva

And my late friend who recently died due to illness Amit.

My life in school went well

I got myself a Crush. Her name is Safa Banu .

I am not a handsome or a fit boy I am barely passable in my appearance and my height is in the lower end of the spectrum.

And Safa is also average looking and a couple of inches less height than mine.

I proposed to her in my 10th grade but she rejected my advance by saying that she will consider after 4 or 5 years. She told me if I can wait then she will be my lover after that. I readily accepted that and after my lovely 2 years in the school….

My mom proposed to change the house as my brother's instead of changing for the better their activities became extreme like coming home drunk, etc. And my dad lost his lot of edge after being released and began change for the better. (Well, I am happy for my dad's change but the damage is already being done right?).

So, realizing the situation dad changed the home into the outskirts of Mumbai (Navi Mumbai).

It was a apartment home of 1 BHK.

My eldest brother then ran away from home as he can't live the way he wanted with us.

As for my second brother he stopped his studies after his 10th grade, and in the excuse of going for a job hunt he got money from home went to a trip with his friends and come home every 2 or 3 months and then go again this happened a lot of times.

Like every typical Indian parent, my parents also told me to go in the engineering line while I wanted to pursue BA.LLB. I stood on my ground until my father threatened me that he won't pay for my studies only then I gave in to it....
