Save Me

Chapter 6-Not Afraid of you Afraid of my mom

Tristan

I am in so much trouble, three words-parent teacher meeting. Just because I don't care about school doesn't mean my mother has the same opinion. As absent as she may be she still cares, sometimes I think she cares too much. My grades keep dropping and it really annoys her but she's at work too much to do anything about it. Today is the one day I have to fear, she's leaving work half day just to make sure she's early to talk to my teachers. I doubt anyone has anything good to say about me. I don't participate in class, don't do homework, don't study and usually don't care but I have to care for my mom. Teachers threaten to give me detentions and any other punishment they can think of but I'm not afraid of them I'm afraid of my mom.

"Dude you look worried, what's up?" Ross said walking up to me.

"The meeting after school."

"Oh crap I forgot."

"Not surprised, you never remember anything."

"That is... very true."

"My mom is coming."

"Lol, you're in so much trouble."

"I know, it sucks."

"Yeah it does. I know all of my teachers will say Ross talks too much, Ross doesn't hand in homework, Ross never studies-"

"Ross might be crazy."

"I am not. I'm special."

"Yeah sure you are."

OK so I just went through an entire day doing what I was told and being friendly. It was terrible! Pretending to care is so much work. For once though I got no detentions and actually had friends. Well kinda had friends, I basically just talked to this guy Matt that sits next to me in class but at least I spoke to someone who wasn't Ross.

"Dude your mom's here."

"Already?"

"Yeah the meeting starts in 5 minutes."

"Oh wow I didn't even notice. Is your mom here?"

"Actually yeah I gotta go, bye."

"Bye."

Now to find my- oh wait my mom's right in front of me.

"Tristan."

"Hi mom."

"Hi son. So where do we start."

"My maths teacher is over there."

Torture is all I can say. I can see the vein in my mom's neck popping out. She looks so mad right now. All my teachers said I'm antisocial, don't participate in class basically anything bad you can think of but that is what I was expecting. There were only two teachers so far who said good things about me, my science teachers. My biology teacher said that I do well in her class and do everything I am supposed to especially in experiments and my chemistry teacher said the same thing. I only have 2 teachers left to go to, my physics teacher and the guidance counsellor because my mother thinks what my teachers said is 'disturbing'.

"We will go to your guidance counsellor and the physics teacher."

"OK."

After waiting in another never ending line we finally make it to my guidance counsellor.

"Good evening," my guidance teacher Mrs. Parker says.

"Good evening," my mother replies while shaking her hand. Weird, polite people.

"Ok, so your son Tristan I would say is quite antisocial. I am not sure why but he seems depressed most of the time. Today in guidance class he was smiling and talking though and I am not sure what caused the sudden change."

"Probably to earn brownie points for the meeting, although it didn't work," my mom says with a smirk.

"Ok well that is all I have to say so do you have any questions or concerns."

"Nothing that another teacher hasn't told me."

"Thank you for your time."

One last teacher and I might actually not be in trouble since he teaches a science and has no line yay.

"Good evening."

"Good evening ma'am. So Tristan is a wonderful student."

"He is?"

"Yes, he participates in class, hands in all of his assignments on time and seems to really like lab assignments. He is actually at the top of his class this term."

"He is? This is a surprise considering what all his other teachers said."

"Oh, well he's a great student in my class."

"OK thank you. Goodbye."

Wow I did well in physics, I actually came at the top of the class, wow I'm so shocked. At least my mom won't be as mad now.

When we got home my mom was fuming, guess physics didn't matter. I got banned from the computer, my phone and anything that makes me happy (she was really dramatic). So now I'm bored and cleaning, apparently I clean when I'm bored. Tomorrow I'll be back to my GTA because my mom will be at work and I'll be free.

So today my friend told me I write weird and wouldn't tell me how so someone please tell me how I write weird. I know my chapters are pretty short but I don't want this to be a long book so they're probably not gonna get any longer.
