Disappointment Child.

Tamara's POV:

I wake up to the sound of Mandy getting clothes out her drawers for her and I to wear to school. She always has cute outfits and clothes so I don't mind wearing them. Shes in short grey shorts with a black t-shirt and her hair in in a high ponytail.

"Goodmorning." I say with a tired, raspy voice. She looks in my direction and gives me a welcoming smile.

"Goodmorning Mara, I left you a change of clothes on the chair. It's only 7:00 so no rush and we can pick up Esmeray to take her to school. I'll get us food on the way there." She says as she closes her drawer. She walks up to me and brings her face towards mine. Shes now only a few inches away from me, her eyes go from mine down to my lips and she slowly leans in and kisses me. I kiss her back and when she pulls away, she gives a sly smirk and walks out of her room. I finally get the energy to get up and I grab the clothes off the chair and head to the bathroom. She lent me plain grey t-shirt with tight black ripped jeans. I let my hair down since she braided it last night so its smooth and wavy. I brush my teeth and splash my face with water and pat it dry and exit the bathroom. I head back to the room and grab my bag and put my shoes on. I walk into her dining room and I find her boiling some water to make us both some tea. Mandy put on a tight black crop top with tech styled pants and some combat boots. She has her hair up and some hoop earrings with a choker around her neck.

"Here's your tea, are you ready?"

"Yeah I'm ready, let me text Jensen to tell Esmeray to be ready."

I text him as we walk out the door and head into Mandy's car. I put my seatbelt on and she starts the car and plays some soft music and then starts to leave.

Me: Hey Jensen, tell Esmeray to be ready. Im on my way to pick her up with Mandy.

Jensen: Alright. She didn't eat breakfast so make sure to get a little something for her.

Me: We will. We might stop at a Jack-In-The-Box so i'll get her some breakfast from there.

A few minutes later, we pull into my driveway. Mandy honks twice and after a few seconds the door opens. My mom walks out with Esmeray firmly in her grip. My jaw clenches and I barge out the car and speed walks up to them.

"Let her the fuck go or I swear to god." I get in my mom's face. I can feel how hot i'm getting because of how angry this sight makes me.

"Where the hell were you? Sending Esmeray home with your little friend, how fucking irresponsible of you." She starts to get aggressive with her tone. I haven't thought about what happened yesterday until this moment. The way he touched me, ugh the thought of it makes me shift my posture.

"I was at a friend's house. I slept at Mandy's last night now let Esmeray go so I can take her to fucking school."

"Fine, but i'm picking her up." I look at Esmeray and she gives me a nod to just drop the subject.

"Fine. Dont ever hold onto her like that again." I take Esmeray's hand out of my moms grip. She's looking down and is rubbing her hand, assuming because of how tight my mom held it. I opened the door for her and closed it then I got into the car. I sigh and Mandy puts her hand on my back and starts to rub it, causing me to relax a bit. After a few seconds, she looks in the rear view mirror to look at Esmeray who is looking outside the window. Poor girl.

~~~~~~~~~~

After getting food, I walk Esmeray to the front gate. Her principal smiles at me and Esmeray and I walk over to drop her off with her principal.

"Thank you, my mother will be picking her up today." I say to Ms. Lee.

"No worries. Have a good day at school." She smiles and takes Esmeray as they walk up to the gates. I turn and head back to Mandy's car.

As we walk into campus, I start to panic a bit. I have period 1 today and I hope to god I dont see Pierce in that class. Before I walk into the classroom, I take a deep breath and brace myself for the possibility of him being inside. I turn the knob and step in, I look up at his seat, empty. Thank god.

I sit down and unpack my stuff, then realizing I left my art assignment at Pierce's house. fuck. Mr. Kian gets out of his desk and walks towards me with a paper. He places it on my desk and silently says to me,
"Before Pierced left the school, he stopped by and left your assignment. It looks great and I already graded it for you."
That dick. How dare he fucking try to be a nice guy after what he fucking put me through. I grab the paper and give him a forced smile. I hate this school.

Third Person POV:

Nela quickly exits the house to pick up Esmeray at 3:00 since thats the time school ends. As she drives over there, she has a mini vodka bottle and chugs it to ease her anxiety. She pulls in and walks over to sign out Esmeray so she can quickly leave and go back home. I can't stand this bitch. She thinks to herself as Ms. Lee sends her a welcoming smile. Nela smiles back.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Kent. Can we step aside over here so I can have a chat with you?" Ms. Lee says as she puts her hand on Nela's arm to direct her to the side. Nela nods and they head over to where no parents are.

"Okay Ms. Kent, so today I got a report from Esmeray's PE teacher. According to Ms. Baldwin, Esmeray was sitting down on the floor when she noticed a few red lines on her thighs. As she got a bit closer, she can clearly see that they were self harm cuts. This is a serious matter and as a principal, I am obligated to report this. But because I know you and Tamara, I trust that you guys will be able to take matters into your own hands and get her the proper help she needs."

With Nela being under the influence, rage quickly settles in and Nela clenches her fists so tight that her nails dig into her skin, causing a small amount of blood to come out.

"Thank you so much for telling me. I never knew this was going on. I'll make sure to get her help. Please, can you bring her here so I can give her a hug?" She tries nicely to say this without giving any indication that she is filled with anger. Ms. Lee smiles and goes back to get Esmeray.
