Open House

Catt Pov.

"Hey!"I smiled at Prince's mom,Ms.Theresa,running up to hug her tightly.I love his moms hugs,there always motherly and sweet.

"Hey Catt,I haven't seen you by the house?Whats up?"She asked while I noticed Prince aside her.

"Nothing."We both said shortly.

"I'll be over there this week sometime."I smiled reassuring her as the bell rung for last period.Great,my mothers officially made it to Open House this year.Roc held my hand like I was a baby who might run off.Which might be a good idea at this point.

We sat close to the front so

One-I can run out of here from Rocs embarrassments.

And

Two-I'm looking for my mother....

Prod and his mom walked in automatically bringing a smile to my face.She's really busy but super nice when I met her yesterday.I was right about the height thing big-time.

I giggled as the bell rung.

"Wow first time ever,your not tardy."I snickered.

"Keep playin'."He warned as I rolled my eyes to Ms.Jackson.

So like any other teacher she went over everything on the active board pointing.Which Ray Ray tired stealing once,but failed trying to sell it for 2 thousands dollars over the price it really was.Who would want a stolen touchscreen board anyways?!

"So any questions?"Ms.Jackson asked.

Roc raised his hand as I sunk deep into my chair.

"So if she doesn't turn in the assignment this week she can still turn it in at the end of the week for half credit?"

"Yes and you should start doin' the same."She sassed as the class laughed.

There was a small knock and my mother walked in.Her hair was black like always,flat ironed in her face,topped with red lipstick and her favorite white business suit she loves.My mom looks expensive,important,and busy.....all but nothing like me.I'm surprised were related sometimes because I look nothing like her.Maybe I get it from my dads side,who by the way I've never seen a picture of.

"Sorry I'm late."She small smiled coming in,sitting aside us.

"Ms.Garcia nice to have you join us,late again."She mumbled the last part.

"Oh shit."Roc and I both whispered knowing this is round two.Roc slid down in his chair this time.

"Yes I am late,but some people like us have real jobs to pay the bills."

The announcements cut on their future fight,thank God!Roc rushed us out before things took a climax.I'm even more embarrassed that Prod didn't get to meet my mom like I wanted!

The ride home was silent,I sat in the back furious while Roc drove into the driveway.

"So what's for dinner?"She asked as Roc unlocked the door and we all went in.I sighed in anger at how humiliated I was.Roc went straight outside to feed the dogs ignoring her.Its late and I feel all over the place.

"Catt what's-"

"Don't talk to me!"I yelled going upstairs.

"No young lady you get your butt down here immediately."She pointed going to the kitchen as I walked back down in front of the bar stools.

"Your not happy to see me,what?!Did I do something?!Just tell me Catt!"She shrugged against the stove,clueless to my emotions as always.

"You are always gone!"I started still angry not trying to whine about it."It's like work is more important than me or Roc?!Who by the way is a way better parent than you!"

"Catt is this about your father again?"

"No!Your not listening-"

"Do you need counseling again because this isn't like you to talkback?!"

"Ugh!!!"

I run upstairs slamming my door frustrated as hell with her.I later heard Roc yelling about money,other BS,and how great a daughter I am.I just grabbed my phone and locked my door,dialing someone I need at the moment.

"Hi."Prince answered dryly.

"Look,I'm sorry I yelled at you ok!"

"Are you crying?"He asked concerned as I wiped my face from a few tears.

"No..."

"Catt I could tell you were busy doing something at the moment,it's not big deal-"

"I'm not crying because of that."I sniffed.

"Your on your period?I can pick up your usual stuff-"

"No....just..can you come,I really need you."I sniffed.

"Already here Katniss."He smiled as I looked out my window.

We snuck off to the playground a block away in complete darkness,just to get away from everyone.We normally hang on the monkey bars or swing till we get tired of talking.I told him about how amazing yesterday was.Not including on how Prod and I ended up kissing almost getting caught by Roc,but he had an awesome day himself with his new friends at some country club with Prod's dad.

"So...is that the reason you were crying?"He asked swinging aside me.

"My moms back from Tokyo."I sapped not taking interest in my tone.

"Oh did she get my new anime comic or rock Cd?"

I gave a sharp look towards him stopping.

"Sorry,I'll ask again tomorrow."He shrugged in surrender making me giggle.

"But she's always gone ,and it's like she acts like she's always been home.Possibly teaching me how to cook,how to drive,or about my potential boyfriend!The closet thing I have to a real parent is your mom and,you can tell her I said that by the way."

We laughed a little.

"But,to be honest it's like both of my parents are dead."

"Catt don't say that."He sighed as we got up walking back.

"I wish you could sleepover..."

"I know,but it's a school night."I shrugged as we kicked a huge rock back and forth seeing my house in the distance.We spotted Roc leaving in our opposite direction.

"Wheres he goin'?"

"Dunno?"I frowned with my brow curious to find out.
