Kath

" oh great !" I said when everything in my bag decided to fall out. My mother saw and chuckled a bit at me and smiled "Honey do not worry so much you'll make it on time" I looked at my mother and smiled

It was my first day back to school after the holidays, and I was already running late to school.

My mother was not only everything to me but also my only family member. My mother had me at the young age of 22 years old, and has never spoken to me about my father. Which I always assumed he just did not want to be part of my life.

As I picked everything up, and put into my school backpack I felt a weird sensation in my gut. Like something was going to happen but I did not know what it was yet.

As I looked up , I saw my mother was already grabbing the car keys. "Let's Go Kath! Lets try to make it on time" I stood up and followed her out the door.

_________________________________________

I was able to arrive to my high school a few minutes before the second school bell rang for class to start for the day. "Bye mom! see you later " I say when I get out of the car.

The feeling in my gut was still there but I decided to ignore it because I thought I was overthinking it today.

When I got to my first class which was anatomy, I sat down in my seat next to my friend Del.

Del was my best friend since we were kids. Our parents got along since both are from Thailand d, and Del and I were put together in Thai classes, dance classes, and much more. We have grown together and will finish High school together.

"Hi Del" I say she looks up and smile at me "Hi Kath! how was the holidays?"

"hmm things went okay I suppose, didn't do much but stay in Oregon" I say

"How was Thailand? " I ask Del

"Super fun! I wish your mom would have let you come with us ! you would have loved it"

"me too" I sighed

My mother has never let me leave the country, and she has never told me why. Del and her family have always invited me to Thailand but my mother always politely denied the invitation .

My mother has always told me that we were not allowed to leave the country, and I never questioned her when I was younger but as the years went by, then I just never understood.

I badly wanted to know that part of me that I didn't know because my mother decided to leave Thailand a few months before I was born

My mother has always talked to me about Thailand, her life, and everything she missed but she never tried to return or even let me visit.

I did feel like my mother was hiding something but I could never ask her because she always had this sad look on her face.

Our anatomy teacher walked in and Del and I spent our time listening to what she was talking about and writing on the board

"Have you finished your history family tree Kath?" del asked me towards the end of class

"hmm no. It's hard to do when I supposably have no family. Even when I talked to the teacher about it she said it wasn't possible to not know or have any information on my family tree"

"have you asked your mom? I know its a touchy subject but I believe she would be willing to talk about it since its a project for school. Right?"

"I don't know Del, you know it's a touchy subject when it comes to family for my mom. The only person I can think to add would be the grandma that helped raise me when I was younger. "

Del nodded

"I wish the teacher was a bit nicer about these things. Not everyone has a good relationship with their family members. "

"yeah, but what can I do?"

Del hummed, and we both turned to our anatomy teacher who happened to talk about how next week we will start our dissection.

After class Del and I went out separate ways for our other classes, but for some reason school time seemed to be going by too slow, and the more school went on the more I felt worried about what I was feeling this morning.

For some reason I could not for the life of me shake it off because when I had a moment to myself all I thought about was that feeling.

I hoped that I was just overthinking it, and everything was going to be okay.

Things had to be okay and will be okay because I cannot keep thinking so negatively.

________________________________Lunch time_____________________________________

Lunch time rolled around, and I met up with Del

"Hey! what's with the long face Kath?"

"hmm, i don't know Del I keep overthinking some stuff but don't worry about it. It's probably nothing" I shrugged not wanting to worry my friend with what I assume is my own nonsense.

"You know I'm here for you Kath no matter what" she smiled brightly

"thank you"

Del and I talked about our other classes since we only share our first period class and lunch together. She talked about how much she hated math but lately its been interesting since there was a new classmate.

She gushed how cute the new girl was and how she hopes tomorrow she'll be brave enough to talk to her in class.

All I did was smile while Del talked about her new crush, and hoped her all the best.

Lunch time went a lot faster compared to the rest of my day. I just had one more class and I would be done with the first day back.


________________________________________________________________________________

I was in my last class of the day when the principal walked into my class room and called for me

"Kathy may you please grab your stuff and follow me to my office?" the principal said

I looked at her and nodded, I got up and grabbed my stuff like she asked and follow the principal out the door.

I did not know what I must of done or if something occurred but that same feeling I felt all day came rushing at full blast

When I entered the principles office, I sat on the chair and waited for her to inform me why I was asked to come in.

"Kathy, Im sorry to say this to you but I'm afraid that your mother suffered a horrible accident, and sadly passed away"

I sat there in shock,

"what?" I whispered

I couldn't think, I couldn't move, and I couldn't come to terms on what my principal had told me

I couldn't even pay attention to what my principal was even saying afterwards because to me I could not believe what was happening.

I couldn't believe my mother was gone, my only family, my support system, my friend, my everything.

I was alone.
