After my horrible first day, I quickly made my way home.
The house was empty as usual. Mom usually worked till pretty late.
I swung off my schoolbag and went to the kitchen to search for food. The school lunch was disgusting as hell.
The front door opened after a while. Am I expecting someone?
"Nella? Sweetie, you home?"
Mom.
"What are you doing here so early? I thought you were working till 8 at night," I went to greet her.
It was when I walked close that I see her worried expression. She smiled, but the sad look did not leave her dark eyes.
"The school... called me," She said. "They told me what happened."
"Of course they did," I grumbled as I plopped down onto the sofa.
"I'm sorry, sweetie," She sat down beside me.
"Yeah, yeah, my luck is always this bad," Suddenly a ball of anger rises in my chest. "First, there's two karens in my class, and then I did not get my form or element, then I get bullied and almost died! How fortunate!"
"Nella..." My mother smoothed my hair.
"This is exactly what happened to da-" I started, but clamped my mouth shut. Don't speak of him.
Mom gives me a sad look.
"You know you can talk about him here."
"I don't want to and will never want to talk about him," I shot back. "He's a freaking liar and cheater."
My mom sighed a little.
"Just... be patient, honey, and I'm sure everything will be fine."
"But how? How do I know everything is fine?"
"Stay determined, sweetie, stay determined."
It were these warm words, that cheered me up a little.
"Well, how do I deal with Allison and Audrey?" I asked.
"Ignore them, walk away, and stay with your friends as much as possible," My mother smiled.
"Thanks, mom."
