"You did what!" My mum shouted while we were in the principal's office and I just stood beside her, unable to talk.
'Partner, please I don't want to be grounded. If you do this for me, I'll stop scooping Nutella from the jar while everyone is asleep'. I was sweating because I know what my mum can do.
"Detention is not enough Mrs Stella, she should be suspended or even scrape gum from under the desks" my mum said while giving me the stink eye.
Unlike my mum, other parents were begging on behalf of their child. I can see this woman hate me.
"I didn't even do anything, I was just laughing" I said trying to hide the fear in my voice.
I laugh at everything not because they are all funny to me, but because I hide my pain like that. It makes me look stupid, I know but hey, it helps me. I laugh like an hyena but my laugh tells me I would be happy someday.
"I told you that laughing a lot is madness, you will fall into trouble because of your useless laughter" my mum kept on talking and I muted her mentally because I was getting angry and it won't turn out good for the both of us.
After concluding that detention was fine and everyone had left the principal's, well except me and my mum, cause apparently she's not satisfied.
The principal told me to wait for my mum outside but I could still hear what they are saying cause when it comes to eavesdropping, I'm the boss.
"Mrs Dario, your daughter is a very nice kid. She's one of our best students, she's really kind and all but I think she's getting influenced, keep and eye on your kid ma" principal said.
" Mrs Stella, I keep an eye on all my four kids but for some strange reasons, Gold is different. I'm always strict with them" she said and I scoffed. If she was actually keeping an "eye" on me, she would know what I've been going through for 5 years and she would also know I had a nightmare last night.
"It is not only about being strict ma'am, you also need to love them, make them your best friend, especially Gold who is a teenager and is surely going to face a lot of challenges in her life right now" principal said and my mum agreed.

On our way home, the car was silent. My mum kept on glaring at me to the extent I thought her eyes were going to pop out. How the hell is she driving and still looking at me? Does she have an extra eye or something?
When we came out of the car, my mum dragged me by the ear till we entered the house. Our neighbour and my friend, Zara Bobby saw me and gave me the what-did-you-do look and I gave her the I'll-tell-you-later look and she nodded while I was still being dragged inside.
When we were inside, my mum started rambling.
"Why do you have to be like this, why can't I be called to your school for something good and not bad..." I interrupted her before she could finish cause I was angry.
"When have you ever been called to my school because I did something wrong, how would you know when I get credited for something good when you don't come for Parents Teachers Conference.
Since when I started going to school, neither you nor dad have attended the meetings. You are repeating the same mistake that you made with me, with Soph, Santi and Matt.
All you do is nag, judge and criticize every single thing I do" I shouted and then boom, I received a hot slap on my ear. Shit my ear is ringing, I think I'm going deaf.
"Don't ever talk to me like that, I'm your mum and not your mate understand. I think you're getting lot of freedom that's why you're shouting at your own mother. Fine, you're grounded for this month. And also, hand over your phone" she said and I gave her the phone and walked out on her before shutting my door.
