The Book I wrote||✓

I walked into house and it felt like momma was cooking, no, this is the momma-just-finished-cooking feeling the house had. I'm starving and would sink my teeth into anything I find.

I walked into the kitchen to find Momma and Brad having a lovey-dovey dinner which almost made me lose my appetite, I needed to eat something anyways, before I starve to death tonight.

"Welcome home honey" she finally took her eyes off Brad and smiled at me, Brad on the other hand was giving me disturbing looks I caught from the corner of my eye

"how was school today?"

"School was stressful but okay" I tucked my hair and walked to the fridge, I could still feel his eyes on me, sliding all the way from top to bottom. I'll just avoid him till I get something to eat and go upstairs.

"You're home late don't you think?"

I heard his stupid voice say, making me pause my fridge search, even Momma didn't say anything about me coming late, what's up with you?

"Not so late really" I continued my rummaging "I was with Noah"

"That Noah guy anyways" he laughed out loud

"Oh stop it" she nudged him and laughed too. What's his problem with Noah?

"Honey you're not eating dinner?" She asked after seeing my hand filled with snacks

"No, since I'm not so hungry this would do"

"Oh c'mon, come eat with us"

"It's fine Mom really, I'm okay with these"

"I insist" and it's final, there's no way I could argue with that, she wins every single time she goes with that, and what can I say?

I sighed sliding into my seat after returning the snacks. Worse part is that I'm sitting opposite Brad with momma on the other side. I was just wondering why he had a stupid smirk on his damn face.

"Want me to serve it for you?" She asked picking up her cutleries after stopping to watch me sit

"No thanks I'm good" I'm not good let's just hope I don't choke on the way

You'll be fine, all you gotta do is just get your mind off Brad and at least enjoy the meal, it's actually been a while since you sat with momma to eat don't you think?

My phone went beep with a text from Noah

'i'm coming over, I could barely understand the literature assignment which is due tmr'

'i'm hungry btw, make something;)'

Yay at least more fun for me tonight. Noah never pays attention in literature class, he feels everything's boring in it and just about books and since I like books I became his personal tutor

'i'll order pizza, don't be late else I'll eat your-'

"You know you can't eat and use your phone right?"

I lifted my eyes from my phone to look at him letting the little smile I had on my face fade away

"I was just replying a text"

"Honey you know he's right" she said easing my already boiling soul. I looked back at him and he arched his eyebrow

'-slice'

I replied before I put my phone away and continued with my food which seemed like it wasn't going to end anytime soon. It should cause now I feel like tossing a fork across the table at Brad.
