___Ambriel's POV___
"I'm sorry" I said again hanging my head low staring at my shoes in embarrassment.
"Well sorry isn't going to change this B on your report card" my dad yelled at me. Cringing at his loud voice , I stared at the floor to avoid eye contact.
I tried as hard as could in school. I was already top of the class but nothing seemed to please my parents. Ever.
"Well" my mom snorted. I looked up seeing her face wiring on a explanation.
"I'm sorry I should have studied harder" I said quietly. My mom scoffed and walked out of the kitchen. I was left with my father.
"Ambriel Robinson look at me" my dad said sternly. I hated when they used my full name. It meant I was serious trouble.
I usually went by Amber. That's what all my friends called me. I slowly raised my head. He looked more angry than usual.
"Your grounded for the week" my dad said. My eyes widened. One B and I was grounded for a whole week. My friends hated it when I wasn't allowed go out. Which nowadays seemed like all the time.
"But Katy's party is this weekend" I protested. My father almost chuckled with amusement.
"There is no way you are going to that girls party" he said. I wanted to ask what was meant by "that girl" but I remained silent. I was such a pushover.
"Ok" I said.
"Now upstairs and study" he said. I stalked out if the room. I wondered what would happen if I stomped up the stairs and threw a tantrum. Would my parents freak out?
I walked into my room and shut the door behind me. I leaned up against the door and let myself slid down.
I felt tears sting my eyes. It was days like these I needed Cody. He was my older brother. Maybe that was why my parents where so hard on me , because of Cody.
Because of what happened to him.
I sighed and put my head in my knees and silently sobbed so that my parents couldn't hear me. I looked over at my desk where all my books lay.
I should be studying maths. I should be getting all As. I didn't understand the chapter in maths. I studied so hard. I bowed my head again. I was tired of trying today.
I didn't know how long I sat there.Suddenly the door burst open. My mom rushed in. The door smacked against my back and I cried out in pain.
"Ambriel that's not studying" she screamed. I got up quickly.
"Sorry I was just..." I started but my mom cut me off.
"So you get a B and then you lie?" She questioned. I didn't know what to say. They were taking this out of proportion.
"Well answer me" my mom yelled.
"I just ne- needed a minute" I stuttered.
"Well you need to start studying actually" my Mom yelled again and slammed the door. I heard her stomp down the stairs and yell something at my father. I could only hear muffled voices so I stepped outside to get a better listen.
"She will ruin her life just like Cody" my mom screamed. Her words hurt more then I expected them to. It was only one B and they were saying I was going to ruin my life? I mean I am only 17.
"Well do you not think I know that?" My father yelled back. He wasn't even standing up for me. I rushed back into my room and shut the door.
I kicked off my shoes and fell on to the bed. I covered my ears to try and drown out the screaming. It didn't work. I could still hear every word clearly. They sunk into my skin digging deep.
