"Mom?" I call out for my mother on the other end of my phone.

I decided to ring her up while I am making me a quick and easy late night snack of supreme pizza rolls in my tiny microwave.

Even though I talked to her not even two days ago I really missed hearing her voice and I wanted to inform her of my new schedule change of my classes because of my incapabilities of learning everything in a timely manner, so my teachers keep telling me.

I'm really having a difficult time in one particular class though, my infuriating compulsion class. For some inexplicable reason I can't seem to get it down completely. My teacher, Ms. Waldron seems to think it's because of the stress that I might have been under here lately.

I almost laughed in her face when she mentioned my own growing anxiety to me. How could she possibly know what I've been suffering through since I came here to this strange school?

Actually I've been having trouble in most of my classes since I started attending here. It's not like they are teaching us geometry or even something as simple as math, you know the normal high school things. These classes that I'm taking are somewhat difficult for me to comprehend. My skill levels aren't the best supposedly.

Now they are wanting me to get a tutor to help me progress faster with my known abilities. The ones that they know of anyway.

"Hey sweetie how is school going? Are you making any new friends?" I pout when I hear her ask me that certain oblique question.

The only friend that I have even managed close to making a relationship with is Dayna and she's not much of a friend to me like I would like her to be. I so miss Kimber, if she was here with me now I probably wouldn't feel so damn alone and depressed as I do now.

Her laugh alone could always brighten up my entire day.

Unfortunately, I had to block her number on my phone along with my exes Joshs number. I can't take the chance of her finding out exactly where I'm at now. Although I truly wish that I could. I so need a true friend right now.

"Not really mom. It's been kind of rough for me here. I've had to change my schedule completely around because I'm having a hard time with mostly all of my classes. I don't know why I'm having such a difficult time with them? I'm especially having a very hard time in my compulsion class." I fill her in as I drag out my pizza rolls from the microwave after I hear the microwaves obnoxious ding.

I place them on the middle of the kitchen island, for them cool off as I go to my fridge to grab out a cold coke to go along with them.

"Oh sweetie I'm sure it will get better. The compulsion is probably giving you a difficult time because of your ring. It blocks out most of your abilities Haze." At my mothers admission I stand straight up from the fridge in a amazement.
