emery
"emery." mama knocked on my door.
"mama." i smiled at her when i looked up from my notebook. i've been studying nonstop for my ap exam which is in a couple of days. tomorrow, mr john will give us an example test to practice for the next class. i am planning on acing that practice test so i wouldn't be that nervous going into the real thing.
"what are you doing?" she smiled back, sitting on the edge of my bed.
"i'm studying for my final ap exam on monday." i answered.
"is that the test you told me about that's out of five?" she asked. i was surprised she even remembered that conversation, i only told her about it that day because i was so nervous going into it.
"yeah it's that one." i nodded.
"you'll do great in it." she assured me. "you study hard." she nodded once.
"thank you." i was even more confused then. "i'm just nervous." i shrugged.
"promise me you won't give up on your dreams." she blinked at me, her accent came out very pronounced.
"where's this coming from?" i laughed with myself, now giving her my full attention. "i am not stupid to mess up a scholarship to harvard."
"then promise me you will graduate at the top of your class. you will get into medical school and you will be who you want to be, because you can do it emery." she stressed.
"if god gave me the age to, yes. i promise to make my dreams a reality." i frowned while telling her.
"you're a good girl emery." she smiled at me. "what do you want for dinner?" she asked.
"whatever is on your mind." i shrugged.
"are you going stay up late studying?" she asked.
"probably." i nodded.
"do you want some coffee then? to keep you awake?" she asked.
"uhm... yeah that sounds good." i nodded. she smiled one last time before leaving the room and closing the door. it took me a whole ten minutes to get back into the level of concentration i was in. i practically forced myself into it, mom really caught me off guard.
i looked over to the corner of my desk and i realized mama had already put the coffee there but i just didn't realize it. i took a sip and went back to studying. "won't you join us on the table for dinner?" she knocked on my door a while later.
"i don't know mama, i want to finish this chapter before taking a break." i answered.
"your dad wants you there." she admitted.
"oh." i paused. i thought she was the one that wanted me there with them."i'm coming."

"hi." she scrunched up her nose, greeting me for the second time today because the first was rudely interrupted by mr john separating the both of us because we quote on quote "seem to have telepathy and become smarter when we're next to each other, so we need a challenge."
i'm in love with you, the voice in my brain tells her. kiss me here, right here, i don't care what people say, who finds out. i crave you every second i'm with or without you. i love you. tell me you do too.
"hey." i smiled. we were still acting like we were just friends on the surface to let the rumors disappear. "do you think you did good on the test?"
