Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 5

"Hey mom." I said as I stepped into the car. I was really hoping that she won't bring up anything about Koda, or worse, Dani.

"Hola nena, how was your day? Did you eat today?" My mom always asks me if I eat because I tend to starve myself or I just don't eat because the school lunch is disgusting. I legit think that they use left overs from the high school... That thought makes me puke.

"Don't worry I did eat but as usual it was just water and a cookie. And I had a pretty good day..." I didn't feel the need to go into detail about what had just happened with that bitch Dani.

"Well that's good. Did you get into any fights?" WHAT THE HELL MOM.. I tried to steer away from this question and it didn't seem to be working.

"Uhh what do you mean? Like fist fights, or verbal abuse...?" I asked, trying to act oblivious.

"I was just joking with you!" She chuckled "I know I could trust you so I thought it would be funny to add a little joke!" Again she chuckled.

I sighed in sweet relief. For a moment there I thought she had witnessed what happened between Dani and I. I know if she were to have seen she would've told my dad, who already mad at me because I was going to buy a new phone soon. So if he ever finds out about this, then I can forget about a phone, friends, and basically my whole social life.

To most people, a little verbal argument is nothing, but to my parents, it's basically like murder. They just don't like it when I disrespect someone like that, even if that person was disrespecting me the whole time. Their gay ass rules annoy me. At least they don't really take anything away from me (unless I'm supposed to get it anytime soon). Hopefully my parents never find about my little dispute.

"Oh" I chuckled also "I thought you heard something about me fighting someone at school! You scared me there mother!" We both laughed while listening to the radio. God, it's like sometimes my mom could legit be my best friend. She acts like a teenager, in a good way, and knows all the best songs out there. And she's obsessed with my favorite band. She's just a really great mom, until she gets pissed. Then out comes the dinosaur.

We continued our small talk for a while, until I started flipping out because my favorite song was playing on the radio. It was "Little Things" by One Direction! My obsession with them and that song was insane. Even though I listen to that song everyday, I still freak out when it's played anywhere. It's just like one of the best songs ever to me!

My mom freaks out too but sarcastically. It's kind of funny when she does that, but also really annoying at times. She's just not a true fan girl like me! But then again... she is my mother and she's 44. Teehee!

As I was singing along to the radio, my mom lowered the volume and said "Kanji, as soon as you get home you have to go to your room and pack up everything you need so we don't have to worry about anything in the morning."

Fuck... She just had to remind me of this twelve hour road trip ahead of us. Great, just great. I just have this weird feeling that something extraordinary is gonna happen, but I just can't put my finger on it! I guess my mind will just have to ponder on it.

Finally we arrived home. I was starving! Since I never really eat at school, mostly because I hate people watching me eat or even carry food.

Side note: I've always struggled with my weight so I'm extremely self conscious. I can't stand people looking at me when I'm going to get food because I feel like they will automatically think "Wow look at that fat ass with all that food!" It's not a pleasant thought at all. I always feel like no one wants me because of my weight. But I have made progress since summer. I lost over 20 pounds and I feel good, but I still have my doubts and bad thoughts. It makes me feel unwanted by guys and that all they think of when they see me is just "FAT FAT FAT". I can't help but cry when I think of that.

As I walked into the kitchen to find a quick snack, I was shocked. My mom made all my favorite foods. It was kind of weird but I didn't care. Food was all I wanted at the moment. I was stuffing my face with all this food, until I looked up to see both my parents standing there, grinning at me. I was starting to get suspicious.

"Uh hey mom, hey dad" I said with a mouthful of salad. "What's got you guys in such a good mood?" I asked suspiciously. It was silent for about two seconds, until my dad broke the silence. He was a bit hesitant but then He was finally able to say it.

"Well your mom and I have decided to give you your new phone, as like a little Thanksgiving gift." As soon as he said that my mom pull from behind her a brand new iPhone 5. I started freaking out. I've been asking for the iPhone 5 ever since it came out! I dropped the food and snatched the phone from her hands and yelled "THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU BOTH!" I gave them the biggest hugs ever and then I ran off with the phone.

It was beautiful. To my surprise, they even got me the One Direction case that I was begging for. I still couldn't believe they actually got it for me! I guess my good deeds have finally paid off! They gave it to me just in time too! The road trip was tomorrow and all I had before was a crappy little flip phone that couldn't do anything but call and text. Now I have something that holds my music, all my apps, and a bunch of other stuff. I was so freaking happy! And I'll be able to talk to Koda more! My sweet little Koda. Oh how his name warms my heart.

I heard my mom yell from downstairs "Kanji don't forget to pack for tomorrow! We can't have you forgetting anything like you did last year!"

"I'm on it right now mom!" I said, and with that I quickly grabbed my suitcase and packed all the essentials in the small front pocket and all my clothes. Suddenly the road trip didn't seem so bad anymore! I'm thinking this could be fun!

After what seemed to be an hour of packing, I had finally got everything I needed into the suitcase. God, it was so heavy. I'm gonna have a bit of trouble bringing it downstairs. I'll just get my brother Brandon to carry. I'm sure he wouldn't mind, after all, I am just a girl! I'm going to laugh so hard when he falls down the stairs. It's going to be epic!

I was lost in thought when I heard my dad yell from the living room. He said "Kanji, there's someone at the door for you!" I wasn't expecting anyone, so this was a bit of a surprise for me!

I yelled back "Okay I'll be down in a second!"

I ran downstairs to open the door, and to my surprise, I see none other than the greatest, yet worst thing ever. Koda and Dani.
