Half a Damn

The Beginning

Idk if I'll continue this due to one reason. My depression has negatively affected my humor and vice versa and it's a horrible cycle. I know people enjoyed my Helluva boss fics because of the humor, but I can't guarantee that I have kept the same level of humor.

I'm posting this for fun, so please don't have crazy expectations.

Also, no SI-OC for once.

The cover is the Main character.

Enjoy.

"Miss Nydia, I'm sorry to tell you this; but your child's behavior will no longer be tolerated at our school." Said a man with a moustache sitting in front of a desk with a young girl and her mother standing in front of him. "She will immediately be executed." The mother and daughter duo's eyes shot out of their sockets upon hearing his words, causing the man to clear his throat. "Sorry, expelled."

The mother, a woman with wavy short light brown hair and brown eyes sighed. Nydia glanced at her daughter for a second before turning to the man once again. "Principal, I know Mavis can be a little... difficult." She said calmly, earning a side look from her red eyed, black haired daughter. "But please, reconsider. She has great grades and is...creative...and, uhhh... she's...uhhh..."

Awkward silence filled the principal's office as Nydia failed to find anything else to say, causing Mavis to frown dejectedly and prompting the principal to speak. "How do you find the strength to wake up in the morning every day when you live with her?" He asked with a tone full of pity causing Nydia to look at him in confusion. "She caused us a spider infestation because a classmate called her creepy. That was months ago and we're STILL finding more spiders! I mean, check this out." He said bringing out a big red button from inside his desk and setting it on the table.

Mavis immediately reached for the button and slammed her palm down on it without a single thought before, suddenly, a fire alarm started to ring throughout the school and faint screams could be heard from the hallways outside the office. Both Nydia and the principal gave Mavis a disappointed look. "To be fair, I didn't know it would do that." The red eyed girl said with a nervous side glance.

"Get the f**k out of my office."

Silently, both Nydia and Mavis walked out of the principal's office and headed to their car outside before promptly driving away. Amidst this silent drive, Nydia's expression was that of pure stress. Mavis glanced at her mother's face and winced. "You okay there? You look a little...not good."

"Whaaaat? I'm fine! Just a little tired and...ugh, who am I kidding? I can't do this anymore." Replied Nydia tiredly as she drove, slamming her forehead into the wheel. "Mavis, you're fifteen! You're smart and you have so much potential only if you'd just control yourself!"

Mavis pouted dejectedly. "I'm sorry, okay?" She said crossing her arms as she avoided eye contact. "My brain does it before I could think about it!" Suddenly, Mavis heard a snort come out of her mother's mouth. "Hey! It's not funny!"

"Sorry, sorry. I just remembered your dad saying something similar a long time ago." Nydia replied cheerfully. "He said it after he got into a sword fight with your grandma."

Mavis barely stifled a laugh before she frowned. "You never talk much about dad." She commented dejectedly. Nydia flinched under her daughter's sad gaze before nervously chuckling.

"Your dad and I were living very different lives and we had to go our separate ways." Nydia muttered dejectedly as she drove with a frown. "But maybe you would've been better off with him. At least you wouldn't have gotten expelled for the 4th time."
