As soon as I entered home, mom's at the door, almost bouncing from excitement but also a little concerned seeing I'm home way too early.

"What happened? How did it go? Why are you home already?!" She fired.

I removed my shoes and stepped inside, going to the kitchen to get a glass of water since my throat's hurting from swallowing a huge bite of toast earlier.

After I've soothed my throat and put my backpack down by the couch, I faced mom who has been waiting patiently.

"So- uhm- I was kinda told to leave for the day."

Her eyes widened.

"You're fired already?!" She raised her voice and I flinched.

"No, mom! I said 'told to leave for the day'. Not 'don't ever come back'."

She sighed dejectedly. "But why?"

My turn to sigh, I rubbed my temple. "Let's sit down and talk."

So, I shared her all the details and I could tell she's ready to explode and scold me to her heart's content, telling me how my behavior always leads me to my doom;

So, I'm quite surprised when she instead hugged me tightly.

I relaxed in her arms and let my head fall on her shoulder as she rubbed my back and stroked my hair.

"I'm sure you're gonna be just fine. You'll slay tomorrow, I can feel it. If she gave you a chance, use it properly. Don't disappoint her, or me."

I nodded against her and smiled, exhaling in relaxation.

How did I get so lucky to have such an understanding mom?

"I love you." I mumbled.

She kissed the top of my head and held me tight.

"I love you too."

After lunch, I spend the whole day researching and contacting people around Lucille. In an attempt to get as much information about her as possible.

I checked the mail Elena had sent me earlier and clicked it open.

Fuck. That's a huge ass list.

The few points that caught my eyes are;

Always be clean and tidy

Be on time

Don't sneeze in front of her?

Don't mishap on the schedule

Don't lie

And the list went on and on.

But what would I do if I'm suddenly sneezy? What kind of demand was that?

Ughhh! Anyway, since I promised to return with a bang, I must be on point.

My attention broke to my friend calling me to join on the video game.

Let's take a break.

I pushed away my laptop and Ipad, and settled down in front of the monitor with my controller.

"Hey bro!" Jamie's voice boomed in my headphones and I have to pull it away a little to save my eardrums from bleeding.

"How was your day at work?" Nate asked.

I shrugged then realized they couldn't see me.

"Meh."

"Did you cause trouble?" Jamie snickerd.
