I've just finished brushing my hair, when something outside of my window caught my attention. This morning when I woke up, the weather looked absolutely splendid. As my mother always used to say, it was the best thing, to get up soon and do all of your day chores as fast as possible. I usually listen to my mom, but today I just decided to stay in bed a little bit longer with my book. Yes. Did I mention, that I really enjoy reading? It's like if you'd enter into another world, while leaving the real one behind. No problems, no chores and mostly no time. And that's exactly what happened. I forgot about time. Which brought me into this position where I am. Late and just brushing my hair. But back to what I was saying...the reason why I was daydreaming, while staring out of my window was the sudden change of the weather. Sky that was clear as the water on Antarctica, just became dark and full of clouds. In that moment I already knew, that I'm gonna have a problem. I quickly put on my shoes and just as I was about to leave the room, my door opened.

,,SYLVANA" said my mother ,,how many times do I have to repeat the same thing to you?"

She sighed and continued: ,,You know that I always tell you to do your chores as fast as possible, cuz you never k-"

,,Know when the weather is going to change and we already do not have enough money even with working" I smiled at my mom apologically ,, I know mom. Sorry. I just read a few pages of the book and lost the track of time. It won't happen again"

The look, that my mom gave me wasn't really nice, but don't take me badly. I love my mom. She's not a bad person. She just cares for me too much and wants me to feel fine and have enough money for my future. After my dad died, she stayed on everything alone. We don't really speak about dad. The truth is that I never even got to know his name. And mom never spoke too much nicely about him.

Finally my mom looked at me more lovingly.

,, Alright...you know that I love you. I want only the best for you" she said

,,I know mom" I replied while hugging her

,,Go try to make as much as you can, before it'll start raining" she stroked my hair. I pulled back and smiled at her. ,, Of course mom. Don't worry. You know that I enjoy the rain anyway" I laughed a little bit and ran down the stairs. I took my coat and went outside.
