I stand up quickly and put my homework in my drawer. I just finished it anyway.

"Hey mom." I open the door and smile.
"Hey..! how's schoolwork? Do you still need a bit more time?" She asks.
"Oh, no, no, I just finished actually. I tried to finish as soon as I could." I smile.
"Oh great!" Mom grins, immediately pulling me into a hug.
"Happy birthday!!!" She exclaims.
I almost forgot it was my own birthday today. I'm turning 15.
"Heheh, thanks Mom." I smile a little as she pulls away.
"I managed to leave work just a little early so I could see you..!" She smiles as she starts to go downstairs.
"I was wondering why you were home early." I say, shutting my door behind me, following her down the stairs.
Moms continued working at Epiderm prep again. The last 2 years she was kind of unemployed helping me with my schoolwork. She became my teacher in a way.
She ended up buying some curriculum sheets that I do as homework and I've been doing quite good. If anything I feel like I've actually been doing better at schoolwork. Probably because since I'm homeschooled distractions are limited.
Furthermore, I think when mom realized I was doing pretty good and all I needed to do was follow instructions on a paper, she let me be my own teacher in a way. I just did the work I needed to on a paper.
This year, I'm technically a freshman in high school. I would have been going to St. Epiderm, in fact, they asked me if I wanted to.
I said I didn't. I was kind of nervous to be honest, Ive been growing used to how the homeschooled life was.
Also I'd be afraid to go back.
Because what if they're there?
What would they be like now?
...
Even if they were, I shouldn't be as worried because... the severity of how poorly treated our faith has been has started to die down. If they were there I don't think they would try to do anything bad.
People sort of look at it and just keep their bad opinions about it inside. Which is better at least. No one particularly looks at us in a good light though. At least there hasn't been any violence or bullying.
