"Soooo... how was the carvial?" Mom asked as soon as I entered the house.

"It was alright," I said, hiding my smile.

"Need more information," She said, coming closer.

"And no more information for you," I said, going upstairs to my room.

"And if you must know more, I enjoyed the carnival, and it was fun. Thanks for the idea. Love you night." I turned back to wave and ran up to my room.

Okay.... today was a pretty long day, and nothing that happened today was under my control. I can't believe I went on a real date with Mark like no longer .......

Gabby:*Hi*...  The notification on my phone.
Me:*Where have you been, Gabby*.... I responded to Gabby.
Gabby :*There was an emergency, so I had to go*
Me:*What was the emergency? Is your mom fine, or is it your sister? *
Gabby:*No no none it was just a meeting with an important brand, and I forgot all about them, so my manager came to pick me up*
"Me:*Cool, but I thought your mom is your manager*
Gabby:*well, she has employed a manager for me as she is now doing her own thing but enough about me......spill*
Me:*Spill....what??*
Gabby:*Don't act dumb*
Gabby:*the date, of course??*

Something is up with Gabby. I don't know what because she is not telling me anything anymore.

"Good morning, sweetheart," Mom shouted loudly.

"Let me sleep," I said, covered my ears

"No more sleep, dear," Mom said, pulling the covers.

"Why Why why?" I asked, crying

"Because you have to go to school," Mom said, dragging me from my bed.

"I go there every day. Let me sleep for some more," I said, pushing myself to the bed.

"I am going on a trip," Mom blurted out.

"You got to be kidding me," I said while standing from the bed.

"No, you are not," I said, not smiling.

"I have to go not like it is for a vacation or anything it is for work," Mom explained.

"Turn it down," I said, arranging my bed.

"I can't, I want to go," Mom said, sitting on my vanity chair.

"Not at this time," I said, looking at her.

"You went for a brand trip. Why not me?" Mom shouted.

"Mom, we are not the same and cancel that trip because you are not going okay." I screamed and slammed the bathroom door.

"Today is going to be a drag," I said to myself while facing the mirror.

After, the outfit I pulled yesterday, I felt a little pressure to dress well but I am too angry for that so I settled for a black crop top, a black skinny jeans, combat boots with a with heel and to top it with  my dad's favourite leather Jacket and for make up red lip with mascara will be a enough with my hair in loose curls because Why not.

"Somebody looks like she is going to start a motorcycle gang with tough guys and dropout students," Mom commented as I entered the kitchen.

"Not in the mood," I said as I cut my toast.

"I know from immediately you started playing rock and roll music in your room, and now you look like you are in a band.... ummm, the knuckleheads or the won't let me live my life band.... " Mom said, giving me a look.

"Only if I see the doctor's note and a well packed meds then I will miss you when you are on the trip but if I don't I will make sure all the cars have a flat tire and passport stolen with a broken phone" I threatened not looking at her.

"Of course there is," Mom said, going through her phone.

" It is alright what of Meds?" I asked after looking at the report.

"Here," I said, looking at a well organised med case filled with all her medicines.

"I will call you to make sure you take them and call me when you get there," I said, kissing her cheeks.

"Enjoy," I said and turned to the door.

"Take care, love you," She shouted, and i stopped and turned to look at her.

"Love you too, mom," I said with tears with my eyes and closed the door.

"Is that red?" I heard of the girls in my last year chem class asked another.

"Who is this hottie?" I heard another guy ask as he looked at me in a funny way.

"Hot girl alert," Aaron said. The guys came into view.

"Hi guys," I said, smiling as I saw all my favourite people looking at me.

"Hey, looking good, I almost did not recognise you," Mark said as I stood by my side.

"Thanks," I said as I saw the others talk like we didn't exist.

"I texted you yesterday and this morning when you didn’t show up this morning," He said as I looked for my phone in my bag.

Mark:*I enjoyed today, and I hope you did too♡♡*

"Ooh, sorry, I am on the no phone until I am in school thing," I said, looking at my phone.

"And I did enjoy yesterday," I added.

"You were not at practice this morning," Jack said, and all the guys looked at me.

"Well, my punishment is over, so no more morning practice for me," I said, very looking at them, they were not so happy.

ENJOY♡♡
