*His Only*

Home Sweet Home.

- Start packing your bag Rian, you gotta get home."

Okay. I'm not going to start packing up just because she asked me to.
- What's up, Sacmis?" I asked.
​- You need to meet Mrs.Parks. She has something news for you."

I rush outside, and ran to Mrs.Parks' office. She was our Dean. I found the door shut, so I knocked.
- Come in!" I heard the familiar voice of Mrs.Parks from inside. I open the door and walk in.

- Mrs.Parks, is something wrong?" I asked,worried.

- Yes, Ms.Daley. There is some good news for you along with some bad one. Which one would you like to hear first?" She asked.

- The bad news."

- Well, the bad news is, that your Mom has got hospitalized and well, you are needed by her side." She let it sink in. I was shocked. No one even messaged me!- The good news, on the other hand is, that you've passed in your fourth year exam! With distinction that is! So even if you leave, you don't need to come back!"

At first,I was wondering what she was talking about, but then I realized. Last year when I was going to sit for my Second Year exam, I was told to take the Third Year exam along with it. So as to lessen my years at the university. So I took. But the examiner, made a mistake. He swapped the Third Year Exam question paper, with the Fourth Year Exam question paper. So instead of giving the exam for the Third year, I gave the exam for the Fourth year. So I managed to pass a year earlier.

​I managed to thank Mrs.Parks for leaving me early and I ran off to my dorm to pack my bags.
Sacmis wasn't there but her ever present boyfriend was there.

- What was the matter?" He asked.
- I passed in my art examination." I answered.
- Congrats! So they're letting you leave in the middle of the year?"
- Yeah... Because my mom got hospitalized. I don't know for what."
- I'm sorry." So the jerk is not such a jerk after all.
- You don't need to apologize if its not your fault."

Few hours later, I found myself on an airplane, taking me back to New York. In a few hours, I reached Brooklyn. I went straight home. Dad's home. My Dad was home, much to my surprise.

- Hi dad! How's Mom? I hope she's alright. Could you please tell me what happened exactly? Where is she exactly hospitalized?" I started questioning him. He just stood and stared. Then he found words.

- Rian? What are you doing here?!" He managed. I stared at him. Then, I slowly started explaining the whole situation to him.

- What? But don't you know, Mom has gone to Australia with your stepdad."

- What?" I asked completely bewildered. Suddenly Nick came down.

- I didn't expect the call to work!" He exclaimed, pale-faced.Suddenly, I understood what had happened. Nick had dared to prank call my school, wondering if they would fall for it. That idiot. I know this, because he had done it once before. And the people had fallen for it.Looking at Dad, I saw him catch up with the situation.

- Nick Daley! You're grounded. And no mobile for a week." Dad's tone had finality in it.

Whatever it was, I was back home.

Home Sweet Home.
