"Jada your shoes you ordered are here honey" my mom yelled to me
I went down stairs and shook the box, Finally, I ran back upstairs to my room and threw the box on my bed, I looked out the window and watched the new family moving their belongings into the house across the street, I sat back on my bed and opened the box revealing my new Sneakers I ordered for school new week, it's my senior year and I want it to be perfect.
"Ay dork dad wants to see your shoes" my brother, Carson said peeking his head in my door way, I carried the box downstairs into the kitchen "your dads in his office, show him and go get cleaned up supper will be ready soon" my mom said to me
I nodded and walked into the living room and sat the box down on my dads desk, he took his glasses off and adjusted his tie, "they don't look like they will get your good grades" my dad said taking them out the box
"Daddy I really wanted them for a while everybody is getting them"
"Unacceptable, not to mention your last report card was unofficial, you had a B, Harvard doesn't care about your shoes they care about your grades"
I looked at him sadly and he turned away "don't try that look with me, you will not be wearing them to school"
I took the box upstairs and threw them in my closet, he doesn't let me go anywhere anyway so where else am I gonna wear them.
I went into the bathroom and washed my hands then went downstairs and sat at the table.
My mom put my plate in front of me and every one started eating, except me. "So jada what are your goals this school year" my dad asked causing everyone to look at me
"I don't know." I said lowly
"You don't know?" He asked with his eyebrows raised
"I meant to say, straight A's each quarter"
"Good choice, what else"
"Um, turn everything in on time"
"If you don't turn everything in on time then you won't get straight A's like you say you want to do, so what else"
"Babe that's enough" my mom chimed in
"No Jada tell me your school year goals, if you have any it should be that simple"
"Marcus what did I say" my mom snapped
"I'm going to bed" I said pushing my plate and getting up from the table I ran upstairs and slammed my bed room door, it's always me, why is he so hard on me, what did I do that was so bad, to make him so hard on me.
I eventually fell asleep over thinking everything, but the next week had been even worse he's forcing me to do online preparation classes, he even drove me to the new school I would be going to so I wouldn't "get lost and be late to do my homework", I'm tired of him, I'm tired of his bullshit with school, I'm tired of him forcing me to get good grades.
I sat in my bed thinking about to the outcome of tomorrow, first day of my junior year I'm probably gonna be embarrassed by my bitch of a dad, "Jada have you Did your laundry for school yet" My dad said coming into my room
This is gonna be a long week.
I walked into school feeling a little relieved my dad didn't come walk me to class or some weird stuff like that
I quickly went into the bathroom and changed our of my itchy sweater and skirt into a hoodie and jeans I put my new sneakers on and headed to my first class.
So far the day is going well and I've met new people I was waiting til the bell rung for my last period to see my best friend Carly , I haven't been able to hang out with her in a while because my dad wanted to get ready for school.
The bell rung and I hopped out of my chair grabbing my book bag and went to my last period where Carly was sitting in the back on her phone I went up to her and her eyes lighten she got up and it felt like the best thing ever when we hugged
"I haven't seen you since like, July" she said laughing
" I know my dad has been a pain in the butt lately"
"Ass"
"Butt"
"Why don't you say ONE cuss word for once"
"Because I don't like to cuss"
"Well tonight there's this party, I really wanna go-
"You know my dad wouldn't let me"
"Let me finish... I was going to tell your dad we have to finish a project"
"And he's gonna say finish it at my house"
"But then I'll tell him my mom really wants to help"
"He's not gonna buy that"
"He is just watch"
------
"I can't believe he bought that"
"Told you" Carly said driving back to her house
Once we got into her house,we immediately started to get ready for this party, Carly was a little too excited but she says it's the first party of the school year and everything is at its best, I mean how pumped can a party be?
"You ready" she looked at me excitedly about to unlock her car doors
We got out the car and the music was already loud and all you could smell was alcohol, my dad is gonna kill me.
