Chapter 6: Kinda Rich...Kinda

Mia's POV

"You know Emma Alonso! Me too." he said.

"Huh?"

"I met her. Earlier. I ran into her in the hallway."

"She the only one you've bumped into today?"

"Yeah.Why?"

"Nothing. It's just like what I said before, I bumped into 4 people today..kinda"

"It's our first day. You don't know your way around the school-wait. You didn't get a tour guide?"

"I didn't want one. I felt like nobody would even volunteer to show me around."

"Mia, You're Beautiful. I know that, You know that even that guy at the bakery knows that."

"Easy for you to say Mr. Popular, Mr. Athletic, Mr. Handsome, Mr. Smartie Pants, not smarter than me of course."

"Yeah, nobody's smarter than you Mia. I get it."

"Do you remember in the 7th grade when we were the last two at the spelling bee and you chickened out because you knew that I was going to win." I said laughing.

"I didn't chicken out, I just wanted you to win."

"Yeah, okay..whatever you say." I said as we walked up to my house. Did I forget to mention, we're kinda rich. My dad sends us money so that he could be a "father" 5000 miles away with his other family. He bought us a house, a car! We even used to have maids, Mom and I decided to keep Teresa. Anyways, ever since my dad left us, 7 years ago, he's been doing the same thing over and over again. I do get to see him though, like every 9-10 months! I know right and when we do see each other, he's usually on his phone with my stepmonster. But ever since the 9th Grade, I stopped it, for good. I don't want anything to do with him after what he did! He-I don't want to talk about it. But it killed me! And I told him to stop sending us money but he still sends. He even offered to pay for a new look. I'm fine with who and what I am!

"See you tomorrow?" Daniel said.

"You're not coming in?" I asked him.

"Nah, I gotta go."

"Ok, Bye." I said walking in and he walked away.

"I'M HOME!" I yelled walking in.

"Mia? Is that you honey?"

"Yeah, it's me mom!" I said walking into the kitchen then kissing her cheek, she was cooking with the help of Teresa, she's our top "maid" and my pal!She's been with us ever since my dad left. "Hi Teresa." I said sitting on the counter.

"Hi Mia. How is school?" she said. She is Mexican, she moved here to find a job so that she could send money to her 7 children back in Mexico! I know right! I speak fluent Spanish but mom wants her to learn english so that she could adapt to our world.

"It was ok. I guess."

"What happened sweetie?" Mom said.

"You won't believe any of it! I bumped into 4 people and then the second to the last one ended up in a girly fight or something!"

"You've been through worse." Teresa said

"I know. I'm just happy Daniel wasn't there."

"Why?" Teresa asked.

"Because ever since we became friends he's been losing his popularity."

"And?" Mom said.

"And this is his last year in high school, I want him to live it without him being destroyed by my geekiness."

"He chose to be your friends remember? And I'm sure he won't allow this." Mom said.

"Exactly why I avoid him until everyone's gone and if he asks I'll just say that I was busy with school. He'll understand."

"But-" Mom said before Teresa interrupted her.

"I think Mia is right. And I think she needs to start making her own decisions. She's graduating this year. She needs to learn." she said

"Thank You." I said. "Now, I'll be upstairs doing my homework. Just call me when dinner's ready." I added standing up and walking upstairs. After dinner, I got ready for bed, slipped into my warm and comfy sheets then turned on my reading light and read Romeo and Juliet. ANd once I felt sleepy, I went to bed.
