Cara Gomez's POV

  "Miss! Are you listening!?" A scold from a old lady bring me back to reality. I am still thinking about the scene lately in the school that was kinda embarrassing.

~flashback~

I was in front of the door of my  Physic Class when a giant man push me. "Ouch!" I rubbed my forehead which is now swollen. "Tsk. I told you not to show up to me right?" A familiar voice said. I look up and yes. It's him. It's Josh.

  "Do you need to push me?" I asked him as I lift my body up. "Shut up ugly-nerd" he rolled his eyes. Then, after that he took a sit.
  The other students look at me and I saw them chuckled. Some students keep on whispering to each other. Err. That's so embarrassing. I told myself.

I search for a chair and finally I found one. I still couldn't move on. I felt embarrassed infront of many people.

  I then felt someone sit on the empty chair beside me. I look at that person and I saw a pretty girl smiling at me.

"Hi!" She waved her hand. I look at her and smiled abit I still don't know her. I just remember my mom told me not to talk to stranger when I was a kid. I'm scared that what if she's a bully.

"Hey! I'm Michelle Paterson!" She introduced herself. Should I talk to her or not? Err fine. I don't want her to think that I'm snob.

"Hello Michelle I'm Cara Gomez" I introduce myself then smiled at her she smiled back and said, "Hey, what are you reading?" She asked while pointing the book I was holding. "Its all about Kinetic Theory" I answered.

"You must be really a bookworm Cara" she said. "Yeah, that's why I'm bullied" I said as I lookdown. "Tsk. They are just insecure but, your pretty anyways." She said and shoot me a comforting smile.

"Thank you Michelle It's nice to meet you" I muttered and smile at her.

After physics I packed my thing. I was about to exit when someone block my way. I look at him and here it goes again. Josh.

I look at him and raised my brows. "What?" I asked him. What did I do again? Err. "I just wanna say you're so ugly" after saying those he walk away.

"Tsk. So immature" I murmurs. "Who's immature?" I look at my back and saw Troy. "Josh. He's the immature ones" I rolled my eyes.

~End of flashback~

That's the reason why I'm in a bad mood.

"Cara!" Ah Oh.. it's ma'am Jane the owner Of this café. "Ma'am" I whispered. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! THE CUSTOMERS ARE COMPLAINING! YOU DIDN'T EVEN WRITE THEIR ORDERS!" ma'am scolded me. Hays. What a unlucky day for me.

"I--- I'm sorry ma'am. I promise, it will never happened again" I apologize while looking down. "Just make sure miss Gomez." I nodded my head and I get back to work.

After my work I changed my clothes in a white short and wear a long sleeve then a rubber shoes but, my eyeglasses and my braces are still in. And I will never forget my book!

  I wait for a bus and was about to open my book when I realize it's dark. I can't see anything so I decided to open my phone and turn my earphones on.

  "Argh. I've been waiting here for  10 minutes but, even a one bus never pass" I told myself then, I yawned. I'm so tired.

  'Pip Pip!'

I lift my chin up and Yes! A bus stopped! I went inside the bus and took a seat. I rest my head and I started to close my eyes.

***AT Home~

  "Hey Mom" I said as I saw my mom sewing a cloth. "Cara you're home" she smiled. "Mom, I told you to go to sleep early, right?" I said as I sit beside her.

"Cara.. I'm sorry" she said as she looks down. "Why mom?" "I should be the one who's working for you and your sister but, here I am. Sleeping. I can't even do anything just to help you." She said then I saw her eyes watery. I can't stand seeing my mother cry.

"Shh. Don't say sorry mom. It's my work not yours. Don't cry mom. Please" I said while hugging her. Mom and Suzy is my everything. "Where's Suzy anyways?" I asked as I separated from our hug.

"She's upstairs. Sleeping tight. Go to sleep Cara sweetie. I know your tired, Good Night" she said then she kisses my forehead. "I will mom. Go to sleep also okay? Did you take your medicine? " she nodded her head for respond and said, "Yes, I already did honey" she smiled.

"Good mom. I'm going upstairs okay? Good night mom" after that I went upstairs. Then, throw my bag everywhere and jump to my bed then I hug my pillow.

   I don't wanna go to school tomorrow I'm scared to get bullied but, I have to for my mom and for Suzy. They trust me.

I put my eyeglasses on the side table then, I rubbed my eyes. Aww. I'm going to sleep I still have to work and Study. What a life~ Tomorrow is another day.
