Today was the last day my mom was staying home, and it was also today she made me go back to school.

I was still bruised but I could take it now, and she had enough of my "staying home because I'm no longer sick and I'm just making up excuses"

In the morning, she came to my room screaming "get your lazy butt out of bed!" She went to my drawers and threw clothes at me, including my shoes from my closet. I moved the clothes, and saw she was in my bathroom, not sure what she was looking for but it wasn't the first time I had seen her in here snooping.

"What are you looking for?" I said,

She just ignored me and continued to search my bathroom. I got up, and walked to the bathroom. She was now going threw the cabinet above the sink that had my medicine in it. She pulled out s bottle of Tylenol; she opened it, looked inside, then closed it.

"What are you looking for?" I repeated, but again no answer.

She pushed me out of the way, then headed towards my closet. She began looking at the stuff that sat above my hangers and clothes. To the boxes that I couldn't reach at just by standing.

She began tearing down things, and making a mess everywhere.

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR!" I screamed

She turned to me, face red as a fire truck. She looked at me dead in the eye and said

" you know what I'm looking for. Your just a little whore, sleeping around with everyone. I'm ashamed to have you as a daughter"

I knew she wasn't the greatest mom, I know she wasn't always there for me, but that just down right hurt. I didn't know what to say to her. All I could do was stare at her, I knew I wasn't a whore and she had no right to be calling me that, but what ever reason it was, she was furious about it.

"What, nothing to say? Too stunned to say anything." She made it sound like it was a joke or something.

"Whatever. Your not staying home anymore. Get ready for school, if I hear you skipped school again, that's it your out of the house for good."

"What ever." I gave her the best pokerface I could. I grabbed clothes that were hanging up and went to the washroom to get changed. When I got out she was no longer in the room. I looked towards the clock on my desk, it said '9:45'

Well I was definitely late for school already, so it really didn't matter how fast I walked to school. I grabbed my bag that sat on the ground, stuffed some of the books I had on my desk.

It felt like bricks were in my bag, but that was usual. I began to walk down the stairs when I could hear my mom talking. I didn't know where, but it didn't matter. I went straight to the door, and didn't look back.

Once I got to the school, people were still in class, but it was about time for lunch. Yay.

I walked to my locker, and saw the notes all over it. 'Whore' 'slut' 'scank' 'kill yourself' 'no body' 'witch' 'suicide' and those were either repeated or just were hiding under other notes. I opened my locker and I found more notes, I didnt open any, or read any. I just picked them up and threw them all out.

The bell rang and I just waited for josh. But when I saw him, I saw him talking to some jock.

They seemed to be getting along till the jock noticed me.
