Thin lines between love and hate

Chapter 14

Dominique's POV:
I was so happy to be home I didn't know what to do, Monday is not my favorite day of the week only because we had all eight classes and I had 3 of them with Jessica. She really irks me, it's like she is asking for a beat down and trust me I would love to give her one all day every day, I bet that will shut her up. I sat at the kitchen getting ready to do my homework when Ray texted me

Text convo:
Ray: hey what you doing
Me: getting ready to do my math homework, what about you
Ray: getting ready to do my history 😰😖😒😢
Me: why those faces
Ray: I have to write a essay on the State of the Union address and it have to be 5 pages long AND it due tomorrow.
Me: I feel sorry for you
Ray: I feel sorry for me too and I thought you said you had to do the same essay?
Me: I do, but it's not due until next Monday
Ray: lucky 😔😣😖but anyway I'll see you later
Me: later
Text convo over:
I pulled out my math books and did my homework and thought to myself 'poor Ray' I told my self while letting out a slight chuckle. I finished up the rest of my homework when my mom walk through the door "hey sweetie" she said sounding tired " hey mom" I said as she sat on the couch letting out a sigh "you had a long too huh" I said packing my things and sitting on the couch next to her "yeah I did, but I love my job" she said with a chuckle " well, sweetie I'm going to go take a shower" she said taking her things upstairs with her "ok, but where's dad I thought he was getting off work early today" I asked " he decided to work a little overtime, but he called me before I got here and told me he was stuck in traffic, he should be home soon though ok" she said "ok" I said back collecting my things and heading to my room. I was getting tired so I decided to take a nap.

Ray's POV:
Man, I had so much homework to do it wasn't even funny especially because I had to do this dumb essay and having it due tomorrow just ruined everything thing. Listen, sometimes being a straight A student can be a lot work and doing tons of homework just makes it worse and I'm only on page  3 and I also have math and science homework to complete and its 5:30 now, so by the time I finish my homework I'm guaranteed to be in the bed 'why do teachers always give us tons of homework when we can do plenty of other things but nooo they have us 50,000 papers to do and expect it to all be done in one day...really' I said to myself getting frustrated.

It's now 7:30 and I am finishing up my last questions For math, " I am so tired I can just lay down on the kitchen floor" I said to myself as my dad walked through the door " hey son" he said removing his tie "hey" I said finishing my last math problem "what's wrong with you" he asked "nothing I'm just tired from doing all this homework" I said pointing to the papers in front me
"Wow" he said chuckling "that is a lot of homework" he said getting a bottle of water from the fridge "I know" I said putting my books in my bag "where's your mother" he asked standing next the kitchen counter taking another sip of water "she's sleeping, she said she had a headache and Dierra is upstairs watching a movie" I said heading up to my room "well lucky for you, you get to relax" my dad said taking a seat on the couch "shoot, forget relaxing I'm taking a shower then taking my butt to bed, goodnight" I said as I heard my dad let out a small laugh before I entered my room shutting the door behind me.

Now for some peace and quiet...
