It's the next day
Another day of school
I want to be as closed up as possible, no Noah,no feelings just no anything !
Yes I know I said I'll give him a chance but I decided this way was better. It meant nobody got hurt, well... Except me but whatever.
I rush into mums car, we drive of and fortunately for me there is traffic, that's great because then Noah won't see me... Oh
Science if first... Of course it had to be first, just my luck.
-----DURING THE TRAFFIC-----
Mum " so how's school"
" schools is school"
"Sorry I couldn't ask yesterday, I had to take so many shifts to pay for you and the house"
"No you shouldn't be sorry, I'm sorry, for making you go through this "
"Oh be quiet, you didn't do anything wrong it's the other people doing you wrong... Seriously though how is school really?"
"Well I see not big bruises yet so it's going fine ... So far"
This feels weird , me and mum are talking but it's really awkward, I can't talk to her anymore, it doesn't feel  normal. Mum and I always goof around singing songs till we lose our voices, she kept me going and that's why I didn't go suicidal after every day.
But what we're doing right know. It feels like we don't know each other, she's trying and so am I to make it more normal to us but what's happened.
"The weathers nice isn't it darling"
"Yep...sure is "
"Yeah..."
"This is me, see you whenever you come back"
I can tell me saying that made mum's worn out smile go even more dragged.
