Spirit of Judgment

I got accepted!?

I walked outside the place i call hell and got in my father's old pick up truck when i noticed a group of people come out of the front door and started heading towards me, 'oh great' i sighed and just as i started the car i saw someone standing behind my vehicle. I groaned and leaned back in my seat just as the leader of the group came to my window "roll the window down freak or i will bust it open" i knew i had to do what he said or he would and i didn't want my father's window to be destroyed since it's the only thing i have left of him. I rolled the window down and ended up being punched in the face.

I heard laughing as the group of bullies walked away and left me with a bloody nose. I got a bag of tissues that i had stored into the truck and used it to wipe up the blood before throwing it out the window, rolling it up, and backing out of the parking lot before heading home to my mother...who's not even home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I placed my bag near the door and called out my wolf's name "Kaleth!" Yes, that's right. A wolf. My mother got him for me when i told her i didn't want to be left alone, especially at night since i have nightmares. I heard pounding foot steps coming from upstairs and when i saw it was Kaleth i smiled and hugged him around the neck as he licked my cheek "nice to see you again too buddy, how have you been?" He whined and licked the very tip of my nose as he noticed the small spot of blood under my nose. "I know buddy i let them do it again, but if i didn't they would have broken my father's window and i wasn't going to allow that to happen".

He whined again, but didn't stop licking my cheek as i continued walking to the kitchen to make me some dinner and leave some for my mom since i knew she wasn't going to be home until early the next morning where she would switch to her second job at the hospital. I didn't know why she had to work so many hours and barely be home to even say hi to her own daughter, but...if she wanted to do this to herself i didn't care. I walked back outside with Kaleth in the door way as he watched me get the mail and come back inside.

I looked through the mail and when i found my name i placed the rest of the mail on the kitchen counter while i opened up mine. It was from the elite Hidden Valley Private School meant only for the super rich. My heart was beating in my chest as i opened the letter and read it to myself,

"Greeting Ms. Kim, this letter is to hereby say that you are accepted into Hidden Valley Private School for excellent grades and outstanding interaction with others and clubs that give you a better start for your future. I look forward to hearing from you and there will be another letter coming your way for school supplies that you will need for the school next year. I hope you have a good day and enjoy the rest of your time at your home before you move into your new home here at Hidden Valley Private School.

Sincerely, your Headmaster,

Mrs. Holster.

A huge smile came onto my face and i jumped onto Kaleth and squealed into his fur as i told him "i got accepted Kaleth! I get to go to the private school that only accepts the super rich! I'm so excited Kaleth!" I laughed as i hugged him super tight, but not tight enough to where he couldn't breath of course. I have to tell mother when she gets home, was the thought in my head as my excitement took a double turn.

I waited for two hours for my mother to get home, but...she didn't come. She was supposed to be home thirty minutes ago. I started getting worried and decided to call her work just in case she decided to work over time like most of the time. I picked up the home phone and dialed my mother's work. The phone range for about 1 minute before someone decided to pick up "hello, my name is Kelly Anderson and this is the Mid City Hospital how may i help you?" I took a sigh of relief when i heard my mother's voice and her name "hey mom it's my Kim, i just wanted to know if you would make it home soon since i want to tell you something important".

I told her, but it seemed like my hope is always crushed "oh i'm sorry honey, but i'm working over time today, maybe you can tell me tomorrow when i get off at 2?" I sighed again and made sure no sadness was in my voice as i told her it was okay "yeah it's fine mom you have work to do and i understand that, love you" i hung up the phone before i could hear my mothers' voice again. I took a deep breath as tears stung my eyes, somehow i just knew my mother was going to blow me off as usual since all she wants to do is work and not even spend time with her only child.

Ever since dad died I've been on my own since mother stuck herself to working to forget all about my dad and only worry about patients and kids. I just don't understand how people could act like this just to forget about someone they love that died sometime ago. My father was the love of my mothers life and she was ready to have kids with him once they got married. I came just a year later, and my mother told me that i was the sunshine to her world and that i could always make her smile with just one look.

That changed once mother got word that father got killed by a group of gang members that were raiding the streets one day and my father got caught in the middle of it all. I didn't talk to anybody for a year before i finally uttered one single word that turned into many when my mother begged me to talk and at least give her a sign that her daughter was still there. I knew my dad would never want me to turn into a silent girl that has a wondrous voice (his words, not mine) and a smile that could light up a whole town (still his).

That's when i finally talked for the first time in a year and my mom was so happy she threw a party for just her and me. That was the first time that i smiled after my dads death, but...ever since then my mother has become a workaholic and hasn't tried anything that she used to do with me again.

"I just wish for once for my mother to come home and be with me again" I whispered into Kaleth's fur as i cried myself to sleep that night as i clenched the acceptance letter in my hands.
