How i got here

Cole's POV

'Cole honey, check the mails in the mail box. Anyone that looks like a bill letter don't bring it in'. Mum said while doing our laundry.

She had this mind set that we were going to move to California so she didn't need to pay the bills.

So I went to the mail box and did as she said, got only the letters not bills.

I placed on the table and she ran her fingers through all of them and got out one that had a seal.

I looked at my mother and she looked back at me with a shocked expression like she-can't - believe - it kinda look.

She looked at the letter and back at me.

'Ugh aren't you going to open it already?' I said getting off the stool I was seating on.

Then she suddenly said ' why not open it Hun? Open it, c'mon '.

What!! She was just excited 'bout it and suddenly she wants me to open it.

What a weird woman.

I snatched it from her and opened the letter ...congrats Cole Peterson you have admission into the University of California, America.

WT****

So my mom as always got away with everything going her own way.

'Mum what the **** is this huh ?' I'd already applied for a university here in New York since I know most of the people going there .

'How dare you talk me in that manner or tone?'she was flaring.

Once again, mom-1, Cole -0.

She starts getting all mom on you when she wants to get her way. Which has worked quite a lot, actually every time .

I scan through the letter again and find out that, I actually got a football scholarship.
I guess in one of those games I played last season,I really did impress the scouts.

Sue me but I've got a terrific life here in New York . My dad left a huge mass of wealth so, my mom's kinda filthy rich and I'm  leaving  the  life. Throwing parties like I'm f***ing Obama.

So I get a football scholarship into UCLA and now I have to move to the damn place and to top it all my mum gets a job offer from a soap producing company as a dermatologist to do f*** knows.

It's funny how my mom has always been there since like ever. She hasn't quite accepted that I'm growing into a man and makes me seem like I'm still a baby.

Trust me when  I say my mum hasn't been exactly the coolest mum ever. I mean 3rd grade, she brought me to school in p-j's and said,
"Honey, that's the style in vogue." The f!!k.

I didn't have those home sickness stuff kids had because they missed their mum. I as hell didn't even want her around me in public.

I was called 'momma's lil boy' in kindergarten because my mom never left me alone.
   "Whose your momma's lil boy. That's you pumpkin."she used to say.
"Go away already" I'd say pouting.
 
In 6th grade, for prom she made me wear suspenders and bugged my date as she drove us to school. She was so f***ing annoying . She asked my date not to break my heart and other totally uncool stuff.

It had to stop after I entered middle school.

"Mum, you don't need to take me to school anymore . Could you just do  me a favour and pack my lunch? I could go with the bus or my friend could take me. She turned down the gas cooker and peered at me.

"I've got enough gas so, why can't I take you?"

"Because mum..." I trailed off ,not staring at her I muttered under my breathe, "I'm in 8th grade and you're my mum."

She heard it clearly because I could see tears sting her eyes making them look oogly.
" you're embarrassed of me, ain't you?

"No mom. It's just ...you've been with me like forever and I just want a skateboard which is use to go to school without having my mom treat me like a baby."

"Well you're my baby."

"Mom!!!!" I said seriously trying to use the innocent puppy dog eyes that always work on her.

"Fine." She turned back to what she was cooking.

Well, from then on it's been pretty cool not having my mom tag along.
She never misses my games since I started playing football. She even bought me a private trainer..

She was slowly allowing me to grow up since she let me do stuff like throw parties.

My mom had a bakery and used to bake a lot considering I was fat af in middle school.
No one would have ever wanted to do me. The cool kids then never invited me to their parties except I was the clown. My friends invited me to their own parties buh then again, watching them make out with their girlfriends grossed me out and also made me feel like trash. I worked on my body and lost a lot of fat and high school was a bliss.

"Is that...oh my gosh!" Yeah, girls couldn't resist me. I was getting f!!king notes everyday. The hottest girl in school started flirting with me.

"Hey Cole bear." She traced her finger along my jaw line.
I wasn't really interested buh hey for f!?k sake she's the hottest girl in school. I became a jock and slept with different cheerleaders every week.
