"Jenna, what's 78 divided by 2?" I shrug.

"How am I suppose to know?" I ask laying my head on my hand.

"You might need this in life." He answers back. The same Answer he gives every day.

"Doubt it.." I mutter under my breathe.

It might seem like I'm stuck up, but really I'm just annoyed. I told my mom I wanted a pet but she won't get me one. So I'll have to ask my dad once I go to his house. Sadly, my mom has custody of me. I can only see my dad on weekends.
Since I'm 15, my mom acts like she can own my life.

Annoying.

***FRIDAY***

"Jenna! Hurry up your fathers waiting outside!" My mom Hollers from downstairs. I shove my phone back in my pocket and grab my bag.
"Coming!" I shout while jogging down the stairs.

"It's about time." My mom says, annoyed. I roll my eyes.

Once I get to the door my mom stops my dad from hugging me.
"Charles, remember, on Sunday I want her home before 8pm."

He nods and escorts me out the door. Once we get in the car we start driving.

We had some small talk... Not much.. Until I asked for the pet.

"So, honey, you know what you want for your birthday?" He asks, eyes focusing on the road.

"I really want a pet." I simply answer, chewing on the inside of my mouth.

"Have you asked your mom about it?"

"Yeah, but she doesn't want one. She said their too hard to take care of and this and that.." He nods like he understands.

"Yeah. Their like children."

I don't Answer back. What's there to say? Rather I shove my headphones back in my ear and focus on the music.
