The bell went off and I brushed everything off my desk in my back pack and got up as I zipped it shut, I walked out the class and head for my locker, I walk down the hall avoiding bumping into anyone as I looked down at my scuffed sneakers, I needed a new pair soon, maybe I could take some of the money I made and buy them, I stop in front of my locker and open it taking out the books I needed as I thought it through, I had the rent to pay this month, then I had to get groceries and take care of some plumbing in the bathroom, the twins had a tour in a week and they needed money for that, and I had to help pay my tuition this month, my mom would look after the twins and half of mine, I needed to get Liam a new set of boots because he had torn his and the teachers were bugging me about getting him a new one and...

I sighed shaking my head as more of the things I needed to do with the money ran through my mind, there was no way I could get a new pair for a while I would have to make this do for a next month or two and maybe I would have to wear my basketball shoes for normal stuff if this wears out before I can get the money, Maybe I could do more nights, I shivered at the thought of having to endure that for more than a few nights a month, I bit my lip and closed in my locker, I walked down the hall and jogged down the stairs going to my next class, I stopped in my tracks hissing to myself when I realized I hadn't done the project that was due today, even after the teacher had given the entire class extra time to get it done, I was in so much trouble but I couldn't miss the class or that would be a hit on my attendance and things would only go down hill from there.

I sighed and walked through the open door, I didn't bother coming up with an excuse, the teacher never listened to anything I had to say, I don't know why but ever since the first day I ended up in her class she's been nothing but prejudice to me, why I didn't know but I didn't have time to care, I saw everyone sitting proudly with their projects and shook my head when I saw that Daren the class clown had even completed his project, it looked like shit, but he got it done, I walked to the back of the class and sat in my seat by the window, the loud click of heals sounded down the hall and I knew she was coming, the red haired woman with dull brown eyes walked into the room, her mouth in tight line, clad in a brown pants suit, her eyes roamed over the class and the corner of her mouth twitched as if she was going to smile, but then her eyes land on me and she frowns deeply making me shift uncomfortably.

"Jae Taney Best, where is you biology project?" everyone in class turned their attention to me and I shifted having the sudden urge to shrink into myself, I cleared my throat and she arched her brow chuckling as she shook her head "Honestly I saw that this was going to happen from a mile away, could never expect any better, especially with you having someone like Bridget as your mother, oh well, I did warn you that, that project is thirty percent of the marks for this class, but I guess you're okay with sitting out a few games for the season." she shrugged and I suddenly shot up going to say something when someone else spoke.

"You're really pathetic Alisa, using your malice against me on my son, but you could never expect anything better from a soulless boyfriend stealing ginger." I looked at my mother who stood at the door in a red jumper, jeans and tennis shoes, she looked tired to say the least but I was nonetheless happy to see her, especially with her holding a model of how the lungs worked in her hand, I know for sure I hadn't done it, but I blinked back the moisture in my eyes at the fact that she went out of her way to get that for me, even if she didn't do it herself.

She smiled at me and I made my way over to her "you forgot this on the dinning table, I know you were helping Mrs Darling with her garden but you need to remember things like this especially with it being thirty percent of your grade." I collected it and she got on her toes pressing a kiss to my cheek before she whispered "you're welcome."

I smiled and she turned her attention back to a still stunned looking teacher, she looked her up and with an unimpressed look on her face before she turned on her heels and walked out the class, I turned to the teacher and walked over placing the project in her hands before returning to my seat, there was an eruption of whispers in the class and I felt more relaxed with all the attention being placed on the embarrassed teacher.
