Chaos Angels

A new start

Sofia's POV

I just finished my last class online, sometimes a tutor would come at my house to teach me or when I have to pass an exam. It was the case today I was with my tutor, Mrs Fletcher. She was really glad to be with me for my last lesson and a bit sad because through the years we got to know each other very well. I could see in her eyes I was going to miss her during summer vacation but what she didn't know actually is that I was expected to take a different path.
"So this was our last lesson of the year you're going to be in high school... At home. It's going to be a bit different, do you have any questions for next year ?"
She said while grabbing some papers in her bag.
"Umm.. I wanted to tell you about this... I don't think I'm going to be homeschooled any more."
I looked at my feet scared she could be mad at me, I didn't want to disappoint her.
"Ohh did your parents change their mind ?"
She lets down her papers trying to meet my gaze. She seemed very keen so I let my eyes meet hers.
"That is the point. They don't know yet... I mean mostly my dad since he spends his time in Chicago shooting and when I try to talk with my mom she tries to convince me that I should continue..."
I sighed.
"I'm supposed to see your parents hereafter I don't know if your dad will be around I know that your mother is very in charge of your education so I may talk to her if you agree ?"
She proposed.
"But I don't want to bother you Miss Fletcher..."
I looked at the tiled floor again. She put a hand on my shoulder
"Listen Sofia, I know you since you were this height"
she paused to show me how little I was, she smiled and continued
"Now you've grown into such a beautiful young lady I could see that you were less eager when I was here to teach you, you were more and more distracted and less talkative. I know that your situation makes you sad being around adults all the time. All I want is to see my little Sofia-Rose smile again, you deserve the best."
I didn't want to raise my hope up but I was truly overwhelmed by how she treated me, her kindness was precious, she didn't saw me as a rich snob kid but as normal human being trying to live a simple life and she wanted to help me. I couldn't help myself but I was smiling like an idiot  for like 2 minutes and all I was able to say was "Thank you" as my voice started to crack with emotion. Then I heard someone yelling
"Sofia did you finish your lesson ?"
It was my mom. As she was making her way to the living room she started to raise her voice again
"I have something for you baby!"
The sound of her heels were getting closer she entered the living room searching something in one of her packages till she faced us
"Oh hello Mrs Fletcher I'm sorry I hope I didn't interrupt anything."
She said a little embarrassed.
"Absolutely not we just finished don't worry Mrs Kinney!"
She smiled and cleared her throat
"I was wondering, we were supposed to see each other to make the point about your daughter's studies can we make it now if you have no problem with it ?"

" Yes of course, do you have the papers where I can sign for next year please ?"
My mom didn't get Mrs Fletcher's hint which was she wanted to talk with her without me around.
"Hmm, yes! Maybe we can talk about it in my office ?"
She suggested.
My mom did a hand sign to follow her. By making her way to my mom's office Mrs Fletcher turned her head and winked at me, I put my fingers up in the air crossed them and biting my lower lip at the same time, she smiled back. As I saw their figures disappear in the stairs I joined the two palms of my hands together and closed my eyes. It was at this moment  I hoped with all my heart that my mother wouldn't be mad at me and will listen to what Mrs Fletcher has to say I really trust her I know there is so much more things she wanted to talk about me to my mom, she seemed to be really concerned.

Mrs Fletcher's POV

We made our way to Mrs Kinney's office, I couldn't leave the smile on my face when I looked upon the large luxurious room with frames mainly on the walls, chimney and Mrs Kinney's desk. I always knew her family and friends were important for her she truly has a good heart, she even considers some of her friends as her family. I thought it was very cute the way this tiny strong woman managed to keep her beloved ones with her. I smiled even more when I saw there were more photos of her daughter on her desk than anyone else. Of course there was one of her husband with her and their daughter, they all laughed on it. I can tell that Sofia is Stefani's world but with her own fears she stifles her daughter's social and emotional growth. Stefani got me out of my thought
"You can sit down Mrs Fletcher."
We sat down and she asked me with a concerned look
"What did you wanted to talk about ? Is there a problem with my daughter ?"
"Well nothing wrong for school Mrs Kinney she perfectly succeeded, she worked hard even if I noticed some weakness sometimes I tried my best as her teacher to heartened her because I know she has all the skills to succeed. I observed that she changed a lot through the years she is more an introvert and she changed a lot her style, she always wears loose clothes that doesn't fit her. There is definitely something she is very upset about, that's the reason why I wanted to talk to you as fast as possible." Stefani looked at me more frustrated, I guess it was the what do you say about my child look. "My daughter wants to stop being homeschooled but are you saying that she hides something to me ?"

"Will you let her go to a private high school ? I think she makes herself sick, she expressed to me her desire to meet people of her age and be more independent but she thinks you don't trust her."
Stefani furrowed her brows
"We didn't have the chance to talk about it with her I mean... I didn't let her..."
She realized she didn't pay much attention to her daughter's wish and continued more relax
"But I will. It's not that I don't trust my daughter it's just... I'm scared for her because of the people outside."
Here we are, I was right when I thought she let her fears on her daughter, all she wanted was to protect her from the fame but she couldn't let her live like this, this kid already lost her joy of life. We talk about for an hour, before I leave I took Sofia in a hug and she closed the door behind me.

Sofia's POV

The more Mrs Fletcher was with my mom in her office the more I got anxious, I couldn't hear anything. After one hour I finally heard Mrs Fletcher walking down the stairs smiling at me, she took me in her arms and told me that she is happy to know a girl like me. I escorted her to the door and I heard my mom "Sofia can you come please ?"
My eyes widened, I got paralyzed for two seconds I didn't know what she was going to tell me after her talk with my teacher. I was scared to confront her. "Yes mom" I replied faintly.
