We got to class and by the third period, sounds of mom and dad arguing Reechoed in my head. "Nadia! Nadia! Hello?! " Kaylee said shaking me incessantly. "yeah! What happened.... " I mumbled rubbing my eyes with the back of my Palm. "you slept through the class" she laughed. I chuckled dryly and got up. We left for our next class. Lunch time came before I knew what was going on. We headed for the cafeteria, got our lunch and sat at our usual spot. "oh my gosh! How can they feed us this... this slop! " Kaylee whined staring at her platter. " that's it. Starting tomorrow I'm gonna start bringing my own lunch. " she teased poking my shoulder. "let's just confirm its edible " I said optimistically. I tasted a spoon and immediately puked it out. "way to go Einstein. " Kaylee giggled. " yeah yeah, at least I'm not all whiny like" someone " " I said air quoting the "someone".
School was over soon so I hurried home since etc I hadn't even had lunch. I walked in to living room and found my dad talking to some suited dudes, not wanting to interrupt I quietly got a snack from the fridge and tiptoed upstairs to my room. I fell on my bed and heard foot steps approach my room door, followed by a knock. I lazily said " come in" and dad walked in.

"how's my favorite little kid doing" dad said playfully playing with my hair. " dad I'm your only kid " I responded taking a bite of my doughnut. " yeah, I know that. What I'm about to say might hurt you a bit"

What could be worse than hunger?

"what is it dad?" I asked still nibbling my food hungrily. "Your mother and I,... are getting divorced. "he said with several pauses.

WHAT?
"you're kidding right? " I asked sitting straight. " I'm serious. Listen, this is the best for you. " "how is this the best for me? This isn't the best for anybody... " I said yelling frantically. "Nadia, calm down.... I'm just trying to protect you... " "from what? Mom? " "precisely! She's dangerous, especially when she's drunk. " "you have no idea what you're saying dad. " "I do. I don't wanna come back from work one day and find your head broken "
My mom's not psychotic!!

"dad she's not gonna kill me! " I yelled standing up. "you can't be too sure... " " when did you make this decision? " I asked trying to calm down. "this morning. "

Tell me you're kidding
"why didn't I have a say in this? "
" cos you're too young to know anything about divorces. " dad said, rekindling my anger. " I'm too young, am I? When am I ever gonna be old enough? When I'm 50? " I said, my face red. " listen... " " does mom know about this? " I was gonna tell her this evening... " "you're so impossible!! " I said and walked out
