          "Hello? May I speak with Mrs. White?" Daniel asked.
"This is. How can I help you?" She asked.
"Your daughter asked to leave the premises to visit, and I just thought I'd call to tell you that she will not be allowed to visit you anytime soon" he said.
"And why not?" She demanded.
"Celia is now required to study mannerisms with all her free time, and is not allowed to have any visits outside the school at any circumstance, due to her persistent attitude. I'm sorry, but we've made up our minds. Have a nice day" he said, hanging up the phone.
"You're really sticking your neck out for her I see" the principal said.
"I have to, who knows what'll happen?" He responded.
"Well, do what you want, but I'm not getting involved. If she calls back, I'm busy, got that?" She said.
"Of coarse" he said. "Thank you Ms. Gretchen" he finished before leaving.
I had been waiting for Daniel to come back, as I hold my doll.
"Good news, you don't have to go home anytime soon" Daniel announced.
"Daniel, what did you do?" I asked, getting off the desk. "You didn't tell her, right?"
"I may or may not have lied a bit" he responded. I gasped dramatically.
"Daniel! How dare you? Lying is wrong! Now drop your pants and assume position!" I scolded. Daniel laughed and ruffled my hair.
"Jokes on you, I got permission from the principal" he teased. I stick my tongue out at him and laughed.
"Anyway, are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah" I replied.
"Why didn't you ever tell me?" He asked.
"Tell you what? Daniel you need to work on being more specific!" I said.
"Why didn't you tell me she was abusive?" He asked.
"I only met you a few weeks ago! I don't go around telling strangers information like that! Besides, she'd kill me if she ever found out I told" I said.
"I know but-"
"Just drop it" I said with a sigh. Adults are so nosy and pushy. "You've already done a lot, so thanks, but I don't think it's your place to try and solve my problem. I've dealt with it long enough, so don't butt in" I said.
"Celia-"
"Let's start the training so we can get it over with! The principal said I only have until the end of this month to improve" I reminded. Daniel sighed and dropped it, and then the training began.
After practice, I rushed Daniel out of my dorm room. I showered and did my homework before going on my phone.

'Hey, how's school?' I looked at the text confused.
'Who's this?' I responded.
'I'm your mom's sister' they answered.
'You expect me to believe that? I'm not a dumb ass like you' I wrote.
'Calm your tits and listen! I'm your mom's sister, but she doesn't know me so don't tell her about me,got that?' She responded. I sighed and wrote back.
'Fine, what do you want?' I asked. 'And how did you get my number? How do you even know who I am?' I added.
'Wanna call? I can explain it better talking rather than texting' she suggested. I thought about it, and decided to accept her offer, making sure my location wasn't showing while I called her.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey" a girls voice responded.
"Why do you sound so..."
"Young? I'm younger than you. I'm only 12" she responded. "But never mind that! Let me explain things to you, and then I'll answer questions. So shut up and listen" she said. "Anyway, my name is Rosemary, and I'm 12 years old! When your mom's mother died, your grandpa remarried to a younger, rich girl, named Daniella. They did a little dance and then made me! Your mom lost contact with my dad after your grandma died, which is why you and your mom never knew about me. But I heard about your mom being such a mean lady, so I told my best friend Maya to help you! My dad told my mom about all the crazy things your mom did to you, and I overheard them. I felt bad, so I talked to Maya while we were alone at the park and told her what I heard. She told me she wanted to help you, and at first I didn't want her to...because I knew I'd never see her again, and she was my best friend...but she really wanted to, so I didn't stop her. She seduced your father to convince him to let her live with you, and when she lived with you, I never got to see her again..." Rosemary sounded like she wanted to cry. "But my dad wouldn't let your mom stay in the shadows, and even while she wouldn't contact him, he'd do his best to speak to her. I knew you were still being hurt, because I overhead my dad talking about Maya being dead...so I stalked your mom to find you! I found her name and then with that I found all her social medias! Then I found you, and your name, and then I ended up finding your phone number!" She said proudly. "I think I explained myself pretty well, so I doubt you have any questions" she said.
"Are you kidding me?" I said. "First of all, how on earth did you know Maya? Did you happen to know her dad too?" I asked.
"Well like I said, Maya is my best friend! Of coarse I knew her dad! I never knew her mom though..." she said. Should I tell her?
"Um, Rosemary...Maya's biological mom was actually the same woman who made me..." I admitted.
"What!?" She exclaimed. "So that's why she was so eager to help you! You're her sister!''
"Yeah..." I said.
"Well anyway, I didn't contact you just to introduce myself" she said. "Honestly, I kind of don't like you. If Maya had never known about you, she'd still be here with me, but no matter what happened, I still have to do for her what she couldn't do alone, so I've made it my mission to get you away from your crazy mom!" She declared.
"Well, how the fuck does a kid like you plan to help me?" I asked sassily.
"My frikin god! Woman calm your tits! I've got a plan goddammit! Didn't I say my mom was rich?" She said.
"What are you implying" I asked.
"You can live with me! All I have to do is say the word, and you'll be out of that home in no time" she said.
"Thats actually......averygoodideaandiprobablyshouldntdecline" (a very good idea and I probably shouldn't decline)  I said fast. Rosemary laughed and sighed.
"Alright, stay out of trouble until Saturday. I'll come pick you up. Try not to be snappy either old lady" she laughed. I growled a bit. I'm sixteen, I'm not old!
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." I said. "But Rosemary" I started.
"What?"
"Thanks..."
"Whatever...I still don't like you..."
"Same"
"Welp, goodnight. Don't get into trouble. And I swear, if you tell your mom about me, I'll beat you to a pulp! She can't know a thing about me! Got that!?"
"Yeah fine!"
"'Kay, bye!" She said before hanging up. I sighed and looked down at my phone. I can't believe it...Maya really gave up so much just to help me...she even left her best friend alone. And now, even in death, her kindness is still influencing people, and soon, I'll be able to live outside my mother's grasp...
