The Rise to the Top

"hey you need a ride to school? I have to leave kind of early because I have a meeting for football" Nathan said already dressed and ready

"no, Andre's driving me but thanks. Its hella early"

"yeah I know, but we cant have one this afternoon cause he gots somethimg going on. Im running practice so we have to go over some stuff with the guys"

"oh well see you later. I might stay for yalls practice so I'll bring you food before it starts or after"

"thats smooth. see you later"

He left and I got in the shower and started getting ready for school. Im literally dreading it. Im beyond tired.

I got dressed in a fited pink v-neck and light blue shorts. I slid on some pink sandles and started getting my stuff together. I heard the front door shut so I ran downstairs.

"hey ba- oh, hey mom"

"um hey sweetie"

"what are you doing? did you just get in?"

"yeah, I had to work very late"

My dad was in the kitchen making coffee. He didnt even say hi to her. I guess hes feeling some type of way. I walked to him and kissed his cheek.

"bye dad. have a good day"

"you too sweetie, bye"

"looooooveeee youuuu" i sung to him he laughed and said he loved me too

I walked outside and Andre's car was gone. He did not just forget to take me to school. I walked back inside

"dad"

"yeah? did you forget something?"

"um, more like someone forgot me?"

"what happened?"

"Well Andre was supposed to take me to school and hes gone"

"i knew that"

"why didnt you tell me?"

"because i thought you knew. Hes a football player and he had to go to the same meeting as Nathan"

"OHHHHH"

"he actually called your phone, but i just pressed ignore"

"DAD!"

"whaaat? you're grounded"

"well i need a ride to school"

"I'll tak-"

"no I'll take her" my mom said grabbing her keys.

I shrugged and went outside and got in the car. My mom got in and she would not stop talking. She kept telling me how she loves me and wouldnt do anything to hurt me or Nathan. That she hopes that nothing will tear us apart.

Once we pulled up I literally jumped out of the car and ran in. I told her that I was about to be late. I dont know whats gotten into her.

I got to my locker and Victoria was there

"heyyy boo"

"hey Naomi, whats up?"

"ugh nothing. just had the most annoying car ride with my mom"

"i called you yesterday and this morning"

"im grounded, my dad has my phone"

"ohhhh I thought you was ignoring me"
