Fallen Princess

Suckers

-----Alijah-----

After Harvey drive like a mad man I finally arrive, safe and sound, to my house.

Mom is not at home right now. She's still working.

She have 3 jobs. She need to because the money is not enough specially now that I might attend college.

I help her during vacations, holidays and weekends. I work part time in different shops in the district. To ease at least my mom's problem to my allowance and everyday foods.

Dominic and Harvey left right after they drop me. Well I don't want Dominic to know that Mom is not home he will be worried.

He treated me like his sister, which is bad I want him to treat me like a girl. A possible lover or girlfriend.

Anyway I prepare my own food which is obvious. If you think that I lied when I said I made Dom's lunch box then I assure you I really made it.

Mom rarely home that's why I need to learn to do all the chores in the house. From cleaning to cooking and doing laundry.

After filling my rumbling stomach I went to my bedroom and do my homework.

I'm always in top 3 in my year. Not because I am a freaking genius but because I burned my neurons every fucking day and bleed my brains out till I memorize and know all my lessons.

It is tough, hell! Tougher than banging your head to a boulder.

But I can't drop the act now. If I slip even a little in my study my grades and performance will drop like a domino.

If can't do that. Even if i am so tired and want to rest so bad.

I have 2 reasons.

First my mom wants me to attend college so in order too lessen the burden concerning my tuition.

I need to land my self a scholarship and recommendation.

And 2nd. Dom think I'm super girl. He known me as someone who can do anything with ease.

I can't suddenly drop the bomb and say "hey dominic! I'm not really smart the truth is I am freaking my brains out every grading because I'm afraid I might disappoint you because I heard that you like smart girls".

He will freak out for sure. He might even stop talking to me.

Anyway I've been studying for long and didn't realize it's already 2am in the morning.

Mom isn't home yet. She will be back at 5am again I guess.

I need to sleep now so I can wake up at 5am. I have classes at 7am.

-------------------------------

I wake up in time and as usual I prepare my and Dominic lunch.

Arggghh so boring. It's already 10am and I am here burning my butt listening to my humanities teacher!

I am shuffling my schedule when I realize I have art class today.

Shit.

I run out of my art supplies and haven't buy replacement yet.

Hell how can I even afford those paints and stuff!? I'm a certified skint!

And hell shit it's next after this.

I guess I need to use my drama queen skills.

After the teacher left I went to the clinic and ask for a assistance and act as if I'm having a migraine. It always works.
