"God damn it!" I groaned, throwing the pen across the table. For the past 3 hours, I've been sitting and doing this ridiculous Maths homework. I mean, I could have done anything in those 3 hours. I could have taken a nap or watch the t.v. Why does Maths have to be so difficult?

"Amy darling!" My mother yelled from downstairs.

"Yes Mom?" I replied while releasing my hair out my messy bun. It wasn't messy at all when i first tied it into a bun. I just have the habit of scratching my head a lot while working. Weird habit? I know.

"Come downstairs a little, would you?" She requested.

I sighed and got up from the chair to make my way downstairs. I left my room making sure to close my door. I don't want my dog to make a mess in my room. I'm quite a freak when it comes to cleaning. I like everything neat and clean.
I went downstairs, walking towards the kitchen. As soon as i enter the kitchen, the smell of chocolate cupcakes filled in my nostrils making my mouth water.

"Someone is in a good mood today." I smiled and hugged my mother from behind before kissing her on the cheek.

"Well, I thought that my daughter deserved a little sweet reward after 3 hours working on some stupid mathematical equations." She said while icing the cupcakes. She is a really good baker.

"Don't even talk about that" i reached and grabbed one cupcake, "they haven't been solved yet." I said before putting the cupcake in my mouth. Oh, these are really good. She really is a good baker.

"Why?" She frown.

"I don't know, I mean, I can do it but my brain won't just cooperate." I shrugged taking a seat on the small dining table.

"Sweetie, I know you don't want me to do it because of our financial situation but i could hire a teacher for tuition for you." My mom said before pulling a chair and taking a seat in front of me. She placed the delicious cupcakes on the table.

"No mom, you know that giving me a tuition will make our budget go out of hand. Please I am going to work harder so just leave it please!" I beg her. My mom is working her ass off to pay for the bills and groceries. We are poor, not that poor, and its because of my father. He left my mom and I on our own, without any financial help, when i was 6 years old. I have a brother, Nathan. He is 3 years older than me. My father took him along when he left. Mom always show me pictures of him when he was a child so i don't know what he looks like now.

I don't exactly know the reason of why my dad left, mom never told me, but whatever the reason is, it's my mother who is suffering. As   a child i didn't see her struggles. But as I am growing up I can clearly see the struggles she is going through. She is working so damn hard to keep up with the bills and also my needs, not that I have to many, but she is trying to fulfill most of them. One of the main reasons why I am working so damn hard is to provide my mom everything she never was able to buy for herself.

"Speaking of tuitions, what are you going to do about the homework now?" She asked while tracing the flower pattern on her dress.

I sighed, putting my hand under my chin. "I don't know, I think I am just going to sit another 3 hours and try to see if it gets solved." I said lying my head on the table.

I heard my mother getting up from the chair and giving me a little slap on my back causing me to sit up instantly. "Oh no young lady, you are not. You are going to have dinner with me and we are going to watch a romantic, no maybe horror movie and then you are going to bed." She said and placed a plate in front of me and putting rice and chicken on it.

I grabbed a fork and dig in my plate. I am really hungry. "But mom, Mr.Douglas?" I said while chewing the chicken. She takes a seat and starts eating too.

"Oh fuck Douglas, I never liked that old man anyways." She makes a disgusted face making me laugh. I seriously got the best mom.

I just hoped Mr.Douglas does not punish me tomorrow. No, even better. I just hoped he disappear and never comes back to the Maths class. Please God make this come true.
