Stay away... Puh-leaze! She is seriously crazy.

So glad it was Friday so I was free of her for a whole weekend.

I kept thinking these things as I walked home.

At home, I immediately did my weekend homework. Snooze-feast. After homework, I went down the stairs and watched the news with my mom.

Newscaster: I am sad to report that Arman died today.

Me: Arman?

Mom: Yeah a kid who was trying to make a change in the neighborhood. Was shot by a former gang member.

*picture of kid flashes on screen*

He was kinda cute. To bad he's dead... so sad that another young life has ended.

They continued to talk about this kids accomplishments and so on.

After 10 MINUTES of talking about the same boy...

Me: Hey mom wanna watch something else? (reaches for remote)

Mom: No, its fine.

Me: There still talking about the same thing. Why would you want to watch that?

Mom: That boy... was in Renae's class.

Me: Oh (gets up; goes back to room)

Is my mom going to go "psycho" early?. . .

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

 I went to my room and plopped on my bed. Bored as heck. Maybe I'll text people.
