"Ouch!!!",I smashed my slips down tightly onto my thumb, trying to lick the pain away."Cooking hurts....",I whined, but tried to keep my voice quiet enough to not wake anyone up. Not to anyone's surprise Aphmau stirred awake, and along with her the rest did the same.

"What's wrong Kawaii~Chan?",Aphmau groaned, still half asleep.

"The boys didn't come back did they?",Luka said, wiping her eyes.

"Nononono it's fine!",I said frantically.

Aphmau curious, got up from her position of the floor, and practically tumbled to where I was."I KNEW IT!!!",She yelled, her eyes beamed with joy.She beckoned to the other girls, Luka and Katelyn, to come over and check out what I was doing.There eyes matched Aphmau's as they beamed with joy.

"Awesome!Kawaii~Chan your breakfast is always awesome!",Katelyn yelled.

"Yeah, but why didn't you tell us?",Luka asked.I pouted, gripping the spatula with both of my hands and turned around towards the stove.

"Well....Kawaii~Chan felt pretty guilty about what happened last night....sooo she made breakfast.Its was supposed to be a surprise, but Aphmau~Senpai ruined it.",I pulled the bacon down from off the pan, and dropped it onto one lone plate.Everyone started looking at Aphmau.

"Whatttt!Why is everyone looking at me?!I didn't mean to do it.",Aphmau whined.I resisted the urge to laugh, but instead I place two pieces of bacon on everyone's plates, which was paired with pancakes,eggs, and strawberries.

Once I finished the preparation I called everyone to come in and we sat and ate.Aphmau, who was still pretty upset about my previous mention of her didn't speak a word.She only chewed and chewed and chewed.Till she got tired of the silence and joined our conversation.

"Well me and Luka already signed up to be roommates.",Katelyn said.

"What?!I didn-",I paused at the ping  of my phone.It was my mom.

Mom~Senpai:I'm almost there.

Me:Gotcha!

I placed down my phone down of the table.Picking my plate up as well as my silverware, I dumped the remains of my food in the trashcan and placed the plate in the sink.

The girls looked over curiously, eyeing me as I made my way over to my bags, but in the end they gave in.

"Umm,Kawaii~Chan, what are you doing?,Luka asked, making her way over to me.I continued picking up my bags and faces her.

"My moms almost here...So Kawaii~Chan has to go",I slumped over with my ears pouted, trying to pull of my best smile.Its one thing if I'm unhappy about going. I don't want them to be aswell.

"Oh,umm Kc, you don't have a car",Luka questioned.

"Nope, Kawaii~Chan doesn't know how to drive and besides...can't afford it.",I shrugged my shoulders, walking over to the door and turning the nob.

"We can take you home!",Aphmau protested."You don't have to go right away...",Aphmau got up from her seat at the table, making her way over to me, and grabbing my arms.

I pushed her arms aside giving them a sugary smile, that was all too bitter."You know I
Kawaii~Chan can't...My mom needs help with the kittens.",A faint honking was heard from outside."Well I have to go guys.Love you!Bye!",I waved them away, turning the nob and opening the door.The first thing I saw was my moms black car.I looked back at the girls, who gave me pitiful smiles and I lef-

"Kawaii~Chan!",Luka ran over to me."Tell us when you make it to school so we can help each other unpack."

I nodded."Ok Luka~Chan", and left, making my way over to my moms car.

Once down the cheeky wooden stairs, and pass the cars , I finally made it to my moms car.I opened the trunk, dumping my luggage inside, and closed it.I walked to the passengers side and got in the car.

My mom looked over to me, tears dampened her face.She quickly wiped them away, facing back towards the wheel and starting the car.

"You could have stayed and gotten a ride with your your friends.",She began to backing out.

"I know, but you need he-"

"Don't Nana",She cut me off facing me as she began driving off."I am an adult I can take care of myself."

"Mom your a single parent.You know that's not true...",I said.

"Nana!Your father has been gone for what?Fifteen years!",She said."I'm pretty capable of taking care of myself!Besides...your going to collage anyway.I need to learn how to take care of your siblings on my own...or ask my sister to help...",She mumbled the last part, low enough for not even a kittens ear to pick up.

"Well dad should be here for a while!He could help you!",I yelled facing towards her.Her eyes went wide, and her lips began to quiver.

"Your dads not going to make it kitten....",She said,gripping the steering wheel tight.

I looked down to my feet,tears pricking my eyes ,but I quickly swiped them away with my arm."Then I can't go!",I said putting in a brave face.

"Nana...I already paid for it...",She sighed"Besides it's not your responsibility...it's mine.I know you love me kitten but I can handle it...",I shook my head,Slouching down in my seat with my arms crossed.I let out a swift puff of air from my mouth and closed my eyes.

I haven't had a hard life, but not an easy one either.My dad was in my life for three years, but quickly left out when the twins were born.

Im the second oldest of all the kids my mom had. My brother,Nico, being the first.My mom said I had a keen eye for people, and how to draw them in. She said that when I was born, it was the first time she's ever seen my dad genuinely smile.

I don't know much about my dad, with me being so young when he left, but my mom told me we got along well and he was upset when he had to leave me.

He had to leave because he got a job overseas that would change everything about our family. We're not wealthy whatsoever, but we are well enough to take care of ourselves, especially with eleven kids.

My dad when I was younger would come visit from time to time, and sometimes mom would end up pregnant.But as days went by and going back and forth became for tiresome, he just stayed, and I've never seen him since.No call, no anything.Just eleven kids and a lot of stress.

He promised me at the beginning of this year he would for sure make it to my graduation,which he didn't.And then he promised to see my off to collage and help mom with the kittens,which he wouldn't.

So now it's just me mom and the kittens(my brother being a senior in collage).

My dad not being anywhere in sight...because he lied.
