I run away from the table and into the bathroom as soon as I see his face. This can't be happening! I hear Mom run after me, leaving Wilmer behind, probably awkward for him.
"Jasmine! Open the door!" Mom yells, banging on the bathroom stall door.
I can't see the door latch through my tears. They call it ugly-crying for a reason, it makes me look ugly. No way am I opening the door.
"Please, baby..." Mom whimpers, pausing the knocking.
I sigh and unlock the bathroom stall door allowing my mom to step inside. She gives me a hug and lets me cry on her shoulder.
"It's okay," she whispers, "we'll get rid of him, I promise."
I sniffle and stand up straight, trying to smile through the tears. Mom pushes my matted hair back behind my ears and smiles, "You ready to go back out?" she asks.
I nod and grab her hand as we leave the bathroom.
