Love to the Moon And Back

Chapter 3

I turn off the TV and go to my room. I take out my new school books and start writing my name on everything.

"Elle R. -1st Period- Algebra 2"

"Elle R. -2nd Period- P.E"

"Elle R. -3rd Period- Normal Reading"

"Elle R. -4th Period-
Science(Physical)"

"Elle R. -5th Period- Computer"

I go to my little desk with books and scraps of paper everywhere. I sit down and get paper and a pen. I start writing down what i will do on Monday during school. I get my journal and start writing poems. I thought about the boy. He was so beautiful. He obviously didn't like me ,knowing his face expression and words. But he was too dreaming.

*Knock Knock*

"Come in" I say while slamming shut my journal.

"Come help me with the groceries - I'm not Superman you know" my mom says.

"Ok ok I'm going" I say walking downstairs.

"What do I need to do mum" I say jumping on the couch.

"Help put all those groceries away - and one day I'mma take that couch away so you can jump on the floor and see how that feels" my mom says yelling from the kitchen. I stand up and walk and see piles of groceries from Publix on the marble counter. I start taking everything out from the bags until I feel vibration. I take out my phone to see "Unknown" on top. I hang up and put my phone back in my pocket.

"Mom! Did you get my new headphones?!" I asked.

"No,they didn't have headphones at all..or I just maybe forgot" she said changing her tone.

"Hmm" I smirk. I put the milk and eggs in the fridge- slamming the door dramatically. With the look on my mother's face , I know she knows that I'm mad in the corner of her eye.

"I'm not up for this foolishness, what do you want?" My mom says crumbling all the bags to one big ball.

"I want headphones,a new pair of eyes - ohh yeah and a better life" I say rolling my eyes.

"You should appreciate that I aleast am doing the best I can , so why don't you stop whining and go wash the dishes or do homework or something - just do something!" My mom says walking out with a notepad in one hand and her phone in the other. I walk out of the kitchen entering the home theater near the basement stairs. I grab a popcorn bag from the side and sweep the controller from the back seats. I turn on the big screen going to Netflix. I sit in the front with my legs folded already half done with the bag. I put the first movie I saw pop up.

"Oh well" I say. I watch through a comedy movie but did not enjoy as much. I throw away the paper bag from the popcorn and get up. I look at the seat with all the mess I made. I stare at every bit of the buttery popcorn. I wonder if I can ever not be a messy eater. I walk out of the theater wiping my mouth with my sleeve.

"ELLE!" my mom calls from upstairs.

"What?" I reply

"What Nothing! Come Over Here NOW!" I hear my mom yell. I walk upstairs thinking of everything I did today.

"Hmm..what did I do?" I say to myself when I reach the end of the stairs.

"What Happened?" I ask.

"I got a call from your teacher saying that you didn't turn in your summer project- and that was the project that you drove me crazy with!" My mom yells.

"I forgot to bring it - she said we can bring it tomorrow because alot more people didn't even budge to remember to even do it." I say walking out of my mom's room.

"Come back here young lady!Your not going to school tomorrow - you have surgery, so think how your going to bring it to school or I'm taking your phone until you can raise your first "F" in that class to a "A+" - you understand?!" My mom asks staring at me , waiting for an answer.

"Yes mom" I say leaving.
