"I'll just go now," my Mom pointed towards her room. "I'll be there if you need me."

Once she left I turned to Ally and hit her on the leg. "What the hell?"

"I'm sorry!" she threw her hands up in surrender. "I didn't mean to let all of that slip. I was only supposed to say the good stuff. Better be glad I didn't tell about the bottles she's smashed against Dad's head."

"What the hell is your Mom drinking?" my eyes widened as I turned the tv off and grabbed Ally. I pulled her up to my room as she talked.

"Well I think vodka and maybe some tequila. She drinks just beer sometimes and then the other sometimes she drinks a whole bottle of wine. Wine days are not pretty."

"Your Mom needs to go to a mental hospital or rehab or something. She has too many problems apparently," I took my shoes off and sprawled out on my bed. "You don't deserve that treatment."

"When she's nice, she's really nice. It's like she isn't the same person," Ally laid beside me. "I didn't know that her problems weren't normal until I met your Mom."

"It's never right for a Mom to be like that towards her children," I shook my head. "She can't just blame you because Dad was a filthy cheater."

"Yeah..." Ally looked out of my window. "I still can't believe it."

"Once I met him it was hard to continue believing what I'd been told my whole life. He is a literal teddy bear after all," I rolled my eyes at the softie of a man. "Maybe having kids made him a teddy bear."

"Could've been," Ally nodded in agreement with a small giggle.

"Good night?" I faced my digital clock to see that it was about 11 at night.

"Good night."

"Don't you just want to sleep in and never have to wake up from it?" Millie was face down to her desk. "I mean who even needs an education?"

"People that aren't actors," I yawned into my hand. "But sleeping in sounds more than pleasant right now."

"I don't want to be here," Ally hit her head on her desk for every word she said. "It's bad enough we have to come. Why couldn't school start at like ten a.m.?"

"Because the board of education are asses," I leaned onto my hand with my eyes barely being able to stay open.

"Well look who has all the answers to the world today," Millie did jazz hands before pointing at me, even though her forehead was still pressed up against the desk.

"I just like being right," I sat up straight and got their attention onto me. I drew an invisable line with my finger in the air. "There's a line between answering questions and being right. I'm in the middle of that line, getting the answers partially right most of the time."

"Do you think boys are stupid?" Millie randomly stated. "Like do you think they're actually messed up in the head? It's obvious that we have bigger brains but that doesn't give them an excuse."

"I think that Jack is stupid if that helps," I rubbed my eyes so I could stop being tired.

"You're bias since he's your boyfriend," Ally pointed at me accusingly. She stopped pointing and nodded as her next sentence was spoken. "But it's true."

"See? I'm not bias if it's a fact."

"I mean he would explain a lot about boys," Millie held a finger to her chin. "But let's not get into talking about Y/n's boyfriend. Lord knows she talks about him 24/7 as it is."
