That Bad Boy Has Cancer

Chapter 5

I got off my school bus quick and stepped on the pavement of my own drive way, feeling the hot Florida air surround me once I got off the bus. I didn't have a car so I always took the bus home even though Sage insested she could give me a ride today but I decilned. I have my reasons

" i'm home!" I yelled, pushing open my front door and stumbling inside right after. I shut the door behind me and and felt the chill air from inside

"Honey im in my study, can you come here please!"

I dropped my backpack off at the door and yelled back quickly " Sure thing!"

I walked through my spacious living room and turned to my right nearing my mothers office. On most days she works at home which is sometimes nice, or she's out traveling for work.

i lined agiants the door frame and pock my head in from the side " Hi"

"Please sit down, I wanna talk to you for a minute" she says not lifting her eyes from her laptop

"Why's it so dark in here?" I asked. The window blinds were shut tight keeping the light out from coming in and the dark wood from the room made it seem darker

"It's to hot, so I didn't want any light. It's more cool when the lights are off" My mother says now. Finally closing her laptop and look at me

I nodded in response and folded my hand in my lap "So what'd you wanna talk about?"

She smiled "How was school?"

I shrugged " Yea. It was good."

She slapped her hands smiling "Oh! That's great honey! Well I'm glad you had a good day"

After I thought the conversation was done. I started abruptly getting up from the hard wooden chair, that mitt I add is not comfortable. But when my mother put her hand out stopping my sudden movements I plopped myself back on my chair

I scrunch my brows together "Yeah?"

"Well as you know. The house next door just got sold, and actually to a friend I haven't seen in a while is the one who bought it. Me and your Dad were great friends with her in College"

I nodded taking in what she had said as I twiddled with my fingers "So why are you telling me this?" I asked wanting to know more

"Well I was talking to her today and I asked her if she would like to have dinner with us to catch up and I'd really love you to meet her. She's a great woman, so she's coming around 6 or 6:30 so be ready and dress nice. Well be eating in the dining room"

My eyes widened. The dining room? We never eat there. "Uh ok. Seems like a nice woman. So is that it? Or?"

"Yes"

I smiled getting up from my seat "I'll be ready at 6"

When I was about after the door I heard my mom call after me " Yes?"

There was a flash of light that caught me off guard "Mom! What was that for"

She stood up from her desk, flipping her long hair off her shoulder "Well since I didn't get my picture early this morning so I got it now. And oh! This is so going on my Facebook"

"Mom!"

It was about 5:30pm when I was done 'Dressing nice'. I did my makeup, straightened my hair and put on a fancy skirt and a white top. I scanned my self in my mirror and shrugged, looks fine to me.

When I opened my bedroom door, the smell of food hit me like a truck. First I find out we're eating in the dinner in the dining room and now my moms making a fest of food. Who even is this woman? Oprah?
