Summer Shortcakes

Sugar Mamas Speech

Another crumbled up paper hits me in the head.

Great.

That was the perks of taking a school bus home. you get to deal with the insane chaos of high school teenagers that are having a riot the bus driver is too deaf to hear. Also the flying garbage and since there are rarely any open seats, you'll get stuck beside some gorilla that's never heard of deodorant and that's if your lucky.

Another one hits me head, and I draw in a quick breath before closing my eyes.

Keep it together Lind....

The thrower started laughing.

1....

I count

2...3...4...

"Hey Lindsay whatcha doing there? Meditating!?"

More laughter

7...8...9...

Another paperball hits me right in the cheek.

10.

I grab it and whip it at the kid across from me, Riley Thorinstien.

"If you throw another price if paper at me you will find your useless little head under the wheels of this bus. why don't you try actually doing the assignments? why? because your to STUPID!"

I throw another ball at him before getting off the bus.

I walk into the small bungalow and the smell of freshly cooked lasagna hits me. I walk into the kitchen to find my mom at the stove, my dad's nose buried in the newspaper and my older sister Sasha filing her nails.

"Hey kiddo!"

A perky voice peeps out.

"Who was your second last day of school?"

"Ugh. I got the final assignment of the year, hopefully. And turns out that science cell thingy was due today. whoops."

I through me binder down on the counter and my bag in the corner before sitting down beside Sasha.

"You know, you better start taking your school work more Seriously if you wanna do something in life"

Mom says as she places the lasagna pan in front of us.

"I'll survive if I only get a B-. Geez"

"Your mothers right. you can't expect to just bum around here after high school. you'll eventually new money for a house, a car, a new phone...."

"Ya Linds, get yo shit together"

I kick Sasha under the table as my mom eyes her.

"I'll be fine! and plus even if I don't graduate, look who Uncle Phil ended up!"

"He's on privation for the 2nd time this mouth"

"Ya but he's still got a home with that Yawang Lee chick."

"Asian prostitiue" my dad mumbles and we all laugh except mom.

"Ya and you know what happened to her? HA Phil went missing and when they checked out the apartment they found her all tied up to a-"

"WHAT WERE TRYing to say here is"

She cuts Sasha off.

"...is that , Lindsay, you need to be more responsible and pay for your own things."

I put another price of lasagna in my mouth.

"Were em I shaposed ta giet da muneh fram?" I say with a full mouth.

"Sugarmammas! that'll be your summer job! you want something? pick up a shift or too!"

I gag a little.

"I finally won't be alone!" Sasha sassy sounding almost happy.

I choke on a few words but momma continued.

"Your father and I have discussed it. you can start working right after school is done." then she gathers out plates and left before I could fight back.

I sit in my bead and think about what just happened.

Great.

Just peachy.

I'm stuck working at a stupid café frosting cakes and cookies instead of getting a tan.

I pull my platinum blond hair up into a bun as I walk to my window to pull down my blinds. I noticed a FOR SALE sign across the street, and see the quite little couple moving antique lamps and painting into a van.

Wonder where they're going?

I don't even care where..

...Just take me with you.

The I return to my laptop, got in Netflix click on the first episode of Pretty Little

Liars. this is all I have to look forward to this summer. might as well get started since my summers already waisted.
