"Kellie Halls come up and get your report card" he teacher yells and makes direct eye contact with me. I walk up to his neat desk and grab my report card. After that my school day is over. I start to walk home, opening up my report card. I look down this semester and see:
B-Social Studies
C-Math
C-Lanuage Arts
F-Science.
Fucking great. A "F" in Science. My parents are going to be so mad. I walk up to my front door and open it. I find my dad watching tv as always and my mom doing bills and office work. My Mom looks up at me.
"Report card?" she gets a drink from the fridge. She sits back down. Then my dad walks into the room and sits next to her. I handed her the paper and her smile goes away.She looks up at me.
"Why?"she looks up in anger.
"I dont know, his class is hard." I fold my arms.
"Why didnt you tell us sooner?" She stood up and walked over to me.
"Because you dont care. All you care about about is your stupid job.You think you know everything. Sorry to burst your bubble mom, but you dont. You excpect me to do well but you dont even care.Sorry im a disapointment to "our" fam-" i was cut off
"Dont ever talk to your mother like that ag-" i cut my dad off, since he did it to me.
"Mom has to fight her own battles, and you just sit on the couch watching tv. Doing nothing every day. I disappoint both of you. Right? That's what I thought. Just Because I don't get the topic in science. Why should I come to you guys when both of you have better things to do?" I left them in the kitchen and went upstairs to my room.
I plug in my headphones and listen to nirvana. I get on the bed and I slowly drift to sleep.
*2 hours pass by*
"Kellie....wakey wakey...... I have your dinner..." My mom shakes me lightly.
I take out my earbuds and rubs my eyes and sit up.
"Thanks. I'm sorry about earlier....."I look down at my plate.
"It's fine. Your father is coming to work with me tomorrow to help out. So he will have a job. I know how to fix that failing grade in science!" She says smiling .
"How?" I question eating my egg noodles.
"My friends son can tutor you. Remember Michael you used to hang out with when you were little?"
"Oh yeah. I missed him...."
"I do too. He's a sweetheart and he's coming tomorrow after school. He's a year older than you I think. Well I will leave you alone to eat and I'm sorry about tonight kiddo."
"It's okay mom" I smile at her and she leaves.
I eat my noodles and bread. I put the empty plate aside, plug in my phone and lay down wondering what little Mikey looks like now. I watch tv for a while then drift into a deep sleep...
