Mistreated

War

"GODDAMN IT MOM! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT I DON'T WANT TO BECOME A NAIL TECH LIKE YOU!" I screamed at my mother and slammed the door. "

The next day while walking through school Craig came up to me, 'well he seems happy' I thought to myself. 

"Hi  Maria..... What's wrong you seem upset today." Craig asked.

"Just the usual argument with my mom," I said thinking of a way to change the subject, " what made you so happy today," I asked?

"Well I just found out that the girl I love loves me back so why shouldn't I be happy?"

"Oh, so who is this girl that you love that loves you back?" 

"I'm not telling"

'Shit I hope he's talking about me and not some other girl,' I thought, 'I know I'll never be able to admit that I have feelings for him and it seems like he doesn't like me anyway so why do I even bother getting jealous over him liking someone else.'

"Hello, earth to Maria" Craig said.

"Oh sorry did I space off?"

"Yes you did," he said, "and besides the bell just rang we should get to class before we're late."

After I got home I went to my room to write more to my first song and my dad walks in,

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm writing more to this song."

"Why can't you just give up on that dream you'll never become a success at it," he says, "why don't you just become a nail tech and take over your mother's business it's already a success."

"I don't want to become a nail tech I hate painting other peoples' nails!" I say in anger as he walks out my bedroom door.

God I hate it when they try to make me do something that I don't want to do I thought as I continued writing more of my first song till dinner.

After dinner I went to my room without saying goodnight to my family and went to sleep wishing there was some way that they would understand why I want to become a singer and not a nail tech.
