I wake up to my mom screaming,

"Kamila! Get down here!"

"What mom? Couldn't you scream a little later in the day?"

"This is not the time for your humor young lady."

Oh boy, young lady means I'm in serious trouble.

"You know what you did," mom says.

"What did I do?"I ask, seriously confused.

"You set off that stink bomb in the teachers lounge! They called this morning to inform me that you are expelled from the school district!"

"But mom! I didn't do it I swear!"

"Then who did? Huh?"

"I don't know, but-"

"No buts. I'm sending you to boarding school."

I start bawling, "Mom, no! I don't want to leave please I didn't do it! Please believe me!"

She doesn't say a word.

"You leave tomorrow at sunrise."

I sink down to my knees in horror. I don't want to leave Washington, I want to stay here with my mom. I go back up to my room and try to convince myself that this isn't real.
