- Denzel, look what you did! - my mother shouts, while showing me the wet floor. - When I'm showering...
I stop listening. I hate when she use this argument. "When I...". The most hurtful words on this world, by saying them, she shows me, that I'm not her. That I'm not "Mr. Perfect", with amazing grades and all pink and perfect life. By those words she shows me what failure I am. When I was a little, I always tried to be like her. I liked the same colour, movies, pets. I was getting good grades and I tried to make her proud. But she never said that she was proud.
Always complaining about what I have done wrong, she took away my will, to be like her.
Because she wasn't as perfect and wonderful as I thought.
- Okay, I will wipe this.- Dez! - I hear someone shouting and I fell an arm around me.
- Hello, Greg. - my best friend is smiling, I smile too, although I'm not happy.
- Are you prepared for the test?
- Yes? - I'm asking, not sure about it.
- Liar. - he says jokingly, while nodding me.
