❝ You know second-hand smoke is just as bad, right? ❞
It was now Wednesday morning, seven AM. Monse's alarm clock went off, eliciting a groan out of her. She rolled over groggily to hit the stupid clock. "Shut up already!"
Her dad walked into the room after hearing her shout. "Who are you talking to in here?"
"Nobody dad," she said before getting out of bed.
Monty crossed his arms over his chest. "It sounded like somebody."
"It was NOBODY!" she shouted.
Monty was sick of her bad behavior at this point. "You're going to watch your tone, young lady! I'm done with the attitude! Hurry up and get ready for school!"
Then he slammed the door behind him.
"UGHHHH!" Monse bellowed in frustration. She was so tired of her father at this point.
Regardless, she quickly got ready for school and then headed downstairs for breakfast. When she got to the kitchen, she was getting ready to eat some cereal until her dad stopped her. He was sitting at the table looking at her angrily.
"So first you act like a fool, now you're acting ungrateful?"
She turned around slowly, trying to control her temper. "How am I being ungrateful, daddy? Huh?"
"So you're going to act like you don't see this beautiful breakfast I made for us?"
Monse glanced at the stove and saw some freshly made pancakes and eggs just waiting to be devoured. She then looked at her dad and did a half shrug. "Can't see it, sorry." Then she headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" her father questioned, but she kept walking until her feet were out the door. She stood outside her house and let out a sigh of relief.
Finally some fresh air.
She looked at her phone to check the time. She still had thirty minutes before she had to go to school. She could go right now but who goes to school early? So she decided to text Kayla.
MONSE : Hey, where are you?
KAYLA : Um, in my bed?
MONSE : Why are you still in bed?
KAYLA : Girl you know it takes me forever to get ready.
MONSE : Exactly. That's why you should get out of bed.
KAYLA : Gotcha.
MONSE : Are you out of bed?
KAYLA : Nope.
Monse sucked her teeth and began walking. Where to? She had no idea, but she kept walking until her feet led her to the park.
She looked around and saw that no one was there except for a group of boys. She rolled her eyes.
