"you're a little much for me, you're a liability" - liability, lorde
Katelyn Sullivan
It wasn't like I was new to people making my disabilities the only worthwhile thing about me, but it still sucked. There was more to me than just my dyslexia and ADHD.
I walked into English and took my seat in the back. Almost immediately after sitting down, Annabeth walked in. I was really praying that she would ignore me, but I'm never that lucky.
"When do you usually tutor?" She asked.
"What?" I said in disbelief. She was still pushing this tutoring thing?
"I'm just really desperate. I have a math test coming up and I just transferred so I understand pretty much nothing. I just really need help."
"Fine. I have a 5th-period study hall tomorrow. Take it or leave it." I didn't want to do this, but I felt bad saying no.
She squealed. "Thank you so much OMG you're a lifesaver." What the hell did I just get myself into.
She didn't bother for the rest of the class. Thank goodness.
Finally, school was over. Although my day didn't get any better. When I got home my mom was in the living room.
"Hey mom, " I called.
"Hi, sweetheart, " I paused. She almost never called me sweetheart. Something was wrong.
"Is everything okay?" I asked.
"Of course! Everything is great!" She said with an exaggerated smile.
I didn't believe her. I noticed some bags near my room. "Are we going somewhere?"
"Not we. You." I was confused.
"You're staying at Colbourn," she answered.
"What?" I said. "Why?"
"It would be better for both of us."
"How?" Let me explain. At Colbourn you could either stay on campus or you could do what I do and just walk or drive to school. I like staying at home instead of Colbourn and I thought that my mom liked it too.
"We'd both have more freedom." She said.
"...Freedom?" She was really confusing me. She took a deep sigh, visibly annoyed.
"Could you just trust me for once? I know what's best for us okay? I need you out. Now." Her tone was firm. It hurt hearing that she wanted me gone and I still couldn't understand why.
"I-," she cut me off.
"Now! Not up for discussion." I quickly grabbed the bags near my room and ran out of the house. I started the walk towards school, trying not to cry the whole way.
Oop sounds like someone's having some family drama. And that tutoring session. Weird right? I'll update ASAP.
