The Teenage Struggle

Chapter Nineteen

"Is Steve adopted?" I asked again worriedly with anxiety.

"Steve isn't adopted." Mum explained with complete calmness.

I looked up with an enlightened face.

"Ok. At least he won't have to be struggling." I said while letting out a sigh of relief.

"Are you upset?" Mother asked as she was wondering in her mind.

"No. Although I feel betrayed. That's harsh." I instantly replied with an emphasis.

"I'm sorry. I didn't want you to know." Mother replied with a slow and eager voice.

"You didn't want me to know?! Mum. I need to know everything about myself. I better just leave and clear my mind. Besides, the Principal wants to see me in his office." I replied with a very feeble voice.

"Please. I want to have a small conversation with you. I don't feel happy with the way I treated you right now." my Mother added hoping that I would eagerly stay with her and have a conversation.

"Small conversation? You should've done that long ago." I said respectfully towards Mother.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking." Mother said looking at me with her blue eyes filled with plenty of tears.

As I see her big blue eyes filled with plenty of tears, I try to not have anymore eye contact. She seemed to be in a terrible pain but I really had to leave to clear my mind a little just so that I can have a little peaceful time by myself.

"I'm gonna go. I want to clear my mind. Anyhow, I have to go talk to the Principal about something." I said letting out a sigh and avoiding eye contact.

As I go down the stairs, the thoughts race through my head.
I open the front door slowly.

"Where are you going?" Steve said as he stumbled his foot against the wooden floor.

"I'm gonna go out a bit" I explained to Steve as I was looking straight into my eyes.

I got out the house. The whole city was covered with plenty of grayish clouds assuring us that the mighty heavy rains will begin in massive amounts.
I assembled my two arms around my waste letting my jacket cover me in this terrifying cold season.

------------------------------------

Fifteen minutes later after a quite long walk from my house to my school, I've finally made it. I observe the school playground carefully but there seemed to be absolutely nobody.

"Carly! Come on!" The Principal exclaimed demanding to get to his office as quickly as I could.

I get to his office and sit on the chair slowly. He looked at me in the eye.

"Carly,what's wrong?" The Principal asked as he was really concerned.

"Me? I'm just really depressed right now for something that just happened." I explained slowly letting out each word pronounced carefully and easily.

"What happened?" he asked again as he was intrigued by my words.

"I'm adopted." I let out as I gave a look to the floor to avoid eye contact that moment.

"Woah! O my Carly, I would never have guessed." The Principal said calmly.

Few minutes passed and there was a terribly awkward silence so the Principal decided to start a new conversation.

"Ok. I know it's tough. But just for this incident with Vanessa, let's try to be more positive and figure this out." he said making me feel much more powerful and much more positive than I was ever before.

"Ok." I said giving a smile.

We dialed Vanessa's mobile phone over and over again but there was no response.

"It's hopeless!" The Principal exclaimed feeling negative.

"Don't worry. Patience is a virtue." I responded trying to be more positive.

"I just don't understand why Vanessa isn't answering her phone." The Principal said looking completely lost throughout all this.

We began to hear someone with high heels walking down the hall way. She gets closer to the Principal's office and then slams the door open.

"Let's get this over with." Vanessa said spooking me and the Principal at once.
