My mother looked at me with with all that she had. She knew I skipped the whole day, But what was I to say? I had a lot of fun with Johnny. I couldn't tell her about him being my boyfriend. She would never let Me see him again.

"How was school today Brenna' My mom asked with a stern voice. She was trying to pressure me into telling her what happened. I wouldn't tell her anything.

My mom read all these parenting books after she and my dad got a divorce, She was trying to teach herself how to become a batter parent. I guess, then raising an eleven year old on her own was not an easy task.

She's now using her stupid tips from the book to try and use a pressuring method to make me talk. I ask myself why she can't be a normal parent and just yell at me.

"The school called today Brenna" My mom said, Figures, they don't call to say I got honor roll or something is the day I skip school.

I kept quite knowing she would not dance around the subject for much longer.

"How could you skip school Brenna." my mom screamed "Do you know how much learning you have missed" she said. It didn't bother me. For once I felt that I didn't have to worry about school or anything like that. But how was I going to tell her about my fight with Johnny and that I just followed him because I wanted to?

"I had fun Mom, For the first time I did not have to worry about school or meeting up to your standards of what a perfect daughter should be" I screamed at her

"I am your mother, Do not use that tone with me Brenna Lynn" she said, I hated when she used my full name

I rolled my eyes as she began to pace around the room in disbelief of what her daughter had done. She made it seem like I killed someone, Not just skip school

"You are grounded" she said.

"From now until the semester ends you will report straighthome. I will be there to pick you up and drop you off at the school. No friends over and no going over anyone's house. Understand" She said.

I nodded. At least she didn't take away my phone. But the worst was I couldn't stay after with Johnny or watch the guys practice anymore.

"Oh and I'm taking away your phone" She said.

"You are not allowed to have it back until your grades improve" She added

I groaned, I would not be able to talk to anyone until the semester ended. Why did she have to read those stupid parenting books? I questioned. Did she really think punishing me would make me not do what I did again? or not make me rebel against her, It was bound to happen anyway. I now understood why my dad left. I guess he was tired of my mother always wanting her way, or always having to be in control

Later that night I sunk out of the house to Visit Johnny.

I told him what happened and he was not too happy. We made a plan to see each other every night, He would have to stay in my room so my mom wouldn't notice. She now will be checking on me to make sure I don't sneak out.

I swear she thinks she's in complete control and that she could do whatever she wants to me. I didn't do anything wrong, I'm just a teenager. All kids skip school one time in their life right?

This will be a long punishment, But now that I think about it, Not too long now that Johnny will be here to see me.

In the back of my mind I kept thinking about Zack,. He's so good looking and so mysterious. I kept thinking about that kiss, I wanted it to happen over and over again, His lips where so warm and it made my skin crawl. I had to get the thought out of my head, This could be the start of something very bad for me if I don't.
