I have said to myself; I don't want to cause trouble at the new school. However, today I got a new problem that I was never invited to. Why do issues always come to me? If my mother finds out what happened today, surely she will not let me go to school again, then I will not graduate from Senior High School.
I don't want that to happen. I have a distant cousin who constantly insults me, and I don't want her to hear that I didn't graduate from high school. I would be utterly humiliated by her. This is my last year in high school, and this school is also my last chance. I can't make the slightest mistake. Today's events are enough for today, and I will not repeat them. I promise.
"How was your day at school?" asked my mother, who had just returned from her sorority.
I smiled at my mother, flashing her a big smile as if something thrilling had never happened today. "Everything went smoothly. I managed to be a good girl."
I'm still working on my dinner; this time, I looked down; I don't want Mom to ask me again.
"Paris, remember." My mother suddenly sat in front of me, making me nervous. The only person I can't lie to is my mother. I am afraid of her. "This is your last year at school. At the end of this year, you will take the end-of-year exam." Mother took a deep breath, making me wonder if she would ever find out about the fight that took place today. "Do not. Make. Problem."
I gulped, hearing every emphasis of my mother's words.
"I didn't make any trouble. You can ask the school whether I was involved in a fight at school today or not." I tried to make my facial expression look normal and finish my meal as quickly as possible.
"You don't cause trouble at school, but you create trouble outside of school." Mother's words sounded very sharp, made my heart beat fast.
"I promised Mother I wouldn't do anything weird. You can trust me." I finished my dinner, I immediately got up and went to the sink. After I washed the dishes, I said to my mother in a quick voice, "I'm going to my room. I have homework waiting for me."
My mother leaned back in the chair, and I could see Mother watching every hasty step I made. I immediately still into the room and closed it Back.
The bed is the only place I go. I immediately slammed my body on my soft mattress. "Hah!" My breath was heavy and hollow. This is the first time I lied to my mother. I hope today's fight goes unnoticed by the school.
The following day, I went to school. My mother has to work, and she is the backbone of our family. My mother said my father died when I was little, so my mother was in charge of making a living. I promised to help mom make money when I graduated from school. Even though I wanted to go to college, I could save money for college while I was working. However, my mother once told me not to worry about my tuition because she would try to make extra money.
"That girl! Hi, Boss!" shouted Timothy. His voice was so loud that it made dozens of people around me look at me. Meanwhile, Timoty's subordinates who were around him immediately followed where Timoty pointed his index finger.
I saw Timothy pointing at me.
Unlucky! I'm stuck in an unpleasant situation like this.
I looked at the toilet and immediately turned my foot into the bathroom.
"It's a girl, Boss," whispered the thin boy who stood tall beside Timoty.
I'm pretty panicked, and I'm sure everyone must have realized that the person Timothy and the skinny boy were talking about must be me.
"Shut up! She's ten times better than you!" shouted Timothy.
I was furious at Timoty, why he had to use his booming voice to talk. His body is significant, but no one has ever asked him to swallow the speaker inside his body. I immediately went into the girls' bathroom, and I'm sure Timoty wouldn't look for me to the bathroom.
"Boss! Boss! Boss!" shouted Timothy.
Damn it! Timothy is indeed a natural wonder! I didn't expect it; Timoty shouted to the bathroom. This morning I won't be able to get out of Timoty. My eyes are looking for a way out, and I have to get out of Timoty as soon as possible; as much as possible, I should not be involved in the group of boys who often fight, they will surely make me their leader and will get me caught in a fight like yesterday.
"Boss! Please get out of the bathroom! Boss! Fast!" Timoty's scream made the hairs on my neck goosebumps. I have to get out of here right away.
I saw the windowpane, which was located relatively high. There's no one here; I try to climb upstairs and reach for the window. I quickly opened the window, and I immediately got out of the window. I gulped; I didn't want to be caught by the teachers; I directly descended smoothly after ensuring no one from the left. Yep!
"Hey, you! Stop there!" That sound could kill me. My whole body trembled; I didn't dare turn my body to the source of the sound.
