"That face won't work on me" Mum says as I pull the puppy dog face.

"Mum come on, please don't let me go to that horrible place. It's full of monsters who make me do horrible things that doesn't make sense" I pout, trying to convince her.

"That "horrible place" is your school and those "monsters" are your teachers and what horrible things do they make you do" she asks placing her hands on her hips after pulling my duvet away from me.

"Mum, you know very well they make us do tests and solve equations which I hate. I mean why does maths keep telling us to find x can't it see that x has moved on with its life? Why can't maths just move on too and stop telling us to find x??" I say, running my hands through my hair very frustrated at this point.

"Get up this instance or I'll take your phone away from you until your birthday" Mum says trying to hide a smile.

"But that's in three months!!" I slightly shout, not believing she decided to pull the phone card on me.

"Exactly".

"I'm going to tell dad you're harassing me" I say standing up, crossing my arms and making my way to the bathroom.

"Don't drag me into this honey. I mean I love you but I love your mum's food more" I hear my dad say as he passes my room probably going over to Jacob's room.

"Impossible" I mutter as I shut the bathroom door not before hearing my mum snicker.

School isn't the place I want to be in right now, after what happened between me and that jackass, I'd rather kiss a pig than go to school and believe me, I mean it.

After spending just a few minutes in the bathroom which I spent mostly singing with my toothbrush, I frantically search for something sensible to wear and of course I don't find one.

After a few more minutes of searching, I go for a short sleeved dress with flower patterns around it, and I love how short it is on me.

Maybe today won't be so bad after all, I think as I put on my brown boots and head out of the room.

Making my way to the kitchen, I roll my eyes as I see my dad eating and smiling like he just won a lottery.

"Hi sweetie" he says with food in his mouth and I just roll my again and walk past him without saying a word.

He just shrugs and goes back to eating and I'm not all too surprised seeing as how he "loves mum's food more than me".

"You can use my car if you want to" I hear him say after a few seconds and I turn around with a smile on my face, totally forgetting I'm not supposed to be talking to him.

"Works all the time" I hear him murmur as he stands up and walk over to where mum's standing by the sink to drop his plate.

"Good morning fam" I hear the irritating and annoying voice of Jacob from behind me and I groan in frustration.

"Hi baby" mum replies before turning back to dad and placing her hands on her waist.

"And you, how do you plan on getting to work if you are bribing her with your car" mum asks turning to dad who is standing beside her.

"I don't plan on going to work today. I took the day off to spend time with the most beautiful woman in the world" dad says pulling mum by her waist and giving her a kiss which she responds to immediately.

Disgusting.

"You do realise your seventeen year old daughter is standing right here" I say with my face scrunched up.

They both pull away and smile and I couldn't help but smile back at them.

I really love my parents relationship. They make me believe that there really is something like true love but then again true love only existed back in the days.

In this present age, everything is fake. It would be hard to find a man who'll love me as much as dad loves mum.

"You could just turn around or close your eyes" I hear the annoying voice of my brother say.

"I never asked for your opinion asshole" I shoot back immediately.

"Mind your language young lady" mum say and turns to face dad again.

"This is all your fault, I told you when the kids were still little but you didn't listen now look what you caused. If you hadn't used swear words so much back then, then maybe she wouldn't have made that statement".

"Heyyy!! Come on. The kids are all grown up now and they probably learn it from school or something".

"Really?" mum asks raising her brows at dad who looks like he wants the ground to open up and swallow him.

"Sky flipped me off when she was five years old. FIVE!"

"That was hilarious!! I'm so glad I got it on tape" dad says laughing but keeps quiet and lets out a nervous chuckle as soon as he sees the expression on mum's face.

I definitely do not remember flipping my mother off. I mean I'm not surprised I did it since I was a "brat" back then, but I'd never do that now.

"You are doing the rest of the laundry today Mike". Mum says, pointing at Dad who now has a look of horror on his face.

I know mum well and I know she's just looking for an excuse to have someone with her while doing the laundry.

She won't let him do the laundry himself because he'll definitely destroy the basement something.

I hear Jacob snicker from behind me and I can't help but let out a small laugh.

I pack my lunch, say my goodbyes and make my way to the door not before grabbing dad's key from the counter.

"Love you baby sis" I hear Jacob say.

"And remember, no boyfriends. You wouldn't want another boy running away from you now would you??" I could hear the smile in his voice as he says that.

Asshole.

He just couldn't end with the "love you".

Jacob has a thing for me when it came to boyfriends.

Two of my boyfriends broke up with me because of him.

I mean I have to admit the last one was hilarious seeing as I tried ending the relationship a few days before then. Jack was a jerk (get it?? Jack, jerk??😶).

He cheated on me but still didn't want to end things claiming that he loved me.

Jacob had no idea about it but still threatened Jack with a baseball bat telling him to stay away from me.

Jack defended our relationship which was a first but then, came running to me telling me how much of a maniac my brother was and how Jacob had broken his car window with a baseball bat .

He ended things with me and told his friends that he had finally slept with me to cover up the fact that he broke up with me because he's a pussy and can't handle a man like him.

He had to keep his reputation as a bad boy and I just let him.

He's trash, and I don't waste my time on trash.

Flipping Jacob off, I get into the car and head for school, enjoying the feeling of driving without mum telling me what to do.

I park dad's car at the parking lot and sit in for a few minutes before getting out and locking the door.

I stand still for a few more minutes and begin to think about how this final year of highschool would be for me.

The worst mistake I've made in my life, is dating Jack.

He's the school's most popular boy and now that we are no longer together everyone thinks it's because he slept me, which will never happen.

But I don't let it get to me at all because honestly, I don't give a fuck about what anyone thinks of me.

I only consider my opinion when it comes to my life. No one can define who I am except for me so with a smile on my face and a deep breath, I take my first step towards this hell called school.
