Chapter 1

I was standing in front of my mother's grave: "Cathelina Valentine". She died 4 years ago, but it seems that she just recently die. I wish I could hold her arms and sing together with her for the last time and cherish the moment while it lasted, but I couldn't. I sat on the grass and prayed for her soul. I placed some flowers beside her grave. I use to do this everyday before I go to school. A few minutes I stood up and left her.

I am just walking through my way to school. I have a small amount of money because my step mom says that we need to save money for my dad's hospitalization, but she just wanted more money for herself.

My dad found her one year after mom died. I thought she will be a good step mom, but I was wrong. Then 2 years before, my dad turned very ill until now. He was bedridden for 2 years. I was left under the care of my step mom, which is a tragic thing for me. She treats me as a maid in my dad's house. My dad doesn't know about this, if I tell him, he might get a heart attack and my step mom will murder me. I just believe that everything has an end.

I arrived at school 30 minutes before the homeroom bell rang. I saw Tori with the others in front of Tori's locker. Time to disguise my pain. "Hey Tori, hey Robbie, hey Andre" I squeaked cheerfully "where's Beck and Jade?"

"Hi Cat!" Tori replied as cheerful as my greeting. "What happened to your eyes?" Did Tori notice that I cried? This isn't good. I am tense! "Just kidding." Thank God it's all a joke.

The bell rang and our first class is at Sikowitz. I walked with Tori, Robbie and Andre. I was perspiring. I took my handkerchief and wiped it across my face. Robbie was looking at me.

"Why are you perspiring? It isn't very hot in here?" Robbie asked.

I was tense again! What am I going to say? "Ummm, when I was outside, it feels hot."

"That makes sense."

We entered Sikowitz's class. I sat between Andre and Tori. A few seconds later Beck and Jade walk in and sat in front of me.

"Hey there class." Sikowitz said cheerfully.

"HI!" I yelled cheerfully with a huge grin.

"Hello ditz redhead." Rex whined.

"poooh." I said.

"We are gonna discuss crying."

"Crying?" Tori repeated.

"Yep, you pronounced it perfectly."

"What about crying?" Andre said.

"You kids need to learn how to cry real tears." Sikowitz said. "Think about your mother, imagine she died four years ago." a tear drop from my eye. "Imagine your father, imagine he was bedridden for 2 years. imagine you have a step mother, imagine that she treats you as a maid in your father's house. What will be your reactions? Class I wanted you to put yourself into this situation. Cry class cry!"

I don't need to imagine this, this is my real situation, I can't believe Sikowitz reminded me. I burst in to tears, everybody who cries stopped when they heard me. I haven't realize they were all staring at me.

"Look at Cat, that's some juicy crying Cat."

"Hey Cat its over." Jade slightly slapped my head. "Its not like that's your situation."

I stopped and wiped my tears. I smiled again. "Yeah right."

The bell rung and we all exited the room. I went to the cafeteria. Then my cellphone rang, it was my step mother.

Hi! Sorry its so short. Please review.
