One Step at a Time
Chapter 2
Rose prepared herself for the worst as she opened the door to her house. Her parents were waiting for her in the kitchen and her mother was doing the thing where she crossed her arms to try and look tough. Her dad was at the kitchen table sipping coffee. Usually her dad was quick to defend her, but today was one of those you're on your own days, so she sat down at the table waiting to hear her parents punishment.
She rolled her eyes to show her irritation and sat down across the table from her mother where she stayed silent. She knew that if she talked back to her mother than she would be slapped into next Tuesday. All she had to do was take whatever punishment her mother gave her and go back to doing what she did best. Making trouble so her parents could finally pay attention to her.
"Your principal called today. Would you like to explain why you got in a fight with Mia today?"
"Because she doesn't know how to keep her fucking mouth shut. I was just trying to teach her some manners. No big deal."
"It is a big deal Rose. I can't deal with this anymore."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
Her mother sighed. "I've talked to your brother."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"You have a problem Rose and your brother works at a military institute."
"So."
"I want to send you to your brother."
"Are you serious?"
"St. Vladmir's academy is one of the best milatary insititude's in the country with a ninty five percent success rate. Of course i'm considering sending my troubled daughter to a school I know for sure would try to straighten her out. It's also a plus that your brother can keep an eye on you."
Rose rolled her eyes.
"Fine send me to my brother. He would probably do a better job at raising me than you ever could."
Her mom sat there stone faced just like she always did. Rose hated how she didn;t know what the hell her mother was thinking.
"Well if that's how you really feel then it's settled you're going. I'll call your brother and tell him the good news."
Rose bulked as she watched her mom go to the phone. This was not how she wanted this to go. She sighed and went to her room thinking how unfair all of this was. She didn't care how hardcore her brother was, Rose would make sure to reek havoc there and she would make sure that her brother would send her back here if it was the last thing she ever did.
