Chapter 15
Reality
Updated 6/26/2015
The following day. Anika got ready for class on time, and as the school year encroached it's ending, she put all her efforts into her studies. And even though her final grades would not do much to help her entrance into the community college on the mainland coast she applied for, it would help her moral, knowing she end her senior year by trying her hardest. And she thought to herself; I don't know my major but I will prove my parents wrong. I will succeed, and its no longer for their lack of attention, it's for my fucking self for once. It's not like either of my step parents give a single damn about me anyway, tch, sick assholes who try to appease me.
And thus, she reluctantly called her mother at the end of the day, despite her foul mood.
Her mother picked up on the other end with a rather lackluster tone, "Hello?"
"Hey, Mom, It's Anika."
"Oh, hey Sweetie, what's up? You're grades good?"
"Uhm, yeah they are getting better. But, I called to say that I got hired at Paopu Incorporated."
"...That's nice. As what, a person who stocks?"
"Erm, no." Anika replied with attitude, "As a cashier."
"Oh...well you know, I'm really tired, can we talk about this later, I'm driving right now."
"Uh yeah. Bye." she hung up, and stood speechless for awhile, standing outside the door to her house. Maybe, maybe she would proud of me for once. Ha, that's what happens when you believe in others. She started to curl in on herself and tears welled in her eyes. I knew this would happen, why do I feel this way. Ugh. She hurriedly unlocked the door and threw her stuff carelessly on the couch and balled up her fists, feeling an urge to hit something, tear something, or do something, if anything. But each time she reached for something to throw or destroy, her brain reminded her of its sentimental value and the repercussions of her actions if she took them.
So, Anika changed into sweatpants and a tank, and turned on some music by I See Stars. It helped her release her pain and boiling thoughts.Thank God, Kairi is not here, she doesn't need my shitty drama.
And the rest of the day was spent secluded in her room, not eating, nor speaking to anyone.
Friday, she was a bit out of it, and went through the motions of life, and to top it all off she received a text from her dad early in the morning.
Remember to be wealthy. So that you do not have to work under anybody, and always stay in school.
She rolled her eyes and tossed her phone into her school bag. What a load of shit, easy for him to say. He makes lots of money, considering his own company, and yet he chooses to spend it on my step family.
God, I wonder if they will even attend my graduation. I really hope they don't.
