Humiliation
It's the first day of school for Luke being in the 3rd grade. His mom walked him to school, not caring what other people thought of her appearance. He loves his mother but there's a twinge of doubt tugging his mind, telling him her mom's freak out tantrums are not exactly normal. Luke shrugs it off as his eyes focus on the school filled with parents saying good-bye to their kids and the school principal greeting the students by the gates. As they drew nearer, Luke can see most of the kids widening-eyes, either in shock or in horror. A blush crept up his face in utter embarassment. Somehow, half of him feels that he should run and hide in a hole while the other half wants to scream and shout to back off. All he did is just stand there, feeling uncomfortable with the stares he's getting.
His mom hugs him securely "Bye Luke, I'll fetch you after school," she says as she cups Luke's cheeks before kissing him.
"Sure mom! Bye," he smiles. He turns around towards the gates but is glued to the spot by his mother's grip on his shoulder. He faces his mother and saw the familiar green light in her eyes. He hears the screams of the students, parents and the principal around him.
"Mom! Stop it!" he cries out loud, tears streaming uncontrollably down his cheeks.
"No! Not your faith, Luke! Not your faith" she screams as she shakes Luke's body with great force.
After a few seconds, the green light fades and her grip loosens. Everything went to a fast blur for Luke. All he could remember was students and parents shrieking and the principal calling 9-1-1.
The next day, Luke receives a peculiar big envelope in the mail box from the school and went bright red from anger.
" Mom! The school expelled me. It's all your fault! Daisy goes to school there and she thinks I would go too," he wails as he throws the letter at his mother and runs back up the stairs.
Luke never felt angry, sad and humiliated at his mother like this...until now.
