Today was a great day. I got to re-unite with all of my friends and met some new teachers. I really don't like my science teacher that much but all my other teachers was ok. I walked home and began my daily routine. I ate, did homework, sleep for a while, and then got on Instagram and Kik. I decided to call Mika and see how her day went.

Mika: Heyy Kim.

Kim: Lol hey Mika. What's up?

Mika: Nothing. Milton is helping me with homework?

Kim: all he's doing is talking isn't he?

Mika: (laughs) Yup. Hey are you trying out for cheer practice?

Kim: Uhm no. I have a bad back remember.

Mika: Well what are you going to do on your free time now?

Kim: Probably work at the dance studio.

Mika: Well that's good

Milton: (in the background) Mika!

Mika: Sorry Kim I got to go. I'll text you later.

Kim: K bye.

After I hanged up the phone, for some reason I started to smile. Oh I know why. I was thinking about someone. Y'all remember a guy name Jack Brewer? Well I may have introduced him to y'all as my friends but it's actually more complicated than you think. It's like, I like him, then I don't. He just does things that make me change my feelings. He's a nice guy but he's not who he used to be anymore. We're all getting old by the minute and our opinions for each other changes.

Mom: KIM!

She interrupted my thoughts by screaming out of nowhere.

Me: Yes mom?

Mom: I am tired of you making a mess and stuff. You think I'm your maid around here?

Me: Sorry mom. I'll just –

Mom: Don't bother. I'll do it myself later.

She shook her head and walked out the room. That was weird. She's never gotten so mad over something weird like that before. I wonder what's wrong. I cleaned up the "mess" I had made and quietly walked to her room and see what was going on. I stopped when I heard her talking on the phone with somebody.

Mom: You got the money? What you mean? WHAT?! No you listen to me. You better hurry up and give me the money ok!?

What money?

Mom: So what because I'm a girl that I can't beat your ass up? I'm working hard to provide for my family ok? No no no. Until you have a family, then you have no idea what I'm getting myself into.

I ran to my room and locked the door. Why was she asking for money from the person on the phone with her? She said she needed to provide for the family buy she already has a job. Could this mean? No, my mom is a hard worker. She's been working there for 10 years. They couldn't just fire her right now. I tried to text Jack for support but like always, he never texts back. I started to break down and threw my phone to the wall in frustration. My eyes started to get watery and my head fell into my hands. My life was starting to crumble in the blink of an eye.
