Mystic Falls

(Caroline)

I was making dinner with my mom. I was happy to be home, even if it was for a short period of time. She was happy to see me again. "So how was it?"

"School was great. I learned so much. Even if they didn't allow me to take as many classes as I wanted to take. You know?" I replied. She smiled at me.

"I know. I'm just worried you might be taking too many hours for your college plan."

"Don't worry. I'm hoping to graduate early so that I can get my dream job sooner." I replied. "It'll take a while before I get my dream job because I read you usually start out as an assistant." I told her as I put the noodles into a bowl before going to cook it. I was cooking Chinese food.

"I know you'll get your dream job Care. You keep working hard and you'll get there." She said, smiling at me as she got the sauce ready. I beamed.

"Thank you Mom." I gave her a hug and she hugged me back.

"I love you Care."

"I love you too Mom."
