Up. Up. Up goes my voice.
“You can’t make me.”
I’m still your mother…
“Yeah, you’re my mother,
and a cold-hearted bitch.”
Don’t ever talk to me like that!
“What are you going to do?
Ground me until further notice?”
I think it’s time for you to leave.
So much for moving home.
Halfway Back
To the motel, Trey
drops another surprise
smack in my lap.
What would you say
if I told you I’m not going
back to school?
Weird, but Bree sides
with Mom. [She’s right.
He’s a loser.]
Kristina, however,
is all for it. “Really? Since
when? Are you sure?”
I totally screwed up this
semester, anyway. I can
always go back and
finish up, or maybe I’ll
transfer to UNR. Meanwhile,
we’ll be together.
