• prereading: I take online school I'm 15 and my mom has a very short fuse

    I woke up at eight o' clock in the morning, i was still to tired from skiing the day before my legs were so sore i could barely stand ten minutes passed as I got dressed brushed my teeth and went to the bathroom I heard a voice from downstairs shouting up to me "Landen grandpa marlan said he wants to have lunch instead of supper" the day before my great grandpa marlan asked me to pick him up some KFC which is something we always do on my birthday I love spending time with him he had been a barber for 56 years and still is one so you can imagine the stories that man could tell but six months ago he was diagnosed with prostate cancer...i plan to marry young for only two reasons one: so that he can see me get married before he dies (I am his favorite grandchild out of all of them and considering hes my great grandpa even my mom is jealous of me) and two I know I've found the love of my life who will remain nameless only because her family wouldnt appreciate hearing this considering her sister is on gaia as well and isn't very nice.

    As I walked across the street to grandpa's house i thought to myself this will be a good day... I was wrong
    (I'm leaving out our meal because were polish and he's old and i don't want to censor all the words)
    After eating with grandpa i had started to walk home but I rememvered halfway across the street my home was not finished again and the new grades would be in the computer "Oh no" I said to myself what do I do there was no doubt in my mind that as soon as i walked in she would get on the laptop and check my grades I started to panic but calmed myself down and walked in i heard my mom say "hello Landen" I said to myself ok good she hasnt seen my grades yet. I set the chocolate bars on the table that grandpa told me to bring home to the family and i tried to hurry out of the kitchen "come sit with me landen" I heard the metaphorical pistol load. I slowly walked to the chair and sat down she immediatley started typing in the website "OH MY GOD WHAT DO I DO!?" I asked myself as she accessed the gradebook she immediately went into english "36.97%" she said, I froze as she went to assignments I couldn't say a word. she turned to me "you told me you turned these journals in" I was speechless knowing there was no way out quietly said "I lied" she made the weirdest face and turned back to the computer..."who the HELL do you think you are!?" she screamed
    "I don't know" she immediately grabbed my face and forced it into hers "WHY ISN'T IT DONE!?" my ears began to ring she let go..."go upstairs" she said calmly she stood up grabbed my face again and lifted me up "AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK!" she pushed me into the other room I got up as quickly as i could but she was already above me I moved as fast as i could to the stairs again too slow she pinned me to the wall with her hand on my neck "WHY DO YOU CONTINUALLY NOT DO YOUR JOB!?" the only thing i could think of was "I never asked for this "j o b"" but of course i didn't say that she let go after ten seconds of silence i quickly scrambled up the stairs and into my room my instinct was to close the door but she would only come up and continue to yell so i got on my laptop and beagan to work my mom stomped up the stairs walked in and said "BY THE END OF THE DAY!" she breathed deep "YOU WILL BE ALL CAUGHT UP ON YOUR WORK" i nodded after twenty minutes of workin she came in and said "how far are you" "i am working on psycho" "LIAR!" she screamed " how does that feel huh? To be called a liar? Sucks huh?" I nodded she asked me why I continually did this but I had no idea what to say the metaphorical pistol was to my head fully loaded, I was playing russian roulette. no matter what I said, I would be yelled at so I managed to squeak out "I don't know why"...bang
    The end
