You had your first day at your new school and were invited over to Max’s house after you got along immediately. As you were leaving, you notice Marcus’ bike and you take it for a ride much to Marcus’ protest. You didn’t know your mom saw. Your mom was waiting at the top of the stairs to your room for you.

“How was your first day, dear?” she says semi-sarcastically. She’s wearing a grey cardigan and her long hair is pinned to one side in curls.

“I have a ton of homework to do.” You respond with annoyance and walk past her.

she frowns and follows after you. “Hey! You get back here when I am talking to you!” You narrow your eyes and look back at her as you continue walking to your room and she speaks again. “I don’t want you with that guy or on that bike!”

You enter your room and go to slam your door but she halts it with her arm and glares daggers at you with warning.

“You don’t understand.” You say, to which she looks amused and smiles sarcastically.

“Oh, you think I don’t understand. I understand. Believe me, Mommy understands. You are me, and I was an idiot. I’ve broken my back giving you every opportunity that I never had, so you’re gonna throw it all away on the first jerkoff Shawn Hunter wannabe. You know who’s sexy? Skinny, nerdy guy in your biology class. Have sex with that guy. Bang future Mark Zuckerberg. Have you learned nothin’ from Romy and Michele?!”
