ever since your dad and aunt jenny died, it feels like your mom has made your life hell. you're grounded all the time, she takes your phone, your car keys, everything.

today, you invited a friend over to have a little study session, so you're not alone. you do have homework to do, yes. but part of it is to spite your mom.

miller, the friend who you may have a crush on, arrives. he knocks on the door and you open it.

"hi miller" you smile. you invite him into the house and past the kitchen where your mom is, since it's on the way to our room.

"this is your friend?" she asks skeptically. "i thought it was gonna be a girl."
