"Last exam and then I'm free." Aurora said with a forced smile as she sat alongside her parents on the breakfast table screeching the plate filled with pancakes with her fork.
Staring at her anxiously, her mother added two more pancakes to her plate giving her the 'death' stare.
"I'm eating..." Aurora said, nervously rolling her eyes.
"No, you're not! No wonder you've turned so pale!" Her mother sternly complained. "Honey, why don't you say anything to her?!"
Her father cleared his throat to show his wife that he is about to nag her as well.
"Aurora..." He said slowly and sternly, looking at his daughter while she nervously sipped water from the glass held tightly within her palms. "Are you dating Sean?" He asked swiftly.
Gulp!
She gulped too much water at once, almost choking on water. She looked at her father with her eyes widely opened.
