I let out a frustrated sigh and bury my face in my hands. This morning is a total disaster, and it's only just begun. Once Emery and my sister finally leave, I decide to get up, grateful that my… inconvenience is over. After making my bed, I walk out of my room, trying to put everything that happened behind me.

As I finish my eggs and sit down to eat, my mother's expression suddenly lights up, and I know what's coming.
