" Vladimir, how many times I need to tell you to chop off the grass on your head ? "
Mom yelled her lungs out as I didn't cut off my hair today as well.
" And how many times I need to tell you don't call me by that ancient name ! "
I am so fade up of her calling me that ! What kind of new age mother gives such an ancient name to her child ?
Is she taking some revenge on me for something I did in my childhood ? Or may be in my past life ?
" Watch you mouth, you brat ! "
Mom said narrowing her eyes coldly.
I better shut up before she unleashes herself on me for answering her back !
She is sweet otherwise, she just doesn't like me answering her back; if Victor does, it's ok. Afterall he is her favorite child !
" I am sorry, mom. "
I apologized.
" It's alright. When are you gonna cut that bush or want me to chop it off at home ? "
She is so persistent !
" Just why don't you like my hair ? I love them and I won't cut them off ! "
I said without raising my voice.
" What's in it to like them, huh ? You look like some girl with those long hair of yours ! "
She said almost disgusted.
" Come on Mom ! Stop being sexiest ! How could you call me a girl just because I have a bit long hair ?
They aren't even that long ! They don't even reach my shoulders ! "
I said irritated.
" Who have long hair among you know ? Among your relatives ? Among any your friends ? Your school mates ? Who ?
Just because your Dad is no more, doesn't give you the right to do whatever you wish without my will ! "
Mom said getting emotional.
Why does she have to bring Dad's death always whenever she is loosing a fight with me ? As if, she uses his death as an excuse to win and nothing else !
I know it's cruel to think of her like that. It isn't like, she didn't loved Dad and just use his name to emotionally blackmail me !
But she never mentions him otherwise.
Whatever, I won't fall for her trap this time !
" I know if, Dad were here with us he would have let me do as I please and wouldn't have forced his decisions on me ! "
I said.
" What did you said, you spoiled brat ! Come her I will tell how he'd had treated you... "
She said and started running after me. I ran for my life. She shouldn't hit me, I am a teenager now. God knows when will she stop hitting me !
I ran to my room and shut the door. She came and slammed on the door for a long time as usual and cursed at me and when she got tired, she went back.
I will apologize her later at our night walk.
I don't like to get on her nerves, but is the one who starts it !
I am envious of Victor. From the day of his birth till now, she haven't rose a finger at him and to me ? She have done what not.
Sometimes I wonder if, I am her step-son !
But then, when we go for our night walk after dinner, she teaches me the most important lessons of life which Victor misses, that scratch out my thoughts of not being her biological child !
My phone buzzed.
" Hello, Bro ? "
" Yeah ? "
Sam, my best friend called.
" What's up ? "
He asked.
" Nothing much. As usual. "
I replied bored.
" Your Mom missed again ? "
He said chuckling.
That bastard always enjoyes whenever Mom beats me or shall I say tries to beat me or throws her slippers at me !
" Yeah, yeah. Be greatful you aren't born in my home or it would have been you getting the beating and you couldn't even dodge it like me ! "
I said chuckling back.
" By the way, did you followed her today as well ? "
He asked. And yet again I cursed myself nth time for telling that to him !
" Fuck off ! Just why did you called me ? "
I said avoiding his question.
" About the homework we got... "
He then, started blabbering about school and homework and all that shit. But my mind was wandering around her; Aurora.
My crush !
Everyone dies to talk to me in school including seniors and juniors but her ? She never gives a fuck about me !
I mean, I don't want to brag, but I am the most good looking and best at everything guy and so, everyone wants to talk to me and be my friend. But her ?
She is always indulged in her studies and talks to no one. I doubt if anyone even knows her name !
All the teachers call us by our last name. So, if you are friends with someone, only then your name gets called.
Even I wouldn't have known her name, one day teacher asked me to hand her notes and that's when I came to know her name when I read it there.
She doesn't have any friends. She sits alone, eats alone and come and go to school all alone.
She is so beautiful I just couldn't take my eyes off her. But I don't look at her directly or she might call the cops and get me arrested for mentally harassing her !
She isn't anything like the other girls surround me all the time like they are attracted towards me like the magnet to Iron.
I don't like them, but I tolerate them because of my friends. The girls don't talk to them. But when I am there, they gather around and talk to them, when I don't !
I am afraid if, she sees me surrounded by the girls, she shouldn't think of me as some pervert or womanizer for it !
I must do something to not let her think that way of me.
What should I do ?
Yes !
I will declare myself as gay so that, no girl would come close to me and she won't think of me in a wrong way !
Yes will do it soon.
Anyhow school will end soon and we will leave for graduation may be in the same country or different, we never know.
I must talk to her before school ends !
