I rose early, still feeling fatigued, I have been working for the past few days with my mom and it has been the worst week ever since we moved to New York. I have not had enough rest and things had been hard for my mom ever since my father left us.
Ever since my dad left my Mom it had just been me and her fending for each other . Life had been tough for us when we had to pay a debt of 2.5 million dollars that was loan by father. My mom passed through alot but luckily cleared up the loan.
When my dad was with us we had no peace, sometimes he comes home drunk and he will sometimes beat I and my mom up before going to bed. Now he is gone we have to repay his loan , sometimes i just wonder why my mom got married to that kind of man.
My mom was the only family I had . She took up a job to fend for me and also to enroll me in a better school.
" Why haven't you had your bath?"My Mom asked , as she went inside my room roaming around my closet . She picked out a jeans and a white t-shirt and then place it on the bed.
I gave her a faint smile. " I will be ready soon".
I didn't even think of why she asked me to get ready but I just obeyed her because the one thing I would not do is to get my mom angry .
My Mom gave me a broad smile and gave me a peck on my cheeks . Sometimes I wish I could make her more happy because she deserves it .
" Emily I know how much you really want to help me but I want you to go to school first because every mother want their child to come out in flying colors , like I will always say "The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet." I repeated the words with her because she had said those words million's of time. She said with a smile on her face. By the time she was done I rushed to be bathroom to take my bath.
When I was done having my bath I looked at my self in the mirror, " you are so pretty Emily " I complimented my self. I was busy admiring my self , suddenly the door swung opened and my Mom was standing behind the door with a towel hung on her had.
"Emily what are you still doing here ?" I want you downstairs right now and put your clothes on. I was surprised because my mom was acting really strange with this surprise of a thing,I thought we were going to meet any of our relatives. I rushed downstairs as I was instructed to , I found my mom talking to a taxi driver.
" Young woman get your self here we are running out of time". She said as we embark on our surprising journey, I felt a glimpse in my stomach I wanted to ask her but I decided to be patient but I was too anxious about the trip. So I decided to asked , I was amazed when I heard her saying she had enrolled me In a new school but I was also unhappy because I wasn't prepared.
"You will do great ok and show them who the smart kid is"my mom said . It was like she knew what was on my mind , it was really hard to start a new life in new York. Back in the united state I had a lot of friends but here is just like I was reborn. Once we arrive to the school, I saw many students and encountered a lot of new things.
"Mrs cater nice to meet you" There was a woman in a blue gown with glasses. She had a fair complexion, and I admired her hair a lot.She led us to the principal's office. I took a deep breath trying to calm the torrent of my nervousness, after some few questions the principal asked me ,I was asked to come to school tomorrow . My mom was so excited so she decided we should go to the mall to buy some school stuff I needed the next day.
" Once you get home baby free your mind and relax" you look tenses.i nodded my head then she stopped a taxi.
When we arrived home I went upstairs but not before giving a soft smile to my mom. I Sat down on my bed thinking about tomorrow and I wished I could go back to time , all these thoughts made me fall asleep.
