"I can't believe you scored the highest on our exams three times in a row," Yuni compliments as we walk up the stairs to my apartment.

I brush off the imaginary dust off my shoulders, "No biggie."

Recently we just got our test results back from our summer exam season. We won't have another one till winter, so now it's the time to live it up! I can't wait for fall festivities.

Me and Yuni usually have Halloween duo costumes. The best, if I do say so myself. We always win the costume contests at parties and I do also have to say we always kill it on the dance floor for dance contests too. We're practically unstoppable.

"What are you thinking for our costumes this year?" Yuni asks me.

"Hm, last year we were SpongeBob and Patrick so maybe this year.." I pause as I have a hard time turning the key to my apartment.

I push the door using my body to finally get it open.

I'm welcomed home to many cardboard boxes with labels like "kitchen," and "living room." Our tiny one bedroom apartment is practically empty. What is going on? Did we have enough for the bills this month?

My jaw is completely dropped and I'm actually frozen.

"What's up with your face?" Asks Yuni before entering my apartment. Her jaw drops also.

"Meow~" my cat greets as he moves around my leg.

"Toto, can you tell me why all our stuff is packed up?" I ask as if he'll actually give me an answer.

"Yo, you didn't tell me you were moving," Yuni says still as shocked as I am.

"I didn't get the 411 myself," I say finally walking more into my apartment. Should I even call it "my" apartment now seeing that I look like I'm getting kicked out.

"Oh! You're home!" Mom says popping up behind the kitchen counter.

"Mom, what's going on?" I ask.

"Oh, we're moving out," she replies nonchalantly.

"What?!" Me and Yuni shout at the same time.

My mom then looks at me up and down, "How many times do I have to tell you to be careful with your skirt?" She doesn't raise her voice or anything which makes me feel kind of concerned.

I must be actually dreaming. You know what, lets look on the bright side. What if we're finally upgrading. Two bedroom apartment, maybe?

"Where? And why didn't you talk with me about it?" I question her.

Me and mom are a team. Even if we're finally upgrading and moving out of this ratchet apartment, she could've at least told me. This has been my home my whole life after all.

My mom looks over at Yuni, "Yuni, I think your mom needed help at the bakery." Basically, Yuni's cue to leave.

"Gotcha," Yuni says then throws up a peace sign before exiting our apartment.

"Basically, I have two jobs now," My mom says.

I furrow my eyebrows, "Mom, you work so much already how will you be able to handle it?"

"I'm not only the housekeeper for the Yang's, but Mrs. Yang's assistant also," Mom finishes saying.

"What?!" I shout. 

The audacity of this family. Working my mom to the bone. What is her pay raise, a cent? They're the most stingiest, ungrateful, laziest family ever!
