Channelle's POV

"Your exams are around the corner" Mom sat down on the kitchen chair staring at me


"Yes ma"


"You don't look prepared or did you forget about it?"


I laughed nervously, "How can I forget my exams!" 

 I forgot about it at some point

"Something has been going on lately" she pointed out


"What?" I sat on the counter


"Something is wrong with you Channelle"


"Mom, trust me I'm fine! You can even ask Maris she'll testify to that"  

I'm not sure about that but let's give it a try


"Are you being bullied? Or there's something wrong with your school that you don't like?"


"Nah! The school is fine, everything is fine! I'm fine!"


"You don't look fine to me, always talking to yourself." She looked concerned


"Erm," I scratched my head "humans do that"


"I wonder where you got your facts from. Last time you said something about your school being weird"


"Did I?" I laughed it off


"Yes you did, is it still weird to you?"


"The feeling is gone" I smiled


"Okay but I know something is wrong with you. You better start reading"


I nodded my head.


"Something smells nice!" Uncle Harry walked into the kitchen with Maris trailing behind him


"Harry and Maris set the table please" Mom dished out the food


"Hey, Channelle! Are you okay?" I jolted out from my thoughts


"Yes!" I smiled, "hope you guys know how to set the table because that rat doesn't know how to"


"How dare you!" Maris thundered


"Oh shut up!" I dusted my dress " I'll be back in a minute"


"Nice one, Channelle" Maris clapped


"Channelle! Come down now!" Maris yelled like someone without respect


"I think it's high time you start adding some respect to that name" I looked into her eyes
