Cethany

Chapter 5

"How was school?" my mom asked, grinning ear to ear.

"Just because you ask me the same question every single day doesn't mean my answer's gonna change, mom." I replied, tired. Not only from school, but tired from all the things going around me.

"Sorry."

"There was a new kid at school today. Well he doesn't go here yet. He's coming tomorrow." I suddenly said.

My mom shot up from her seat on the couch. "Really? And who is that?"

"Some guy. He was nice but I bet that's just because he doesn't know what status I hold in school yet."

"What was his name, sweetie?" my mom asked, looking genuinely interested.

"Connor. Connor Franta." I mentally drooled just thinking about him. I tried holding back a small smile that gave away what I thought about him.

"Oh. Franta?" She said. My mom squirmed in her seat a little, looking suddenly very uncomfortable on our very plush couch.

"Yeah... You recgonize that name?"

"No." my mom said too fast. Deciding to play along, I nodded and grabbed a snack from the kitchen. As I was about to walk the stairs up to my room, my mom stopped me.

"Watch out for that kid."

"What, Connor?"

"Yeah." she replied bluntly. Nodding once again, I made my way up to my safe haven.

What the actual fuck.

I wasn't much into mystery and figuring out the puzzles, because well..... it never involved me like nothing happens in my life truthfully.

But I want to figure this out.

CONNOR'S POV:

"How was the tour around school?" My mom asked when we got to our home.

"It was pretty cool. The school's big." I said.

"Did you talk to any kids?" she asked, occupied by trying to make us a snack. "What do you want?"

"I'll just eat a banana. And Yeah. I did," I replied truthfully, trying really hard to keep a straight face.

"Oh, who?" My mom threw me a banana, me catching it with one hand.

"Bethany. Bethany Mota." That was it. I couldn't keep my grin from appearing. I blushed a little, looking at the floor.

"Oh... Mota?" my mom asked hopping from one foot to another.

"Yeah... Is there a problem? You seem a little nerv-"

"No!" she yelled. "I mean.... no. You should go up to your room and get ready for your first day of school tomorrow."

"I thought you said I could start next week," I said.

While we were talking to the principal of the school, I asked my mom if I could start next week, just so I can be more prepared.

"Right. Right, next week." My mom then just tapped her finger on her leg and preceded to make herself a snack. I could hear her muttering 'Mota.' to herself.

She wasn't usually like this... always on guard, so jumpy.

That was weird.

I wasn't a complete dumbass to not know that something happened between my mom and someone else related Bethany.

I wanted to figure this out.

//

something happened between Bethany's mom and Connor's! Any guess on what it is?

I'm still debating on whether to continue this story or not so lemme know if I should by commenting or voting. Thanks!
