Happily ever After

Chapter eight

It's now 4:15 and I'm waiting for kris to show up so we can get ready together. As I wait I look in the mirror at my silky black hair that almost touch's my butt, and wonder if I should cut it or not. I mean sure it's probably the only 'girly' thing on me but I think I'm due for a change and hair can always grow back. So I grab the scissors and start to cut, I was actually not bad at cutting so I went a little shorter. I finally got it cut to were I wanted it. Barely above my shoulders, I loved it. I really did, it matched my personality more.

I hear my phone ring and answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hi sweetie"

"Mom!"

"Yes that's me"

"I haven't heard from you since you left mom. I miss you!"

"I miss you so much honey you don't even understand"

"How's New York treating you?"

"Ah I've been here way to many times it's boring at this point, but it's really beautiful this time of year with the leaves changing and falling"

"Okay let's brag about New York more because I've never been there and nope I'm not jealous one bit"

I hear my mom giggle through the phone. God I miss her.

"So how is school going are you enjoying it"

"That's funny. You should know the answer to that already"

"I know that you don't like school but is there anything interesting happening or has happened"

"Umm me and K have a date tonight if that's interesting"

"You and her always go out why would that be interesting"

"No mom IM going on a double date with her and two boys from our school"

"Really? I don't believe it, my Vanessa Has a date tonight and I'm not there to help her get ready"

"Yeah you never are" I say to low for anything to hear

"I don't know what you said hun but I got to get going. I love you, have so much fun tonight on your very first date!"

"Oh mom no ones even here and you're embarrassing me"

"What's mothers for?"

"Yeah yeah okay I love you"

"Bye sweetie"

"GoodBy-" I get cut of by her hanging up. Oh joy.

I wish she was home more often. I miss talking to my best friend. She always told me that she wanted to be different then the way her mother treated her. I understood her then, but now I can't help but think she's starting to become her slowly but it's happening and I know it is.

Speaking of my grandma I need to call her sometime, I love her but she's...well grandma. My mom still has a hard time with her but what do you expect. Adults are so confusing honestly, I'm afraid to be one.

My thoughts get rudely interrupted when I hear kris tromping up the stairs.

"So I heard that me and this bitch Vanessa are going on a double date tonigh-" she stops blabbering as soon as she looks at me.

"Oh. No. Fucking. Way!!!!" I cover my ears when she starts to scream yell in my room. "Vanessa! You cut your hair. oh my god" she looks at me through my full body mirror "oh my god".

"Yes I may have chopped a few inches but it was just dragging me down" I laugh at the way she's looking at me with awe eyes.

"So I've come to the conclusion." She smacks her hands together "that god took all his time on you and completely forgot about me."
