The next morning went as all of them usually go. I wake up in the middle of the night, scroll through social media for hours, go downstairs and help mom with breakfast, get sent to my room while eating breakfast because my dad is a selfish asshole, and then go to he- I mean school.
When I got home, I was actually lucky for once! My dad was out gambling with some friends and he wouldn't be back until late at night. I'm not sure how a dickhead like him has real friends, but I guess anything is possible. I enter the living room to see my mom sprawled out across the couch watching some cheesy soap opera. As much as I despise cheesy shit like that, seeing her finally relax is worth the pain. I sit down in a nearby armchair, swinging my right leg over the arm and tucking the left leg under me. (he's gay, he can't sit in chairs correctly.) Pulling out my laptop, I set it in my lap and get to work on an essay for English.
"So...how was your day?" My mom suddenly blurts out, making me slightly jump at the sudden noise. "We never get to talk about what happens at school, and I really wanna know, Toni." I crack a small smile at the nickname, gender euphoria searing through my body.
"Eh, nothing interesting. We got to dissect a frog in bio, so that was pretty cool." She gags at that.
"Damn, that's disgusting. Did you actually enjoy that?" She chuckles, sitting up.
"I mean, considering how boring school usually is, yeah!"
"You are a strange, strange child. Have you eaten?" She reaches over and tosses me a bag of chips and a bottle of water. "I can make you something if you need more. I know you didn't eat breakfast."
"Thanks Momma..." I mumble, opening the bag of chips. "I don't need anything else."
"Are you sure? I highly doubt you ate lunch." I didn't, but she doesn't need to know that. I nod in response and she sighs.
"Well don't stuff yourself, sweetie. I just hope you ate lunch. I'm pretty sure you're required to eat something." I skipped the second half of school so...no. She ruffles my hair, placing a small kiss on the top of my head before laying back down. As I finish my homework, she finishes the soap opera, which turned out to not be as bad as I thought it would be. For once, the Higgins household is peaceful...
