I left my bedroom and quietly walked downstairs to sneak up on mom since she was downstrais in the kitchen and I wanted to suprise her.

She worked as a teacher - which meant she knew everything and I couldn't fool her like silly things most teenagers did, like when you had school but they'd say its bank holiday or when they wouls say they had intervention or after school session and they would just lie like that - I didn't do these stuff but I knew many who did, and yes, unlike my parents they would believe their kids.

I'm not saying she didn't trusted me- because she did, it's just the part about her knowing everything about school that you couldn't lie. Even thought I would never lie - ever. Luckily, she didn't work at Elmond high - my high school - but in a diffrent high school.

I rememberd when she tried taking me out of my high school to her "Trinaty high school." beacuse she thought it wouls be easier for both of us, however Trinaty high - which was Elmond high's biggest rival, in football but some rumors say that the headteacher's disliked eachother but that's just a rumore and we all know thy aren't true - Well, most rumors anyway.

It was kinda like Vampires high and Werewovles high you know both hated each other - that's what I learned in Twilight. Not exactly, They were in high school but they didn't have these seprate high schools.

If I'd got accepted there, people would ask me which was my Ex-highschool and if I'd told them it was Elmond high, I probably would have been the one everyone would disliked.

Just like Natasha who moved to our high beacause her parents had a divorce - she had moved in with her Mom. Since she moved to our high school, she was bullied until - that's another story. . . Anyway's, I had to beg Mom to stop, but she wouldn't listen to me until when Mrs brown - my Maths teacher - told her it would have an effect on my studies. Only then did she agree to let me continue my studies in Elmond high.

Meet Mom - she's magical and brave, she's smart and funny and she's good at cooking! She can be steern at times but only if I don't do what she asked me to do.

Mom was cooking in the kitchen,
And it smelled so good. Since she was cooking in the kitchen she didn't notice, and she had her back to me. I quickly placed my hands on her eyes, I heard her gasp but then she relaxed as quickly.

"Zarina, I know it's you darling." she said,

"Mom! That's not fair," I whined,

Then she repitied that shakesphere line "All is fair in love . . . " she repeted what shakesphere had written
. . .and war, I thought.
Mom loved shakesphere, and since she is an English teacher - teaching about Shakesphere like - Romeo and juliet, Midnight summer dream - is what she does. It must be getting to her head.

"Mom-" I said while streching the "M" longer, and it made me sound like I was whining, "-You should take a break from teaching," I didn't really mean it, I knew Mom enough to know that teaching was something she was passionate about.

"Oh, you little cheeky girl!" she replied amusment in her voice.

"I'm not little anymore Mom,"

"You'll always be my little baby girl,"

"Aw, mommy," I hugged her tightly. I loved my Mom so much, I could never let anything happen to her - God forbid, she was always there for me.

"Miss daleson,-"

uh-oh, My surname only meant one thing I did something wrong and it was a bad sign. I quickly crossed my fingers it hoping it not a lecture about me doing sword fighting. She disapproved of me doing such things like I would get injured or something.

"- unless you want to choke me to death you better stop hugging me so tighly this instant." She used her matter of fact voice, amusment in her silky voice.

I sighed, Pheew! I thought I would get busted.

When I let go, she turned around to look at me, People said Mom didn't look like a teacher or a women with a daughter who is 16 years old, not at all, not with those acres of brunette hair and her petite frame and delicate features. She eschewed makeup as a waste of time, and her bare face only seemed to enhance her natural beauty.

I threw my arms around her and buried my face in the comforting bend of her neck. "You know you're the best Mom in the entrie world right?," I said, my words muffled against skin scented with a combination of rosemary and perfume.

" Yes, I also know that I've got the best daughter too."

When Mom stiffened like she was thinking about something, I gripped her all the tighter. Her hand patted the spot above my left shoulder blade, so softly.

"I have lot's to cook! Let me do my cooking, love." She said,

"What's the speical occasion?" I asked, Mom mostly cooked alot if we had guests or someone speical coming over. Who is it now?

"Does it have to be a speical occasion?-" She chuckled,

"I just thought... Nevermind.So,what are you cooking?"

I bend down and wiped the foggy- watery surface of the glass and saw something I couldn't believe my eyes, my eyes widen.

Broiling a nice juicy steak until it was spattering and hissing and crusts were in all the right places and it was wonderful. Roasting a chicken and seeing the skin crisp up in the oven while the meat goes tender beneath it was such a lovely view, too. And most of the ills in the world can be cured with a few savory chicken-stuffed dumplings, dripping broth and juice.

Yummy! I thought.

"Is there anything I could do?" I asked,

"You can start by getting the dinner table rea-" She narrowed her eyes, "-Zarina. What have you done now?"

"What do you mean?" I said, I just wanted help.

"Really? 'cos the last time I remember you asking for help young lady, was to tell me you got into a fight! Now, what did you do? Wait, don't tell me. You got you're self into other fight?"

"Mom! It's not like that, I just wanted to help."

"Yeah, sure you do." Sarcasm in her voice.

"Accually, there's one thing I want to ask yo-" She cut me of and burst out laughing,

"See? What did I say? I know my daugter too well."

"MOM, let me finish. I wanted to go to fencing with Jem. Can I go Mom? Can I? Can I?" I pledged, Mom dissaproved of me swordfighting. She thought I would get hurt, if only she knew.

"Zainra Daleson, how many tim-"

"Please Mom. You know I love fencing," I saw her think, she knew I wouldn't stop until she gave in.

"Alright," Just as I was about to hug Mom agian, someone burst through the doors inside and who I saw next was the most suprising thing in my life. As my eyes widend and my mouth formed "O".

It can't be-

We haven't seen each other for such a long time.
