"Honey, how was school?" Mom asked tiredly.

"It was okay," I shrugged.

"That's good. Anyway, we're gonna stay here awhile after all."

"Oka— wait, what?!"

"Umm, I would like you to meet my new boyfriend, Nathan, and his daughter, Maddilyn."

"Hello," a tall guy said, waving. The auburn haired girl was just giving me one killer glare.

"Uhh, hi..." I responded stiffly.

"Well, me and Nathan are going to go into the kitchen, Maddilyn, please make yourself at home.

Maddilyn waited until they were gone and jabbed a finger into my chest. "Don't get all buddy-buddy with me, because this does not make us friends!" She spoke harshly.

I put my hands up in defense. "I never said we were friends!"

She turned her back to me and crossed her arms. "Good. The only reason I'm here is because... I want my dad to be happy."

A look of sympathy adorned my face as I stared at the ground.

She turned around and glared at me as she walked upstairs. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. Everything is just turning downhill for me. What's next?

My phone got a text message. Oh great, a prank caller already. (Right side is snow)

Hi.

Who is this?

Wow, rude. I'm not gonna tell you anyway.

Whatever. Could you just leave me alone?

No.

Why not?

I need you.

Haha, very funny. No you don't.

Yes I do. You need to talk to bloom.

How? She doesn't even talk to me. Wait— are you a stalker?

No. Well, maybe— that's not the point. You need to talk to her.

Like I said before, she doesn't talk.

Yes she does, it just takes awhile.

...how do you know this?

I just know, ok. Hop to it.

And what if I don't?

I will kill you and your family.

Stalker.

Just stop, ok, it's a simple task.

Fine. But only for Mom.

Good. There's a deadline btw. Cya.

What have I just gotten myself into?
---
"Thank god I don't have school with you. At least I have something to look forward to every morning."

I only nodded, not wanting to start a fight.
---
"Do you talk?" I asked Bloom.

She shook her head, staring intensely at the teacher. What am I gonna do now?! Oh— I know! I scribbled on a piece of paper and tossed it to her. Welp, there goes my tiny ounce of dignity left. (Right is Snow... again)

Hi

Hello

Yay! What's up?

Nothing much. You?

I'm ok. I guess.

?

This class is boring. Don't you ever get bored of it?

Well— sometimes. I keep getting held back for some reason.

Oh.

Yeah.

"What's this? Passing notes? You two are in deep (shít) trouble"

I groaned to myself. You really didn't notice all the other people doing this stuff? What a lame teacher.
---
"Yes, Mrs. Brooks, Snow had been note-passing! What, really? Oh. Ok. Bye now!"
She turned to Bloom, "What's your parents' phone number?"

She shrugged. She put her hands on her hips, "Well if you don't tell me, we're staying here all day."

She wrote one down and handed it to her. As she patiently held the phone to her ear, the John Cena song started playing. I fell on the floor breaking out into a fit of laughter until my chest hurt. The teacher was fuming.

"Both of you will get detention tomorrow! Go home. Now!"
---
"Snow Elaine brooks, what were you thinking?! Note-passing?! Are you some middle school lover?"

"Umm..."

"Don't "umm" me! You know the rules long and well—" She sighed. "Just— go up to your room please."

I trudged upstairs to my blue room. It had an ocean wallpaper— I love oceans!

(It looked something like that)
I fell on the bed and sighed to myself. When will I ever get a break?

"That was a pretty rough lecture you had." I screamed, bumping my head into the wall.

Ow.

There Maddilyn was— leaning on the doorframe.

"But seriously? Note-passing? I'm so disappointed in you. How old are you?! Five?" She groaned to herself before walking out.

I sighed again, falling into the bed again with my arms spread apart, letting my hair fall on my face.

I don't need another mother.

What I need is a friend.
