“Sapphire! Where are you? Come here!” I heard my mom's voice who was echoing at the whole house.
My door suddenly opened, and she made some holes in my door. I gasped when I saw her face.
“What are you doing to your life? Are you stupid?” She's glaring at me, and I can sense some veins on her neck, and fist.
“Does it true? I heard you're one of the secret investigators of Riego's family? Do you want to go to jail? ANSWER ME!”
The goosebumps immediately crawled to my body, and my heart began to race.
“Y-Yes, mother,” I whispered. I'm sitting at my bed while holding my laptop.
She threw something, and it landed on my floor. I decided to get it, but my arms were shaking.
“It's your grades! Some pictures that you're not at your classroom, instead you are talking to the other students inside of your office!” she raised her voice.
I looked at my card, and I arched my eyebrow. It's not failed, and it's not high, my grades were just the average of a normal student.
“I want you to stop investigating, you're not a licensed investigator, you're just a student, and your duty was to maintain peace, and monitor all the students, not to investigate any crime, it's not your duty!” I closed my eyes.
Not only that, but I lay on my bed, and hid under my blanket. She banged the door and closed it harshly.
I felt like some of the dirt from the wall was falling, and also the dust at the ceiling. Maybe, I need to clean my room tomorrow after my class.
In my opinion, my parents were not contented with my grades, it seems like they used it to make some segue to be annoyed with me.
I used to live like this every day, even if I'm sleeping, or resting my mind, and body.
They will disturb me just to say what they want, and to do what they want. Some of my bruises are from them, and sometimes I can't hold my tears.
One time, they shouted at me and hit me with a large rock, the rock leave some wounds, but I need to go to school.
If I didn't go to school, they will hit my whole body using a different kind of tools, and equipment.
Whatever their holding, it will mark my skin. Sometimes, I'm afraid to wear some sleeveless, and shorts because I know, my scars are going to appear.
I moved and decided to lay sideways, my back is hurting, and my neck was not comfortable from that position.
“Breaking news! There are some events that the people are dying with a stab on their stomach, however, their organs were missing, and some of their faces were broken, we are reminding everyone to keep safe, and be alert to your surroundings!”
I heard from my television when I decided to open it.
I gasped when they show the actual photos of the victims, however, they blurred the sensitive view.
It's already 10:39 in the evening, and I need to review for my finals. Next week is our final exam.
They will base to our exam if they are going to accept the student, or not based on the standards.
When I'm going to hold our school, I will remove the high standards, because many of the students, children, and adults are want to enroll in some University.
The standards can cause some discrimination, and I don't want to happen it. However, I'm not holding our school.
My parents were holding it, so I couldn't say my suggestion, because my relationship with them was not stable.
We are not okay because of my little brother's destiny. They keep mentioning it, and they will keep to blame it with me.
I sighed and decided to move to the other side of the bed. Before I forgot, I already put back the laptop to where it belonged.
I pulled my hair, and scream but I couldn't make any sound. I want to escape from this house! I want to explore something.
If I'm going to have some chances to choose the people that I wanted to be my parents, I will accept the opportunity.
Call me selfish, or not minding my parents because they raised me, and they are giving me some food, however, it's no valid reason for me.
Yes, I agree that they spent some money just to raise me, and to maintain my education, but in exchange for that, they will hit me, and tell me some heartbreaking words.
I won't deny that I'm not the type of person who was going to talk first, unless someone will approach me, and will going to talk with me.
Oh, No! I'm unable to keep my eyes wide open. I stretched my arms because it might be that I'm just feeling some ants That were crawling to my back.
I decided to call Harvey, I want to hear his voice.
“Hello?” I greeted. I waited for him just to answer the call.
He doesn't want to speak from the other line, however, I command him to speak, because I want to listen to him.
I closed my eyes and smiled secretly. He's starting to sing while strumming his guitar.
I fixed my position, and record it. It's hard to ask him for singing and hear him play some instrument.
Likewise, I remembered something from our childhood. He used to play the guitar while I'm singing a song for him, and he will play the notes from it.
A wide smile was drawn on my lips, and I felt like my cheeks were turning pink. He stopped singing after a few minutes.
I speak slowly, “Your voice was amazing.” I heard him gasp from the other line.
He responded, and said he's thankful for my compliments.
I assumed that he felt embarrassed, and happy at the same time. I heard from the other guy that the man was most least to receive some compliments, so when someone compliments them, they will never forget it.
I don't know if that's true or not, it doesn't matter for me, I'm just going to compliment him whether he likes to keep it in his heart, or it will go to his right ear, and will end at the left ear.
It's like he's listening to me, but he's not understanding me. The call ended.
I couldn't stop myself from yawning. I need some rest, so I can easily answer my final exams.
It doesn't matter if I'm the daughter of the owner, if I failed, they are going to transfer me to a different school.
I won't let it happen, because Harvey will be left at the school, while I'm going to transfer somewhere in a secret way.
So, the best answer is to review a lot and keep in mind all the studies. Sometimes, my head was going to explode.
I want to sleep! My body can't resist my tired eyes and mind.
After the silence conveyed my whole room, the darkness also conquered my vision.
