I walk to class and Ms. Williams is sitting at her desk, rubbing her temples. "What's wrong Ms. Williams?" Bella, the butt kisser asked. "Everyone shut up!" yelled Ms. Williams. Minutes later, Justin walked in the room and sat next to me. "What's wrong with her? Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." he laughs. "I know. I can't wait until the school year is over and we get to spend the whole summer in each others arms." I smiled. "How is your mother doing?" he asked. "She's very..." I trailed off. I thought about how she was doing and we never talked after Ariana was born and dad became lost. She's been really tired and still has to go to work so she drops Ariana off at the daycare down the street. I think Ariana is the only ray of sunshine she has left in her life. If I was apart of her hapiness, she doesn't act like it. "She's probably not home today." I tell him. "Ok so I might stay longer today

for homework." Justin says.I love it when Justin comes over because he always helps me with my chores and with Ariana. He has 8 other siblings, so he likes it over there because its more quiet.

The school bell rings after 45 boring minutes. We both get our stuff from our lockers and walk out of the school together. After ten minutes of non-stop talking, we get to my house and I open the door. When I walk into the royal blue living room, I put my stuff on the table and so does Justin. When I walk into the kitchen, I see my mom sitting with Ariana feeding her with a very tired and annoyed look on her face. She had a messy bun on top of her head, with her brownish-reddish hair was falling out of the bun and onto her face. "How was school today hon?" she asks. "Pretty good, I guess." I say. "How are you, Justin?" she half smiles. "Couldn't be better." he says. "That's good to hear." she says. "We can feed Ariana, if you like?" he suggests. "That would be great, but you guys need to work on your homework." she says, trying to pry Ariana's mouth open for her spoon to get in. "If you insist." I say walking over to Ariana, kissing her head and take the spoon out of my mom's hand and Ariana volentarily opens her mouth and lets me feed her. Then my mom keeps feeding her and Justin and I grab a snack from the pantry and head upstairs.
