你 walk in the front door and before 你 can close it, she’s standing in front of you.
“Traffic on the way 首页 from school,” she says.
“Yeah, mom,” 你 say, rolling your eyes and walking past her into the kitchen. 你 weren’t in the mood for her games, 你 just wanted to 显示 up long enough for her to get off your case and let 你 go see Alex again.
“I know 你 weren’t at Summer’s last night,” she calls from the foyer as she comes to meet 你 in the kitchen.
“Oh really now,” 你 say, pulling out the 橙子, 橙色 果汁 and taking a drink, not even bothering with a glass.
“Marissa, don’t play these games with me,” she tells you.
“Games, mom,” 你 say, looking at her incredulously. “You don’t want to play games with me? Did 你 ever think I didn’t want to play your games?”
She looks at 你 with her infamous scowl before continuing. “What is this all about? The truancy, not coming home, sleeping at that 随意 punk chick’s house.”
“What,” 你 question, nearly spitting out your drink. 你 put your hand over your mouth as a precaution.
“I know where you’ve been, Marissa. I saw your car at her house this morning.”
“Oh, so 你 didn’t come barging in when 你 saw my car? How very thoughtful of you,” 你 say facetiously.
“Caleb 说 this girl was a troublemaker, and now I can see he’s right. I’m not going to have any daughter of mine dating a purple haired punk. Let alone one that’s a girl,” she tells you, and you’re shocked at how calm she remains. On the inside, you’re freaking out, because if Julie Cooper knows, so will everyone else. 你 maintain your resolve, not letting her think that she’s scared you.
Crossing your arms, 你 shoot her a look and say, “Oh, what are 你 going to do this time, pay her off? Threaten her? How low could 你 possibly get, mother?”
She takes a step closer to 你 and lowers her voice. “Now 你 listen to me. 你 know how this affected Luke’s father. There’s enough drama in our lives right now, what with this illegitimate child and your father leaving, I am not going to have all of Newport thinking that Julie Cooper-Nichol’s daughter is a lesbian,” she tells you, spitting out the last word as if it would leave a dirty taste in her mouth if she left it in there any longer. “You will stop seeing her, even if I have to see to it myself.”
你 realize that your mother mind is set and 你 know there’s no changing it, so there’s no use in trying. Giving her a flippant ‘whatever,’ 你 turn around and head out the door to your car. 你 refuse to let her see 你 cry.
