I look down to the mail, my toothpaste from my mouth started to seep through my smile. I spit the minty toothpaste out smearing my face. I ran to the kitchen where Doris was hovering over the stove she hadn't said her good morning yet: it meant she didn't know how to approach me.

"Doris! I got accepted!" The neat letters on the paper saying I've made it in the college for medical school.

"It's a great place too, not so far where we are." Doris chimed in.

"Oh. . " she noticed my expression wryly.
"Erm, you can alwa-"

"No. She's my one and only blood line, an link to my mother. My mother wouldn't turn her back on her own."

"How would you know?" Doris question wasn't as rash. It was genuine.
It was an question I scratched away.

"Oh what's for breakfast." Nana walked through the doors. She had an yellow gown on today.

My eyes grew wide, I became figid under her sudden presence.

"Oh, scrambled eggs and hash brown's, with an small pancake on the side. Sausages are soon to be done. Would you like to eat now?" Doris says she gave me a exchanging confused look.

I gulp. Don't freak Nan. Don't freak.

"I would, if Remedy wishes to having her's right now."

"No I'm not-" my stomach grumbles darn you! Growls.

I let out an unsteady laugh. While Doris and Nan exchange.

I sat to roughly, causing the seat to screech. I hunched my shoulders. But Nan was droning out while I turn my gaze to her to speak since I had that chance.

But it died. It's her meds.
I thought to myself.

"You hear your great grand-daughter is going to medical school." Doris spoke beaming ear to ear with her dazzling smile.

I seem to slump in my seat deeper.

"Erm. Huh." I shovel the fluffy eggs into my mouth. I'm off guard. Baffled.

You are not like this to quiver.

"Yeah. Nan for you. " I say boldy.

She shoots an surprised look.
"Honey. Don't burden yourself to me. . It's not what your mother would want."

"It is to." I snap back. She cannot say I can't because my mother wouldn't want this for me she abandon me. I knew that. She went missing at twenty five she had me at twenty one. It's all in the documents.

At this Nan looked speechless, even Doris was open mouthed staring at me.

She called you honey! I boomed with delight inside. Nan never spoke of anything like that.

"Oh. Come on. I'm doing this because I want to." I stand from my seat.

Biting onto my bottom lip to stop myself from being rudely taking off with my plate. But my aroma of self stink bothered me.

"I'll be back." Taking a lock of grease from my head tucking it behind my ear.

I seen the disappointment in Nans eyes. I didn't dare look to Doris.

"You gave up your art degree, just remember dear. It's un cure able." My Nan says before taking a sip of her tea.

It. Was. All. So. Bitter.

One time Remedy. One time and you mess up the convocation.

It's been two whole weeks.

The last week's of Dan.
He was going off to another college far from here. And I avoided him.

I'm apparently the crazy hookup.
The rumors were spread and there's no looking back.

It was either Tina's bitter tongue. Or Alfonso. I was on full predator mode.

After hearing what I heard.

Even the halls clear path for me, my face shown I was ready to kill. I was nearing the lockers as Alfonso laughed with couple of his mindless friends.

It was the last day of this cheep school I didn't attend to. I only came for the library now that's ruined.

"Whao, crazy girl alert alert." His friend announced. Before Alfonso even turned to face me.

"I am no hookup. No play thing. And most certainly. Not crazy."

"You sure. Little Lilo and Dan scene in the visitors hall there. . couple weeks ago most certainly shown that you and dream boy were showing trouble in paradise." With his cheep come back.

I laugh. I laughed so hard, I fake a clutch to my stomach. I slammed my hand to the locker next to him. Losing all the bounce in my laugh my expression shown bitter.

"I dealt with rumors and cheep jocks like you." My voice strain.

"So back off. Perv."

What I learned is that boys. Get affendend to terms to : pervs, man whore, gay. Etc..

He curled his mouth into a sick smile.
"Since you arn't riding Dan why-"

"Man whore" that. That. Made him clenched his teeth.

Soon heels came into the hall that students seem to linger around at the scene.

"If I can only hit you." I mutter.

"What is this?" Tina's voice sprung in.

"Who did it? Huh. Who said I was a petty whore stringing myself to every boy that is nice to me." My eyes swept to both of them.

Tina gasp. Alfonso knit his brows together in true confusion. My throat dried I gulp and it felt like something sank in the bottom of my stomach.

"You?!" I blinked at Tina.
"You of all people. Sure this man can be disgusting and pathetic. But you. You turn on me just because you. Still. Believe in hi-"

Tina's face paled. "It it- it was Alfonso who said it was funny."

My mind rumbled it all connected it wasn't that hard to, oh hell no Tina you stoop this low.

"So you choose to be childish and spread an false rumor. To get his attention." My mouth flew with distaste of the words.

Tina pouted. "No.. huh Fonso"

"Don't Fonso me" he snickered with both hands up, he seemed amused at this.
"And to note Tina dear. No I don't want you back " he clasp both hands together while he says it sincerely.

She gasp and storms off tears stinging her eyes.

Well that's over. my mind still rambled with betrayal.

"So. . " Alfonso neared me. I knit my brows together.

I chuckled and shake my head, while I walked out. Every step felt heavy.
