Later that afternoon, my class had been dismissed early and I walked home. I have to go home early because I need to help my mom at some house chores

My mom can't do all the house work because she is sick. Well she was diagnosed with cancer and she had been having some checkups but right now, we don't have enough money for her health.

So in order to help, I am the one who do all the works. The cleaning, cooking, the laundries and also taking care of my little sister, Jessica, which is still 8. We have a huge age gap.

My dad is working as a delivery man at some stores and earns money not enough to help our family. That's why I kept on telling them that, I will stop my studies and find a job to help the family.

Our family is really poor and that's why I don't deserve to be in Diamond High and this is the only thing that I can reach. I can't count to be with bunch of mean rich kids and I am not one of them. I know how to respect others like what Paul told me

But let me share you something...

My family had a high debt with the old billionaire name Douglas Wilson. He 's 56, had a very large successful business around the world. He is very terrifying yet you can see that he had been a handsome guy at his age.

My Dad once work at one of his company and he borrowed money from him to help my mom at her medicines and her surgery. She really needs financial support and we don't know where we get money from and we surely won't let my mom died because I won't let that happen.

"Mom, I'm home!" I shouted when I put my bag on the desk and rubbed my shoes at the rug before entering the house. Our house is just small and doesn't have a second floor but this is the happiest place and this where I will feel safe.

"Welcome home, dear" My mom came out from the kitchen, coughing "How's school?"

"It's good. Never been better" I lied.

I never tell them at what was happening at me at school. I don't want them to worry about me because they also don't have anything to do with it.

"Laura!" my little sister, Jessica, Aka Jess ran towards me and I got down ready to pick her up in my arms and twirl her around

Jess giggles cutely and gave me a sweet and soft kiss on the cheek "Can we play?"

"Ohh, sorry little girl. But I have homework to do so I can't okay with you today" I told her and pinched her nose and then put her down.

My little sister is just so cute. She actually looks like me when I was at her age. Although she is a little fatter than me.

I dont know but since I was born,  I was already thin. Well, since I really don't eat a lot so that's why I am too skinny. Other people think when they see is that if I was malnourished or something.

11:52 pm, I am still awake and studying because we have a long test in Geometry tomorrow morning and I don't want to failed so I really have to study so hard.

I was already sleepy when I heard our front door closed. Dad must be home already. I peeped at the door and saw Dad, looking tired as always.

"Laura, you're still awake?" He notices me

I nod my head and cross my arms "Yeah"

"How's your mom?" He asked rubbing his eyes and yawned

"They are ready sleeping" I replied "You? It's late"

Dad sigh deeply "I just got bumped into Mr. Wilson again so I got into a little chat and escaped when I had chance before he remembers about the money"

Oh...we have a unpaid debt to that guy. I think we can't even can pay that. It was too much yet...I don't want to ran away from it. It's very bad. We can go to jail.

"Well, just forget about it. I'll of something to get this problem over. Good night. You should get some sleep. You still have classes tomorrow" he murmured before giving me a kiss on the forehead and he went to his room with mom and Jess.

I really hope that luck will come to us and help my family. I know, someday...

Someday...

Someday, our life will be perfect and happy.

I know that day will come. All I have to do is work hard, pray and just be patient.
