CHARM ACADEMY

Chapter three

ROSE'S POV

"Hey, b***c! give me some money!" My mom started to laugh crazily making me sigh

"Mom are you going to used them for gumbling agin?" I ask, not surprised but secretly mad and worried.

Mad because when the day my father died, my mom change. She used all our savings for drugs and even invite her friends for gambling and drink in our old house. Because of her doings she got fired at her work and we became homeless. Thankfully, one of my mom's friend gave us home that she didn't use and want us to live there for a while. Even after what we've been through, mom didn't stop buy drugs and gambling which Im mad about.

Worried because although Im mad at her I still love her, I always hear her crying everynight. I know she didn't move on from what happened about dad and Im so worried because there is this time that she didn't slept and cried for the whole night. I can hear her cause her room is besides mine.

"Yes!, and you can't do anything about it Rose!" She said as she grab my wallet and gave it to me empty. thankfully, I still have many wallet more that she didn't know about.

My mom hates me so much, because of me, my father died. It has to be me who died! and not him! It has to be me who trapped inside that room while the building is on fire. It had to be me who died and got burried. It has to be me! It need to be me! But fate suc** and it's him.

My mom is careless enough to find a job so I sacrifice. I found a part time job as a waitress in a resturant and the salary is big enough for me and my tuition at school. But my mom got obsessed with my money and always ask for money every-after class for her gambling. I can't deny her cause she is my mother and it's my fault why she became like this.

Because we are this poor, I learn how to steal things and sometimes expensive items every weekends. As I say the salary is big enough for us but because we need to pay the electricity, water, and goods it doesn't that enough.

I never been caught up when I stole something and never been prison because Im good at fighting, Im a black belter in teakwando since I was a child, thanks for my father who always train me, well I guess not anymore.

"I ALREADY HAVE A MONEY BITCHES!! LET'S START TO HAVE FUN TODAY!" My mother's loud laugh echoed as she went downstairs where her other friends are, also laughing while drugs and cigarettes on our table.

I shake my head repeatedly as I went upstairs were my room is. Tomorrow is Saturday and I found a perfect house to steal

SKIP TIME

It's already 11:00 pm and the owner of the house are already asleep, I look around the house and saw a window in the livingroom unlocked so I jump there carefully and silently

When Im already inside as I look around, the moon is only my light today but despite of the dark, I can still see laptop, cellphones, ipads, and other expensive objects scattered on the livingroom. I opened my bag and stole all of them. Thankfully, my bag is large enough that I stole last saturday so I can't leave other things behind.

When Im already done, I walk to the window to escape but then the light opened, making me panickally finding a place to hide which is behind the couch

A man went downstairs which I assumed the owner of the house. He went to the fridge to take a glass of water then was about to off the light when he turned around and examine the place

"Something's wrong in here?" I heard he whisper making me hissed. If he find out! Im doomed!

He looked the placed once again as he walk through the livingroom which I pressume I am in.

"We-were's my laptop?" he panickally ask then he looked at the window beside the couch were was about my exit and saw it open

"there is a robbery!" he shout! making me cursed multiple times. A young girl and a woman which I presuume his wife and daughter went downstairs too yawning because of the noide he made.

"What happened honey?" she ask

"someone rob us!" he pannick!

I need to find a way to get out in here as fast as I can but I can't find any ideas

"Maybe the robbers are still here hidding Pop"

And then they open the lights making me hold the bag even tighter. The steps are already 3 kilometer away from the couch making me close my eyes. Im going to be a prisoner right now!

There daughter went behind the couch were I am in making me stand up panickally and stumbled making me growl and cursed.

"did you hear that?" The daughter ask making me look at her in confusion

What? she is standing infront of me!

"Yes! I think the voice is something near here!" The woman said. They didn't saw me? I was standing infront of them but they didn't saw me? I find this moment to escape through the window silently in still a confused state.

"What's going on?" I mumbled as I ran far away from the house but then I look at my body and saw nothing? Making me wide my eyes. I cannot see my body, but I can touch them! I can touch my bag, but I saw nothing!

"HOW IN THE WOR......." I was about to shout when my phone beep which I stole last saturday too. It must be Aunt Cindy, the owner of were we lived and one of my mom's partner in crime, they dont know I stole things because they only thought I buy it which mom hate because I can buy things and she can't.

I grab my phone to my pocket and close my eyes for a second, when I opened my eyes I came back to normal?. I already saw the phone, I already saw my black jacket which I still stole, and I already saw myself. Maybe I was hallucinating or something earlier.

I shrug the thought off as I answer the call

her voice is somewhat scared, guilty, and sad

"Yes?" I reply as I started to walk again

she started to sob. That word made me stop in my position, focusing on what she is saying

"W-what is it Aunt Cindy?" I started to get worried

I started to get worried and trying to stop myself from asking question because confusion is killing me

"Aunt Cindy, please just go to the point, Im starting to worry here. What happened to mom?" My kneese are shaking, my hands is shaking, Im already biting my nails in worried, it's my hobby, I always bite my nails when Im worried, scared, or felt guilty.

Aunt Cindy is starting to sob again

"Im really sorry Rose, b-but y-your mother..."

"JUST GET TO THE POINT!" I can't stop myself from screaming, and the tears are starting to went out of my eyes as they roll through my cheeks

I dont know what happened yet but I can tell that something bad happened through Aunt Cindy's voice.

"Your m-mother got..........caught by the police"

I frozed, as the phone on my hand fall and broke, it c***k into little tiny pieces making the call end and my phone black out. but I didn't care anymore and started to run.

Wait for me mother, I'll save you
