A PLACE CALLED HOME

The cold room

It's cold inside Tessa room has she hear her mom and dad arguing seriously about something

This feels like a routine for them everybody arguing on important and unimportant stuff

Tessa move close the door she could hear her mom insulting her dad, Him also doing the same

she signed. She look around the room everything feels cold not because of the weather is cold

Her room is warm but she feels cold. She signed again climbing on the bed trying to sleep, closing her eyes Tessa think about her life she's 15 years, she has never feel like she has parents, Her parent travel for business when their at home they argue whenever she try spending some time with them like telling them she want to go somewhere they just ask a maid to accompany her, She tried catching their attention by been the epitome of a "good girl" - straight A's, class representative, volunteer work... everything to impress her parents. But they were always too busy, still they don't care

sometimes she causes trouble just so they could see her instead her parents just send their subordinates to take care of things

She lives in a mansion, they have 6 maids all that she can ask to do anything for her

People thinks she's lucky but she don't think so herself.

Tessa open her eyes gently and look at the door

turning away from the door she fold her leg together close her eye again determined to sleep

after 26 minutes she slept off

After like one hour later Tessa's parents stop arguing

Exactly 6:30am Tessa's alarm ring loudly, she stretch her body then off the alarm

She stand up from the bed and went to do her routine before going for breakfast. Tessa doesn't really like people helping her with stuff she likes preparing herself for school instead of a maid doing for her

She went downstairs sat on the dining table after exchanging greetings with the maid there, there is a lot of meals on the table, she point at what she want and the maid serve her after few minutes her mom get down from upstairs seeing her moving towards the door Tessa shouted MOM Sandra her mom look back smile at her and said morning darling, Mercy will take you to get what you want for that stuff after school byeee after she said that she left, Tessa signed gently and continue eating her breakfast. if you are wondering who Mercy is she's Tessa nanny she takes care of Tessa needs. After she's done with her food Tessa left school till she leave the house her dad hasn't got out of his room
