"Um, nows not a good time Alex." Jennifer said. "I got a lot of homework and like mom's gonna be here shortly, I'm sorry, I just think it's not gonna work out." Jennifer lied.
Well, lied in part, she did technically have homework, and she didn't surely have any affection for this kid she never met before in her life.
Alex looked defeated as he had tried his best. "Oh ok, well I can come tomorrow right?" He smiled.
Jennifer winced, giving him all the answer he needed before she could say anything at all. Alex's smile disappeared as he slinked away.
Jennifer felt a level of remorse, she didn't mean to break up with him like that, maybe she should have said something. Jennifer shook her head, it didn't matter now. Jennifer used her time to grab her schoolbag as she decided to finish her homework, if anything to distract herself from the curse, somehow middle school math just seemed simple to her, and simplified the problems she was currently facing.
It wasn't long till Jennifer's mother had returned home, rightfully mad looking for Jennifer.
The door slammed open. "Jennifer Smith!" her mother shouted. "Why weren't you at the match today?"
Jennifer gulped. "I didn't want to go." She said, "I don't care about soccer right now mom, I just want to focus on my homework."
Jennifer's mother stared down at her with burning coals. "When you are apart of a team you cannot just abscond whenever you feel like it! Let this be a lesson, no phone for a week, you are grounded!" Jennifer's mom slammed the door behind her, leaving her old poster on the back of her door to fall down.
Tears rolled down Jennifer's face, she hadn't been chewed out by her mom since she was well, today years old. She continued to try to work through her problems, tear drops blotting the papers.
By dinnertime, her mom had calmed down alot, and the two had a cold, distant dinner but still they exchanged hugs before bed. Jennifer winced again at her body as she looked at her options for pajamas, pink princess or purple unicorns, there were not a lot of options, despite being a teenager, she still had the body of a tween. She hated being the runt of the class, stupid curse. Jennifer flipped under her covers as she did nothing but stare at the dark ceiling until she fell asleep.
