Her Take On Revenge
The one who laughs last, laughs the loudest
“Mum, please don’t make me go to school today,” Sandra pleads with tears running down her face.
She is hysterical, and not being melodramatic but Mum isn’t having it. She feels for Sandra but she needs to learn to deal with things in life and not expect to hide away whenever the going gets too tough. She is near on eighteen years old now. Time to toughen up.
“I’m sorry Sandra, you’ve got four weeks left and then you’re done. Now’s not the time to be skipping school,” Mum admonishes.
Sandra bows her head and trudges wearily up the stairs to grab her school bag. She was desolate and felt her mother didn’t have her back. Evelyn and Prue, her ex best friends, were making her life a living hell and she just couldn’t cope with it anymore. It’s okay for her mother to say there’s only a few weeks left, but they will be hellishly long, painful weeks.
As she slowly meandered her way back down the stairs, a few extra items placed away in her school bag, she calls to her mother, “I’m leaving Mum. I just hope you’re prepared for the consequences that will result from making me go to school.”
She sees her mother smile, believing that Sandra is exaggerating things now.
