Chapter 79

• It was on the sports day, the next phase of the ongoing competition. My father had warned me not to partake in the competition, and I had agreed with him. Though my mom, Florida, wanted me to partake in it, I would not partake in it.
• The students were anticipating my coming as they were calling my name, hailing me, and expecting me to jump over to the school field, and represent the school, but I was not ready for anything like that.
• I was sipping my hot tea when my mom walked into my room aggressively. "Amaya, what the hell are you still doing here?" She blew hot. I dropped my tea on the floor and responded in a calm, but unwavering sound"Mom, I told you I am not going to partake in that competition. Can't you just get this straight?"
