CHAPTER 12

T
wo days later, after endless checkups and questions, the

doctor finally let me go. When we reached home, I ran
straight to my room before anything else could happen. But

before I could open my door, Mom shouted, “Where do you think
you’re going?!”

I answered with an angry face. “Uh, to my room? Since I can’t

even go out!”
I slammed the door, sat on my bed, took out my phone, and called

Mara. It wasn’t the right thing to do right now, but I was sure talking
to Mara would’ve kind of helped.

“Hey,” Mara answered, waving slowly through the camera.

“Hi. Terrible day, huh?” I sighed, a soft breath escaping me.
“Yeah. Are you okay, though?”

“Yeah, I’m fine for now. I probably can’t go to school anymore
because of this.”

She sighed in misery. “Well… I guess I’m the reason why you’re
in trouble right now.”

“Who said? It’s not your fault, okay? It’s just my parents being so

annoying and stressed about my health. Even though I’m okay right
now.”
