"I HATE YOU" i screamed.
My mom stood as still as could be. She couldn't understand what she went wrong. She gave her shelter, food and everything else. What else is there?
"I don't understand. What do you want from me? Why did you go such lengths just to disobey me?" my mom tried to calm me down but i couldn't take it anymore.
"You don't listen. I tried talking to you but you just won't listen. I am leaving. I am staying at a friend's house"
"Oh no you're not. I won't allow it"
"Since when should i listen you when you won't even listen to my reasons in the first place".
SMACK!
There was a throbbing red bruise on my face and it hurt like hell.
"SEE! There's no point even telling you when you just slapped me for no reason"
"I did not slap you for no reason"
"Then?"
"It's cos you are so rude. I did not raise you to be a rude child"
"Well, I don't care anymore."
"Oh, you don't care do you?!?! Well, fine then. Leave."
"I'd be more than glad"

I turned and walked out the door. Headed straight to my friend's house, i thought bout what just happened. No, i can't go back now. It's too late. I said what i needed to say and i need some time off. If i didn't do what i did just now, i would never get this frustration out of me.

Alexandra Madeline Burberry has always been a good friend of mine ever since we were in kindergarten so i trust her more than anyone. She would stand up for me whenever the other kids would tease my name since it IS Humphella Corney. They would call me humpy or hump hella or hella hump or corney or hella corney or even hello corny. I always cried until Alex came into my life. She taught me to be a much stronger person. That is why i am at her doorstep now.

Alex opened the door. She caught my eyes which was red from all the crying when i was on the way.
"Oh my god. What happened ella?"
"Don't worry. I got into a fight with my mom. That's all"
"What do you mean thats all?!?! Did she kick you out?". It was so typical of her to get so worried.
"No. I left on my own will"
She led me to the living room of her house. Her parents are overseas and her aunt whom is taking care of her is out shopping. As always. Alex was a single child. I felt envious of that but sometimes pity her cos she feels lonely.
"Tell me everything"
"Well.."
"Well?"
Then a knock was heard on the door. Alex unlocked it and there stood this slim tall blonde. She looks like in mid-forties but she's still pretty.
"May i help you?" Alex asked her.
"I am looking for Mr. Burberry. Does he live here?"
