Part 8

Time to move. 

My mom is standing by the door, looking at me as I come closer to the front porch of the mansion. I had forgotten about my punishment with the school board after my subtle encounter with Stefan back at the car. I stood in front of her, waiting to be interrogated before finally let into the house. "Ellie." She called me. "I absolutely think you should leave your school."

"What do you mean?" My eye brows furrow, confusion washes over me. The only sound being heard was the continuous tapping of her fingers at the door. "Why would you say so?."

"Child," She strode in front me, staring at me with worried eyes. Sometimes, I feel she was hiding something from me, but you never can tell. "It has become dangerous." I moved away from her. "Mom. This is the fifth time I'm changing the location of study and this.." I pointed at her, "And this flimsy excuse is what I get. What exactly is the problem?"
