Chapter 17 A Normal Experience

Carolyn "You have to be done with your breakfast on time, Amelia or you will be late for school." Mrs. Barlow said as she turned from the sink and found out that I was still eating. "I will be done now." She placed all the dishes she had washed into the dish stand and wiped her hands. "You should. You don't want to show them that you are a latecomer." "You should have asked me to wash those." I told her, referring to the dishes. She snorted. "And have you get late to school? Never. You don't have to worry about house chores in the morning. I've got that covered. You only have to worry about your schooling." "Mum," "You can do house chores when you get back from school." She said. "Cool." I smiled, finishing the last of my meal. "Where is my food flask?" I asked, looking around. "I told you yesterday that I already paid for your school meals. Did you forget that?" She smiled. "You will have to have your lunch in the cafeteria as from now on." "Mum," I groaned out in protest.
