Her 2 Dads

Trouble + Report card Pt.1

Mae pov:

It's been a week since we had Xavier and his moms over for dinner. Are parents really get along. 

Xavier and I have been dating for 2 days now. I love him so much. Just my luck today is report card conference. 

How fun..... We had a half day because of it. Right now I'm in the kitchen working on English homework. Ughhhh.

"What you doing?" Matthew asked coming downstairs 

"What does it look like I'm doing." I say sarcastically

"Geez, okay I get it." He says annoyed sitting down next to me.

"Can you at least tell me if you like this?" Matthew says showing me a sketch 

"Ughh I will look at it later not right now." I say aggravated.

"Mae bee I think you need a minute, go to your room." Papi says gently as he is coming from downstairs where his mini office is.

"Ughh no I don't." I say annoyed bitting my lip

"Excuse me?" Papi says as his Spanish accent kicks through.

"I said I don't need a minute." I say rolling my eyes

"niña... ¿estás bromeando? ve a tu cuarto ahora." Papi say's sternly. Which means: 

(little girl...are you joking? Go to your room now.)

"And what if I don't want to." I say now realizing what I just said and biting my lip.

With that Matthew gave me a look that screamed are you crazy. 

"Mae Elizabeth Garcia Peterson..." Papi said through his teeth 

"What." I say disrespectful 

Geez, I don't know if I ever been this disrespectful...what is happening to me?

"What is happening down here?" Dad asked coming from upstairs probably in his room

"Well our hija (daughter) is being very disrespectful, I asked her to go to her room to cool off and she told me she wasn't going." Papi said upset

"Mae is this true? And don't lie to me." Dad said sternly 

That being said papi and dad both looked at me. God why didn't I just go to my room.

"I umm...yes." I say in a defeated tone 

"Alright well why don't you go to my room then." Dad said straight forward. There is no way I can debate that.

My parents don't like lecturing or punishing us or anything in our room. Our room is a safe space.

With that I just got up rolled my eyes and followed dad up the stairs.

"I saw that...watch your eyes ." Papi warns making his Spanish accent sound scary.

As I get into my parents room all I can think about is I messed up.

"Sit." Dad says in a serious tone as I sit on the bed.

"Now explain to me Mae Elizabeth why you were giving your papi such a hard time about going to your room?" Dad asked sternly as he is sitting next to me

"I don't know...I just didn't want to go to my room." I say as I look down at my parents rug

"Mae if your told to do something you have to do there is no other option..Do I make myself clear ? " Dad said sternly while lifting my chin for me to look at him.

"Yes dad." I say trying not to break Eye contact.

"So you have a choice I can either take your phone again for a 2 week or you can get punished?" Dad asked in a serious tone

Ughh I just got my phone back yesterday and I don't want to get punished....Might as well let him have my phone.

"My phone..." I Say quietly while looking at my feet again

"Alright...but little girl let this be a warning, If I have to speak to you at all again this week you will be getting punished..Do you understand?" Dad asked sternly 

God I hate when my parents are stern with me. If I would of just went to my room none of this would have happened.

"Yes dad I understand." I say while biting my lip

"Good, Now you can go to your room, You also need to apologize to your Papi and your brother too for being disrespectful and being mean to them,  it doesn't have to be now, just make sure u do, I love you. " Dad said as he kissed my forehead

"Okay, I love you too." I say as I get up and walk out their bedroom door and to my room.

Ughhh, Great now I don't have my phone.... again.

At least, they didn't ask about my report card. Which English class/ Read 180 is an F. The reason why I don't do the work. The work I have been doing is fake. I printed it from the printer.

"Mae, Come here." Papi says from downstairs, sounding upset.

"Okay..coming." I say as I walk downstairs.

"Yes?" I ask confused.

"Mae Elizabeth Garcia Peterson, What is this?" Papi said as his spanish accent coming through, Holding up my printed fake English homework...

 Uh oh...
