Helena got into the shower and got ready for the day with her mother.

When she got into the kitchen José was already making her breakfast she sat down and ate the toast he made her.

‘So..’ José started. ‘How’s life in England’

‘Brilliant’ Helena replied.

‘And how are you doing at school’ José asked.

‘Pretty good, we’ve been very busy with our exams’ Helena answered, she didn’t like to talk to José for some reason José was more important to her mother than she was. This was just another person she had to compete to.

‘How’s your friend Lucy?’ José asked, he knew Helena didn’t like him because her mother spend more time with him than with her. But José wanted to let Helena know that he did really care what she was up to at school unlike her mother.

‘She’s good, yes she is she’s at her folks house now’ Helena asked, surprised José managed to remember Lucy’s name wile her mother always forgot names. Helena was surprised her mother managed to remember her name.

She looked up from her breakfast and saw her mother walk into the room followed by the barking dogs. Helena looked up from her breakfast and sighted annoyed.

Can those bloody dogs not be quiet at this time in the morning she wondered?

‘So dear how are you this morning?’ Peggy asked.

‘Fine thanks’ Helena replied than focused on her breakfast again.

‘Are you almost ready to go?’ Peggy asked.

‘Yeah sure’ Helena replied.

Peggy got up to get her coat and Helena’s

‘John will drive us to the museum and than we can have lunch and go shopping is that okay?’ Peggy asked because she saw on Helena’s face that she might not be into anything today.

‘Yeah I am, the question just is how long will you be able to stay?’ Helena asked and stared her mother in the eye.

‘What do you mean dear I have the whole day off to do the things you like’ Peggy replied with a innocent face.

‘Yes but each time you say you have the day off you’ll leave anyway because your wanted somewhere’ Helena replied annoyed.
