"How was school today," Elena asked. Ava angrily dumped her school bag and lunch box on the floor as usual, even though her mother had scolded and asked her to learn to keep her things tidy. Her grandmother instead encouraged and cheered Ava to do as she wished according to her the servants were paid to pick u
Say what?***************Narrators pov****************Curiosity got the better of Elena and she decided to take Ava to school and not the driver. The only thing Ava had talked about for the past week was about the new girl in her class."My friends keep saying that we look alike, mum, but we don't. Her hair is cropped and she is skinnier and darker than me and I'm way prettier than her. ""You don't say." Elena smiled at her overdramatic daughter.
My love, my life, my everything*************Elena's pov*************I've had it up to my neck with Ava's whining and complaining. The new girl had rattled her up so bad, nothing seems to satisfy her any longer, all she does now is trying to outdo the new girl.I have shouted, cajoled, and even threatened to withdraw her pocket money but she has become worse. I only pray it's just a passing phase, sometimes I wish her father was around to talk to her, maybe he would have done a better job than me.I will be filing for a divorce tomorrow at my lawyer's office. I'm hoping that this would give me the closure I need to move on with my life.

It was either that or lose my self-respect and dignity.
