An excursion with consequences

Chapter 1

It was late by the time I ran home and prepared for my parents' lecture. The church clock struck midnight. So late at night, the streets were not only very dark but also unsettlingly empty. When I got home 10 minutes later, I saw my mother looking through the window. She opened the door for me and looked at me expectantly. "T-I'm sorry, but I can explain everything." I walked into the house and quietly closed the door. "I'm curious about that," replied my mother. To be honest, I was excited to hear my explanation too. I couldn't think of a credible explanation, so I just smiled at her apologetically and hoped that was the end of it. But then I was very wrong: “I've had enough!” I winced because I had never seen my mother like this before. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a moment, and thought. "Mom ...?" I asked. She opened her eyes, exhaled again and began to speak, "I'll call your brother, you'll stay with him for a while." I stared at my mother in horror. By the time I could move again, she had disappeared into the kitchen. "You can't be serious!" I shouted and ran into the kitchen. "Yes. I'll call him tomorrow," she said firmly. “I'm supposed to go to Konoha ?!” “Exactly.” She smiled. “But mom, this is a dump!” I tried to sound as pitiful as possible. But it didn't work. "Now go to bed, I'll do that too." She disappeared upstairs. I watched her go for a moment, then set off on my own. I no longer bothered to change, but just went to bed with my normal clothes. It didn't matter now anyway.

The next morning, I got out of bed and went straight to the kitchen. My mother was on the phone: "Yes, that's good. ... Of course not. ... But of course, it's not forever either. ..." She gave a short laugh, said goodbye and put the receiver back on the hook. “Who were you on the phone with?” I narrowed my eyes. "With your brother. After the summer vacation, you will move in with him. He will register you at school today." My mother smiled hypocritically. "You can't do that! You have no right to do that!" I shouted. “That's so unfair!” “What's the shouting about?” I turned around and saw my father. "Mom wants to send me to Konoha," I answered him. I crossed my arms over my chest and turned back to my mother. "Oh ..." "You knew that ?!" I turned back to my father. “Of course.” He shrugged. Tears welled up in my eyes, but since I didn't want them to see that, I ran into my room and threw myself on the bed. My cell phone beeped. I looked who wrote to me. It was Anna: "Hey, what's going on? You just disappeared yesterday.We don't have that long vacation, you still have to use the rest. ; *** "I typed something into my cell phone and read it out loud again:" There are no more holidays for me, I have to go to my brother. For a very long time. I'm sorry, I will really miss you. : '' (! "
