she look at me baby, I got a call from your teacher that she says your grades are dropping. Can you tell me why?
ChocolatePhoenix
I dunno..I've just been distracted lately...
she sighs and walks closer to me
Distracted? What could be distracting you more than your studies?
ChocolatePhoenix
because they're too easy for me. i finished all the assignments within 10 minutes and they all got A+
I look at you, not believing what I just heard
What do you mean they are too easy? So why don't you try harder?
ChocolatePhoenix
well umm.... I avoid eye contact I kinda stopped going to school for the past month...
I look at you with a shocked expression on my face
You what? For the past month? Why didn't you tell me this before?
I walk closer to you, my disappointment turning into worry
ChocolatePhoenix
I get surprised and confused mom, my grades haven't dropped. What did they say the grades were?
she look at a paper with your grades on it
They say you have C's in all of the subjects, and you have a D in math...
ChocolatePhoenix
i- idk...
she look at me with a stern face Don't give me that, I know you are smart enough to get good grades. So why don't you tell me the reason why your grades are dropping
ChocolatePhoenix
he would sigh I don't know, maybe because you're always on my case about it..
she look at him seriously that is no excuse to have bad grades. I want you to do better and be a good boy, understood?
ChocolatePhoenix
because my focus is elsewhere... he said softly
she gives me a stern look
"Focus on what? Tell me now"
ChocolatePhoenix
I sigh heavily before turning around and walking to the kitchen counter. I don’t know… probably because I’m just not trying anymore…
I follow you to the kitchen, my eyes still fixed on you
my voice is stern but gentle not trying? What do you mean by that? You used to be an excellent student.
ChocolatePhoenix
i... um... I don't know. my fox like ears perk down and my long fluffy tail curls around my legs
I look at you with a stern expression, crossing my arms across my chest
Baby, I need you to be honest with me. If there's something going on that's affecting your grades, please tell me so I can help you.
ChocolatePhoenix
umm... I dunno.. I just stopped paying attention in class, I guess..
she look at me with a stern look that's not an excuse. Your grades were always perfect and now they're dropping, I want you to explain why this happened
ChocolatePhoenix
i don't know... I thought I was doing good..
I sigh and shake my head
Well, it seems like you're not. Your teacher says you've been falling asleep in class and not paying attention. Can you explain why?
