So why me

07h05pm

In her kitchen, Mrs. Clifford, who looks at Adam, still can't believe it's her little boy. Adam's face has always been barely visible behind a long bangs. She also hated her mid-length hair, but to her great regret, he always refused to change that horrible hairstyle. Yet tonight stands in front of her, a charming young man with short hair who wears beautiful clothes. However, there is nothing to be happy about, because when she thinks about the car parked in her garage, anger takes over her astonishment.

Not only did this sexy little beauty who smiles at her and thinks she's at home, give her son a car, but in addition to that, in front of the frightened eyes of all the neighbors, it's from an Aston Martin DB9 whose son came out very embarrassed by scratching his nose. Mrs. Clifford turns her head again towards the plague whose position would excite any male, swearing inside that this kind of girl would be much better at showing her ass in Los Angeles, than here at turning her son away from the right path.

"Mrs. Clifford, Adam and I have something to tell you. Don't look so scared, it's just a small, insignificant thing. Saturday I fly to London for 2 weeks, for a TV series and I take my boyfriend with me. Of course, I'm talking about Adam."

Mrs. Clifford thinks she heard wrong. This little bitch doesn't ask her permission, but she informs her of the facts? Who does she think she is this unpleasant little star? Despite the fact that Jessica is very tall,that she looks a little older than her real age, Mrs. Clifford nevertheless remembers that this crazy young girl is only 15 years old and she calms down before answering her.

"Adam will stay here to go to the High School as he does every day."

Jessica hates it when people oppose her. Previously slumped into her chair, she slowly straightens up, put her hands on the table, folds her eyes and stood up staring at Mrs. Clifford. Mrs. Clifford also stands up, but she clenches her fists, when she realizes that this damn kid makes a head one more than she does. In this position, the one that dominates the other and already decided, yet Ms. Clifford does not admit defeat and looks the teenager in the eye.

"I tell you that in his personal interest, it would be beneficial for Adam to come with me. Would you be jealous of me? Are you afraid I'll steal your son, Mrs. Clifford?"

Adam, who watches helplessly as the two women fight, can't take it anymore. He doesn't like this show at all. He hates to see his mother who has always taken care of him, being in a corner. For the first time in his life, he lets his heart speak for him.

"Jessica, don't be mean to my mother or take all your stuff and go out."

Mrs. Clifford is not that stupid, she knows her son well and knows how much he internalizes all his emotions and avoids expressing his thoughts. It is obvious that when she hears her son take her side, her heart softens. On the other side of the table, a loud burst of laughter surprises Adam and his mother who didn't expect this. Jessica claps towards Adam, then blows several times to calm herself down.

"At last you're reacting. Frankly, I thought Mrs. Clifford and I would need to slap each other before you react, but that's fine. I'm really proud of you. Adam, this is how you have to behave when people say bad things about the people you love, but not just that. This is the reaction you have to take when idiots bother you and you will see that you will feel liberated. Look at my life. She looks beautiful to many people, but I can assure you that sometimes I would like to be a normal girl. On the Internet, I am attacked every day by hordes of Haters I don't know, but who keep insulting me. Some journalists find every possible reason to criticize me in their articles and at the High School, 90% of the girls who claim to be my friends spit on me as soon as my back is turned. However, I do not let it happen. I react, I hit them back even harder immediately, otherwise I would have been buried a long time ago. React and toughen up, that's what you have to learn to do, Adam. I'm sorry for my behavior, Mrs. Clifford, but I could only see this way for that Adam to come out of his shell in which he's been locked for years."

Mrs. Clifford is in shock. First of all, this young lady must not be the plague she thought she was, but much more important, her son's life at school, which she thought be pleasant, must not be so much so if she refers to it about her reaction. What an idiot kid, does he think his mother is made of porcelain and that she will break at the first trouble? Mrs. Clifford shakes her head when she decides she will talk to her son, once they're just the two of them. Nevertheless, it is one thing that Jessica opened her eyes, but all these gifts, it is still something unacceptable.

"Miss Benson, we absolutely cannot accept all these gifts. All this clothing, the car, the jewellery, all this must cost a fortune and it must still be possible to get your money back, right?"

Jessica leaning her head back takes on a meditative look. After a moment of silence, she turns her eyes to Mrs. Clifford. "Adam needs a good car and nice clothes for several reasons. The first, of course because he is my boyfriend and it would be inappropriate for me not to take care of my boyfriend. The second, because now every morning he will pick me up at home to take me to the High School and the third, which is the most important of all. I need an extra assistant on my staff and I decided that Adam would be that person. Be convinced that the salary is very high, the benefits are not negligible and when he follows me, he will benefit from the same private tutor as me. This teaching is worth five times the basic courses we receive at the High School. Of course, I won't treat Adam, who is my boyfriend, like a common assistant. This work is above all an excuse for him to follow me and stay close to me, but if he wants to work, he can. Also be assured that I will not keep him on a leash as he will be relatively free in reality."

Like her son, Mrs. Clifford has difficulty understanding why this young girl, who can have any boy, does all this for her son, because although she loves him, Mrs. Clifford is not the type to lie to herself. Her son is neither the most handsome nor the brightest student, she doubts for a moment the sincerity of Jessica, but when she thinks about it, who would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and offer this kind of thing to someone if it was to stab him in the back afterwards?

"Why?"
