Life as Makenzie (spinoff of Justin Bieber's best friend series)

Chapter 9: Thanksgiving

Mom came on Tuesday. All she's been doing is saying how I should improve my wardrobe because our family shouldn't be looking like bums.

She's been annoying the hell outta me.

I walk downstairs, with my phone in my hands. I get a text and I look at it. It's Jake.

I smile at the text as I read it.

Jake: how does this look?

Then, I see a picture with him in a black and white tux. He looks pretty sexy if you ask me.

"What are you smiling at?," Dad teases.

I look up.

"It's nothing Dad." I giggle after what I just said.

"Um. Okay?," he says, confused.

I take a deep breath and decide to tell him. He'll take it lighter than Mom will. Mom will probably ask me, "Why? You never go to dances."

"I'm going to the Winter Ball."

His face lights up.

"Are you going with anyone?"

I bite down on my lip and blush.

"With Jake."

I see Alex come from the kitchen with Grandma.

"You're going to the Winter Ball with Jake?!," he shouts.

"Sweetie, you're going to the Winter Ball?!," Grandma asks, a smile on her face.

I hear footsteps behind me and I turn.

"Kenzie, you're going to the Winter Ball with Jake?!"

I smile harder at everyone's questions.

"Winter Ball?"

I turn and see Mom.

"Yeah. He asked me on Tuesday. Remember Jake? My best friend?"

"Nope. But, you nev-"

"We're all happy for you Kenzie," Dad says, cutting Mom off.

I nod and decide to text back Jake.

Me: U look perfect

I'm going to pick out my dress tomorrow with Rosie. I can't wait.

I peek in the kitchen and realize it's time for dinner. The awkward dinner begins.

* At dinner *

"So, what's junior year been like?," Grandma asks.

I smile at her.

"Um, I guess it's been okay."

"Yeah. Until she got into a fight and was suspended for three school days. I'm surprised they still let you go to Winter Ball," Mom says.

I get really pissed. She always wants to hurt me.

"Well, I'm surprised you still visit on holidays. It seems like you've forgotten about us, so what's the point of coming?"

Silence takes over the whole dining room as Mom stares at me, anger in her eyes.

"Makenzie, what's has gotten into you lately?! You've been nothing but disrespectful and out of control."

"Well, lately you've been nothing but judgmental and a pain in my ass."

I see her get angrier, but I don't fuckin' care.

"Makenzie Rose Bieber! You are grounded again! Two weeks!"

I scoff. "Oh, what a surprise! I'm grounded again! I'm always grounded when you visit."

"Because you need to be taught a lesson Makenzie."

"Well, you need to be taught to be a good mother."

Her jaw drops. I hear Dad clear his throat in this awkward dinner.

"Now, you've crossed the line! Now, you're grounded for three weeks and you will not go to that Winter Ball!"

I feel like my heart just feel outta my heart. Is she trying to ruin my life?!

"Mom, that's not fair! I already told Jake I would go with him!"

"Well, then tell him you're not going!"

"But,-"

"No buts! You're not going to the Winter Ball and that's final!"

I stand up.

"You're the worst Mom in the whole fuckin' world!," I shout.

I storm out the dining room, and leave the house. I can't fuckin' stand her!
