Luke is a programmer

"You sure you'll be fine on your own?", asked Luke confirming from Michelle, as they were about to part their ways back to their homes.

"Yes", 'hiccup', "I am totally", 'hiccup', " fine", replied the drunk Michelle giving Luke thumbs up while walking back with clumsy steps on his path.

"Okay then, see you tomorrow".

It was already 10 o'clock that means Luke has already exceeded his limit by an hour and he was sure to get a whole good bunch of taunts and reviles, not only because of being late but because of the event that happened earlier.Like, of course, Allie will not sit keeping hand on hand after being called a bitch.

Thankfully, everyone was slept by the time he reached home. So, he just went to his so called 'room' which was more like store room with an old single bed at a corner and no possible source of light.

The alarm rang next morning and Luke woke up. Luke's college timing is 9:00 a.m. so he usually wake up around 7:00 a.m. That's enough time for him to do his chores, like getting ready and preparing breakfast for everyone. But today Luke had to wake up at 6 o'clock only because of a so called 'human alarm' that was none other than his dear step-mom.

On opening his eyes, Luke found Mrs.Astor standing beside his bed, staring at him like she will eat him up the very next moment. Anger was to be seen in her eyes and her big bulgy body was moving like huff & puff with every ingoing and outgoing volume of air through her nostrils.

Beside her was Luke's dear step-sister, who was passing a malicious smile and was waiting impatiently, to see her dear step-brother being scolded.

"Did you call my daughter a bitch?", said Mrs.Astor, with an obvious angry look on her round moon face, which had gone all red with anger.

Getting down the bed Luke said," Yes, because I think, this is what you should call someone who snatches other's boyfriend", and went towards the bathroom.

Luke's reply enraged Mrs.Astor more.She started abusing Luke and threw a huge tantrum for about half an hour but Luke was like not giving a shit to any of her words and just simply did his chores and got ready for the school. He has been living with this family for almost 20 years so Luke didn't find these things a big deal now as if they were a part of his daily life.

After completing all the chores, Luke went for school.But at the home, the matter hasn't cooled down.Luke's behaviour has got him on the nerves of Mrs.Astor and she wasn't going to let this matter go easily.

"Mom, did you just see how he disrespected you? Is this what we got for letting him stay under our roof for all these years?", Allie said to fan the fire.

"Don't worry, sweetheart. I'll make sure he'll pay for what he he did. I'll make him face the hell".

At the other side, Luke has reached the college and was attending his classes peacefully.

It was lunch time now.

"You fine now?"asked Luke.

"Hmm, yeah. I just had a mild headache this morning",Michelle replied while chewing his food and added," Hey Luke, why don't you move out? I mean, you are already 19, so why not?".

"...", Luke kept chewing his food as if he was thinking of an answer.

"I know it will be hard for you as your part time job don't pay you enough that you can rent an apartment but you can borrow money from me and can rent a small room for the time being. That still would be better that living with your parents.I mean, you know them better than me, they wanted to sell you, so I am just worried..."

"I know Michelle", Luke interrupted.

"It's not like I want to live with them either.They wanted to sell me for money and I can't trust any one them,not even my own father. I also just want to go far away from them as soon as possible but you the rules of our college.If I won't be having a gaurdian, college mangement will throw me out of the school".

Realising this fact, Michelle sighed in disappointment and said, "what a troublesome.."

"Once the application I have made will get approved and launched, I'll get enough money to move out and live on my own and by the time, I would have also done my graduation, then I can get admission in a good university".

Yes, Luke has created his own app. He has high programming skills and he had made an application.Also, he loves studying very much, that's why he wants to get admitted into a good university.

Suddenly the bell rang, that means the break time was over, so Luke put his half eaten sandwich back in his lunch box because if the mood of Mrs.Astor would still be the same as it was in the morning, that sandwich was going to be the only dinner of Luke for tonight.
