She just rolled her eyes, turned around, staring into her mothers eyes" its not ur biz whether I eat or starve, I prefer to eat junk than stand here and watch you yelling at me" she scoffed and matched straight to her car.

I'll eat something ", " my dear don't do anything that will make you bow your head in shame, remember that I love you", she said.
" Don't worry, I'd never bow to anyone, I rather die and you know that", she said as she hung up and drove off.
