"Uggg! This is soooo stupid!" Ben shouted from back of his mothers van. The young boy was hunched over, arms crossed, hazel eyes burning from under a messy mop of brown hair. His whole body radiating anger. Ben had always had a temper, but ever since he turned thirteen just a few months ago it had gotten worse. "Why do I have to go anyway! A daycare is for babies and I'm a teenager! I can look after myself!" He argued again.
"You are going because no-one will be here all day and I already paid!" His mother shouted form the front seat.
