‘Mum, Mum! MUUUUUUM!’ I shouted, my voice hoarse from exertion. I had run all the way home from primary school without stopping.

My mother came out of the bathroom and stood, hands on hips and cigarette in mouth, peering down at me. ‘What on earth have you done now?’ she said.

I leaned on the wall to catch my breath, scratching idly at my knee with my other hand. Tiny nettle bumps were radiating angrily all over my legs from where I’d taken a short cut through a field in my race to get home.

‘Guess what!’ I said. ‘You’ll never guess.’

‘What? Just tell me and make it quick!’ she snapped. ‘I’m soaking a duvet in the bath and your dad will be home soon, expecting his tea.’

‘I just had an English test,’ I told her happily.

‘Well, that is good news,’ she said, going back to dragging on her cigarette, unable to hide her disinterest. ‘I’ll call the Education Authority first thing tomorrow and thank them.’

‘But, Mum,’ I continued, feeling so excited and tired from running, I thought my heart would leap out of my chest. ‘I got ninety nine out of a hundred!’

I waited for the joy on her face, the pride. The scooping me up into her arms and running around the block with me on her shoulders, screaming ‘My child is brilliant!’ at the neighbours. My reward was an outward breath of tiny wisps of stinking cigarette smoke as she spoke into my face.

‘Really? Ninety nine, eh?’ She pulled back to suck on her cigarette again and almost smiled. I fancied it was the short rush of nicotine pleasure rather than pride that had pleased her. As she turned on her heels and headed back into the bathroom with a chortle, her final words on the matter bounced off the echoey walls within. ‘So,’ she called back at me. ‘If you could get ninety-nine, why the hell couldn’t you get a hundred?’
