"Pa, can you hurry up!!" Nina pestered her father.

"All right already, will you just shut up and let me drive in peace? It's only bloody 8.30, your classes don't start till 10." her father replied testily.

Ignoring her father she went on, "Well I don't want to be late. I've got too many things to do, if I'm late I'll never get noticed." she sniffed.

Her father rolled his eyes and kept quiet. This side of his daughter was extremely disturbing. He wasn't used to all her quirks ever since she started college.

She now made demands like having to drop her off 5 minutes away from her college, so that no one would see her being driven around by him. Having to wait at the same spot once she finished classes, only for her to some times call and say a boy was giving her a lift home.

He found it mildly amusing but also somewhat irritating. He knew better to say anything, but admittedly it hurt him that his own daughter wouldn't want to be seen in public with her father. 'She's that age,' he reminded himself firmly.

"Jesus! Dad will you please pay some attention to me?" grated her voice snapping him out of his reverie.

"Sorry, wasn't listening." he muttered.

"Yeah, you never pay attention, no wonder mom left you." she said rudely.

He slammed the brakes of the car immediately. Cars began honking and swerving out of the way and quite a few fingers were thrown at their direction.

A piece of ice was lodged in his chest. He was shocked how his daughter could have said something so callous. He pulled over to the side and looked hard at his daughter.

"What did you say?" he asked quietly.

"You heard me, no wonder mom left you! Now get going already!" she snapped.

Furious, he stared coldly at her and said, "Get out of my car."

"What?" she demanded incredulously.

"You heard me. Get out of my car. Don't bother coming home either; I'll have your crap sent over to your mother's place. Now get out!"

He reached across and opened the door. "Out, Now!"

"But..." she stammered.

"Out!" He shoved her out of the car causing her to fall and scrape her knees. He threw out her bag and missed her head by inches.

Nina stood shakily and watched dumbly as her father continued glaring at her. She saw him shaking his head as he sped off. She watched the car leave her behind and whispered, “Daddy?”.
