Finally I'm here.

I see the pine trees first coming in view.

Im pretty sure this is the most beautiful view ever specially when the sun is about to set, wow!!!

I live in New Oakland, four hour drive from my campus and by the way Im 19 and I'm in my first year of varsity.

It's a pretty long story but in this place I finished school in record time
As I drive through the gate I see the red Kia coming into view.

It's my sister's well my foster sister I kinda have a name for her in my head (little miss perfection), well she never really fails to remind me of my place here and how perfect she is but that's another long story.

I pack my car next to hers and went in with my bags.
It's already 6pm and I met mommy dearest in the kitchen with her plain white pencil skirt. Her hair tucked behind her ears, her apron and the brightest smile ever.

"Sam you here"she enthusiastically came in for a huge hug and I did the same.

I know some of you might think  she is your typical family oriented mother  makes the home homey, loving and all that but she is quite the opposite, yeah she is a mom that is right, she takes care of us that is right too but her way of parenting are a bit unusual if you ask me.

"Mother"I pulled back," how are you mother"
"very well Sam, very well",
'How are your grades still managing huh"

"I'm doing exceptionally well thank you mother.. Lemme go upstairs and freshen up,i will be right back"

"no no dear just wait for five minutes dinner will be ready in no time go join your siblings in the dining and your bags well you can leave them right there I will have Rosie take them up okay? no worries"

"Well okay ma'am"

I gave her a faint smile and took my phone out of my purse and forced my way into the dining.

Emily (sister dearest is busy checking her hair in the dining mirror and Charlie looks really annoyed just sitting there staring into space,, trust me we both get very excited over these gatherings.

"Hello guys"i awkwardly greeted and went to sit at my place always has been.

" Oh it's you" Emily rolled her eyes and went back to whatever she was doing with her hair

"Hi Sam" Charlie actually looks at me properly and actually greets back so that's good right because it never really happen often.

My phone being my all time rescuer came through this time but the only thing was everyone was busy with their own life that means I really had no one to talk to.

In exact five minutes the maids were already bringing in the food basins at the table, that woman never seize to amaze me with her timing.
Everyone took their seats around the dining table and food was being served.

Mrs Williams (mommy) was also seated and she looked more distracted than usual but I just kept quiet. She also looked pale which I didn't notice when I first came in, she has bags under her eyes and it looks like it took a whole lot of make up to cover them but I'm very precise on detail I see through all that.

"Pass me the pepper please"

"huh "

"sigh, pepper please ma'am" Emily threw me an annoyed look.. I don't know, maybe because I was so lost in thought I didn't hear her.

I gave her the pepper and continued with my food.

"Isn't father joining us for dinner mother?"
Charlie asked Mrs Williams who stopped halfway eating and placed her folk down.

"No he is not" she answered

"why is that" Emily piched in.

"Can we just finish eating, what happened to silence during dinner huh?, clearly you haven't learned anything since the time I took you all in"

Woman was fuming.. In cases like this I like to just look down in my plate keep my mouth shut and just observe cos I know how these conversations end if you keep on insisting for straight answers.

We finished eating and everyone was instructed to go in the sitting room and there I saw Charlie and Emily's bags also there, okay im curious now why everyone's stuff isn't in their rooms.. mine included.
