MIRANDA
Sleeping peacefully in my bed, I was cradling a pillow to my chest. The sun was beaming through my filthy blinds causing me to stir. Usually, waking up was a simple task for me, but lately I wish I could never wake up due to this tortured house of misery. I groaned when the first beam of sunlight hit my face.
Picking up my alarm clock on my nightstand, I looked at the time." Another day again "I sighed placing my clock back on the surface of my table and slowly began to sit up. I placed my hand to my head which was throbbing. “Oww my head.” Crawling out of my cold hard bed ,I forced myself to the bathroom,turning on the warm shower I stripped naked then jumped in. I hummed as I let the water drip on my soar fragile body. Showers always made me feel better .
After getting dressed up I went to make breakfast,Mikate(puff puff).I took out the dough I made last night to start frying them.I took out a pot ,pouring in oil and setting on the stove.
While the oil was busy heating up,I went to set up the table placing the glasses in its rightful order and taking out the juice to put it in the middle of the table.
Taking the dough, I started taking pieces by pieces turning them into small balls and placed them in the heated oil for frying. Mikates were my aunts favourite, they were these brown doughnuts Congolese or other African people loved making .Not only were they delicious but also easy to make.
Unfortunately not for my aunt or Lisa .Forget about Lisa she doesn't know how to bake or do anything, but my aunt every single time she bakes there is always uncooked dough or flour shown.
After I was done the making the Mikates,I cleaned up the kitchen and went to wake up Alan .I could already hear the shower running so it means Linda or aunt must have already been awake. I entered my cousin's room being welcomed by a bunch of cars and action figures .
''Kids will always be kids''I said to myself as a started picking up the toys.
''Why do you always talk to yourself ''
I yelped,being startled by the voice,I picked up the giggling boy ,having the intention to swing him around,but by his fast movement ,he pushed me off him, making us both fall down on his bed giggling .
After a few moments of silence past ,Alan spoke "Yaya,Naza na nzala(Big sister I'm hungry )"he whined ''Yaka Kolya(come and eat )I responded to him getting off the bed and resuming what I started doing when I entered the room.

Everyone was sitting at the table having breakfast, while I was cleaning the house.Aunt never liked me going to school leaving the house
in a pig style.Even how late I am at school ,the house had to be clean . Somedays I don't even get to go to school ,she always finds ways to keep me busy.
