The Switch

"Mom,it's useless.IT'S USELESS!"

Ashley protended to cry dramatically for her iPhone4.S,wich had a crack now.

"I can't use it anymore,Sady broke it."

She waved with perfectly working iPhone in front of moms nose,when she pushed Ashleys hand away.

"Honey,As you can see,I'm driving right now.

And its perfectly fine."

Ashley kept whining and started making up pathetic reasons why anything is not good enough.

"Moooom,you know I might hurt my ear like that,it's like cracky and.."

"Sweetie,its okay,you dont need a new one,okay?How can Elecktra whine so much less.She doesnt whine at all.She is okay with Nokia.

And your phone is not even cracky.

Maybe your mood is a bit cracky'

Mom got a bit cross.

"Maybe her brain is cracky.."

Ashley giggled to herself

That's enough,Ash!

One more bad word and you might as well forget that camp."

Mom said it angry,yet calmly.

Ashley shut up.

That camp was very important for her.

She went there ever summer,it was always outside our country and was the every-year anniversary of popular&rich.

So she chose to frown crossly and looked out of the car window,watching fields and houses getting moisturated by the rain.

It had been raining for two weeks and I liked rain.

So,I was sitting there,listening music from yeah,Nokia and looked out of window as well.

Fields went by.

There was a long way ahead before I could get home.

I lived in a middle of nowhere,yet I loved my home.

It was a modern house,very luxurious,but the thing I liked the most was the sea.

It was only a small bike ride away from our home.

When I was alone there,I always sat down on the sand, got lost in my thoughts and watched the waves for hours and hours.

And always I got up from there,I felt energized.

And after a ride to home felt exhausted when I got the first seat in dramatic everyday theatre"Ashley isnt happy".She had everything a teen could want,yet she wanted more and more.Our parents took her caprizes calmly and found a compromise adjusted for Ashleys needs.

They usually laughed about it and said we will laugh one day too,when we reminsince about our childhood.

I guess I have to hope for the best.

So,my family is composed of many very different creatures.

The youngest would be my 3 year old sister,Sady.

Her real name is Samantha,but everybody calls her Sady.

She is still a child,living in her own bubble.She secretly feeds the spirits of her lost toys(hoping she would find them) with dog food and makes mud pies in the backyard.

She was naturally harmless,but now she was blamed in the crime of century,breaking Ashleys,my next family members iPhone.

She was popular and ruined by that.

She spent all of her time chatting online,tweeting and matching clothes.

She used to be normal,we had some good times when we were younger (afterall,she is my twin sister) but those times are gone.

Then there was me,the daughter named by father.

My father was a scientist so I guess if I would've known that before naming,I would've jumped out of the hospital window and fleed to another country.

He named me Elecktra.

Isn't that fantastic.

Outside,I didnt remind electricity at all.

I had dark black hair,big grey(and creepy) eyes ,white skin and I was abnormally skinny.

I actually weight normally,but I look skinny.

Unhealthy and ugly skinny not like,hot skinny.

Ashley had all to be popular.

I didnt even want to.

I just want to stay quietly(and creepily) in my corner and be the shy and creepy kid.

My parents offered me a lot,since our family was rather wealthy,but I only collect money and dont usually buy a lot.

My father is a scientist,but not a mad one.

He is a good dad,with a sense of humor,but for some reason he always thinks I want the main attention.

That gets usually Ashley mad and a good evening is ruined.

But my mother, Elizabeth Berrybot,is a wonderwoman.

She has her company,a bridal boquet flower boutique.She has 3 children,who need to be taken care for,a husband who sometimes needs to be pulled back from doing something crazy(he once wanted to buy us a house in Antractica) and take care of a big house and still have time for herself and friends.

I still wonder how she does it.

She is also very beautiful.

I guess all her beauty genes went right to Ashley and dads crazy genes to me.

Sometimes mom looks at me for a longer time,reveals a lace of pearl white teeth in a smile and says"You remind me so much of my mother"

Then falls into thoughts for a second and then,as it would've never happened starts quickly cooking cookies or washing the floor,as if it was an emergency.

On family reunions,I have asked aunties,uncles,grandpas and nephews about my granny,Bethany Boulers,but no-one ever knows anything about her or just say "Isn't she dead?"

My mom never says anything more about granny than that I look like her.

We have no photos or anything of her either.

Fantastic

We have a cat too,Mr.Whissy,but he is so lazy I won't even bother talking.

So yeah,normal family.

We finally got home.

Me,Ash,Mom and Sady.

Also some groceries.

Dad was home already.

Our house was hidden in forest,so it almost looked tropic.

Everybody ran inside,not wanting to get wet,only I took my time to watch our garden design and think about my weird (dead?) granny.

When I went inside,I saw Ashley demonstrating her new dress in living room,and decided to get upstairs in my room.

When I walkran (it's not a word,I use it to describe"I need to get there quickly" walk) I accidentaly stepped on Mr.Whissys tail,so he hissed at me.

Oh well,that cat hated me anywayfor some reason.

I opened my room door,went in and closed it,problably for the whole summer.

I dramatically flipped over to my sweet bed,best lover of them all.

It was gonna be a fantastic summer.

To be continued.
