A Somebody

Chapter 2

The best part of my day, is usually dinner. Us Vegas, have a very big family, and both my parents are doctors. We have a huge house, and when I say huge, I mean gigantic. You could call our house a mansion. It is a marble mansion with towers, fountains, gardens, and a lake. We could practically be millionaires. Who am I kidding? We are millionaires. Not to brag, but it's huge and beautiful, okay, I am bragging. I can't help it! Oh save me. I walked through the courtyard towards the wooden, stained glass doors. I took the first flight of stairs, looking out the window at the deep, blue sky. When I was younger, Mom and I used to gaze at the stars and find constellations, we used to create our own constellations just for fun. Now, we can't see the stars anymore. My alone time with Mom was gone. As we gained, we lost. I heard a squeal coming through the double doors looming before me. I loved the sound of Rin's laughter. I entered the dining room and found my two, 10 year old, twin sisters, Rebecca and Rachel, sitting on the left side of the table. My 8 year old brother, Rolan, sat next to 3 year old, Rinna, or Rin. On the other side of Rin, was 17 year old, Ray. He was 3 months older than me. I know, it sucks. They sat on the right. In each head of the table, were my parents, Renee and Royce. We were the 'R' family. Adorable right? Once we all were seated, my mom fetched the plates and food. "Rin it is your turn to pray." We all sat excitedly. We loved it when it was her day to pray. "Thank you god, for giving me food. I love to- Umm, mama? I have to go poo poo." She started. "Amen" I joked. "Set a good example for your little sister. I want good behavior from you. Sit up straight Ray." she scolded. "Sorry.." I said with a sheepish grin. Mom looked pleased. "Uh oh..." Rinna whispered. The room was filled with the smell of 'Boom Boom'. "Okay, let's get you cleaned up Rin." Mom said, holding her nose. She led Rin to the bathroom, with an apologetic smile. I fished my perfume out of my jean's pocket. I sprayed it into the air. "At least that is taken care of." I laughed. I felt something wet on my leg. I looked under the table and found Rolan sitting there. "Eeew. Rolan, you aren't a dog! Don't lick people. It's gross!" I said disgustedly. This is what we call a normal dinner. Today we acted more mature than usual. But dinner is usually the highlight of my day. Just pretend this never happened. Ha!
