Sqaishey's POV


Meadow, John and Lorraine were growing up quickly. It seemed like yesterday since they had been born. "Hi Mum! I'm going to Daphne's house!" Meadow screamed and immediately ran next door. "Okay honey! Make sure you come back in time for breakfast!" I hollered.


Since Meadow's first day at kindergarten, she had made fast friends with a girl called Daphne. They did practically everything together, and literally had the same wild, immature, kind and bubbly personality. When she found out we were neighbours, they hit it off.


John, on the other hand, was the most mature kid in the house, which was rare for a boy. "Mum, I'll help clean the house." he offered generously as he finished his milk in cereal. "Good boy. Go and change into your school uniform after that!" I reminded him as I ruffled his hair.


Lorraine was an absolute bookworm. Everywhere she went, she carried a book. Her target was doing 30 pages of English, 20 pages for Math, and 10 pages for Science everyday. "Lorraine, come here and eat! It's important to study, but not when you're only five!" I reminded her. "Okay Mum! 1 more question....." she said rather gruffly.


One more question...... one more question.....what she says everyday. She would be late for school! Luckily, the 'Super Dad' arrived. "Lorraine, go and eat breakfast. That's an order!" Stampy coaxed her and gave her his biggest smile. "Okay Dad!" she smiled back at him and obediently got up from her study table to eat cereal.


"The way you handle kids is amazing! How do you do it?" I asked smilingly, putting my hands on my hips. "Be more convincing, Tiger Mum." he laughed and I chased him around the house. "Grow up! By the way, please help me send Lizzie and Abbie to school. Rosie's rather sick, and I've got a very important meeting to see to." Lee laughed at our childish actions as he strolled into the room with his two daughters.


"No problem Lee Bear. You're a real workaholic, aren't you?" I laughed.

"Okay kids, get ready for school! Lizzie and Abbie will be joining us." I declared.


Meadow's POV


Oh no! Miss-Stuck-Up-Lizzie The Lizard was going to be joining us! I was peeping from the outside of the house. I hated Abbie, too. She was a sly and cunning little fox, always playing pranks on everyone at school. They were the most evil and unpopular. One day.......


Flashback........

Third person POV


It was Meadow, Jonathan, and Lorraine's first day at school. Lizzie and Abbie were sitting in the car with us. Meadow was munching on a sandwich. "Give me a piece." Abbie asked. "Unhygienic." Meadow muttered and she continued to eat her ham and cheese sandwich. "Greedy pig. Have a taste of this!" Abbie whispered, splashing her milk all over her.


"Dad! Abbie's splashed her milk all over me! Oh, you're horrid! I'll pay you back for this!" Meadow wailed. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Garrett. You see, I'm-" said Abbie, in her martyr-like voice. "It's alright." Stampy grinned. "Meadow, go and ask for a new set of clothes when you get to school." She muttered something under her breath and agreed reluctantly.


"Hahaha! Meadow, you look like a snowman!"


"No, she looks like Mount Everest!"


"Oh no, Meadow, you look so white, you've turned into a ghost! Quick, run!"


These hurtful comments flashed back in my mind.


I wished fervently it wouldn't happen again.
