I looked around and noticed that my brother was sitting at the dining table. He was acting as if cereal wasn't all over the floor. My mouth dropped when he glanced over at me and grinned. I heard our parents coming down the stairs, and my brother immediately stood up. "Emily, look at this mess you just created; you better clean this mess before mum and dad see it. They're going to be sooooo mad if they see this mess" I stood in shock and he gave me an evil grin. I turned around to see that Mum and my dad were standing in the doorway. Mum looked super mad "Tom, what did I say about lying and blaming everything on your sister!!! don't go acting all innocent, we just saw the look you just gave her" Mum shouted furiously. Tom was about to argue back, but mum interrupted him, "I don't want to hear it, Tom, I'm sick of all your lies. All you do is lie and I hate it. Your a liar and a disappointment to this family" they both started arguing with each other "but mum!" Tom yelled 'you're a grounded young man!" mum yelled back "whoa honey you can't ground him maybe you could ground him after the trip?" Dad said "fine tom you are so lucky that your dad is on your side but as soon as we come back home you are grounded for a lifetime. What you did was wrong, very wrong," Mum said. Tom sat down on the chair and sat there quietly.

I turned around and giggled a little and proceeded up the stairs as if nothing had happened. I came into my bedroom, grabbed my suitcase, and walked back down the stairs. When I got downstairs, I saw dad giving Tom a very unhappy look. Tom looked guilty. He walked outside and into the vehicle. I went outside and placed my bag in the back of the car. Tom had locked the car door, so I had to go inside and get the keys. When I got back outside impressed the button to unlock the car and buckled my seat belt. I sat in silence until my parents came into the car. "Who's thrilled to go on our very first vacation?" Dad asked, "I'm so excited!!!!! I can't wait until we get there," I yelled. Mum gave me a warning glance before turning away. "Emily, please be quiet; I'm not currently in the mood for your noise. Can you maybe stay quiet for the rest of the trip?" she asked "sure whatever you want" I replied I rolled my eyes and mumbled, "you are never in the mood for my loudness never in the mood for anyone's loudness grumpy ass women" tom looked at me and started laughing "hahaha oh grumpy ass women that is the best thing I've heard all year" he started crying from laughing too much mum looked at me in the rear mirror with a cross look on her face. I turned my head and looked out the window. Dad started up the car. We drove past an old-looking farmhouse. It looked like no one had lived there in years. We drove some more and the more we drove, the more grass and animals. I could see sheep and there little baby's lambs there were barely any houses around just a bunch of paddocks we soon stopped in a little town called mountain we stopped by a little blue cafe called little hill dad found a spot to park the car. Everybody stepped out of the car and walked through the big glass doors to the cafe. We all walked to the. counter, mum stopped and looked at the menu. "What is truffle macaroon?" she asked me "oh it is a cake with a macaroon on it" I replied "thank you, Emily, can you and tom please go and find a table for us to eat at," mum asked she then turned to me and then looked around to see that there were no tables to sit at "well that's weird there are no tables I guess we can just eat in the car then can you and tom go to the car while your father and I order some food," she asked "uh sure why not" I replied "tom mum wants us to go to the car so hurry up," I said I turned around and ran outside I opened the car door and hopped inside mum came to us with the food we all sat in the car and finished our lunch then we started driving again "yay" I yelled mum gave me a look that made me shut up.

My mother is never in a good mood. She's always mad at someone for no reason. She's the grumpy one in the family. You could even say she's Karen. She has brown hair, brown eyes, and is tall. Dad, on the other hand, is the complete opposite; he's the fun one. Every day after school, he takes us to get ice cream. We're even allowed two scoops! The nice one in the family is him. He could never stay mad at someone for too long, no matter what they did. He's got blonde hair and blue eyes and he's six foot two. Then there's Tom. The mean child in the family and the lying, stupid, spoiled, annoying troublemaker are just some of the things he is. He thinks he is the best, as if he were the king of the world, or something along those lines. He gets an F on every subject at school and has no friends. Let me describe to you what he looks like. He's five foot six, has brown hair, blue eyes, tanned and really dumb. Finally, there's me, the student who consistently gets A's on tests. i have blonde hair, I'm five foot two, green eyes and I'm really smart. If you didn't already know, my mum hates me. She wants me to dress up and be one of those popular attractive girls, but all I want to do is read books and wear baggy clothes. I hate dresses because they make me feel uncomfortable. And I don't really like talking to people. The shy kid at my school is me. I have plenty of friends, but I barely talk to them. I'm just scared of people's judgement. All my friends are the popular kids, the type of ones who act really nice and then talk about you behind your back.

While we were all sitting in silence, I looked to the ground where my feet were I began to think about what our vacation would be like and all the fun things we could do I really wanted there to be a beach so I can dive under the waves and jump over them and build sand castles I also wanted to go exploring in the forest if there was one but what I was most excited about was to read the two wolves it was a new book that just came out and I haven't had the time to read it yet I was super excited but then something snapped me out of my own thoughts mum and dad were arguing as perusal "you were suppose to turn left" dad shouted "it said to turn right" mum argued back there always arguing I grabbed my earphones out of my pocket and shoved them in my ears music played i it them in to drain out there arguing there always arguing close arguing I closed fell asleep a couple of hours later I woke up to my parents screaming "guys guess what we're here!!!!" I took my earphones out and took my seat belt off then I opened the car door all of a sudden bang I fell out the car door and onto the floor "ouch" I cried out "that hurt" my brother looked at me and started laughing I stood up and stared him "that's not funny I could have been badly hurt why do u have to be such a jerk see this is why I hate you" I shouted at him that just made him laugh even more I rolled my eyes and walked to the boot of the car "he's such a jerk I hate him so much I wish he was never born" I thought to myself I opened the boot door and got my suitcase out of the car I looked around to see where mum and dad were they were under a big green palm tree gazing at a map as per usual they were fighting.
