I decided not to tell Susan or Tara about my day, well not about the note or Kate and Aira. 'Dinner time' I herd Susan call from down stairs.
'Coming' Tara yelled from her bedroom. I unlocked my door and went to Tara's bedroom. 'No need to yell, mum can here you if you just talk normally' I said as I crossed my arms. 'Sorry' she said looking down at the floor, I walked out of her bedroom and locked my door from the outside. It didn't really lock so I just James it closed. I started walking down stairs, as I herd Tara's voice. 'Umm, Alexandra' Tara said walking out of her room. I stopped walking,turned around and monied. 'Yeh' I said.
'Why are you angry, all of a sudden' she said shutting her door and walking down the stairs with me. We both turned to face the stairs and started talking again. 'Well, it is hard to understand' I said really wanting to say well, any older sister's job is to be angry at her sister ALL OF THE TIME!!! But I didn't say that because I didn't want to make things even more awkward. By the time we got to the kitchen Tara and I could smell Susan's homemade Chicken snichle. 'Yum, what is that smell?' Tara said shutting her eyes and sniffing. Then Tara and I went up to the kitchen bench and started serving our dinner onto our plates. I helped myself to half a spoon of peas and carrots, about a handful of chips and then pice of chicken. Susan and Tara followed me and then sat the table. I started eating my food and then we Susan stated to talk. 'So, Alexandra how was your first day at school?' Susan said in between mouth fulls. I tried to ignore her but soon enough I was talking to her. 'Umm, it was ok...' I said just looking down at my plate and moving around my peas and carrots. 'She hated it!' Tara said, then I nudged her with my foot. 'Ow!' She said again with the same expression.
'What did I do?' I said acting like I didn't do it.
'Alexandra say sorry to Tara now' Susan said looking straight at me.
'No!' I said getting up to put my plate into the dishwasher.
'Alex!' Susan said still with the glare on her face, Susan never calls me Alex because I never like getting called Alex. Well I did in till my dad broke up with my mum and he meet a girl called Alex. I hated her so much, because she was cruel to me and Tara when dad wasn't watching. But then when dad was watching she would be all 'nice and loving'. Well that is what Tara called it. Anyway, then Alex took dad away and left us with Alex's sister Susan. Now I hate her and Susan.
That was it, I hit my plate on the sink and stormed up to my room. I jammed open my bedroom door and walked into my room. Then I slammed my door shut, ran onto my bed and started to cry. Then I got my picture of my dad off my bedside table and hugged it. 'Will you ever come back?' I asked the picture. Look, I know it sounds weird but it meant a lot to me.
The next morning I found myself in the exact same position. I had fell asleep holding the picture of my dad. I got up got my clothes on and was ready to walk out the door, when it didn't budge. I tried using two hands but the door didn't move. No I am locked myself in my bedroom. Why? I will be late for my second day of school. 'Alexandra you will have to take the bus today I have to got work now, goodbye' I herd Susan yell from down stairs. I wanted to say wait but I opened my mouth but nothing came out. No!
