I was woken up by the bang on the door by my stepsister, Nami. Nami has black hair that flows up to her shoulders. Her skin is pale and she has glasses that look pretty on her. Sometimes, she is a bit vain and she can get hyper for no reason. She has three children who are called Kyoko,Maeko and Kahoko. "Saki, wake up at once you fool!" she said, while knocking on my door to make me more awake.

"Yes, Nami." I sighed,as I got up in bed, took off my sleeping hat and wore my bed slippers. I brushed my dark, shiny hair to keep it tidy and walked out of my room to go downstairs. Our house is so massive, I get lost alot. Nami is 25 years old and she used to like me but because my parents died, she stopped liking me for no reason. But the thing I hate alot is when I go downstairs, Nami just stares at me and I feel that she gives me these dirty looks and I feel that she rolls her eyes at me. I walked downstairs and as I was halfway there and looked around, Nami still kept staring me. Why was she staring at me? Was it another reason?

I went downstairs and saw Kyoko, Maeko and Kahoko with their heads down. Were they upset? They are usually very happy in the morning.

"Kyoko, Maeko, Kahoko, come on, why are you upset?" I muttered, looking quite grumpy.

"We lost our house because the rent went up and we couldn't afford it," Kyoko replied, as she wiped her tears with her sleeves.

"WHAT?! Why did it go up? I thought we had plenty of money to survive, can't we just go to a cheaper home?" I yelled as a tear fell from my eye.

"Nami lost her job," Kyoko, Maeko and Kahoko answered, as they looked down at the table again.

"Why would that idiot lose her job, I bet she did something wrong again. She always does that. Could you guys tell me how she lost her job?" I said, looking frustrated.

"Well, Nami was always being rude to people and she was rejecting who ever was working with her and whoever she had to work with, so that's how she lost her job." Maeko sighed, as she came closer to me.

I groaned, "Oh, sheesh, damn her."

"We need to tell you something in the basement," the girls said, "It's a conversation between us. Just us lot, but not Nami."

I stammered "U-u-um o-o-okay."

Kyoko,Maeko,Kahoko and I sneaked to the basement. It was in my room. We went to my messy room and opened the door to the basement and we ran all the way down to the dark place. There was always a torch lying down there because if we couldn't see or find anything that we need alot and it was in the basement, we would use the torch.

The girls whispered "We actually like you, when Nami is in front of us, we pretend to be mean so Nami would never be jealous, that's our secret."

"Okay," I replied, looking tearful.

I began to cry. Alot of tears came from my eyes. The girls hugged me and they said "Please don't cry, we all love you."

"Awww, you guys are so sweet!" I muttered, still crying.

I stopped crying and we all stood still. We heard footsteps from my room. It was probably Nami.

"Quick, let's hide!" I said, looking really worried.

We saw a hiding place and hid in there. As the person came down, we heard her footsteps coming closer to where we were hiding. It was Nami! She found us!

"Well, well, well," Nami said, putting her hands on her hips. "I never thought you guys were in the basement. Let me think, why would Saki be here, she is supposed to do everything that maids do. But maybe, she has a secret, tell me your secret now, you fool!"
