Mum and dad divorced just after my little brother Oscar was born. He is two. My big sister Cerys says its not our fault...but maybe it is? We dont see mum now. She lives in America, i dont know where abouts i dont care either. She never bothers with me Oscar or Cerys. We last heard from her when the divorce papers were filled. "Hurry up in the bathroom Isla!" shouted Cerys banging on the door. She was really disturbing me while i was doing my eye make-up. I opened the door "Its a big mirror Cerys. We can share. You stay on that side and i will stay on this side okay?!" i said trying to stay calm. Cerys came in and did her make up. Im 13 and Cerys is 14 nearly 15. She nudged me with her elbow. "CERYS!"
"What?"
"Pack it in! you made me smudge!" i said. I didnt notice she picked up a shaver to do her eyebrows. I mean, who shaves their eye brows? it will only grow back bigger, thicker and black wont it? I then nudged Cerys as she was doing the side of her eyebrow. In 2 seconds flat BOOM half her eyebrow was off. She must have stared at the mirror for like two minuites without blinking, breathing or even moving. I was about to creep away when she pulled me back by my top and shaved mine too. I screamed and rushed too look at the mirror. "GIRLS! WHATS GOING ON?" said dad, we saw him stood at the door way and she shuddered..."Whats happened to your eyebrow Isla? And you Cerys!" Said dad.
"IT WAS.."Cerys was about to talk when i interupted her
"A GAME WE WERE PLAYING!"
Dad stood still confused. "Well girls i need to speak to you. Come down stairs when your ready." Said dad, then he left and closed the door. Me and Cerys looked at each other. "What do you think thats about?" wondered Cerys. When we were ready we went downstairs and sat down at the kitchen table. "Now, i have something to tell you both, ive met someone." Said dad.
"I meet someone every week at school dad...although nice to know you socialize..." Said Cerys.
"No, i mean i have a girlfriend. Her name is Beth. Not Bethany, just Beth. She has two children, one your age infact Isla! 13, her names Lola. And A boy Jamie, who is 17. We're going out for dinner tonight with them. So if i were you two i would hide my eye brow." Said dad slowly. Oscar gurgled.
"WHAT! You choose tonight to tell me that we're all going out for dinner with your girlfreind! GOOD BLOODY DATE PICKING DAD!" Shouted Cerys.
That evening we were getting ready, Oscar was in his little top and tie and Cerys was putting on her make up. I decided that i was going to try and look my best, i wore my pink flowery dress and dolly shoes. I looked rather nice if i say so myself! Cerys wore her blue skirt, white top and i think you get the picture. The weight on her earrings was terrible...im suprised she didnt fall down! We got in the car nervous. Dad looked at us and winked in the wingmirror. We arrived at the resturaunt shacking were me and Cerys. We opened the golden shiny handles of the restraunt door and saw many different people sat down.
"i wonder where they are..." Said Cerys.
"i dont know.."i said
"Well ask Dad!" she said tutting.
"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!" i shouted, everyone was then looking at me..
"I didnt mean shout you spoon!!" She said annoyed.
Dad showed us and there were the richest looking people... There was Beth, Blonde flowing hair, the shine nearly reflected your eyes. She was so pretty! her eyes were dark brown and her lips were peachy pink. "Wow..." said Cerys. Then there was her son, Jamie, he was tall and obviously a music lover. He had brown curly hair and blue eyes. Then there was Lola, she was stunning. Her hair was red, obviously dyed but it was lovely type of red! Her eyes were bluey green and her smile could knock spots of the sun. Beth stood up.
"Hello girls! Its a pleasure to meet you! im Beth and you must be Isla and Cerys."She said with her smile.
"Hi, im Isla..." I said shocked for words. For once dad had picked well!
"And Im Cerys. Can i say i love your dress!" Said Cerys fasinated.
We sat down and dad and Beth were just smiling at us all. i then felt a kick on my leg under the table, heading from Cerys' direction. I kicked her back. "OUCH! what the bloody hell was that for!?" she moaned. "For kicking me you bloody air head!" i said. "GIRLS, please behave." said dad trying not to break his smile. Oscar was just watching us all with his baby blue eyes.
"So girls, what would you like?"asked beth
"I would like the lobster please mum." said Lola. Her shiny glossed lips were just glowing.
"You can affort bloody lobster?!" me and Cerys both muttered.
Dad then kicked us both under the table.
After a painful dinner we got to go back to Beth's house. Lola took us up to her room and Jamie hid away in his. Oscar was downstairs sleeping in his buggy.
"Please do sit down, make yourself at home. Ignore Jamie, he isnt very social. He is just typical and a bit pathetic." Said Lola.
The house was huge, it had like 2 spare rooms and the livingroom was like a ball room.
"Wow, your rooms fantastic!" i said, i could tell we were going to get along great.
2 weeks later i went into town, i was just looking around quickly. I then saw Jamie on his own with his head down.
"jamie!" i shouted.
He clearly saw me and walked even faster. I followed him and he thought i was gone. He then sat down on a step in the ditched part of town. It was horrible there, even the tree's didnt move with the wind. The bleakness of the people who were passing by. I then slid on the step next to jamie. He looked very shocked
"What are you a stalker or something?!!!!" he said, he sounded rather pissed off.
"No, whats wrong?" i said
"nothing that concerns a stupid little girl like you!" he replied
I frowned. "Look, i followed you too see if you were okay, when i could have just gone home and tried on my new clothes and make up. So you can either tell me or im telling Beth." i said, without even a breath to spare.
"Beth knows." he replied.
"Well, can only get better then."i said
It started to rain heavily.
"When my dad died, mum didnt care for me. I had to do everything myself...
