"Mialee!" Shouted a voice from downstairs.
"Coming Madame Corella!" You shout back.
Madame Corella is a loud, rude, and large woman, who qualifies herself as french because she has an "authentic" accent. She thinks men are more attracted to her because of this. Two words... It doesn't.
"Mialee hurry!" She yelled again
I lost track of time. That could cost me dinner.
"I said I was coming!" You yell back.
You bolt down the stairs and brace yourself for a fake french accent, yelling loudly in your year. You stand there with your eyes closed and nothing happens. You slowly open one eye and what you see startles you.
"Mialee! If I have to come up there-" She yelled not knowing you were already there.
"I'm here! I'm here!"
When you walk into the kitchen, you see Madame Corella sitting in a chair that looked almost swallowed by her massive behind. Sitting across and beside her were two adults that were unfamiliar to you.
"Hel--" You started
"This is Mialee, Mialee say hello to Mrs. and Mr. Jones."
"Hello? I guess it's a pleasure to meet you." Not really knowing what you were supposed to say.
Mr. Jones looked down at you and he smiled a vile, sinister smile.
Mrs. Jones had one look at your black hair, green eyes, and all black, in your opinion awesome outfit, and scrunched her nose as if she smelled something foul.
Mrs. Jones grabbed your arm and started moving it around.
Was I entered in some dog show or something? You thought, not wanting to get in trouble.
Madame Corella quickly said "There are more females upstairs if you would like to adopt today."
"WHAT?! MORE UPSTAIRS?!" You yelled at the top of your lungs "WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR SELLING US LIKE SOME PRIZED SHOW DOG OR SOMETHING!"
As soon as you said that you knew you were in trouble.
Madame Corella get too close to your ear and whispered "No dinner for two days, basement for a week, and the maid just took a week off."
Your face was extremely red as you ran upstairs to your windowless room before Madame Corella could stop you.
"STUPID PARENTS" You yelled "THEY JUST HAD TO DIE AND LEAVE ME HERE IN THIS HELL HOLE ALONE!"
"M-Mialee," Said a small frightened voice from behind you "A-Are you al-alright?"
You slowed your breathing and turned around. A scared looking mousy girl was standing in the doorway. She had light brown hair and blotchy skin. She looked like she was going to run away screaming.
People always looked that way at you. Like they knew something about my past that I didn't know. Well... except for Madame Corella. Your life would be so much easier if she feared you.
"Yeah I'm fine, who are you?" You asked and she immediately ran away screaming bloody murder.
What was that all about, you thought.
"Mialee!" Said the shrill extremely accented voice of Madame Corella.
Wow. Serious deja-vous.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS TIME? YOU GOING TO TRY TO SELL ME AGAIN?" You shouted back.
"COME HERE NOW YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE BASEMENT!"
