You & Me Against The World

Chapter 2

I woke up to my 8 year old sister jumping and screaming on my bed, I hated sharing a room with her. She was so immature and stupid at times, other times however she was so cute and sweet! I guess that's what little sisters are like. She was landing on my legs as she was jumping. She was shouting 'Amy, Amy! It's your birthday! Come on get up, get up!'

I rose from my bed, opened my eyes slowly, rubbed them and then turned to her direction.

"Yes it is! Just five more minutes please?!" I said as I awoke

"But mummy's got something for you!" Elizabeth said with her cute yet annoying voice

"Yeah, probably just a birthday bash, like it is every year LizzyCakes!" LizzyCakes I call her, that's her nickname, simply because she loves cakes! It sounds stupid but she loved it when I called her that.

"No no no it's not Amy! Promise! I seen it! It's a really cool present!"

"Oh fine, I'm coming!" I replied, not like I had a choice.

I sat up as Lizzy stumbled out of the room. I then stood up, made my bed and then reached for my bathrobe on the radiator. It was so warm since it was on the radiator all night! I smiled as I put it on and then I slipped my feet into my rabbit slippers and then walked out of my room, shut the door and went downstairs.

"Morning birthday girl!" My mum waved at me as soon as my feet touched the wooden floor downstairs. It was really cold every morning! I could feel the coldness through my thick fluffy slippers.

"Morning Mum! And please don't call me 'birthday girl' you make it sound like a massive deal! It's only my birthday and I'm not a little kid anymore!" i said with a bossy attitude

My mum still thinks I'm her 'baby girl' but I'm not, she has to face the fact that I've grown up now.

"Oh okay but hey, I got you a present! Want to see it?" Mum asked with a massive smile on her face.

I don't know what she was smiling about, yes it's my birthday she's bound to be happy but, why this happy? It's starting to creep me out a little bit, she's never been this happy before...

"Erm- yes please!" i responded, pretending to smile.

I don't really like birthdays to be honest, I would of rather liked to stay in my bed really!

I sat down on the leather sofa with Lizzy sat on my lap. My mum got me the present from the other room. It was all wrapped up in a silver wrapping paper and had a red bow sitting on the top. It was a box like shape.

"Happy birthday Amy, I know it's not the best present in the world but I think you will love it!" She said excitedly handing me the present.

"Thankyou mum!" I replied as I started unwrapping the box quickly, eager to see what it was.

Lizzy sat there with a big smile on her face, so was mum, apart from she was standing right in front of me with the camera in my face, she was recording my reaction. It's obviously a major present then since she's recording my reaction!

At last all of the wrapping paper was off, and all that was remaining was a wooden box being sealed by pieces of cello tape at the top where the opening was. I strongly ripped the pieces of cello tape off so hard that some of the box came off with it!

"Oops!" I shouted with a giggle.

Mum and Lizzy giggled too.

Still remembering that the camera was still in my face I felt awkward, I don't like cameras. I was camera shy. I hid my face behind my hair and continued to open the box.

"Ah ha!" I exclaimed as I opened the box up.

Mum walked backwards with the camera.

"What is this? I don't see anything" I said confused to my mum,

"Take off the foil, that's only there for protection" replied mum

"Oh, haha okay!" I said with a blush, I felt so stupid and the fact that I was being filmed didn't help.

Still as red as a tomato, I followed my mums instructions and ripped off the foil. Underneath the foil laid a brand new laptop, if you could call it brand new.

It wasn't that bad, it's good enough for me, I've always wanted a laptop!

"Omg mum! Thank you so much! I love you!" I shouted with a massive smile on my face

"It's okay sweetie, I love you too!"

I run out to her, gave her a massive hug and did the exact same to Lizzy since she was the one who told mum I wanted one! soon after this, the recording stopped. Thank god!
