"Ok ... Ive decided, I'm going to start my diet tomorrow" said blu as she stared at her size twelve figure in the mirror , internally wishing that society and her family hadn't successfully brainwashed her into longing to look as skinny as she can , with no ounce of fat, it didn't help how everyone urged her to look more like her sister , size eight with long legs and a model like physique.
"You've been saying that every Monday blu, its getting very old ...just save up for a liposuction cause it seems like that is the brightest option for you" said amy her older sister.
Blu rolled her eyes and could feel the mild anger rise within her, "I'm so sick of you, mum and dad bringing me down , can't you just push me to do better instead of judging me and waiting for me to fail?!".
"You are being highly ridiculous blu, I'm leaving your room cause I don't need your unnecessary drama right now". The sound of the door as amy banged it shut added to the tense atmosphere that had just built.
Blu sighed and walked to the side of her bed where she dived in face first to her queen sized bed , hugging the soft blanket she pulled herself up on her elbow, and took a glance at her surroundings.
Here she was in a room of her own that looked like it was made for the queen of England, with the walls painted white, the floor tiles made of gold and the flatscreen tv that hung across the wall , she took in the fine custom made furnitures her parents had picked out for her, and stared at the door where beyond it was her bathroom ,bigger than a two bedroom apartment. Guess you can't find happiness in material things , she thought to herself.
"blu dinner is ready, ejja!" Shouted rodianne her mum, rodianne ,had a thick maltese accent , whereas blue and amy got their fathers accent , their father Charles was half British and half maltese whose parents raised him up in oxford. " Gejja Ma! Im coming!". She quickly rushed down the stairs and took a seat near her father whom she loved more than anything.
"Ah my beautiful blu , the reason my sky has been blue everyday of my life since you were born" her father said as his bright blue eyes shined into her greenish brown eyes.
Amy made a chocking noise , and everybody knew it was deliberately done to spoil the moment, as she pulled out her chair and took a seat across her sister blu, and beside their father, under a low sound she had uttered these words that only blu seemed to hear, perhaps their father had heard it too but had decided to remain ignorant of that fact . "the reason my sky is grey..." , Blu raised her head in the speed of light , she stared into her sisters eyes and saw something that made her whole being shiver ... She saw hatred, and in that hatred she saw a glimpse of love, but in that love she saw resistance, and in that resistance she saw pain.
"Amy don't get me angry... !" Blu spat "....I will not take insults from a person who's only talent is sucking dick!"
Baam!! ,
Blu had felt the hot slap as her sister had leaned across the table and spat in her face , saying ... " If My talent is sucking dick , then your only talent must be swallowing bitch" . "Enough!!! Ive had absolutely Enough!! Up to your rooms! Both of you do not deserve to eat! " Their mother and dad screamed as amy and blu reluctantly stood up and had gone up the stairs to their bedroom.
