 Right now, I'm reading. Not in a book but on the internet. I like reading stories. I'm not a nerd and all, I just like to read. Reading some story actually relaxes my mind as well as  sitting on a tree branch and feeling the breeze touch my skin, yes, I also like tree climbing. I sometimes read on a tree branch feeling peaceful but we're not gonna talk about this yet... Back to the topic. I was reading on the internet with my laptop when my mom knocked on my door.

"Meg? Dinners ready." Mom said after knocking

"Coming.." I said still concentrated on the screen of my laptop , reading

"When?" Mom said sternly

"Really, mom? Pfff... I can eat on my own later.. Don't worry, I'll eat." I told mom trying to concentrate on reading. One thing when I read, When I hear annoying noises, I get distracted from reading. Just like now.

"You can't." She said calmly

"Ahw! Why can't I?" I said whining "Can't I at least read in peace in this world?"

"You're father's here." She said and I stopped moving for a second than ran to the door opening it.

"Where?!" I asked excitedly

"Dining table." Mom rolled her eyes, smiling and walked straight to the stairs. I ran past her and went to the dining table sitting directly looking around.

"Dad?" I asked as Jessica bit her lip smiling a bit while Jason was smirking

"What's wrong?" I asked both of them curious as I felt something tighten around my thighs then my tummy. I looked at to what it was. Belts. The ones around my thighs were a bit tight and the one around my tummy was bit loose but enough to hold me down. No way. They'd do this to me. I can stand and bring the chair along with me since I'm not that short, but it's no use. What would I do after I stand up? It's three against one. I looked at my brother, Jason(J) with sad eyes. He raised his hands in surrender giving me the innocent look.

"Traitor" I mumbled loud enough for him to hear

"I told you it would work" mom said behind me with a smirk on her face

"I cannot believe you're doing this to me..." I said looking at her with a disappointed look

"WE love you, honey. It's just that you're getting thin... And so I insist you eat more" She said looking innocently 

"Mom, since when was I not thin?" I ask her matter-of-factly

"Uhh... When you were below 8?" She said, though saying it like a question

"Mom! I'm sixteen for crying out loud! Let me out Or I'm NOT gonna watch my 'language'" I said the word language more louder

"You'd get grounded." She said crossing her arms

"I don't care" I said crossing my arms and raising my left eyebrow. But they wouldn't see my lifted eyebrow with these side bangs of mine

"No cellphones" She said challenging me. I noticed my siblings started eating but looking at us with amusement in their eyes. Not really sure. Just guessing. Maybe annoyance or whatever.

"I can live without it"  said challenging her back

"No televisions"

"Psh.. Believe me mom. I'd chose cellphone over televisions, but I CAN live without them"

"No....." She trailed off

"No what mom?"  I said smirking. She started smirking. This is not good. Despite my nervousness, I tried to keep my cool
