Chapter 2 : I hate my neighbors

   I sat in my room, blaring music through my headphones while I scrolled through my social media accounts. Occasionally, I would sing a verse or two if I remember the lyrics.

"Darn it Ell! I'm trying to study!" My elder sister, Emily , called from her room. I unplugged my headphones from my ears and headed to her room with my arms crossed and a stupid smile on my face. She was sitting at her huge desk with books everywhere and a notebook in front of her where she was scribbling really hard on it, I'm surprised the pencil didn't break yet.

"Emily, Emily, Emily...when will you ever get it right? And did you not hear me? I said-" I started to clear my throat and then cracked my knuckles for an effect. She widened her eyes at me.

"Okay Stop! Don't you dare!" She nervously said but it was to late.I sang again in her room offkey. She faced palmed palmed her face and slowly slid it down.

"Stop! STOP! Sorry! I won't ask you to stop again! Now can you please go back to your room and continue living your boring life like the wimp you are." She said before she started to furiously scribble down random numbers and letters. I did as I was told and got my headphones and plugged them in again.

"Ell! Em! Dinner time!" My mom called from the bottom of the stairs.

"Coming!" My sister and I yelled said at the time, but no one made a move to go downstairs.

"Alright let me re phrase that, Ell! Em! Come down now and eat your dinner!" she said again this time.

"I said I'm coming!" We both shouted back again in unision. I stopped listening to music a while ago, I was currently reading a story on my laptop.

"What are you doing?" My sister asked while she entered my room.

"Oh nothing, just reading a story." I said while reading the latest chapter.

"Yeah, okay, go down 'cause mom said she made a 'surprise dinner' for us." She said while heading out of my room and towards the stairs. I quickly minimized the open window and shut the lid of my laptop and sprinted to the stairs skipping the last 3 stairs.

You're most probably wondering while I was suddenly so excited to eat dinner. Well, my mom is a very good cook and baker, but everyday we eat plain old rice with plain old chicken or meat. She rarely cooks us anything other than that. And I had a hunch that it was macaroni and cheese.

Once I entered the kitchen, my mouth already watering over the smell of cheese, I looked around the kitchen with hungry eyes, but I didn't see any macaroni or any cheese. Okay, I was sure I smelled cheese when I came down but I couldn't spot it. Then my eyes landed on weird brown cup shaped potato skins. The gears in my brain started moving and suddenly I realized what she had made.

Egg-potato shell salad. My whole face lit up and I eagerly went and snatched a spoon from the drawer and headed to heaven in potato skin. Just a few meters more, a few meters more! A few meters mo-

Splat.

I tripped over something and landed on my face.

"Honey dear, what are you doing?" My mom asked as she took the plate that had the egg-potato shell salad in it.

"Nothin', I was just testing gravity and then I decided to kiss the floor. No biggie." I said as I stood up and turned around with a murderous glare to see what had tripped me. It had to be one of my sister's pranks, or my clumsiness just thought it would be the best moment to show what it can do.

It was the devil, KitCat. No, I don't mean that horrible chocolate you find everywhere including your ice-cream. Though it would be funny if I tripped over a kitkat bar, even though it is likely for it to happen,I mean like c'mon, we're talking about me for crying out loud. Anywho's and whatnot's, I'm talking about my - yes MY - cat.

"Oh! I'm sorry for calling you a devil in my head KitCat!" I told him in a high pitched voice mother's often use while talking to their babies. KitCat, Kit for short, just blinked his huge yellow and green eyes at me and licked the top of his nose.

"Ahh come here you!" I said as I surprised him by picking him up and squeezing him till it looked like his eyes were going to pop. He started to scratch away but I manged to avoid his claws and give him a big kiss on his forehead.

Big mistake. He decided to use the big guns and  took this opportunity to scratch behind my ear since it was the closest thing to his claws.

And I wasn't talking about that tiny-weny paper scratch, I'm talking about a scratch from behind my ear lob to my collar bone. Sure it wasn't that deep, but it sure was long and it stung really bad.

"Ahhhh!!" I screamed and dropped Kit, and he took this opportunity to run away.

"If you are trying to make my ears bleed, you're doing a good job. I'd give you an A for that" 

"Shut it mom," I growled at her "where was I ...Ah yes! The potato salad thingy!" I said while turning around and moved my hand to grab one but all I caught was air, and I really couldn't see what I was doing 'cause I had my eyes closed and a huge smile on my face. I opened one eye only to find the plate empty. I turned around to tell my mom only when I did turn around I saw my mom putting them in a fancy plates which meant...

I will not eat my egg- potato shell salad. The neighbors will. I turned on my save-the-food voice and went up to my mom.

"Mommy deary, can I ask you a simple question?" I asked in motherly voice(which is the save-the-food voice).

"No, you will not be eating the shells, and no there is no way you are going to convince me to let you" She said while putting the plate down and going to get something from the fridge.

"Pwease?" I asked while putting my best puppy pout face on and batted my eyelashes for an effect. And my mom, of course, just stared at me with a poker face that meant 'no'. 

And that's when I decided to bring out the big guns.

"Ohhhhh please!! I'll do anything! I'll wash dishes! I'll clean my room for a month! Please!!!!" At this point I was on my knees begging at my mother.

"Anything?" She asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Anything!!!!" 

"Alright then, send this to our neighbors and I might make again this weekend." She said while shoving the plate in my open hands and then had the nerve to pinch my cheeks and say "They live six houses on the left. Now hurry up so you can come home in time for dinner." She said while going to the stove to mix something. I groaned and went to put on my converse. I slammed the front door to show that I'm angry an shouted out "If they don't open the door I'll eat two or three!".

Or ten, I added the last part silently.
