PROLOGUE:

"But mom."

"No buts, dear. You're grounded."

"But it's just 7:03."

"You should be here at 7PM or else you're grounded. Don't you remember that?"

"Traffic, duh." I rolled my eyes. "And even though there's no traffic, I'll still be late because the bus stop stops at a mile from here and I can't even run properly because-"

"Shut up MicaElla. Once you're grounded, you're grounded." She continued her work and I proceeded to my room to mourn around.

Music is blasting in my room and just a couple of seconds, my mom knocked on the door telling me to shut the speakers down or else I'll be grounded for a week.

That weird old woman, why is she like that?

I got up to pick up my iPhone and earphones and browsed my favorite sad song of the year.

Amnesia - 5sos

"Cause I'm not fine at all" I screamed the lyrics on top of my lungs, not knowing that there's someone knocking my door.

"Hey sis." Little Arthur smiled and gestured me to come closer and lean so he can whisper to me.

"You sing terrible." He whispered and laughed at me as I throw daggers at him. He noticed it and stopped laughing as he sighed really hard like he's a midget adult.

Nah, I love his height. Nine years but his height is for the... toddlers?

Toddlers, well he really looked like one.

I chuckled lightly and he's now throwing daggers at me because he's thinking what I'm thinking right now.

"Here we go again at my spectacular height." He rolled his eyes as he threw my iPhone in some corner.

"Anyways it's dinner now. Bye." He said so fast that I didn't even manage to break his neck.

"Fuck off Arthur." I screamed loudly and quickly covered my mouth. Did I just cuss?

"I heard that." My mom replied and I just rolled my eyes for her. Well, where the hell is my iPhone?

**

"Mom, your food sucks dick." I said nonchalantly as my mom coughed hardly. I just chuckled at her actions.

"Oh just like you aye?" Arthur said and laughed hardly as I threw some rice at him.

"Literally fuck off Arthur." I said as I muttered what my mom will say.

"Don't cuss inside this house." Arthur and I chuckled hard that my mom's face heated and we paused knowing that we should not make her angry.

We finished dinner and as I put my plate in the sink, my mom magically appeared and tapped my back. I gasped as she laughed softly.

"Wash the dishes hun, I'll be doing something now." She said as I rolled my eyes at her.

"Ugh seriously mom?" I said loudly that made her throw daggers at me. I quickly shut myself up, because I don't want an additional week of ground suspensions.

"Fine, fine. Just put $100 at my bank account." I said proudly as my mom muttered "Idiot" or something like that and left me.

"Oh, my big sister's going to clean the dishes. She's now our housekeeper. My big sister's going to clean the dishes. She's now our-" He didn't even manage to finish the sentence as I sprinkled some water at his face. He squealed loudly that made me snicker hard.

**

"I'm so tired." I said for like one thousand times and I'm still not done cleaning this pile of shit. I mean dishes.

"It's not even that much." My mom said that I gave me a mini heart attack.

Seriously mom, you magically appear at inappropriate times.

"Mom just do your job and clean this. Ugh." I said as I scrub these plates.

"Fine fine. Just leave it to me okay?"

"K." I said as I left her.

"For the love of god tummy shut up." My tummy is growling loudly and I'm too lazy to go down and get something to eat.

My phone played Mrs. All American. My bestie's ringtone.

I picked up my iPhone, seeing some dust in it and rubbed it. I answered her call after some seconds.

"Hello!" She screamed loudly and I swear my ears almost fell because of it.

"What the fucking fuck Shaniah don't ever scream in the line again or else I'll lash your throat." I screamed and rubbed my ears. It somehow hurts.

"Whatever. Anyways, I called your mom and she agreed for you to have a sleepover here at my house."

"Seriously?" I giggled.

"Yeah yeah so you better prepare. I'll pick you up at 8 in the morning. Toodles." She said as she hang up.

Tomorrow, please be fast.
