Ch. 2 You can choose friends but not family

Chapter 2  

You can choose friends, but not family  

Hannah POV  

“Hello, Honey Boo Boo!!”, screams a voice as I get home from school. Oh no. I forgot my sisters were coming today.

“You changed,” says Florence.

“In the negative direction,” mumbles Adele loud enough for me to hear. What a nice way to greet a person you haven't seen in three months.

“Hello,” I force myself to say. God, I hate them so much. They look like Barbie's. They are just too perfect. Perfect tan, perfect teeth, perfect everything. They make me look like trash. And they also make me feel like it.  

“You gained a little or is it the clothes that make you look fat?”, Adele asks me.

“No. Actually I lost five kilos,” I say, proud of myself, but not of the way I did it. “Well, you don't look it,” Florence butts in.

“Let's go and eat, shall we?”, I say while already walking towards the table.

“She seriously has issues with food. Did you see how she almost ran towards dinner table?”, Florence mutters behind me. I am at the verge of crying but keep it in because I don't want to seem weak.

“So. How's university going,  Adele?”, my mom asks excited. After all, she only visit two times a year. Probably she is to busy hooking up with guys she doesn't know or as she calls it working.

“It is great. Now that the finals are coming up I have to study a lot. Which means I won't be coming for a long time,” she says slowly. My Mom's mouth drops open. I want to do a chair dance because I am so happy that I won't have see my perfect sister for the rest of the year.

“I'm not finished yet. I won't come for the rest of this school year, but I would love to stay here over the summer!”, she says. No, no, no, NO! She can't do this to me. I hate her. I look at Mom and see her face light up. Of course she is totally fond of this horrific idea.

“I think that is a great idea. What about you, Han? What do you think?”, she asks me.

“I..uh..it..umm,” I say.

“Maybe, Hannah could give you her master bedroom and she could sleep on the couch,” Florence suggests. Why does she always have to be on Adele's side.

“What would you say to that, honey?”, Mom asked. I think about everything they have said so far. First of all my judgmental bitch of a sister is coming to stay for two frickin' months. Then my Mom wants me to give her my room which I waited for for 14 years. She is the guest, so she should sleep in the guest room. As if all of this wasn't already enough I hear Florence say,

“I also thought about coming her over the summer!” And then all my memories came back. 

Flashback Hannah aged 13

My sisters were the pest. I looked at the clock and saw it was 2 in the morning. I cried myself to sleep because they called me fat and ugly. They were so mean. Food was the answer to everything. So I ran down to the kitchen and opened the fridge. It was full of groceries. I took out a cake. I sat there on the cold floor, crying and eating. I took out the rest of the food and just ate all of it. I didn't enjoy it. I just wolfed it down. Some of it tasted salty because of my tears. They had called me a 'Fat, ugly geek'. They had told me I didn't deserve to be their sister. They said I only lived because it was illegal to kill me. They took underwear pictures of me and threatened me to post them and put them up in school. I never understood why they did this to me. I didn't hurt them or in fact do anything to hurt their feelings. I thought about killing myself a couple of times. But I didn't have the guts to do it. Then I thought about cutting myself but my parents would see the wounds and scars. My only escape was food. I ate and ate and ate. I also got fatter. That meant my sisters could annoy me more. After I finished eating the content of our refrigerator and went to the bathroom. I wanted to be perfect like them so they would stop assaulting me. So I stuck my finger down my throat.

Flashback end 

“Han? Is everything alright?”, my dad says.

“Yeah. Just got caught in a day-dream”, I say. I am so afraid. I don't want to fall into that vicious cycle again. I got out once but I am not sure I can do it again. I don't want to start throwing up again. But I am sure that if my sisters stay here over the summer I will.  

One day later

“Morning Matt,” I say casually, as I walk past him and flash him a smile. Although I haven't lost my big V yet, I know my way with guys. To get Matt's attention, I am wearing this extra short skirt to school. I keep going through the hallway until I see Nessi and Angie. I hate Angie so much. If she wouldn't have moved here, I would be the most popular girl in school. I guess that's why I am so jealous of her. I wanted to impress my sisters by telling them I was so popular that everybody greeted me, boys loved me and girls were jealous of me. I thought that could maybe make them stop bullying me. But then Angie came along. I hate her for ruining my life.  

“Hello, girls!”, I say loudly. They see me and also say hi. Nothing exciting happens. We stick together until lunch. I wait for Matt and when comes I stand right in front of him. I buy an apple and salad. I slowly swing my hips as I walk and then let my apple fall on purpose. I bend down, knowing Matt is behind me staring at my ass, and pick it up.

“Is everything alright?”, I hear a voice from behind me say. Mission accomplished, I think to myself.

I turn around and say, “Umm..yeah. I think so.” While saying this I tuck a strand of my wavy brunette hair behind my ear. Yep. Now I totally have his attention. I am wearing this really low-cut shirt. And as I figured he can't keep his eyes off my boobs.

“I think I bumped into you,” he says.

Although we both know this isn't true I say “Yeah. I know.” “I want to make it up to you! How about we go on a date?”, he asks.

“Um...sure,” I reply.

“I'll pick you up on Friday at eight and all I need is your phone number so you can send me your address,” he says coolly. I give him all my information and walk away knowing that he is still staring at my ass.  

“Where were you?”, Angie asks.

“I...uhh...forgot something,” I say. We eat our lunch and leave. I am still thinking about Matt. It feels like I have done something perfectly right. For the first time in my life I feel like something good is going to happen. It is a double-win situation for me. I am going on a romantic date with the crush I have had for almost 3 years and it is pay-back time for Angie. 'Cause karma's a bitch.
