"Hello honey, I'm home" my mum said as she came through the door with two loud kids.
"Hi mum" I called back. As she came in to the living room. "You haven't been sat there doing nothing the whole time have you" she explained.
"No, no I haven't been doing nothing I've been breathing, blinking, moving and yawning" I said with a cheeky expression on my face. I was rather cheeky. Mum just sighed at me and rolled her eyes. Then went into the kitchen to get Daisy and Dan something to eat. As they were both complaining they were hungry. So they both trotted after her and disappeared in to the kitchen. Reappearing a few minutes later chewing happily on chicken and cucumber sandwiches.
"Thanks mum" they chorsed with a mouth full of chicken, cucumber and bread. "Your welcome" she said and kissed them both on the cheek. "Now run along upstairs I need to have a little quick word with Sapphire." "Yes mum" they said, and then ran upstairs. "There's my good little angles" mum said as she came over to me and sat down next to me. "So mum what's up" I said happily. "Sapphire listen, your father and I have been talking and we both agree that were both very concerned about you" she said worry rising in her voice with each word she spoke. I just rolled my eyes and got up. "Mum, relax what's to be concerned about I'm fine" I said annoyed."I wish it was that simple but every time Daisy, Dan, dad or me suggest we go swimming you always make such a big fuss and flat out refuse to go" she said getting up as well and putting her hands on her hips." If that's not enough, every time we settle down in the evening together on the sofa for some nice family time, you always run up off to you room, lock the door and refuse to come out until morning."
"SO I'M A TEENAGER!" I shouted lossing my temper." Honey, this is not normal teenage behaviour" she soothed trying to reason with me."SO, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screamed racing up the stairs two at a time to my room and slamming the door behind me as hard as I can. Why can't she just leave me alone I thought as I flung myself on my bed, and screamed into my pillow.
