Sisterly Hate

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Saturday morning, I sat on my couch watching TV. There was a knock at my door and my friends entered.

"Hey." Maggie beamed.

"Hey." I smiled and hugged them. They smiled at me.

"Did you know the preschool had a fire?" Ronnie asked. Did I ever.

"I heard about it." I replied.

"Apparently, someone set it. The police don't know who. There's no clues."

"Interesting." I tried to sound as if the whole thing bored me.

"Do you have food?" Maggie asked. "I have the same appetite as my brother."

"Sandwiches?" I suggested.

"Roast beef." Maggie agreed. I went to the kitchen and they followed. I pulled out the bread and meat. I grabbed the mayo from the fridge.

"You still dating Leo?" Ronnie asked.

"Yes, I am."

"Did you catch something?" Maggie opened the fridge and grabbed a soda.

"Be nice." I ordered.

'Chels, you know how I feel about him." Ronnie said.

"You know how I feel about him too." I fired back.

"We just want what's best for you."

"Isn't my happiness what's best for me?" I snapped.

"You're just like your sister." Maggie roared.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I demanded.

"­­­You date guys your friends don't like to get back at them." Maggie growled.

"Not everything is about you!" I yelled.

"No, everything is about you!" Maggie shouted.

"Get out!"

"Fine." Maggie stomped out the door. Ronnie gave me a conflicted look before she left.
