My name is Estella.I am 9 years old.For now that is all you know about me.

My mother called me and my brother Jack down for tea.She told us that today's tea was going to be sausages and Jack pushed passed me.I don't feel pain as much as anyone else in my family. I purposely tripped myself over and fell down the stairs.I was a great actress so I made myself cry.
"Estella what happened!?"
Mother asked doubtfully as usual.
She never believes me and I find that I am not the best person but I am not a LIAR.Anyway...

I wept and had a bruise on my back now.My mother was in shock.She asked what had happened.This is what I said...

"When you said sausages,Jack pushed me and ran down the stairs and I tripped and fell down the stairs!"
Mother called Jack into the room and looked angrily at his shocked face.
"YOUNG MAN!!,YOU ARE SETTING A BAD EXAMPLE FOR YOUR YOUNG SISTER!!!.NO SAUSAGES FOR YOU UNTIL YOU APOLOGISE FOR THIS INJURY!!!"Mother shouted fiercely and boldly.
"Mother,I promise that I didn't push Estella down the stairs.She is lying to get me into trouble as usual!"
"Mother I was pushed by jack down the stairs!!"
We conflicted and then this happened...

"ESTELLA,YOU...COMPULSIVE LIAR!!"
Mother shouted in rage.
"GO TO YOUR ROOM AND DON'T LEAVE!!"

So that was all the time...

Until my 10th birthday...
