“Get up, Christine! I made Pancakes!” Mom yelled
Usually whatever came in between me and pancakes would be destroyed, but not this morning. Because SHE made it. I know I shouldn’t have blamed her. but I had this sick feeling that Josh was using me to get closer to mom without arousing suspicion. I took my time getting dressed. I knew I could have taken two minutes but I prolonged the time to 10 minutes. I put on my favourite black playsuit with three red buttons. I put on red tights and black peep toe ankle boots and a small leather jacket. My hair was looking redder since I dyed it Ariana Grande’s hair colour last night. So I wet my hair and towel dried to give it that really messy look. I put on a black hair clip and straightened my bangs, I have to admit, I look hot.
I grabbed my bag and keys and walked downstairs.
“Wow, you are looking tasty Seniorita” Eric chuckled eyeing my outfit
“Hey that’s my sister bro.” Kyle nudged “back off”, I have to admit, I love my brother.
Eric winked at me and continued to eat.
I walked over to my mom and looked at her. For the first time since my stepfather died I saw her differently. I didn’t want to admit it. But she looked like a dirty prostitute in my eyes. I knew it wasn’t ALL her fault, just partly. When I heard that cry of pain she let out after he hit her. A tear slowly balanced on my lower lash.
“I'm not hungry,” I said to my mum who was holding a plate of pancakes out at me.
“What?! Nonsense, you love pancakes” she laughed “here eat up”
“I SAID IM NOT HUNGRY” I boomed, my whole mood changed,I was suddenly oblivious to the twins, bickering and kyle and eric laughing, only me and her were in the room.
I leaned in to her ear.
“I think you might want to change your sheets, and take a shower” I whispered. She let out a small gasp and whimper as she dropped the plate in her hand.
“Christi I-“ she started
“Save it you dirty wh-“ I stopped myself and the teardrop now made its way to the ground.
“I'll talk to you after school, don’t let any of those disgusting filthy men in here again. Do you understand?” I nearly shouted. My mother looked at me tears dropping down her cheek and nodded. I have to say, I don't regret saying that, she was worth it.
Kyle and Eric were the only one who noticed our conversation. Even though a plate smashed , the twins kept on fighting.
“Christi, can I talk to you in the hall for a minute?” kyle asked
“Coming” replied obediently
“What the hell did you say to her?” Kyle shouted frantically once we were in the hall.
“What she needed to hear, you know what she’s been up to, don’t you?” I asked him.
“Yeah, that green eyed guy comes by a lot, is he her-“
“Yeah, anyways. I'll talk to her after school, you stay here and make sure she doesn’t do anything stupid.”
“Alright, be careful sis.”
“Ok…ERIC DO YOU WANT A RID TO SCHOOL?” I shouted
“Obviously “ He replied instantaneously
“Bye Kyle. BYE JUSTIN AND JEREMY”
“Bye Christi” they both replied in unison and started having an argument about who copied who
