Prologue
"You are going to Australia." My father stated, avoiding all eye contact. I laughed loudly for several minutes before noticing his solemn expression and stopped, staring at him incredulously. "You're actually serious?!"
"Your mother -" He began.
"Step-mother," I cut in.
"Your mother," He tried again.
"Step-mother," I corrected once again.
"Your mother and I are going on a trip to India and you are going to stay in Australia with my sister Glenda!" He boomed and my jaw dropped.
"You're going half-way around the world with that witch and you won't take me?!" I screeched and he glared at me.
"That 'witch' is my wife and your mother." He replied calmly.
"Step-mother." I corrected. "In case you've forgotten my mother's dead!"
"How dare you!" He screamed and I jumped up from the million dollar vintage chair I was sitting on.
"How dare I?!" I screeched. "You seem to have gotten over it quickly. Did you even love mum?"
"Don't talk about things you know nothing about." He glared, standing up and walking over to the door, turning at the last moment. "You are going to Australia and that is final!"
He left the room and I slouched back into my chair. If this was Karma's way of getting me back for hacking the school website saying its located in Australia then Karma is a bitch.
