Troubled Waters

Chapter 2

As soon as dad opened the door to the house, i bolted inside and up the stairs, putting first dibs on the biggest room upstairs. I was so excited! This was the chnage i was hoping for! The delivery guys helped to bring in the furniture and the carboard boxes from the truck. The guy that i yelled at gave me a look when he first walked in. 

"I don't get why Fiona get's tot have the biggest room upstairs. I mean she's not even going to be here for half the term!," Liam complained. "Yes, well all that's about to change," dad added. "What?!,"Liam yelled and i yelled from upstairs. "Well, we got a phone call from the school and they were happy to offer Liam a place with you, Fiona," mum explained. "Dad! Mum! Wha-what? How could you do this to me?! Seeing Fiona's face was already enough for me!," Liam whined. "Shut up, Liam!," i yelled back. 

"Look i'm sorry, but the school is very elite remember, they're generous to give us an offer like that, you should be grateful. Now Liam you need to come with me tommorow to get your uniform," mum said, "Ughh, great! So much for a 'new start'," Liam whined sarcastically. 

I stormed back to my bedroom in anger. How could this happen to me? I always wanted for the perfect life, and now my brother is going to change all of that!

I found it a little bit awkward and difficult to look my twin brother in the eye anymore, knowing that we're going to the same school made me feel nauseous. Will i ever make friends with people knowing that i've got a pig for a brother?

The rest of the day Liam and i helped mum and dad to re-organise and unload things from boxes and put them away. It was tiresome but at the end of the day everything was done. The house was back to normal. 

We were so tired at the end of the day that we decided to order some take-out. I checked my phone, 10:32pm. Ugh, can this day go any slower? We don't even have any wifi?!

"Mum, when are the technicians coming in to install the modem, again?," i asked impatiently, "they mentioned that they would come at around 3 this afternoon," mum replied. " Are u serious?!," i sighed. "Look, you and your brother are always on your phones. Take a break. Go and explore the town! You both haven't been here in a while, am i right?," mum suggested. 

We both looked at each other and then walked back to our rooms shutting the slamming the door. Next week Liam and i are going to start at Heiderfield, and i don't know what i'm going to do...
