OH, TO BE FREE AS A BIRD. By LORRIE MAE

From Sweetness to Nastiness. PART 111.

And so the children were learning that they all had duties to do.
From the beginning they had to make their beds, and clean their rooms.
Then they dressed up for whatever the day was, if it was a school day, then it was uniform day, if it was a weekend then they could wear whatever they wanted.

They also learnt that there were certain people at the school who were not your friends, and it seemed that they could make things worse for you, if they didn't like you.
And it wasn't long before Angel the girl who lived near the children, turned out to be not such a wonderful girl, she had her heart set on Barrie, thus she didn't want his sister hanging around with them.
When they all played games together things started to get quite nasty, as Angel wanted Barrie to play with just her, but of course he was enjoying playing with his sister, Angel decided to take matters into her own hands.

The lunch time bell rang for the children to have their lunch and time to play as well.
Angelina always looked for her brother to play with, but today it seemed like he  was spending time with a group of other girls, including Angel, who just looked all snug as she cuddled into her brother.
For the first time in her life she felt jealous, and she didn't like it.
Angelina decided to watch and wait, to see what would happen over the next few weeks,  in the meantime,  she would gather a few friends herself.
She never mentioned anything to her brother,  he just didn't want to talk, so she just grabbed a book from the collection in the lounge and got involved with reading it.

This was the way it went on for a while,  tension was around them all and it was becoming clearer that brother and sister had grown apart and realized that they had grown out of their childhood.
One day during the school holidays,  Barry and Angelina were having breakfast together and they decided to talk to talk about the situation as it was chewing away with each other.
Angelina said "Barry I'm sorry for the way I've been,  it's just that we were very close to each other,  and then all of a sudden we couldn't even talk to you,  I was so jealous of you and Angel, and your relationship with her" she said.
"I'm sorry that you had to feel like that with me, " Barry said,  "I really like Angel,  we are so good together,  I want to spend as much time as I can with her, can you understand what I am trying to tell you, "
"Yes that's fine just don't block me out, you mean alot to me ok, I hope it all works out for you, just remember I am always here for you.
