Little did I know

chapter 2

I skipped breakfast, just had my tea and started cleaning house ,

Cleaning is something I hate to do, not because of work , but because my mom's particular and organised person. When she makes us work , she wants everything to be done in perfect way , and that's what I m not good at.

It was 2 in afternoon when I started washing clothes and all those curtains, I finished it in some 2 hours at 4 pm.

Now about my life, I am a nerd

Life as a nerd is not that hard, the rules are pretty simple. You have to do things while remaining unnoticed. You don't need to worry about your dressing style, your makeup, or your hair because, anyway, no one's interested in you.

So who cares, right? I can wear a black hoodie all the time if I want and still not be judged. That's the thing I love most about being a nerd.

Attention, a word most people crave, but when it comes to me, it is the most hated word in my dictionary. I'm used to being invisible.

Yes, I'm 5'4", with black eyes and beige-brown hair and a really slim body, and I hate dieting. I'm a heavy eater. If you give me five burgers and a hell lot of fries, I make sure that nothing is left. Basically, that makes me a foodie. My love for food is divine, eternal, unconditional, and unending. My mom's chocolate chip cookies are the best in the whole world. Whenever she bakes them, I get them first.

I started doing chores at 8 or 9 in the morning. Today is the day we clean the whole house.

I live with my mother, a big brother, and two little sisters. Aaron lives abroad for his studies. He's in his last year of management studies.

Annalisa and Monalisa are the twins of the house. They are in fourth grade. Both are identical and gorgeous; only the shade of their eyes makes it easy for us to recognise them. Anna has blue eyes, and Mona has apple-green eyes.

Dad... he left us years ago. He now lives in Chicago, but once in a while, he comes to meet us. The twins get probably excited, whereas I just don't talk to him much. I'm still upset about their divorce.

At 4, I finished all the chores and went to my room to clean myself up. After a long, long bubble bath, I came out wearing my favourite Strawberry Shortcake towel and later changed into my comfy pajamas and top.
