There are two things for which animals are to be envied: they know nothing of future evils, or of what people say about them - Voltaire
chapter two
"Sleepy head wake up.....hello woman get up this instant.....yooooooo...... Ammmmmyyyyy.....amandaaaaaa.... Wake up wake up.....mummy she doesn't want to wake up oooo"... my sister yelled while trying to wake me up
"Can you shut up... Am already awake". I told her
"You should have said that two minutes ago instead of making me shout and waste my precious voice" my sister replied sharply
"I have heard you "I replied
"Well mummy just came back and wants you to assist her in the kitchen". My sister informed me. my parents work in a publishing company that they co-owned.
"Why can't you assist her, is anything wrong with your hands" I queried
"I have other duties to do " she replied with a shrug
"Duties like what"
"To be specific dad sent me to get him drinks across the street...." my sister answered. My dad was a sucker for drinks he wouldn't eat anything without drinks so it wasn't a surprise for him to send her to get one
"Amanda if I meet you there you would regret it" my mum yelled from downstairs
"Oh oh better go before she summons the gods down on you" she warned
"Well you caused it" I retorted
I hurriedly got up from my bed and rushed downstairs. I saw my mum in the kitchen washing up vegetables and trying to prepare our evening meal.
"Mummy good evening ma" I greeted
"Good evening my dear, how was school today"? my mum asked
"Well school is the same, stressful and annoying as usual"
My mum laughed "well you would soon be done with it"
I can't wait honestly. My mum and I were close. I was free to talk to her about anything.
"Your dad is in his room go and greet him" my mum said absentmindedly
"OK ma"
I went to my dad's room and he was reading a book with his glasses on. My dad is quite a reader. He always claimed to have started reading adult books at the age of seven.
"Good evening daddy" I greeted.
"Good evening my dear ,how was school today"?
"Fine thank you sir"
"Hope you are studying hard for the upcoming exam"? he asked and immediately my heart skipped a beat.
"yes daddy I am studying hard" I replied
He looked at me for a while and I squirmed under his gaze
