When the Clock Strikes Twelve

My Wonderful (NOT) Life

My name is Crystal. Pretty fancy right? No, not really. That's because I live as a servant, helping two teenagers and their mom. Their evil mom. I have to clean around the house, cook meals, and rearrange their clothes. Why can't I live a normal life? I'm just a normal 16 year old girl with messy, blonde hair. My parents died when I was five, and I was sent to an orphanage. This wonderful (not) family adopted me, pretending they were nice. But they weren't.

So everyday, I am their waitress, servant, and organizer. It's horrible. Believe me, their rooms are a mess. You would think these two tomboys were actually boys. There names are Jackie and Sammy. They are short, and have brown hair. They always wear jerseys (personalized with there name on it) and sweatpants. They are also really annoying. They bug me to do stuff and I have to do it. All of it.

And to make it worse, I don't have any friends. None. Period. That would be because I'm always so busy, and my step mom never let's me leave the house when work has to be done. And there is always work to be done.

I have been going to a very boring school on only 3 days a week. Jackie and Sammy get to go all weeks, to a private school! How lucky. I wish I could go more days, so I could be smart and go to college. I would love to get a scholarship, even though I didn't learn all that much. At least I would get away from my "family."

I love to dance, too. Dancing makes me feel free, and I do it all the time. I dance while a sweep, while I mop, while I fold clothes. I sing too, but I'm not that good. I sing when I dance, because I have no music to listen to. Sometimes my step sisters get mad, but whatever. I am their maid.

My life is complicated, so I'm a little stressed. No, I'm really stressed. I wish I could watch every movie that comes out in the theater. I wish I had a awesome sissy. I wish I go to dance lessons. I wish, I wish, I wish. But nothing is going to come true.
