The life and lies of Poppy Anderson

Poppy Anderson is from Los Angeles, America. She lives in a condo with her farther James Anderson, stepmother Angelina Anderson-whom she despises- and her little sister Texas Anderson who is 11.

Poppy Anderson is 16 years old. She has big blue eyes, the kind of blue that if you look up to the sky when it's cloudless the sky that's above you that is it will be a deep daring blue, she has long hair back that ends half way down her back although her hair is naturally black she dyed it blonde and she 5ft4".   

Poppy has many friends as well she is considered to be very popular at her school, she is, however, a diva at home. She makes it hard for her stepmother to be living there and her stepmother always nags Poppy's Dad to do something about it.

Chapter one

"How was school Tex'?" Poppy asked her little sister slowly.

"It was alright I guess Pop' just some people being a bit taunting" Texas replied.

"Tex',"She said slowly looking around the room "Angelina moves in today doesn't she?"

"Um, yes she does? Why? What are you doing to do pops you know this will be the last straw if you do anything to her"Texas said her voice shaking. "I'm not going to do anything to her she doesn't like me anyway so if I did it wouldn't matter would it?! And anyway it's a shame that it's today as I've organised a humgoolisitous house party" Poppy said coyly to Texas.

Texas' eyes widened but she didn't say anything. Poppy grinned mischievously at the look on Texas' small face. 'My party will drive her way this time. She's trying to replace mum but i'll make sure that doesn't happen' Poppy thought to herself whilst preparing food and drink for her friends who'd be coming to the party.

An hour later Poppy's friends began to arrive. They spilled out into kitchens and the garden and the pool area. However, the only people that Poppy was trying to find was her friend Cassandra and her other friend, who had been her boyfriend at one point, Damien. However, Poppy had never really gotten over Damien and she still believed that he loved her, even though he didn't.

Poppy was proud. Her party was going considerably well. Most of the rooms looked as though they were in an ungroomed state. She knew for a fact that this would annoy Angelina, she also knew that Angelina's belongings were getting delivered today so this would be a perfect opportunity to ruin everything. She grinned to herself.

And hour late a medium sized van labelled 'Hilliary's Clothes Rental Van' pulled up outside. Poppy ran out and spoke to the driver"Are they for Angelina?"

The woman shrugged her shoulders and gave Poppy a piece of paper to sign. "ALRIGHT GUYS HELP YOURSELVES!!!!!!" Poppy screeched to the humongous crowd of people surrounding the van who were part of her party. When they did so and everything was out of the van Poppy ran down the side of the pool as it's on the edge of a cliff and cannonballed into the sea...

"POPPY ANDERSON WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING COME UP HERE NOWWWW!!!!" James Anderson screamed.

"It's only a bit of fun dad, relax" She said grinning at her mates .

"POPPY THIS IS THE LAST STRAW, I WILL NOT RELAX. ANGELINA'S BELONGINGS ARE NEAR ENOUGH DESTROYED THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR HOOLIGAN FRIENDS WHO CAN ALL GO HOME NOW, IVE HAD ENOUGH I DONT SEE WHY YOU HAVE IT IN FOR ANGELINA SHE'S DONE NOTHING WRONG-"

"SHE NEVER DOES, DOES SHE!!!'Poppy screamed sarcastically to her dad.

"THATS IT PACK YOUR STUFF YOUR GOING TO ENGLAND, AND YOUR STAYING WITH YOUR GRANDMOTHER END OF" Her dad bellowed.

"Don't you remember mum?? Do you even know who she was?? Am I the only one that does remember her?? Why are you trying to replace her so badly!!!" Poppy stuttered, her eyes tearing up.

The plane flight was amazing the views were extraordinary but this was probably the longest time Poppy went without her phone as the f!ight was 13 hours and all she done was moan about how wet and how cold England was.

"What part of England are we actually going to?"Poppy asked when the plane was getting lower down as all she could mainly see was fields and a really big houses with some animals dotted about.

"Were going to the countryside Poppy, I thought you could use the fresh air and get a grip on reality."

"You've got to be joking right?!" Poppy muttered slightly under her breathe.

"No, I'm not Pops your the one whose caused this to happen! I'm afraid you will be going to school here as well..."Her dad said bracing himself.

"Oh. My. Freakin'. God. Why are you such a terrible farther for... I didn't do anything that bad this time"Poppy said offended by her dads cruel actions.

                                                                 *

When Poppy stepped off the plane the first thing she said was"what is that revolting stench? It's making me feel physically sick!!!"

Her dad snickered"That will be cow pat!"

He noticed the colour drain from Poppy's face and chuckled to himself.

"It's not funny you know!!! All my stuff will become ruined I can promise you that now!!!"Poppy said to her dad spitefully.

"Look your Nana Jayne and Grandpa Joe will buy you some appropriate clothes if you behave yourself and listen to them"Her dad muttered.

When they arrived at Nana Jayne and Grandpa Joe's house a look of horror came upon Poppy's face, but to annoy her farther she turned round to him and said" This looks absolutely dandy I'm looking forward to this adventure."

James Anderson was left gobsmacked.

Poppy walked up to the door and knocked politely. The door croaked open and Nana Jayne was stood there. "Hello darlin" she cooed at Poppy.

You'd in 'Alf getting big from when I last saw you, you were such a small little munchkin.
