The Abnormal Teenager

Chapter One: My Family

So like I told you we aren't a normal family. You could call us the Abnormal family. Which kinda make sense, because our last name is Abnormal. When I was little, I thought that a witch put a curse on us, but now I know it's just my family.

My parents: Jill is my mom, I just call her mom. She loves to work in the garden because she thinks it's good luck in a robe with a cat on your head.. Poor Mister Mittens. My dads name is Rib, I think my grandparents were a little off too. Who names their son Rib? Anyway, he's really funny. He loves to work in the shop. We live on a farm, so he also does a lot of things on the farm. He likes to collect chickens. Yes he collects the chickens, not the eggs.. Humm... My older brother is Mikelee. He's 17, he hides in his room most of the time. Mikelee likes to play video games and doesn't talk. I haven't heard him talk in 12 years. My other brother is younger than me, his name is Jema. I don't know why my mom wanted him to be named that. Jema is 10, and he likes to paint. He paints what is going on around him. Sometimes its really weird stuff. I have one sister. Her name is BurgAndy. She is 8, and she bothers me so much sometimes. We have to share a room, and I hate it. So I made a duct tape line to separate our areas.

Sometimes I just want to duct tape her mouth shut. I mean that girl just talks and talks. Never to stop. She is fairly normal, other than in the summer she NEVER changes out of her swimming suit. Like never. By the time she finally does summer is over and it smells REALLY bad.

So normally families have pets, like hamsters or dogs, but we don't have that. We have a pet monkey his name is Mr. Chip. My little brother named him that. Yeah, how many families do you know that have a pet monkey? Well you may think having a pet monkey is fun. Well let me say it's NOT.. Mr. Chip likes to steal things. Like things that sparkle or shine. I don't know if someone taught him that before we got him or what, but it gets really annoying.

Other than a monkey we have no other pets. We do have a dead hamster, that my little brother thinks is in hibernation. I try telling him that hamsters don't just lay on their wheel not moving. He doesn't believe me. Jema thinks that he will awake one day. So mom won't throw it out, and it is starting to smell up the house even worse now. Jema use to have a turtle but one day it stopped moving and again Jema thought it was in hibernation, so mom didn't throw it out. It is still in the house. Mom says she doesn't want to hurt his feelings, but it doesn't bother me. Jema still cleans out its tank and feeds. Mom just takes out the food for it to keep his hopes up. Mikelee walked into my room.

"You writing in your diary again loser?" He said I wrote down everything he said. He is always picking on me. "You're a baby, fight me." Just then he hit me over and over again. He would always joke around, but it never lead to hitting. I was laying on the floor when he went out of my room. I slammed the door and locked it. I sat on my bed crying. I had to go and leave. What if Mikelee did it again? It wasn't normal of him to do that, but nothing in my life is normal. No one in my family is normal. I'm the most normal one in our family. I have to leave. Run away.
