A New Phase Of Life

The Morning Drama

"Hey Mom!" I said as she walked into the kitchen.

"Morning my darling!" Her mother replied, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Sure I did!"

Suddenly there were loud echoes of footsteps booming down the stairs. 'Ugh, the disgusting brat is now coming and ruining my morning.'

Chris held his nose up as he walked in and made a face and me. Him and I always wanted the most attention from our parents and be the favourite.

"Hey mom!  Was it comfortable last night?"  My brother exclaimed.

"Morning!  You're always so sweet and caring about your mother."  My mother said.

'Ugh...  Here it goes again...' I thought to myself.

As my mom walked into the dining room with our breakfast, I quickly said, "Don't they look and smell delicious Chris?  Why mother, you're so talented and caring.  I always love the breakfast you make for us!"

I glanced and Chris and he rolled his eyes and scrunched his tiny tiny nose as if he had scented an unpleasant aroma.

"Awww...  Thanks honey.  Okay eat quick before it gets cold."  Said mother.

As I picked up my fork to start eating, Chris called out to mother and I,  "Thanks mom for the breakfast but I think I lost my appetite so I'll grabbed my bag and head on out."

"Okay sweetie.  Have a good day at school and be good!"  She kissed him on the forehead before he ran upstairs.

After Chris left, mother asked,  "What's up with him?"

"I don't know."

"Well he is acting weirdly and your his older sister please look after him."

"Okay fine...  By the way where's dad?"  (I said to my self, 'He doesn't need anyone to look after him with that snotty attitude of his.')

"Oh he's out for the day unfortunately.  Shouldn't you get going soon?  You'll be late if you don't catch up to your brother."

"Okay, see you after school."

Mother kissed me on the cheek as I ran up stairs for my backpack.
