The time went by and me and my sister started High School.
I still read my biographies, and nothing had changed since my childhood. My mom still didn't like me and my dad and sister didn't care at all. At least my sister didn't treat me like air, she was actually the only one in my family that talked to me.
But then, she had a LOT of other friends. Compared to me, she was one of the most popular kids in my school. I was so jealous of her, not that she was one of the popular, just that she had so many friends!
I wanted a friend too...
Another reason why I was jealous of her, was that dad teached her to drive. She even got her own car!
After a few weeks of practicing, she got her driver's license and a diploma to hang on the wall.
I could never be more jealous of her. Well... I atleast had my bike...
After she had hang the diploma on the wall, she sat down in the couch with me.
"Hi sis!" she said. "Guess what?"
I smiled weakly. "You got your driver's licece." I said. "Congratulations!"
I couldn't help that I sounded so damn mean and boring, I wanted to be happy for her, but I just couldn't...
"Thanks sis." she said and studied my face.
An awkward silence started and we just sat there, I staring into the air, not pretending that something special had happen and she, staring at me with a disappointed and sad look in her eyes. It was obvious that she wanted me to sound more happy for her.
After a few minutes, who felt like a year, she finally rose and walked away to the kitchen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My mom was getting older too. She had a lot of wrinkles but still, I could hear her play with the mirror all day. She was so childish and that was so annoying.
A few weeks later, walked my dad up to me and started to yell at me.
He said that he've heard rumors about me doing drugs and skipping school (that I've of course not had done!)
But he didn't care what I said, I got punished for nothing and had to clean at home.
I wasn't going to clean! It was not my job and I hadn't even done drugs! What was this and who would ever spread a rumor about that?
I sat down and ate a piece of cake while my sister was doing her homework and mom wrote on her computer. I felt the tears burning in my eyes and I begged to not start crying now. Not in front of my mom and sister.
Later that night I sat up and did my homework. My family slept and I was up all alone. It was so quiet and nice.
Suddenly I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw my mother walked in to the kitchen.
I dried my tears with my hand and hoped that she hadn't seen that I cried. She walked up to me and putted her hand on my shoulder.
"Sweetie.." she said. "I know I've not been the best of all moms to you, even though it's your fault, but I don't think you should have been punished in that way. I don't think that you're doing drugs, are you?"
I shoked my head.
"No, that was what I thought. Now go to sleep."
I couldn't answer her. Why was she so nice to me? But I just nodded and went to bed.
At halloween that year my parents had a halloween party. It was the first party I could ever remeber having in our house. My sister was a mermaid and I a cowgirl.
A LOT of people showed up and I didn't feel comfortable at all.
First when a guy in a hot dog costume walked in, I got someone to talk to. His name was Nolan and we talked for hours.
I had never met a boy before who talked to me voluntarily. It felt great!
But then he had to go back home and I was alone again so I went to bed.
And another few weeks later was it time for prom. I didn't feel like going but my sister wouldn't let me stay home. She was nice to me, after all, my sister.
And to everybodys surprise, I became the prom queen!
I don't even know HOW that happened! I was the prom queen!!!
That couldn't be possible, could it?!
And the best of all, everyone cheered when they said my name in the microphone!
I couldn't be happier!!!
