"Please, pretty please! I'm begging you Ari, let me get those shoes!" I sigh and keep walking along the plain white floor. My younger sister, Natalia, is whining. No wonder mom doesn't take her shopping. She shops till she drops. Literally. "I'll do anything for them, please! They are so sparkly and gorgeous. I need them so badly!" I'd carry on walking but I feel something tugging on my leg. I look down and see Natalia grabbing my legs while crying her eyes out. I shouldn't have to deal with this. In fact, I can't. I bend down and hand her a tissue "Fine, we'll go get the shoes. Get off the floor now, you're embarrassing me." Sometimes I wish mom hadn't spoilt her so much. Because of all the pampering she has received, she can be a nightmare at times and usually I'm the one that has to handle it. She stands up and grabs my hand tightly "Thank you, love you," she says and starts squealing in excitement. Her squealing is …show more content…
You have to be home by tea. If you are late, then you will be punished." I glance at my watch that says 4:47. It's totally unfair. I'm going to suffer and it's all Natalia's fault. Mom would never punish her golden child. Besides, she's 6 so I guess I can't complain. "Can we buy a pink dress to match with it once we've got the shoes?" I groaned. She's making my death wish for me. Little girls obsess with the colour pink far too much for my liking. There's not a single girl under the age of 9 that I've met, that doesn't love pink. "No, we can't. Mom said to be home by 4:30 and we're already late. After we've got the shoes we're going straight home." She doesn't reply then. In fact, she stays unusually quiet. I look down to see no one. No one, just the shoes of random people in the queue. Are you kidding me? I thought I could just make an excuse about getting slightly late but now I'm going to be seriously late. I've even managed to lose my younger sister. Just fabulous. R.I.P
The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time
I didn’t know what happened, but worse, I didn’t know what was happening. The sounds of footsteps neared my body, but I was too hurt to react.
My mom looks over to me and says “well now you know not to wear high heals anymore.”
“Can you help decorate cookies? " she'd say. Or, “Go outside and pick some flowers. " Or, “Fix my nails, please. "
“She is right her- “ she stopped “Mom where is she! I thought I brought her! How could I have forgotten her? I must go back to get her!”
I sat up and looked around and my mom was gone. “Where’s mom? Did she already get up to get food?” I said confused as I stretched out my arms. “Violet sweety… not again.”
When my mum calls me down stairs, I cant say two minutes, or I'll be
She's slightly swinging back and forth, side to side. I gently pull my mom off the counter and quickly steady her before she goes falling to the ground. Turning my face away from her because her breath smells like complete crap, I lead her to her room. I tuck her and go finish my damn
“Well, I have errands I need to get done. I will be back by 7:30. Lock the doors and don’t open it for anyone. Also, do not leave,” my mom said as she was going out the doors
A few minutes later my mom joins us. As I see here walk down she almost has the exact opposite attitude as us. She is taking her time which I understand but, she looks kinda scared. I could only think this is because of riptide's, but even though we're on a vacation I think she would be happier. But who knows I am most likely over exaggerating.
“One more thing Cinderella. You can only go to the dance if you finish you work. And I will send contract saying that it doesn’t matter if you went to the dance or not you still will drop out of school.” Her step-mother had sinister pleasant voice in her throat.
The words spill out of her mouth like an erupting volcano, so sudden and unexpected. I slightly fell back in the seat. I am speechless. She started the car and began to drive.
I get home at about noon one day and my mom bombards me with questions. She says “Where have you been? Why didn't you let anyone know? Why didn't you clean your room like I told you to?” and blah blah blah.
She was too busy watching some kid of youtube video about slime. My mom had to answer a phone call so she went to the other side of the room where the kitchen was. I started a conversation
“Michelle, come downstairs for a moment,” I heard my mom call up to me. Her voice was shaky, from fear or sadness, I didn’t know.
