The Older Sister
1
Another day, another stress, another headache followed by a pain killer. I got out of bed and went towards the twins room. They always give me headaches every morning when they're going to school. I knocked on their door and opened it. I entered and found them still in their beds and sighed.
Skylar
Guys. We can't be doing this every single day. I also have school too."
Caterina
Then you'll leave us to sleep right?"
Skylar
Don't even think about it Caterina."
Catherine
But Sky....we are hella tired."
Skylar
"I have college to get too Catherine. Mum's going to be back at midnight and I have exams to write today and I can leave you and lock all food drawers."
Catherine
Fine you win. Have fun at college."
They got out of their beds and I smiled at them. They might not be the best siblings but they're worth it. I looked into my mum's room and she wasn't there as usual. I sighed and went downstairs to prepare breakfast. I set their food on the table when they came walking down the stairs. After breakfast they left for school and I stayed behind to clean up and get ready for college. That's how my mornings always start. I'm the older sister of three daughters and in college. I'm 20 years so legally an adult to look after my siblings whom I have been taking care of. I got to college and headed for my first class then met my friends. Ella, Danny and Star.
Skylar
"Quit the drama Ella. How are you Danny."
Danny
I'm good a little. Someone called me a fat baby"
Skylar
Cause the person's just jealous you easily pull the hot guys like a magnet."
Star
Always the sweet talker aren't you Sky?"
Skylar
Well what can I say Star. Its a habit and it works on every girl"
Ella
So you cheating on me? How dare you
Skylar
Ella baby I'm not. I just say that to make them happy."
Ella
Okay I believe you. Shit we have him today?"
I looked up and saw the most boring lecturer in the department. Why did the day have to start with him urgh? After a whole three hours of his boring lecture which became surprisingly important, we decided to go to Ella's room to relax for our exams. We were laughing and joking minding our own business when I bumped into someone
Arthur
Can you watch where you're going?"
Skylar
I'm sorry. I didn't see you there."
Arthur
Whatever. Just get out of my sight."
Ella
Hey my friend said she was sorry. That doesn't give you the right to give her that attitude."
Skylar
Ella its okay. He's not worth hearing your beautiful voice. Let's just go."
We left the guy and carried on with our business. We got to Ella's room and I played on the bed first.
Danny
So Sky when are you going to join the song and drama crew?"
Skylar
Danny. You know I can't. I don't want to steal the spot light."
Danny
"But you have a lovely voice. Why won't you?"
Skylar
Just don't want to. You know I think I know someone in the dance crew but I'm not sure."
Ella
"Well its up to you. Have fun searching. Now let's get ready for this exam."
A few hours later somewhere in the Auditorium
Arthur
No. Its not working. Shit"
I run my hand down my face and looked at the terrified faces of the people in front of me. Good they should be after messing up a simple dance move. Like how could they mess that up.
Arthur
"I can't continue like this. Its a simple move why couldn't you do it!?"
Carl
Relax Arthur. You're scaring the kids."
Arthur
Carl. It was a simple dance move. You can even do it for God's sake. Why can't they?"
Mary
That's because you're scaring the living daylight out of them."
I turned and saw the president of the song and drama club coming towards us.
Mary
Hi Carl. Arthur can you tell them to go home. Its getting late and you know it."
Arthur
May....fine you all can leave but I want you earlier than today. Now scram"
I watched them quickly packed their bags and run out of the auditorium. I smiled to myself and turned
Mary
Aren't you too hard on the kids
Arthur
They need a little push to become better
Carl
Oh come on I promise to stay quite
Carl
Fine. Calm your horses."
He left and it was left with May and I alone
Mary
Arthur. I know our twenty years anniversary is coming up but I need you guys to have rest days. Don't you think."
Mary
Also you already graduated last year. You're working don't you think its for the best?"
Arthur
Fine. I understand but its my last year here and I want it to be perfect."
Mary
We know that? Carl and Bridget can help you with that and you know it."
Arthur
Okay, okay. I'm heading out now so I'll see you later."
Mary
Yes. Tomorrow. Same time same place
I left the auditorium with my bag and music box. I stood by the road waiting for a cab. I heard someone singing from a distance. I turned towards that direction and saw no one. I was shocked, I thought I heard someone singing. Let me add up that voice was good. I shook my head and walked. I took a cab to my dorm and sat on my bed. My roommate was not around so I was alone in the room. I sighed when I sat on my bed. I was about to shut my eyes when I received a call. I groaned then pressed the answer button.
Carl
My cousin. I told you she's around town. Just met her."
Arthur
What does it have to do with me?"
Carl
"I invited her to join us at the song and drama club. Do you want to meet her?"
Carl
No a singer. Her voice is divine"
Arthur
Whatever just bring her tomorrow
Carl
Good see you at rehearsals tomorrow."
Arthur
Good now let me sleep
He ended the call and I went into a nice slumber.
