Shopping

A party for me and guests for me! Can't believe she was being serious this was more of a humiliation contest of who can belittle Faline better....but all of it.....it was all true wasn't it? My chest weighs me down till I can't stand anymore. I lay down on my bed wrapping myself in the blanket. This is what everyone thinks of me just a below average ugly child. Undesirable. I can go wherever I want, and this fact won't change, I am what I am. This week everything has been unbearably hard for me. The world seems to be quite a lonely place. I hug the surrounding blanket tightly burying my face on my pillow.

"Faline, open the door" Aunt Amira calls from the other side of the door.

"Please go away" I say

"Oh come on don't be like that, you've always known the way Mrs Miteena is. She can't be nice to anyone except her grandsons" she says in a loud whisper

"Then she should stay at home. Why go out in the world when you don't like anyone" I say

"Right but how will she be happy in her pathetic little life if she won't have fun by bullying others" Aunt Amira says jokingly

"Yeah right!" I say rolling my eyes

"come on, open the door now" she says

"No!" I almost yell

"I've chocolate cake for you" she almost sings

" I don't want it" I say affirmatively

"It has chocolate chips on top" she teases

"I don't want it!" I repeat

" And strawberries" she continues

"Go away" I yell in an annoyance

"Or you let me in, and I will take you shopping this evening"

"No, thanks" I say burying my face on the pillow

"I'll buy you a pizza on our way home" she says in delight knowing that it will work on me, and she is right I'm beginning to get tempted.

"I know you need new outfits for your new school, and you know I can help you be the most fashionable school girl in China" she says or almost sings.

I almost scoff at the idea, I don't even know how she came up with that sort of thing. I don't want anything to do with fashion. It's not for me. But I do need new clothes, I don't have anything proper. I decided to go with my mom, but I have to admit Aunt Amira is a better choice when it comes to shopping, plus I am still mad at my mom, I don't want to go with her.

" You can come in" I say opening the door

"I knew you would cave" she says smiling

"whatever" I say with a sigh and go back to bed

" Come change into something comfortable, and we would leave "

"Give me the cake first" I command. She offers me the plate and I dig in a spoon in the fluffy moist cake and let the flavours fill my tongue.

"Did they leave?" I ask with my mouth full

"Who?" she asks

"Those white haired old freaks" I say rolling my eyes.

"No I am afraid they're still here but don't worry we will slip through the back door"

She says with a chuckle.

I finish the cake and slip into a pair of comfortable pants and an oversized shirt and quietly quit the house from the kitchen door.
