I

Chapter Three

After closing, Sarah went to pick up her brother in school. As she was going, she saw Craig wink at her, she immediately took her attention off him. "Why is he looking at me like that. I really feel disgusted at the sight of his face alone" thought Sarah.

AT HOME

"Mommy good afternoon ma" said Paul as he took off his school bag and lunchbox. "Good afternoon mom" said Sarah going straight into her room.

"Good afternoon. How's school" asked Mrs Smith staring at Sarah as she went in. "Mommy, see. My teacher gave me only one homework. She said I should colour this elephant and also trace it" said Paul bringing out his book. "Ok. Do it yourself. It's yours not mine. I will only crosscheck it" said Mrs Smith.

Few hours later, Mr Smith entered into the house. He had come back from work. "Daddy" screamed Paul as he ran to hug his father. "My boy. How are you" asked Mr Smith. "Fine" replied Paul. "Dear, how are you" asked Mr Smith. "Fine" replied Mrs Smith also. "Where is Sarah" asked Mr Smith looking around. "Immediately, she came back from school, she went straight into her room and hasn't come out till now" answered Mrs Smith. "Hope all is well" asked Mr Smith. "What could go wrong" asked Mrs Smith as a rhetorical question. "Paul, tell her that I'm around" ordered Mr Smith. "Big sis, dad is around" said Paul at the door without coming in. "Ok. I'm coming now" said Sarah. Paul immediately ran back downstairs and said she was coming.

Sarah came downstairs a while after and met them having dinner. "Mum. I want to skip dinner tonight" said Sarah. "Have you greeted your dad? Must I always tell you to greet" asked Mrs Smith. "Good evening, dad. Can I? Don't worry. I'll do the dishes" asked Sarah. "No, you can't. Now eat up. Or you won't get to go to your friend's house tomorrow" said Mrs Smith. "Ok. I won't skip dinner" said Sarah.

After eating and doing the dishes, Sarah went into her room and slept off.
