Beneath Her Facade

Chapter 8

"Mommyyy...Daddyyy...we're home!" I screamed through the silence as we entered the living room. " In here girls!!" I heard mom shout back from the kitchen.

"from the shy butterfly to the annoying flying cockroach " June mumbled frustrated

" Hey I can't help it..you know that..come onnnn!!" She simply ignored me and switched on the TV,then I looked at April seeing her browsing and texting someone on her phone.

" You guys are aware you just came from school. Go change! Y'all stink!! Even a skunk smells nicer than you guys" I said just to annoy them ." Fine..sit here...I'm going to freshen up even though I smell so angelic...then I'd come and disturb you two or just remain in my room and draw. " They still didn't budge so I grabbed both of them and dragged them to the kitchen to greet our parents.

" You guys are so uncivilized. You come from school without greeting your mommy and daddy? Who taught you that??" I spoke to them like I'm lecturing 5year old kids.

" My goodness May you don't shut up..do you??" April retorted in annoyance.

" Nope" I grinned

" Yet you aren't able to defend yourself at school. You know that's just pointless for someone like you" She stated flatly. Now that wiped the grin of my face. That stung a lot..how could she say that. Her eyes widened when she realised what she said" May I—"

I immediately cut her off " No ..it's fine April. I get it. I just wanted to entertain you guys but I see your Barbie friend is already changing you..so from now onwards I'm just gon' be quiet and leave you in peace since like you said I'm pointless. Now if you'll excuse me ..." I trailed off and walked past them to my room but I heard June say " See what you've caused...." but i didn't hear the rest cause I was too angry to even care. I met my mom at the entrance of the kitchen

" Hey mom"

"Hey M-Cee ..why so sullen suddenly ?" My mom asked worriedly.

" Nothing ..I'm in my room incase dinner's ready" I forced a smile to my face

"Sure but how was school today"

"Fine" I say dryly..Mom looked at me weirdly clearly not seeing it normal for me to be this grumpy but she doesn't push it .She just smiled"Good be down in ten"

"Okay" I headed for my room and locked the door before going to freshen up.After I was done I got out my art book for my daily moods. Apparently I have three art books... one's for realistic drawings and painting..the other's for imaginative sketches or random stuff..and the last one's to express my daily moods. I'm rarely in a bad mood so I don't exactly have sullen moods in it.

Since my sisters find me talking a lot annoying and useless, I'm never going to talk again unless necessary . Maybe smiling and being all joyful actually does need a retirement. I started to draw a girl sitting on a swing glaring up at the stars in the sky with her hands under her chin.

I was almost done when someone knocked on my door causing me clench my fists.

"May please open the door. We're sorry ,please.April didn't mean to say that..she's here and she wants to apologize..Open the door." I heard June speak from the other side of the door . I ignored and continued drawing .

" I'm really sorry May. I was just so angry I snapped .I didn't know it would hurt you. I'm sorry please open the door. " I didn't reply

" At least speak to us ...or give a snarky remark like you normally do" She continued to beg but I was not ready to talk to anyone.

" Leave.Me.Alone..I left you in peace" I snapped not caring whether it hurt them or not cause I sure ain't in the mood.
