Whirlwind

Usual drama

Rest of the day at school went by without any incident.

I was feeling very happy cause my test went really great.

I was hoping to get an +A in it.

The school wasn't far form the house and it usually took only around ten minutes to get there on bicycle.

The weather was nice and cloudy today.

I always felt happy when it was about to rain or if the weather was cloudy.

I thought the rest of the day will go by peacefully too.

I rode home on my bicycle feeling great.

I reached the street the house was on and i could see the house and the window from afar.

It was open and my light curtain was flying from the light breeze.

Wait.

Hadn't i closed it when leaving for school.

I was thinking when i saw white sheets of paper flying out the window.

NO! Not Again.

I raced towards the house and dropped my bicycle on the grass in front yard.

I entered the house and raced upstairs to my room.

My door was open and my entered my room to find all my sketch books open on floor and someone ripping my sketches and throwing them out the window one by one.

"Lisa!"

She suddenly stopped and looked back at me.

She laughed and threw my sketch book out the window.

"No."

I ran forward to stop her but in vain.

She threw it out and ran for the door.

"Stop."

I grabbed her by her arm to stop her.

"What's wrong with you. Why would you do that. WHY!!"

"Mom! Sarah is hitting me."

All I do was just stared at her till Mrs.Woods came into my room.

"What did you do to my baby?"

I fake laughed.

"I didn't do anything to her. She did this to my stuff. Just look at my room. Just look at what she did to my room."

She looked around my room and then looked at me.

"So what? She is just a child. And what does a few pages mean anyway. You just have to make thing big when they obviously aren't."

A child. She is fourteen years old. Only three years younger than me.

"Really. You're gonna say that after all the things she has done. This is not the first time she has done this to my stuff."

I pointed towards my room. All of my things were on the floor. There was some color on the the carpet. It will take hours to clean my room.

And here i was thinking today would be a good day.

"Mrs.Woods if this happens again no matter what happens to me I will make sure that you don't get another foster kid in this house or money because of them."

WHAT did i just say to Mrs.Woods? Where did that come from. I've never been able to say something like this before no matter how much damage they had done to me. And what happened today is nothing in front of things Lisa has done to me before.

For some reason she looked Scared! SHE looked scared of what i said to her.

"Oh! What have we done to deserve this? You ungrateful girl! After all the things we've done for you. We gave food and clothes. This is how you repay us!", she all but wailed.

"Come! Lisa. Before she does anything to you."

She went out of my room with Lisa.

Huh! Is that all it took to scare her and get her out of my room.

Why did i never did this before? If this was all it was gonna take to get rid of them i should've done this before.

I hurriedly closed and locked my door before she changed her mind and came back to hit me or something like before.

I've been living with this family for the last eight years.

I've never complained about them because i didn't want to change one house after another in hopes of meeting some nice family. I've always known that would never happen. After all this was the usual drama I had to go through all these years.

I started cleaning my room because i also had to tutor, do homework and other house chores. I wasn't going to push more of my luck today.
