Ida's POV
"Good afternoon Grace"I greeted the head of our house maids.
"How was school today "
"Fine".I wanted to tell her what happened today.She's more like a mother than a house keeper to me.
Grace is a slim but short woman around her fifty's.She has been staying with us since I was five.You could see her beauty even though her face was getting wrinkled.
I went to my bedroom and laid on my enormous white and grey bed breathing hardly from climbing up the stairs.I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in "
Rea my personal maid servant walked in.
"Dinner's ready ma'am"
"Call me Ida.I prefer that to ma'am.Could you bring my dinner up here please"
She nodded.She was back in a minute.I got a warm shower and dressed up.
I ate my dinner.Rea returned back to my room to collect the dishes.
"Did you ever get bullied in school"I asked her as she almost left.She turned.
"Well , no.I grew up in the west.School was like every normal day to me.Once I came home I would milk the cows and ride horses and collect hay and..... ah forget it those are just past memories now."
"Any reason behind this question? "
"Naa." When are mom and dad returning from their trip"
"I don't know but I'll let you hear if there's any news"
"Well I'm downstairs if you need me".She left.
Xoey's POV
The sweet scent of my mother's Apple pie greeted me.My mouth began to water.
"Good afternoon mom"I asked whiles giving her a big hug around her shoulders.
"How was school?"
"Fine"
"Xoey!!"Dianna, my little sister exclaimed as she gave me a big hug.Dianna was thirteen.She was pretty and slim and had blonde hair.
"I had a wonderful day at school and you?"She asked with a wide smile on her face.
"Same"
I entered the room I shared with Dianna. Our room is purple with two beds on opposite each other separated by a brown beside table.
A purple carpet widely spread through all corners of the room.
Two brown wardrobes stood at the foot of each bed just a slight distance between the two.There is one wall lamp on the wall on each of our sides.
Purple curtains housed the only window in the room.Most things here are made of purple because it is our favourite colour.
We have a bathroom we both share.I dropped my bag on my bed and got a warm shower dressed up and went downstairs to help mom.
"Can you fetch three plates for me"
I opened the kitchen cabinet and took out three glass plates.I laid the dinning table with the red table cloth and laid the cutlery. We all sat down to eat.
"Mom" Dianna broke the silence,"I'm participating in a beauty pageant for our school anniversary.
I would have to change my clothes for the modelling but I don't have any catchy clothes like the ones the real supermodels use"
"I could let you have my yellow dress,you remember"
"Yeah the one mom bought for you last two years on Christmas "
"It won't fit me anymore you can have it "
"Thanks sis "
My Mom gave me a cheerful smile.
I cleared the plates and cutlery after dinner washed them and nicely packed then in the cabinet.
"Thank you for what you did"
"It's ok mom we are in hard times now,she doesn't understand that"
"Where's she ?"mom asked
"In our room sound asleep "
"I have to go somewhere tomorrow to see if I can get the job I told you about yesterday ,take care of your sister "
I nodded.She climbed the stairs and went to her room.I folded the table cloth and swept there before I left to my room too.
