treat me well

I was enjoying my peaceful sleep,I was still dreaming about me and a guy dancing suddenly I felt my body wet.

All my beds were filled with water,all my body were so soaked with water also.

I stood up lazily to checked the person and I discovered it was my mum.

I checked the time and discovered it was 5am in the morning..... anyways that is how I wake up early,I will sleep late and still wake up early while Eva my sister wakes at 9am. Mummy good morning ma"I greeted her.

"Keep your greetings to your self you fool,I had woken up to ease myself and I discovered you are still asleep are you not supposed to be washing the dishes now huh" she asked.

"Am sorry...am sorry mum" I said and quickly ran out of the room.

When I reached the kitchen,I felt a sharp pain in my belly and I already knew the pain.....it was menstrual pain,I usually have pains if am on my period but my mum does not want to know if am having pains or not.

"Omg,ooooh!!! I don't even have sanitary pad to use now,I normally buy it for myself but if I have money but It have finished...I guess i will just use clothes,if it should finish,I normally use clothes.

Let me introduce myself,my name is kareen Charles am 17yrs old,am staying with my parents and I have a younger sister who is 15yrs,we are not poor in my family let me just say middle class.

My mum is a business woman while my Dad is a banker.... With all this they still alIow me to hawk cup cakes every day anytime am back from school_ I think that is okay about me now.

I don't know why my family dislikes me, have been asking myself the question since.

I saw the plates in the kitchen and I almost passed out.....why are the dishes many today huh.

I picked them and I started washing them, even though I was feeling pains.

I guess am the only one awake, because I could not hear sounds again maybe my mum have gone back to sleep.

I started feeling cold and also shaking vigorously due to the water she poured on me.

After I finished washing the dishes,I started cooking breakfast and i checked the time and it was 6'o clock.....I am a dead meat.

I quickly left the kitchen to washed the dirty clothes because if she is awake and am not done she is going to beat me for it.

I am the one that wash the family cloth every day including my sister's own.

We even have washing machine but she does not allow me to use it.

After I finished washing the plates,I quickly picked the broom and I swept the whole house.

Before I knew it,I finished my works.....

After I finished my work I reached my room and I quickly removed my clothes and entered the bathroom to bath after I finished bathing I checked the time that I was late already which is a normal thing for me so I quickly dressed up on my way to the kitchen to carry my food I met Emiy on her way to school.

Emiy and I does not stay in the same room her room is more prettier and we'll furnished than my own.....the only thing I have in my room is my cloth and an abandoned bed the bed is even smelling due to the way my mum pours water on it whenever I did not wake up early.

"Kareen go and help me to bring my school bag," she said.

"What?? Did you mean me?? " I asked her

"Who else will I be talking to if not you,are you deaf??" She asked.

"You must be stupid" I said and wanted to pass her.

"You heard her clearly you fool,how many times will I tell you to help her to do whatever she asked you" mum said and she came out of her room she was fully dressed.

"But mum" I was about saying something when she shushed me.

"Will you keep quiet, have I not told you not to talk whenever am talking huh" she asked.

"Am sorry mum" I said.

"For that this is your punishment no school for you today, thank God there is no food in the pot again,wash all the toilet in the house and after that you should come to my shop to collect cup cakes and you must sell everything finish" she said and walked out.

No school for me and they have finished the food today again,why is my life like this?? Why is my life different huh.

Lidia pov

I waited for kareen to come to school but I did not see her.

I guess she is not coming again today, something seems strange about her that I don't know.

I think she is hiding something from me, anytime I wanted to follow her to get house she always stop me.

She looks really poor and tattered even though her beauty still overcome it.... sometimes I wonder how she pays her school fees.

Enough about kareen ,let me introduce myself.....my name is lidia am the only child of my parents.....my parents are rich and am 16yrs old.

My best friend is kareen and I love her so much even though she is older than me.

I don't really understand her....

"The school will be really boring for me today without her" I thought.
