The Unhappy Child.

I woke up from the smell of my mum's banana pancakes. I quickly ran downstairs for my morning breakfast and took the first bus to school.

I was happy being the only person in my mum's life after my dad passed away until, Mr. Douglas showed up at our door step in one fine evening. My mom and I were making our favourite dinner that friday night and then the door bell rang. When I opened the door I saw a tall looking man was staring right in my eyes. Those dark green eyes and a "can I get in" look told me everything about him. My mum invited him inside and told me that he was going to be my step father. I couldn't believe her words. I asked again if he was going to stay with us forever and my mum answered yes.

It's been months and my relation with my mum took a complete U-turn. He'll even be on the kitchen when mum and I make our favourite meal on a friday night. It's hard to confide my mum about him. I guess I'll never be able to see him like a father.
