5 Bratty Little Sister
China sighed and took her cleaning equipments and left the room. She headed to the next room and opened the door, her thoughts centered on the recent misfortunes in her life.
"Are you crazy, how dare you just barge into my room like this? Weren't you taught any manners where you came from?" A slim teenage girl that looked no more than thirteen yelled.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I was just lost in thought." China apologized not ready for a squabble with the rude girl.
"Feel sorry for yourself, what the hell are you doing here anyway? I don't recognise you so you must be that slut mum has decided to hire but let me warn you, don't dare try anything stupid you mannerless bumpkin or I swear you'll regret it." The girl said so harshly.
That was the limit. "I can say the same the for you, you know." China replied calmly.
"What!" The girl yelled.
"Yes. Just go look at yourself in a mirror and you'll know who the real bumpkin is. Better still go ask someone else about your looks because I can tell you have poor eye sight given your glasses." China fired back.
"How dare you?" Anger was completely written on the girl's face.
"I should be asking you that,how dare you judge me when you're no better. Look who's talking, you're like what? Thirteen and yet you have no manners of approach. I know I walked in without knocking but I already apologized and yet,you keep on running that poisonous mouth of yours." China said and paused when she saw something that looked like a magazine.
She picked it up and she gasped "Is this what you're reading,fetish magazines with nude models at this age? And here you are calling me names when you're the real slut." China voiced shocked to the bone.
"What do you care what I read? It's my life and my money so I read,watch or do what I want." The girl said unremorseful.
"You're right, I shouldn't care so please leave the room,I wanna clean it." China said
"Wait! I'm not done with my homework, I still can't figure it out." The girl said. "Let me see,maybe I can help." China suggested.
"You can't help me, what do you know? You're not even well educated." The rude girl was at it again.
"For your info,I finished high school with one of the best grades, I was even given a scholarship to the university of my choice but my dad won't let me go. He decided I wouldn't go to the university and he forced me to take this godforsaken job." China voiced out her frustration.
The girl was left speechless. China collected the books and taught her the concept of thermal energy and the calculation of power.
"Wow! I never realized you were so intelligent. Thanks for helping me and I'm sorry for being such a brat. My name is Angie,I'm Alvin's little sister." She introduced and stretched her hand forward for a shake.
China was reluctant but she shook her hand anyway. "And I'm China Anderson." She also introduced.
"You see my family keeps saying such mean things about you and I just thought you were bad but now I realize they're wrong. You still helped me despite the insults I rained on you." Angie said with remorse.
"It's OK. I forgive you but this goes to show you should never judge someone until you get to know him/her. Can you promise you'll never do that again?" China advised.
"Yes I promise." Angie promised and China smiled warmly.
