Let's Go Home!

I searched everywhere in the shopping mall across my street, trying to find my stupid sister. We went there with a shopping list in my hand for a few items for my father at the hospital. He was hospitalized the previous night because he was stressed. "So they said"

We haven't even finished shopping, but now, I couldn't find her.

I was having a headache already and was angry at her. Just waiting to see her, then extinguish my anger on her.

"You just wait till I find you and you will get it from me!"

Since I couldn't find her inside, I decided to go and look for her outside because it was getting late already. Staying out late, was something my father hated more than anything. I didn't know what she was doing, or maybe she was sleeping somewhere again. She always did that whenever she had the chance to.

When I stepped out of the shopping mall, I looked sideways and then I saw my sister not too far away. Standing and talking with a "man". I could not hold back my rage, seeing that she was right there, comfortably talking with a man. That alone, made me run mad. I couldn't stop thinking of ways to get back at her.

I immediately walked down to them without wasting any more time, waiting to pull my sister's ear. How dare she!

"I was here looking for her and she is there conversing with a "man"! Ok, you just wait! You will surely get it this time!!"

After getting close enough, with anger, I screamed her name and she moved her body to the other side to get a better view of the person who called out her name, because the man standing there was obstructing her view. I could not stop admiring the fine man's back and I wondered what his front would be like. For a minute there, I lost myself but I did not waste any time in "fixing up" real quick! I got more angry because my sister was with such a man. How could she have such rare luck?! I refused to accept it.

I heard my name and after confirming it was my sister, I got really scared because I knew she was going to do something really bad to me. I was always scared of my sister because she was always having this strong hatred for me. It made me think that I was adopted, "so I thought" and funny enough, it wasn't just her, but my father and mother too.

She came to me and pulled my ear, shouting and hitting me everywhere. I became really hot and my face flushed with embarrassment.

"Is something wrong with you?" She spat hurtful words at me while dragging me along with her. I was so, so afraid of what would come next. Knowing how wicked my sister could be, I knew I would be roasted alive at home. While I was preparing for my own death, she spoke the big word before marching home.

"Let's go home!"
