Chapter 1

Roseanne is a popular dancing queen in our school. Slim body, long and elegant legs with a height of 170 cm, sparkly eyes that make every boys in our school had a crush on her, and the worst is, her brain is as good as her body. And I'm just a girl so normal that you would lose me in a crowded place. Not that tall, with normal looks, even my grades are just above the failing line.

I'm always jealous of her. Roseanne is the best and I'm the worst. We both study in a normal local school, but I just can't figure out that how come me and her are in the same classroom. If you were me, you would probably laugh so hard until your eyeballs pop out. But then, I'm always the one that classmates compare to Roseanne, and that is no more better than take a sniper and shoot yourself. Even though, I still wish I could be half as good as her, not until my mom announced that she's my stepsister.

"Amy, come down! Come and meet your stepfather and your stepsister. She said that she's in the same school as you do." My mom shouted to the second floor one day when I came home and just about to open my Mac.

"Hi, Amy!" A sweet voice welcomed me. Wait, why is this sounds so familiar. I raise my head, it was ROSEANNE.

"I'm your stepsister, nice to meet you, Amy! My dad told me everything about you, and we're going to sleep in the same room. Isn't that exciting, I have never had a sibling." Errhhh, I shivered, why is this innocent sound sounds scary when coming from her mouth. I have never heard her said a good thing to me or just talk to me use a nice tone. The way she treated me in school is worst than being refused by my crush. I can't believe I have to sleep with her and accept her as my stepsister.

My face must be weird at that time because my stepfather looks at me like I'm a freak, and my mom whispered at my ears, "Say hi to Roseanne, be polite, she's your stepsister." Why does the usual delighted voice sound sharp in my ears.

"Hey, Roseanne! Glad to see you be my stepsister. We'll have so much fun tonight!" I forced my teeth to let go the greeting sentences, I never knew that my sound could sound so strange. But at least the way of looking from my stepfather relaxed a little bit, probably thinking finally I'm turning normal.

My mom patted me and Roseanne on the back and told me to lead my new stepsister to her room. Or should I say, MY room.

"Thank you, mom. How nice is Amy to show me my new room. I promise I would treat her like my own sister." Roseanne said in a so-joyful voice that I nearly fainted, the big smile that she gave to my mom would definitely let the boys in our school do anything for her. Stop, I thought about the last sentence, you are the one who came to our house, why are you saying like I'm being adopted to your family. A fierce stare from my mom told me that I misbehave again.

Just a few steps in front of my room, Roseanne turned back to her "normal" self, which to me is the like the hell keeper, worst than Hades. She stepped so hard towards my room, I wonder is Roseanne a natural Set's generation. Okay, I admitted that although my scores aren't so good compares to the "princess" besides me, but I really do spend a lot of time on myth gods and goddesses.

Roseanne stomped into my room with anger, but after browse my room, she pointed at the bed, desk, mostly everything in my room and told me that those are belongs to her, which means I can't touch or even walk near them. The only space that left is the balcony, she doesn't mean that I have to sleep there, does she? The next thing I saw is her smile, the kind of smile that can see through my body and my mind. I shivered, although tonight is over 35 degrees.

She aimed her eyes like aimer at my newest Mac, I earned every cent of that from five years of hardworking in school, and just bought it last week. Please, I prayed to every gods I know, don't let Roseanne touch my Mac. Apparently, it doesn't work. Because my Mac already turned into pieces, lying sadly on the shiny ground, for once, I just hope that I accepted my mom's offer to have mat on the ground. Roseanne jeered at me, and walked right through the pile of pieces of my Mac.

My mom heard the noise and came up. I have never so eager to see my mom appeared at my doorway. I was just about to say that Roseanne smashed my Mac and kicked her out of here. Roseanne complained to my mom, with a voice that anyone would believe, "Mom, Amy pushed me to the ground, it hurt so much. I just want to see her closet." How come the voice is beneath me. I lowered my head, and there, I saw Roseanne lying down in front of my Mac's corpse, pretending that she just fell.

Mom came inside. Helping Roseanne to get up while yelling at me, I was just so mad. My mom had never yell at me, even when the time I pushed her to a hobo and she almost kissed him. But this time, just because a misunderstood, she scowled at me. Roseanne's just like Aphrodite, charm speaking to my mom, and breaking families.

I'm not in the mood of arguing or just explain for myself, and there's no time for me to, because mom already use light speed to make a bed at balcony, and Roseanne magically hide the pieces of my Mac. My mom walked out without saying anything to me, I'm being ignored. All she wants is Roseanne to have everything, and the two-persons' world with my stepfather.

Roseanne gave me a smile that makes me wish I were never born. Today is so unlucky. I thought, when I'm in my bed at balcony, without anyone to say "good night" with, no kiss or showering. I don't really mind about it, but tomorrow is a school day, the last day of school, with a formal ball. And I don't even get to use a bathroom because the "Daughter of Aphrodite" already conquered it with all pink stuff, making me want to puke. Tomorrow would be a really tiring day… I slept through the night, soundly, deeply with that thought.

But tomorrow wasn't as good as I expected, everything went so wrong that is worst than going south but on the way to north. I woke up with a bucket of water poured on me, I opened my eyes, my last bit of laziness disappeared with the ice cold water.

"What the… Who is it?" I found myself stupid asking that with Roseanne in front of me holding an empty bucket.

I want to punch her in the face, but fifteen years of education told me I shouldn't do that. Roseanne looked at me like I'm a crown, making fun of myself. She finally walked away after throwing a bomb that weight more than Earth.

"Good morning, garbage, it is time for you to serve me. And should I try to wake you up tomorrow using a bucket of boiling water?" She said in a cute voice that no one would argue with it, but to me, it is just like reviving me from the dead, and shoot me again, use a different way though, for a thousand more time. I just wish, she never was here.

Smell the delicious food makes me forgot what just happen. My mom's cooking skills have been improved, the breakfast is getting better. Butter, bread, pancakes with syrup, everything is worth me to be fat by eating them. Just when I was about to begin eating, Roseanne switched mine with hers. I don't really care whose I'm eating at, but apparently, there's more food in her plate than mine. So I accepted the "gift" from her without saying anything.

I stared at the breakfast, it is just so delicious. But when I put my fork on the pancake, it wriggles. My hands bounced back so hard that I nearly fell from my chair, "THE FOOD WRIGGLED! MY PANCAKE!" I shouted to everyone. I don't care how rude is that, I just don't want to eat something alive that is moving.

"AMY! Watch your table manner!" My mom sounds that she is going to eat me at anytime. And my stepfather just like that is your daughter? to my mom.

After their examining, the result is there is a baby mouse in my pancake. I jumped so high that I nearly touched the moon when I heard that, my mom should know that I hate mouse more than anything, and she's speaking to me in a not-a-big-deal voice. I can't bear it.

I took my school bag and don't care how ugly the attire that Roseanne forced me to wear, ran to the school leaving the shocking family. Or should I just say, mom, stepfather and Roseanne.
