Opportunity
Cindy woke up to the sun sparkling brightly through her window. The sun has just risen but she's already up and about.
" Normal teenagers wouldn't be up this early on a Saturday." She grumble to herself.
"The only reason I'm up this early is because my stepsisters have a recital today and stepmother made me." Cindy continue ranting to no one in particular.
Cindy began thinking of her family. Maybe family isn't the right word more like... live in house acquaintances. The only remaining people in her life are her two stepsisters and horrid stepmother.
When Cindy was nine her mother died in a car accident. Her father was convinced that Cindy needed a mother. A year latter he was married to a woman named Kate. Unfortunately she came with 2 disgusting daughters, Drizella and Anastasia. Drizella is short and fat with greasy raven hair, the same color as her mothers. Anastasia was tall and bony with red hair, she had fingers nails that are extremely long andshe seemed to prefer them to look like talons, long and painted in some unnatural color that didn't complement her skin tone.
Cindy walked downstairs and began to cook breakfast. After about fifteen minutes everything was almost complete. Cindy, pleased with herself, began to hum softly.
" Cinderella, are finished with breakfast yet?' said an airy voice from behind her.
Cindy turned startled, clutching the plate of eggs a bit to tightly. Cinderella is her real name and she hates it.
" Yes stepmother." said Cindy dryly as she settled the plate down the table, wiping some of her strawberry blond hair away from her face.
" Good," said her stepmother. Cindy's stepmother Kate is a very mean looking woman. She had Raven black hair dusted with a bit of grey that she usually
had twisted in a tight bun. To Cindy her stepmother greatly resembled a bird, with her pointed nose, black beady eyes, and her expression that she is
better than everyone else.
" Drizella, Anastasia breakfast is ready!" she called up the stairs.
Drizella and Anastasia came running down the stairs, fighting each other to be the first to get the plate of fresh bacon.
" Girls, settle down it's not ladylike" said Kate her words were lost as the girls were wrestling for the bacon
Cindy's stepmother began to rub her temples. " Cinderella please pickup the newspaper from outside and not be utterly useless."
"Yes stepmother." Said Cindy. She picked up the paper, little did she know that a simple morning paper will change her life forever.
