Kristen was typical teenager. She loved sports and going to the movies. One
day her parents decided to go on a holiday to make up for their "honeymoon"
they missed on the wedding. Her dad had a important meeting to go so they
could not go for their honeymoon and Kristen had to stay with her grandma
during the whole 3 weeks of school holidays.
" Mum! Do I have to stay with that old hag?"
"Stop calling her granny a hag!" scolded her mum.
" She is! She is! Haven't you forgotten that time we went to her house during my school holidays? We had to spend the WHOLE 3 weeks cleaning up her filthy house! She didn't even say a 'thank you'. She even scolded us for disturbing her sleep! And you still said that going to her house will be FUN ! O, mum please let me follow you and dad to Hawaii ! Please ?!?"
" But honey we are going on a honeymoon ! I am very sorry. But I will assure you that you don't have to clean up the house this year alrig - "
But Kristen had stomped up to her bedroom even when her mother was going to finish her sentence. Kristen knew she had to go to her granny house. It was surly a no-win for this argument. Her parents had waited for almost 15 years until now they could finally find time to go. Kristen felt very bad about herself for being angry with her parents and asking them to let her to follow them but she really didn't want to stay at her grandma's. She could imagine living in that dark and damp house with no TV or computer, sleeping on a bed full of dust and cockroaches scurrying around, cleaning up the century-old house and eating cold un-cooked porridge. Only porridge and nothing else. It would be a girl's worst nightmare Pure horror.
Usually grannies are very nice and kind people. They tell you about stories or bake cookies for you. They sometimes teach you about sewing or teach you some old songs. But not this one, Kristen's grandma was one cold-hearted old woman. When Kristen and her parents visited her last year during Christmas, she chided them and even wanted them to leave as she claimed that they will dirty her house. " Her house is ALREADY dirty," said Kristen with great disgust. But her mother explained that her grandma was not being rude on purpose as she was quite hot tempered. " Hot tempered MY FOOT! She already wanted us to leave. She doesn't like us, mum. I don't understand why we must visit her every year. She takes things for granted. I totally HATE her!!!" Kristen was furious. But she knew she had to pack. Reluctantly, she pulled out her navy-blue suitcase out from under her bed. Soon, she started opening cupboards and pulling out her clothes.
