Being a small petite girl for her age, Lily Evans wasn't expected to be
much of a, er, tomboy so to speak. She instead of going to Etiquette
classes, went to the corner café to hang out with the boys next door,
instead of going to ballet she went to play soccer. She was the
neighborhood rebel. At eleven years old she refused to wear dresses to the
maximum, she gave her mother ultimatums about what she'd like to do. You
couldn't tell her she wasn't allowed to go to the movies with boys, because
you'd just waste your breath. How Lily got to be like this no one really
knew, because she had one very proper mother, and an annoying perfect
sister, who always got everything right, but she was adopted when she was 2
years old, from a crackwhore, who couldn't tell left from right. Lily was
just born, so the Evans had their arms full. At age eleven they still had
their arms full, but only with one daughter now.
"Lily would you please stop" asked Petunia politely.
"why?"
"because I asked you nicely, and because it's annoying when you blow bubbles into your milk"
"Lily please stop it, I don't understand where you pick up all these bad habits"
"I don't pick up habits, I just choose to do them, Emmalyne" said Lily mumbling.
"What did you just say?"
"I said.."
"I know what you said, but what did you just call me?"
"Emmalyne"
"I'm your mother not your friend, you will respect me in that manner by calling me mum, or mother"'
"Oh come on, it's so old, I'm trying for something new, and improved, honestly, I mumI " she said with a bit too much emphasis.
"Look, Lily your going to be late for Etiquette, come on, chop chop"
"Ugh, Em- I mean mum, I don't go to class, so there's no point in pretending"
"well, atleast do it for your mother's sake" said her Uncle coming in the kitchen door.
"I suppose I should pretend, Uncle Ernie"
"Yes, that's the ticket" he replied, while receiving an angry glance from Emmalyne. Ernie was Emmalyne's twin brother. The head of the house, Mr. Robert Evans, left Emmalyne when Lily was just born, 3 weeks later to be exact. So Ernie moved in, and has helped raise the girls since they were toddlers. Lily only listened to Uncle Ernie, when he first moved in then realized he was another big person, and didn't want to listen.
"Well it's time, Lily I'll take you to Etiquette" said her uncle.
"I don't want to go"
"Well I'm sure if you gave it a try you would like It.," said her mum
"NO, I wasn't talking to you anyways, mum" "Lily, I don't know why you feel the need to be so rebelious, if you would just listen--"
"I just don't want to listen, I want to do things on my own, not have your advice here and there.." she spat.
"Why can't you be nice to mum, for a change" asked Petunia.
"Why are you so perfect" retorted Lily.
"That's it, leave now, go Ern, take her I can't handle her anymore, she's gone, out Lily OUT" snapped Lily's mum.
"Fine, I don't want to be here anymore," yelled Lily at the closed door.
"Lily, you need to be more respectful of your mother"
"I , don't care what that old hag wants, or needs"
"She brought you to life"
"I don't care, she should've had me aborted like she said she was going to, and like she did when I was four, with Patrick"
"Oh, dear"
"what is it because I know about my would be brother?"
"well, Lily you weren't supposed to be born either"
"I should've known"
" I really shouldn't be telling you,"
"Well if I was treated a little better at home maybe I wouldn't care"
"Well, if you treated your mother better she wouldn't try to be over bearing"
" I , I could treat her better I suppose but it wont happen,"
"Oh, you are just like your father"
"I want to know, why he left Emmalyne?"
"It's complicated, You have the right to know as he is your father, but I think you need to be a little bit older before I share those details"
"oh come on, I can practically take care of myself "
"I'm not saying that has anything to do with it, just when you've matured a bit more" he had to be careful how he worded what he said, because Lily would give him a cold shoulder if he didn't.
'look, Uncle Ernie, I'm going to the café now, I'll be home later, as usual"
"atleast let me walk you to the sidewalk, so I can say I saw you to the place"
"Alright. Agreed" said Lily grumpily.
"Lily would you please stop" asked Petunia politely.
"why?"
"because I asked you nicely, and because it's annoying when you blow bubbles into your milk"
