"Ugggg." Ten year old Callie plopped down on the couch, her straight brown hair stiff, as always.
Her twin sister giggled. "Is Cole not a good science partner?"
Callie glared at her. "Your so lucky you got Micky Walters! He`s like, the smartest person in school!"
Sarah just smiled. She, like her sister was slender and pretty. They were identicle, but Sarah had blond hair instead of dark brown. Her ice blue eyes sparkled.
Callie raised an eyebrow. "What are you smi- Oh. Oh no, Sarah. Micky is completely dull! He`s quiet and boring and...and...and..."
"I dont like him!" Sarah protested. "Well not like like him at least. But he`s nice."
Callie would have said something, but at that moment thier mother walked in. Her brown hair was tied back in a bun and she had her buisness suit on.
"I have some things I need to talk to you two about." She said.
Callie yawned. "Is it gonna take long?" She asked. "I`m tired!"
Anaya Miller rolled her eyes."It`s four o clock, Callie! And no, it wont take long. But you may not like it."
Sarah sat up and Callie reluctantly looked at Anaya.
"I have to go on a buisness trip." Anaya said. "It`ll take about a week, and I need someone to watch you girls. So I called your Aunt Ella."
The girls groaned. Aunt Ella was so strict.
"Anyway, she`ll be staying with you."
"When are you leaving?" Sarah asked.
"Friday." Anaya answered.
"Brillant." Callie muttered.
Anaya frowned at her. "I know you don`t like Aunt Ella, but she`s the only one willing to stay with you."
"Alright Mama." Sarah said. She was much more reasonable than her sister, who happened to be very reckless. Of course, she was ADHD. And dyslexic. Sarah was too, but she tried her best to always be polite.
Anaya smiled at her. "Thanks for understanding."
She walked out of the room. Callie slumped in the couch.
"I cant believe we`re gonna be stuck with Ella." She growled. "For an entire week!"
Sarah tried to think of something to say that would cheer her up, but she couldnt. Ella really was horrible. The last time she had visited, Sarah had gotten in trouble for coughing while her favorite T.V. show was on. Callie had been yelled at several times for numerous things, such as "accendently" putting her bra in the garbage disposal. Sarah had to admit, she had laughed pretty dang hard at that.
The worst thing Ella had ever done to them though, was bringing up thier lack of a father. She was constantly scolding Mama for it.
"Why dont you get married?" She`d say. "Your pretty, Anaya. And young! Oh what a mistake you made! Having twins at only seventeen! Who was the worthless scum bag, anyway?"
Sarah had lost her temper at that. Though she had never met her father, she felt an urge to defend him. She yelled some choice words at Aunt Ella, and was then comforted by Callie.
The worst part of not knowing her father, was not even knowing his name. Their mother didnt even know his name. Sarah knew that he had to be blond. He had to have blue eyes. She pictured him as tall and handsome.
One day, she promised herself, one day I will meet my father.
She looked at her sister and forced a smile. "It`ll be okay." She said. "I know it will."
