Prologue
"Omigod! I can't wait for the party next weekend! It's going to be the biggest bash of the year! I must go shop for the perfect outfit to wear for the party…..," my friend went on blabbering non-stop on the other side of the phone.
I checked my watch and saw that I've been on the phone for over an hour now. All that could be heard for the past hour was only my friend's non-stop voice.
"Eh, Miharu. I've got to go now. My mother wants to use the phone. Bye!" my friend said and hung up.
There is a god! I thought, grateful to put an end to her endless chattering. Now, how am I going to get my dad's and Wairei's permission to go for the party? Beg till I drop? Or try to commit suicide? Nah, Wairei will just probably say. "Sure, honey. Go jump from the highest building you can find. You have our support. I can even help push you off" .
Just before I could get up from the couch, my father entered the lounge and shouted." Kids! Come to the living room now! Your mother and I have an important announcement to make"
Kids? I'm a kid? A baby goat? Whatever! What kind of announcement? Definitely something bad. No news is good news.
"We're coming!" my siblings said cheerfully.
[ Miharu dragging her feet / practically crawling into the living room]
[Her siblings skipping / practically bouncing merrily into the living room]
As I entered the living room, I could see my step-mother gloating with pride. If she could smile any wider, her dazzling white teeth would blind me.
"Can I ask you something before you give the announcement? It's about some party th…….," I asked but was cut off.
"Don't you know it's rude to interrupt people's conversation?" my step-mother said.
You were having a conversation? All I saw was you smiling like an idiot and whispering God-knows-what to my father.
"You should learn to be more……..," she continued giving another one of her world record lectures.
She usually goes out of topic when she gives out her lectures and she's doing it again! Now, she's talking about 'killing cute, fluffy rabbits'. What does CUTE, FLUFFY rabbits have to do with interrupting people's CONVERSATION? See what I mean? I don't know what my dad sees in her. I guess it's true *sigh* Love is BLIND. She's such a conniving witch. The Wicked Witch of the North!
When will she stop lecturing?
[At 12.00am}
"Erm…I think Miharu understands what you are saying, don't you?" my dad finally decided interrupt my step mother and looked at me.
"Wh..whar?" I said waking up from my sleep. -_-
"You understand what your mother just said, don't you?" my father repeated.
No, I don't! And she's not my mother! She's my step-mother! See the difference? my brain screamed but I just nod.
"Tell them about the good news," my father urged her.
Oh yes, please tell us! I'm dieing to know….
The Wicked Witch of The North stood up and declared proudly ," I've just been promoted to a manager in the company!"
Ch! That's it? At the way she said it, I thought she won a million bucks or something….
"But…," she continued. Why is there always a but? "…we all will have to shift to Kanagawa because I'll have to work in one of the company's branches there. Your father doesn't mind because he has a head-office there too"
"Ka…Kanagawa? Ne..next week?" I spluttered.
I have to leave Tokyo? Leave all my friends? Leave everything here?
"Isn't that great, kids?" my father said.
Great? Obviously, you and I have a different definition of the word 'great' here.
"Oh, I'm so happy for you, mom!" my air head step-sister said ever-so-sweetly.
Spare me the corny talk, I said pretending to gag.
"Are you okay, Miharu?" Wairei asked suspiciously.
"I'm fine! Really," I lied.
"So, what was it you wanted to ask us earlier?" my father asked suddenly.
You remembered? Amazing! I thought you would be too occupied with your LOVELY wife to remember about your LOUSY daughter here.
"It's nothing that matters now," I muttered.
"Okay," he said.
