expelled.
Lisa has never been expelled before, it kind of sucks when your entire life is based around school.
But Lisa guess she could get by, she just needs any from the house once in a while. And she hope her mother won't kill her too much.
She knows what happened, she sat on the bed with her knees curled up to her chest rocking back and forth.
She was sick today, not majorly but enough to warrant staying home.
Maggie shivered, she knew what had happened three years ago and didn't want to say anything. She couldn't say anything, she'd suffer a fate worse then death itself.
Just like him, just like her brother.
Her head perked up when she heard some yelling going on downstairs, one was her mother, which she thought was off doing whatever she does when her father wasn't home, and the other was Lisa.
Very loud stomping was heard, Maggie peaked out a bit and saw Lisa going to her room.
Maggie closed the door, she could tell Lisa was in trouble and Marge didn't want to do anything or her mother was just adding to the problems.
She stuck her head out the door and made sure the coast was clear before backing a silent dash to Lisa's door.
A soft knock and opening the door Maggie saw her big sister sitting in front of her computer again, in a while it was kind of symbolic.
Like this desk has a mystical protection around it from the rest of the hurtful world.
Maggie stepped inside and closed the door behind her, Lisa was looking over her shoulder at her baby sister. It seemed she wanted to say something important, but there would be dire consequences if what every it is got out.
"I heard you and mom arguing downstairs" Maggie said, "I wonder if you needed someone to talk to."
The door opened and Maggie froze on the spot, Marge poked her head in and said "I'm going out" then left.
It took a few moments for her to ease up, Lisa stayed were she is but now she was fully facing her sister. She could see Maggie was (fugitively) carrying the weight of the world, Lisa was about to stand when Maggie smiled.
"From what I understand that you were expelled" Maggie said, "I guess the Simpsons are destined to be from school."
Lisa was a bit amazed that Maggie could make something so bad sound so good, almost an honour. But that didn't cover the fact that she was hiding something.
"Mags" Lisa said as she stood up, "is there something you need to talk about?"
Maggie froze again, not as tense as when Marge said she was going out, but she was tense none the less.
"I-I..." Maggie looked into her sister's eyes, she knew that she had to tell someone. "Can we talk somewhere else? Like in the basement?"
Lisa nodded, she knew that every person has their own little secret hide aways.
Lisa took lead, she made sure Marge wasn't home and signaled Maggie the coast was clear. Once they travel down the stairs into the area of the house where many Simpson did their crazy scheme planning Maggie pulled out a cot from under the stairs and sat down, her bangs where overshadowing her eyes but Lisa knew that this was something big.
"Promise not to tell Marge?" Maggie said as she lifted her head, Lisa nodded.
"How old were you when you had your crushes?" Maggie started, Lisa thought about it for a second then answered.
"About 7, eight maybe. Why?"
Maggie looked down again, "I thought so, but I guess you don't have the same type crush I do. I feel like a freak."
"Maggie?" Lisa made the motion to reach for her baby sister but stopped when Maggie shook her head.
"Please don't pity me, I'm not a freak. It's natural, I know there's a lot of people like me."
Lisa lowered her hand to her side, she understand what Maggie was saying.
"Anyone in paticulare?"
"No, no one right now" Maggie smiled, "it really bothers you, does it?"
"No, it doesn't."
Maggie smiled, "thanks."
Lisa nodded, Maggie lay down on the cot which meant she needed some alone time to think. Going upstairs Lisa thought about how mature she was when she was Maggie's age, it wasn't even as close as it was to her (Maggie's).
But such maturity at a young age was quite a burden to carry, Lisa know that from experience.
Please be careful Lisa thought as she entered the kitchen, Don't snap like I did.
