A small, redheaded girl stared mindlessly at the TV screen before. It was 3 hours after dawn, the time she had gotten up to watch her beloved Saturday morning cartoons. Without warning, her older sister came out of the bathroom and changed the channel to a show called "Latest Celebrity Gossip."
"Mommy! Petunia won't let me watch Teletubbies!"
"Shut up, Lily. I'm older. Besides, Teletubbies are stupid. Who cares about a bunch of ugly creatures making stupid noises? It's for babies. Oh wait, that would be you," her older sister smirked.
Their mother scolded the both of them and let Lily continue to watch her cartoons. Petunia had tried to twirl her blonde hair innocently, a routine that stopped working ever since her wretched sibling was born.
Suddenly it seemed like nothing Petunia did was important enough for her parents. Baby Lily had stolen the spotlight – all of it. Petunia didn't know how to get back what was previously hers. That included the bedtime story, lullaby singing, and toys bought every Sunday. She vowed at the age of 7 to have only one child when she becomes older. Just one to spoil and love and that child will have all her attention. Her offspring will be second to none because there will be no second child.
Young Lily fixed her bright green eyes on her latest object of affection; a teddy bought by her grandmother. Petunia scowled jealously at her younger sister. She remembered when Grandma used to buy her gifts. She couldn't stand watching another moment of favoritism. The older sibling stalked angrily to her neighbor's house. Vernon always listened to her – mostly because she forced him to. Still, forced attention was better than no attention.
Short chapter, I know, but there's a lot of them soon to come!
