Chapter Two ~
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAA"
"SERENA!! You leave your brother alone. He's too little to be playing so rough. You go to your room." shrieked a frazzled Irene. She had been up with Sammy since 6 AM and needed a nap. Serena seemed to be stepping on every last nerve that Irene had. Sammy, however, was a perfect angel of a baby.
"Mommy, I didn't do anything! I was just playing with my bunnies when he crawled over and pinched me. I didn't mean to hit him, really!" whimpered Serena. "Please don't make me go to my room. I'll be good. I promise."
Irene saw the pain on the young girls face, but wasn't going to cave. "You had your chance, now scoot." And with that Irene pointed the way to Serena's room.
***********************************************
From the time Sammy came home from the hospital things were slowly changing around the Tsukino household. Serena's parents were paying less and less attention to her, and more to the baby. Serena knew that babies were a lot of work, but she needed them too. Just the other day she had scraped her knee when she fell. Mom patched her up, and gave her a hug. That was wonderful. She hadn't got a good hug from mom in over a week. And now that she got in trouble at least Mom talked to her.
***********************************************
Slowly Serena started to become more and more klutzy. At least she was noticed then. She also started to cry louder than Sammy could as well. It was no fun to cry if no one heard you. Now she had her wail down to an art. No one could out cry her, no way no how.
Once Serena started school she noticed that Mom and Dad expected her to do well. Whenever she brought home a good paper, they smiled and patted her on the head. If the grades weren't so great, they started to get more vocal. Serena would get them for half the night, because they would have to explain the virtue of hard work and getting good grades. Serena knew all that, but this way she got their undivided attention. It wasn't like she didn't know the right answers; she just didn't put them down.
There had to be better ways to get attention, but this works for now. Hopefully she won't have to do it much longer…
