Chapter 4: Favouritsim
P/E/D P.o.v
The book sat on my lap and I just stared at it.
Favoritism: noun.
The practice of giving unfair preferential treatment to one person or group at the expense of another.
Something had changed in our family that day Lily brought my flowers back to life. My parents began to favour my sister. Dressed in greater clothes, cherished her and I slowly began to be back ground to my family.
When Lily turned six and began grade one, she was bumped up to my year because she was smart, teachers sang praises, and I began to despise my life. Lily hardly talked to me, we used to share secrets! We used to be the best of friends, gosh oh how I wish we could go back and be friends. To see my little sister look at me as if I was the best thing in the world…
"Here let me! I know how to! Petunia can be a bit dumb sometimes!" Lily said and took the knife from me in foods lesson. My face turned bright red and I scowled.
"I know very well how to cut some damned carrots!" I squealed in outrage.
"See look, her face is red, red as a tomato!" Lily giggled and the whole class began to laugh.
Sneering I throw my carrot at my sister and race out of the room, ignoring Miss Margo's call for me to stay in the room. I hid in the washrooms until school was over.
When I got to the bright turquoise car, Lily was crying and tattling on me, telling our parents how I threw a carrot at her.
They turned around and scolded me! Didn't even get the second side of the story!
