The sar ride home was silent. When we got home Haylie and Gus were looking over some stuff with Mom. I reconized what they were looking at immeadiatley. Report cards! Great, I thought, I wonder how bad my grades are this time.

''Yes! Straight As again!''Haylie shouted.

''No wonder.''I grumbled. Even though the not-so-helpful comment was mostly to myself everyone heard it. Everyone stared at me waiting for me to continue.

I simply said,''I have homework to do.''

When I got to the top of the stairs my mom called,''Hey! Do you want dinner?''

''I'm not hungry!''I yelled. That was a lie my stomach was growling, but I just couldn't stand to be with the prodigies.

When I got to mt room I slamed the door shut, dumped my bookbad in to my deskchair and flopped down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. My room color was a lavendar a nice calming lavendar. Unlike my sister's room which was a neon orange and hot pink striped. It hurt my eyes so much that it gave me a headache. Gus's room color was a little more tolarable, it was a robin's egg blue.

I stared at my ceiling sulking for about an hour until I thought of something. My life was soo scwered up. My relationship with my family was on the fritz and Merideth had been ruining my life since the fifth grade. I wonder what Dad will tell Mom about the arguement we had at the vet's office, I wondered. And I was going to find out!

I walked down the hall and ducked in to the closet that was right beside my parents' bedroom. When we were little and still hung out together Me, Gus and Haylie cut a hole in this closet's wall by doing that we were able to see and hear in to our parents' bedroom. The purpose was to be able to find out what we were getting for birthdays and/or Christmas. I knelt down next to the hole. It was about the size of a quarter so I couldn't see that well, but I could hear and that was the only thing that mattered at the moment.

First came Dad's voice,'' I don't know Nikki, at first I thought it was just her being the mean older sister but, now I'm really not sure.''

Mom said,'' She's just going through a rough patch. She'll get over it.''

''Yeah but, how long is it going to last? It's been going on since the fifth grade at least.''

''Hmmm I wonder.''

''What?"

''I was just wondering if history is repeating itself.''

''Nikki, what do you mean?''

''I'm wondering if Merideth is doing the same thing to Andera that Mackenzie did to me.''

''Nikki I know that look on your face. Don't call the pricipal. First of all, you have no proof that Merideth is picking on Andera. Second, if Andera had a problem she would come to us, I hope.''

I had heard enough. I opened up the closet door and slammed it shut. I looked up to see Gus, looking at me while he was brushing his teeth.

''Don't worry.''He said,''I won't tell Mom and Dad.''

''Thanks.''I said.

Gus continued,''I dont see why your spying on them. Christmas is two monthes away.''He soon disapeared in to his room.

I angrily continued to my room. If Mom was picked on when she was my age why didn't she simaphize with me? Instead she's constantly calling me out whenever I do something wrong. For example, telling me to stop calling Haylie and Gus th child prodigies. I bet she treated aunt Brianna that way. And, I couldn't come to them with every problem I had.

I heard a soft knock at the door,''Andera?''

It was Haylie I replied, ''Go away Haylie.''

''I saw how mad you were. I just came to ask, What's the matter?''

''Nothing. I said go away!'' I was getting more annoyed by the second.

''You know it's always better to talk about things.''

''I said go away! In fact go to hell while your at it!''

I could tell by her breathing that she was on the verge of tears,''You know Andera, we used to be best buddies. Now were not. And you can be a real whitch sometimes!''

When Haylie's room's door slamed shut.I colapsed on my bed out of pure exhustion and fell asleep.
