• “Hurry up Allie.” Tammy shouted. “We’re going to be late.”
    “I’m hurrying, I hadn’t put my shoes on properly over wise I would have been faster.” I said struggling to keep up with her older sister.
    Tammy my older sister 16 was half-cast, she had big beautiful brown eyes, short, dark and curly hair really tall skinny with a beauty spot just on the top of her lip.
    My name’s Allie the youngest 12 long brown hair with bluely greenly eyes a bit tall a bit skinny but I’m nowhere near as beautiful as my older sister Tammy.
    We share a mother she’s white but we have different dads you see. Tammy’s dad was black African he died many years ago with heart cancer. Mine was white and had left my mum when she was pregnant with me. I’m not bothered about it much anymore as he didn’t want me unlike Tammy’s dad did but then again he is dead. So we both haven’t got dads.
    When we got to school there was still loads of kids on the playground. The bell hadn’t run yet. I looked at my sister, she was just as out of breath as I was she shrugged but just then the bell rang.
    “You see Allie, we had just made it.” Tammy said huffing and puffing. “I’ll see you at the end of school ‘Kay.” Then she ran to join her friends without even an answer.”
    Then I had remember my shoes was still the wrong way round, I guess if you have it on long enough you get used to it. I took them off and put them the right way round. I went to class like normal,
    “Jeannette Brook secondary school.” I sighed was an immensely common school. I’ve just started year 8 finishing year 7 of course but little has changed except this year Tammy showed me how to make an msn LilAllzSkiitz@Hotmail.co.uk. So now I can talk to my friends free online, although most kids in my class have had msn’s since, they were 10 so it’s nothing to brag about I guess. As soon as I sat down quickly next to my best friend Chloe. Chloe is blonde bright blue eyes a bit shorter than me but very skinny even skinner then Tammy which is saying something, Tammy had always said how skinny Chloe is and how she wish she was a skinny as Chloe but to be honest who would really want to be that skinny anyway.
    “Hey Allie you’ve finally made it.” Chloe said smiling.
    “Hiya Chloe guess what.” I said
    “What.”
    “I’ve got an actually msn. LilAllzSkiitz@Hotmail.co.uk. ”
    “Wow finally now I can talk to you online.”
    “Yeah great innit.”
    The teacher came in just after I had said that as if she was listening to the whole conversation, that’s the spooky things about teachers you don’t know what they’re really thinking in their head do yah.
    “Quite down, Quite down.” Said the teacher. We didn’t know the teachers name because here at Jeanette Brook School we have new teachers every day.
    “Okay I don’t know ya’ll names so ya’ll will have to bear with me if I get ya’ll name wrong, yah hear.” Today’s school teacher is from Texas figures.
    “Alright den hmm Jane, Mollie, Tom, Chloe, Tasha, Allie. Okay then pupils today’ lesson is math.”
    The lesson was so boring I could hardly keep awake and didn’t do any of my work so guess what I got held back till the end and missed 10 minutes of my break.
    “You haven’t done any of your work.” Said teacher. “Why.”
    “Because I was tired.” I answered.
    “Well you need to write 100 line saying I need to go sleep earlier.”
    “What a waste of time when I go sleep at 8:00pm.” I Lied.
    “Oh well okay you may go.”
    Well that teacher wasn’t very bright. Either way I got out and I’ve got 15 minutes left of break got to find Tammy and tell her about that teacher in case she has him.
    “Allie!” someone shouted. It was Sasha my sisters best friend. Sasha was black and very beautiful she wore extensions which suited her and had green contact lens, she was tall and skinny just like Tammy.
    “Yeah Sasha.” The tone of her voice made me panic in alarm.
    “It’s Tammy, she wants you about something private she wouldn’t even tell me.”
    I ran with Sasha to Tammy. Like Tammy, Sasha was rapid fast at running but the worry running through my head had made me run faster than I have ever before I almost lined up with Sasha just almost. When we had gotten to Tammy I was extremely out of breath, Sasha looked like she had just had a light jog.
    “Tammy, Allie’s here.” Sasha called. Tammy came out of the shadows strangely.
    “Allie, the hospital called the school mum’s collapsed.”
    “What, don’t lie Tammy please don’t.”
    “Look in my eyes Allie, you think I would lie about something serious like this.”
    I stared deep into Tammy’s eyes I could tell she was telling the truth. Well that’s what I thought. Sasha started sniggering, Tammy joined in until they both burst out loud laughing.
    “Ah hahaha.” Sasha laughed “I can’t believe you feel for it Allie.” I gave her a look.
    “Come on Allie don’t look at Sasha like that it was all my plan she did tell me not to but I can’t believe you actually fell for it.” Said Tammy.
    “You shouldn’t say things like that what if that actually happened.”
    Tammy stopped laughing. “Look I’m really sorry Allie, I’ll never do it again.” She went to hug me, I pulled away at first but in the end I gave up and we had a huge hug.
    “I forgive you Tammy.” I said.
    “Ok, here’s what I really wanted to tell you.” She whispered quietly in my ear. “I’ve gotten myself a boy friend.”
    “What.” I almost screamed.
    “Oh you heard me didn’t you, guess who it is.”
    “I don’t know who.”
    “Lenny Brown.” She shrieked.
    “Lenny Brown?” I asked.
    “The hottest boy in all of year 11.”
    “Oh really.” I said totally without interest.
    “Yeah, I heard he only goes out with 6 form girl, yeah he thinks I’m totally hot.”
    “And let me guess you’re going out tonight to a movie or for some fish and chips and when you come back home you’re going to make it out as it was the most magical night when all you did was kiss.”
    “Can’t you be happy for me this is my first boyfriend?”
    “No not really.”
    Tammy was going to say something when the bell rang for second lesson. She just walked away without saying goodbye. She can be stubborn like that Tammy.
    I went to my lesson English yuck. I checked my timetable. Double English yuck yuck.
    I walked really slowly to my lesson and got in trouble. Chloe was already there. She can be such a boffin some times, but at least she was at the back and I could sit next to her.
    “Hey you’re late.”
    “Yeah, I had a fight with my sister.”
    “Oh, Tammy.”
    Everyone knows Tammy, even all the teachers do. She’s just that popular.
    It was home time so soon I hardly realised it. Tammy’s still not talking to me, not like I care.
    When we got home mum wasn’t there. I looked at Tammy we panicked, that’s when she spoke to me again. “Let’s look around she has to be here somewhere.”
    Our mum was white but had black hair with blue eyes she was a normal mum and we both loved her very much. We heard the door open; it was just mum with a plastic bag filled with food.
    “Hi girls.” Said mum “Just went to the supermarket, you weren’t worried were you girls eh?”
    “No we’re big girls aren’t we Allie.” Replied Tammy.
    I know Tammy was worried but she acted as if she hadn’t a care in the world if mum was home or not.
    “Yeah mum we were alright.” I lied.
    Mum had 4 shopping bags 2 at each hand me and Tammy looked at each other. There was plenty of food in the fridge why would mum need to buy more. We looked at the plastic bags, mum caught our gaze.
    “Oh this, well girls I thought we could have a party.”
    A party I thought there was nothing to celebrate, me and Tammy’s birthdays are months away.
    “Mum, a party for what?” Tammy wanted to know.
    “Girls, I have good news. Especially for you Allie.”Mum answered. “Allie, your fathers come in contact with me and coming for a visit.”
    “What.” I shouted turning beetroot red “The same father that abandoned you when you was pregnant with me.”
    “Darling he’s changed he’s said he wants to come meet you he said he’s always thought about and he said he missed me ever so much.”
    Tammy had a shocked expression on her face she looked like she wanted to cry but no tears came down. “Allie.” Tammy said “If it was me, and my father wanted to see me I wouldn’t waste a second, you’re lucky your dads even alive.”
    I looked at Tammy, my sister whom I loved very much. I looked at my mum whom I also loved very much, they were both older and wiser if they thought this was the right thing to do.
    “I guess, I could meet him he’s my dad after all.”
    Mum went to hug me and Tammy gave me a nod. It was going to be alright.
    “So mum about this party, what’s it for?” I wanted to know.
    “Your dad coming back of course we need a great big party for his coming back.”
    “Oh okay mum.”
    She shrieked. “I’m so excited I had loved him very much and I was so upset when he had left, he was like my first teenage crush.”
    “What you guys used to go to the same school?.”
    “Yeah we did, he used to chase all the girls, but I’m the one he picked eventually it’s so sad that we never got married.”
    “Yeah mum.”
    “Mrs Luanne Brown.”
    Brown was my father’s last name. Then it hit me Lenny Brown is Tammy’s boyfriend there might be a relation but then again Brown is a common last name. I chose not to tell my mum this, it might complicate things.
    “Yeah mum instead of Miss Luanne Cooper.”
    “Oh I’ve always hated my last name.”
    We both sighed.
    “So when’s the party mum.”
    “Next week when your father comes.”
    “He’s coming next week?”
    “Yeah the sooner the better.”
    I mouthed “Oh Kay.” And left it at that. Mums a hopeless romantic sometimes.
    Tammy was in her room listening to her pink iPod shuffle. She saw me walk in. “Mrs Luanne Brown eh.”
    “Yeah.” I replied “She said she loved my dad and was her first teenage crush.”
    “Yeah, what about my dad eh, he’s not the one who left her; he’s the one who’s dead.”
    “Look Tammy I would rather you dad alive then mine any day, but this is the way it is.”
    Tammy didn’t reply but I knew she was alright for now anyways.
    I went on her laptop, I didn’t have to ask her she always let me but this wasn’t one of these days.
    “Hey can’t you ask?” Tammy wanted to know.
    I Blinked at her.
    “Can’t you ask I said?” She repeated but with a sharp tone.
    “Oh Kay can I go on your laptop Tammy?”
    “No you can’t now get out of my room.” She ordered.
    “You’re not the boss of me.” But I left all the same. I got scared of Tammy when she was in that mood.
    So I went into mum’s room and borrowed her laptop. I logged onto my msn I only had Chloe on my whole msn but Tammy promised she would help me add people after I had gotten their msn’s I don’t see that happening anytime soon. It was good that she was online phew.
    I sent the first message to her:

    a: hi chloe
    c: hi allie
    a: grr I had a fight with tammy
    c: why
    a: because she’s a dog
    c: what
    a: your lucky you’re the only child
    c: I wish I wasn’t
    (3 minute pause)
    a: guess what my dad’s coming back
    c: I thought you didn’t have one.
    a: I found out I do
    c: Cool
    a: and were having a party and your invited
    c: wow thanks anyway got to go bye

    She signed off without letting me say bye. Now I’ve got no 1 to talk to. Great.
    Mum called us both down for dinner we had cheap warm up disgusting macaroni and cheese. Great .
    “I isn’t eating this garbage mum, I’m going down McDonalds.”
    “Alright honey.”
    Mum was in such a good mood I don’t think she was bothered. Good news for Tammy.
    “And mum I’ve gotten myself a boyfriend.”
    “Okay sweetie don’t stay too late.”
    So she just went oh I wish I could go with her. Mum must have been so tired with all the shopping she couldn’t even had been bothered to cook. I was very hungry so I managed to digest the slimy pasta on my plate. Mum hardly ate any of hers either. I went to bed earlier on the account there was nothing on TV and nothing to do. I had a nightmare. My dad had came but he was horrible, he had hit mum and Tammy and almost hit me too. He was big and tough and made us starve and cook and clean for him he was like the evil step mother and ugly step sisters all in one, while we were the Cinderella’s. He was a very ugly man 7 ft tall and very muscular. We all feared him and we dreaded the day we had ever let him in our home. The worst part was Tammy and Mum both blamed me.
    “Ahhhh!” I woke up screaming, panting and sweating no 1 came into my room I checked the time it was 3:00am it was a Saturday, I woke up anyway too anxious to go back to sleep. I was a bit hungry so I went downstairs and had some of the left over macaroni and cheese. It tasted worse when left over night I had to drink water just to swallow it. I walked back up to my bed heavily so whoever was upstairs could hear but again no1 came. I sighed aloud sigh, I walked towards Tammy’s bedroom to check if she was there. She wasn’t.
    “Taammyyy?” I whispered cautiously. I searched her clothes in case she had ran away, she’s never run away before but there’s a first time for everything I guess. All her clothes were still there and she had left her iPod shuffle so I don’t think she’s gone for good. Just then I heard the door close and light feet go up the stairs. Then the room door open.
    “huh.” It was Tammy. “Allie, what are you doing in my ROOM!” Tammy wanted to know.
    “The question is Tammy dear where the hell was you its 4:00 am in the morning.” I answered.
    “If you must know I was with Lenny, and no we didn’t do anything we shouldn’t have.”
    How I had hated Lenny Brown From that moment.
    “I’m going to tell mum.”
    “Tell her then.”
    I’d never ever snitched of Tammy in my whole life, even the most horrible things she’s done I have never and I wouldn’t start now and Tammy knew it.
    Tammy folded her arms waiting. I lowered my head down, even though I couldn’t see I could image Tammy with a smug smile on her face. I left her bedroom and went into mine, got into my bed and fell into a long deep sleep.

    Mum woke us up really chirpy and told us to get dressed because we were going shopping.
    “Come on girls we haven’t had a real treat for ages.”
    “But Mum.” I argued I don’t want to go shopping.”
    “Come on now, I know there has to be a new pair of shoes you would love how about those Nike Air ones eh.”
    Those Nike Air ones oh do I so want them, I was told those were the best shoes for running.
