“Arghh!”
The loud noise from the Dothad’s was heard as usual their neighbors sigh in frustration at the noise there is nothing they could do to stop the everyday disturbance coming from the building, the ‘two witches’ are at it again.
The Dothad family has two daughters and the two girls are nothing but enemies always looking to supersede each other in everything they are more like competitors than sister, when the two were growing as kids they had fought a lot of times but their parent thought they are just kids and never took importance to the competition between the girls until they got to high school and almost burn each other down because of a guy they both liked.
Selena is the oldest but she makes sure anything her younger sister wanted she always get it for herself which always get Shaina the youngest so mad that they always end up in a tug of war with each other and that evening is no different
The girls just in their final year at college came back from school yelling at each other, one time Selena had offended Shaina and in order to get revenge on her she had implicated her during their final exams to get into college, getting her paper cancelled and making her wait a year before writing another exam to get into college the same time Shaina was also taking her own exams and of course Selena had her revenge back on Shaina when she filled her college form and put in for a complete different course instead of the one Shaina really wanted to study.
Shaina rush in quickly and jam the door fast preventing Selena who is just behind her from coming into the house
“What did you think you doing you nitwit” Selena yelled at her from outside the door trying the knob to open the locked door
“Locking you out, pyscho” she replied back
“Shaina! Open this door before I break it down” she threatened and hit the door violently
“Sorry can’t hear you, I’m so hungry since someone poured my lunch on my shoes at school today” she yelled back at her
“Oh, so you are still mopping about that, come on Shaina you always get embarrassed by me you should get used to it now” she replied with jeering
Feeling raged remembering the lunch event, Shaina went inside the nearest bathroom and get a full bowl of foamy water she positioned it well and open the lock not pulling the door open, Selena heard the sound of the door being unlocked and not giving it much thought she open the door and wanted to step in but got hit by Shaina’s already prepared soapy water
“Arrgh!” she shrieks
“So sorry I didn’t see your ugly self-there” Shaina said sarcastically, mimicking Selena’s face expression
“You bastard!” she thundered and rush at Shaina aggressively, at first she was caught off guard but in a moment she regain herself and also retaliate back causing a big fight.
Mrs. Dothad sat down on the sofa while the two sisters kneel in front of her with their hands stretch up they stare hatefully at each other and even make to attack each other until their father came out of his room and sat down in front of them.
“So what in the world caused today’s fight?” he begin
“That doesn’t matter, they break all my art collection you know how much I spent to get those art works” she resorted angrily glaring at the two ladies in front of her
“They injured their faces too” he said observing their faces
“You fight and destruct things in the house what exactly is your problem?” he asked looking from Selena to Shaina
“Your precious daughter started it first, she poured hot food on my shoes during lunch today and damage my new shoes so I decided to ruin her dress too” Shaina explain impenitently
“Well am sure you must have annoyed her first” their mother affirmed and look crossly at her
“Exactly, your older sister wouldn’t do that unless you infuriate her” their father supported and Selena smiled Shaina look away from her not giving a care to her words, every time she fights with Selena this is always the outcome their parent blame her for not being patient and defend her sister in most cases even when Selena is caught red handed all she does is say sorry while she has to take punishments each time.
“yes mom, the shoe incident wasn’t intentional and I already apologize to her but she didn’t accept my apology rather she wanted me to give her the new top you brought for me last week and I told her nicely that I can’t since you brought it specially for me but she wouldn’t listen and insist I give her, when I refuse she decided to destruct the dress and then I got angry and couldn’t control myself….”
Mrs. Dothad stood up and drag Selena to stand while she pretend to catch her breath and pretending to want to shed tears
“Huff” Shaina look at the two in disgust not being unable to stand the hypocrite and injustice she also stood up and went up to her room ignoring her father yelling voice asking her to come back and her mother calling out her punishment.
“they are all so annoying” Shaina scoff as she enter her room and lock the door not wanting anyone badging in, she sat in front of the mirror to check her face for the injuries and her face is really messed up she open the drawer and bring out the first aid box to treat her wounds
“Everyone is being unfair” she murmured to herself
Selena is much more brilliant and maybe beautiful than her but that doesn’t make it okay for their parent to always get her the good things, every time stuffs is bring brought for the two of them
Selena always get to choose first and she always pick the beautiful ones leaving the others for her, even when they had a fight like now she always gets blame while Selena always go scot free, after all these years Shaina has reached one conclusion, their parents loves Selena and doesn’t love her.
Later in the evening they all gathered for dinner of crab meat and other side dishes, they all eat silently for a while until their father speak up getting the girls attention
“Are you girls okay now?” he asked looking up from his meal, Selena nodded to his question while Shaina just buried her face into her plate
“You are no longer babies who should be fighting all about, soon Selena will start work in the company and you Shaina will pursue your part...”
“Why don’t I get to work in the company?” Shaina asked with a raised brows
“Because Selena studies business at college and you did not” their mother answered
“Well that’s because your daughter change my form and fill in literature” she explained the already known fact to her parent
“Still you can’t work in the company, you don’t even have any knowledge about what business is” their father tried to convince her to see reasons with them
“You could teach me personally and even if I don’t get to run it I can work in some area and learn from there” she argued further
“Oh please Shaina you know you are not capable of learning that much, you brain is so slow that you could hardly do well in your studies how will you run the company? Just leave it to me to handle, only the best handles the best” Selena said whispering the last part.
Shaina stood up abruptly from her seat giving all a startle she look from the three in resentment before she speak
“And I wish the company get ruin under your leadership” she blurt out and walk away from the dining room.
