My dad knocked on my door while I was sleeping, I woke up sluggishly and opened the door. He looked inside and smiled showing off his clean set of teeth. He walked to my bed "we are going for a picnic today, what do you think?. I looked at him surprised "picnic?. He replied "yes. My countenance suddenly changed "what about Annie, is she coming with us?. He squeezed his face bitterly "don't talk like that, when will you learn to love her and accept her as part of us. I walked to my wardrobe "I will never accept her, she is a fake and will always be. He shouted in anger "Darla!. I looked away "if you don't mind,I want to dress up. He sighed and left.
Few minutes later, we were ready for the picnic, when everything we needed was parked into the car, we drove off. I will say, we enjoyed our picnic even though Annie and I never got along all through. We returned home around 6pm, I went to my room and had my shower then came down for dinner. After dinner,my dad said "we have a family meeting right now. The word "family" pierced my fragile heart but I didn't show it. We settled down for the meeting, my dad began "I have called for this meeting because I want to solve some problems going on in this family. He continued staring at me "Darla, I have noticed since Annie became part of this family, you no longer accord us respect, why the sudden change of attitude. I looked From my dad to my mom and then to Annie "I don't like her. My mom stared at me in surprise "Darla!. My dad said "why don't you like her. I looked at Annie straight in the face "I don't like her because she is a fake, she can never be my sister and part of this family, dad please you have to take her back to wherever she belongs to. My mom replied with bitterness in her eyes "you don't have to say that, Annie has no one to call a family, we should be there for her and you too. I replied angrily standing up "Never! Annie can never be part of us and I will never see her as one, she remain a fake to me. I glared at her fiercely and left.
