I crossed my legs on the couch and bit away at my nails as the rest of the house skipped around cheerily.
Well, maybe not "skipping". Maybe they were just.. well, walking. Walking very, very cheerily. Still. Same thing.
I narrowed my eyes despisingly as Chrissa hurried up to me.
"Sonnnnyyyyyyyyy, watch Glee with me!!" She whined.
"No!" I snapped.
Chrissa's smile faltered. "What's wrong, Sonny?.." She whimpered, and neared closer to shove me into a bearhug.
A frown pulled at the corners of my mouth. "Stop it, Chrissa." I pushed her away.
Chrissa's eyes watered.
Oh crap, I thought. Here come the waterworks.
Chrissa paused a moment. 3, 2, 1.. Boom. The tears started to stream freely down her face.
"You're NO fun, Sonny!" She cried loudly (too loudly, if I must say).
Kirsten rushed down the stairs to where Chrissa and I had been standing. She held up her skirt from the stairs as to not trip and said, "What is going on here!"
I opened my mouth to speak but Chrissa beat me to it.
"Sonny's being a bully. She's pushing and shoving and being grumpy." Chrissa folded her arms across her chest and slumped in her spot.
Kirsten then closed her eyes and sighed.
She turned to me.
"Sonny, is this true?" She breathed.
"No, it's--" I tried to defend myself.
"YES!" Chrissa interrupted.
I shot Chrissa a death glare. Sometimes she was R-E-A-L-L-Y annoying.
Kirsten huffed. "Sonali, I don't understand whats gotten into you. You're not the same. You're a complete grump ALL the time."
I winced. Deep down, I knew it was true.
"Quite frankly, it's enough.", Kirsten continued. "I think you need a vacation."
I raised my eyebrows and suddenly felt my heart jerk around in my chest. Was she going to send me to Bethie's?! That would make me SO much better!
Kirsten put a hand on my shoulder. "Sonny, I'm sending you to Annabeth's for a few days. Maybe being around a rolemodel will help you out." Kirsten smiled, as if she was doing me a favor.
ANNABETH'S?! I nearly ripped my hair out, then and there. It was going to be HELL! And it was all Chrissa's fault.
