Roseline life never got any better,her stepsister hated her the more and made her life unbearable.Days turned into weeks and weeks into months still nothing changed,it only grew worse.Her step mother stopped her from going to places ,she stayed all day doing chores upon chores at home
"heyy scholarship girl,where will you love to study"Mira asked dramatically
"cambridge"she replied herself
"can you do that now?"Mira asked as she bursts into laughter
"even the universe is,against you my dear sister..wont be surprised if you take your own life like your mum cos that's what losers like do .Now get this cleaned and bring it to my room dear maid"Mira said as,she dumped the clothes on her
"but I've done your laundry before"Roseline said and ended up receiving a slap
"haven't I warned you not to talk back at me ?...looks like your mum did not teach you that .Dont really blame losers like her,they end up producing people like you"Mira said with a smile and left
...
"Are you done with the chores?"her stepmother asked as she saw Roseline climb down the stairs
"Yes mam"
"the pool"
"but I'm not allowed to go there"
"Are you talking back at me?"Her step mother asked
"no mam but why the pool all of a sudden"Roseline asked
she was stopped from going to the pool after the day she almost got drowned.Six year old Roseline went to the pool ,she could remember seeing her dad going there countless of times to have fun with his friends and she would just sit and watch them swim and play the pool ball.She has always wanted to learn how to swim like her dad and his friends but her dad always tells her he will teach her when she's ten.One day she decided to learn on her own and almost got herself drowned and since then her parents stopped her from going there and always lock the gates to the pool
"it is dirty and needs to be cleaned up"
"how?..but Mira and her friends just went there few hours ago and I saw them cleaning it up "Roseline quickly said
"papers were littered there so you need to go clean it up and stop asking me much questions"
"but ma..."
"get going or you will end up sleeping in your dad's dirty wayhouse"Her stepmother threatened her.Not having any choice Roseline left to do as she was told
...
"I know it was your doing"Roseline said to Mira as she entered
"so...what are you going to do,beat me?"Mira asked
"what did I do to deserve this Ill treatment you and your mother gives to me"Roseline asked
"u did alot and when I wanted to overlook them and be a good stepsister to you ,you passed thr entrance exam and ended up having a scholarship and what did I get for being kind to you?..nothing but failure"Mira said with anger in her voice
"its not my fault you are dumb"Roseline said without thinking and ended up receiving a heavy slap from Mira
"look Mira I've received enough from someone that's my age.Have you ever thought of who your real father is?cos I bet it's not my dad"Roseline said eith anger,she taken way too much from the fool infornt of her and it was time to speak up and take what belongs to her and put everyone in their place
"Are you trying to call me a bastard?"Mira,asked in anger
"did you hear me call you that?..I only said you should go ask your mother who your real father is and leave my goddam house and family alone you dummy"Roseline said angering her the more,she was happy that her words had effect on her and continued taking
"Look, Mira or what ever you call yourself I promise you that this won't end here,you guys wont tie me down here for long and when I happen to leave here then you all will pay starting from your so called prostitute mother down to you"Roseline said remembering the things she recently wrote down that she would do to them
"threaten much?"
"its not a threat dummy,its a fact and you think what your mother did to my results will move me that much ?.She did it because she knew her dummy daughter cant and wont stand a chance to beat me even if you were given a,second opportunity"Roseline said and when Mira wanted to slap her she held her hands and then Mira the unthinkable, she pushed Roseline inside the pool
"this will serve you as a lesson, come out when you feel like"Mira said and wanted to leave when she heard Roseline say she cant swim and need help
"stop playing around and come out when you feel like"Mira said and left leaving Roseline in the pool
