Suddenly, her door banged. Zella nearly fell out of the chair, jerking her hand. She turned back to see her brother Zad. Zad was laughing at her action.
"Zad how many times have I told you not to bang the door"
"Oh poor one, I forget that you are a little coward who is scared of everything" Zad said with a sarcastic grin. Zad loved his sister a lot, but they always fought alot more.
Zella yelled with sadness, "stop it Zad, you always insult me".
"What's going on kids?" Mr. Christi entered the room.
"Dad, Zad is mocking me."
Zad rolled his eyes and was staring at Zella.
Mr. Christi gave him a darted look and said "Zad, behave politely at your sister, she is older than you."
Zad shook his head and whispered "yes dad" and walked out of the room.
"My little angel, come here. Do you like this home?"
"Yes dad, I think it will be a nice place for me. But I feel lonely here."
But deep inside she is scared of something, and she started staring into the balcony and to the endless street.
Mr. Christi gave her a reassuring smile and left the room and before leaving he asked Zella to be in the dining hall by dinner time.
