the hated child

chapter twenty-two

Mistake and Ronald were standing in their dorm room. Both of them had gone back to their normal selves.

"Wow... That was extremely strange..." Mistake said.

"What was?"

"Why does Ms. Gacha suddenly want to know more about our relatives? We're an average family, we're nothing extraordinary."

"UMMMMM, TALK FOR YOURSELF! I'M SO EXTRAORDINARY! it's OBVI because she wants to know more about how I turned out so AMAZINGLY while you turned out like............... that..........." Ronald McDonald said.

"Perhaps she believes I was neglected as a child. What a silly notion! I was not neglected at ALL. In fact, quite the opposite. Barbara didn't ignore me, she simply disliked me."


"Mistake, stop trying to be quirky. I can't believe you're going through an emo phase at this age of 9 months."

"Pardon me, dear sister! I am quite definitely NOT emo. According to Google, emo stands for 'emotional hardcore,' and..." Mistake's voice turned into a 2005 scene kid's voice, "I don't have emotions." Mistake brushed her 2 strands of baby hair over her left eye and put on black eyeshadow and black lipstick.

Clicking was heard in the distance. Mistake and Ronald turned towards the living area to see Ebony, using a typewriter.

"Mistake, I've been curious about your family history for years. I don't believe that you're just a platypus... And I made a SHOCKING discovery."

"...What is it?" asked Mistake. She herself didn't know about her family, since she was so young when both of her parents left.

"Well..."

"Tell me!" Mistake screamed impatiently, then remembered she wasn't emo and therefore didn't have emotions. "I mean, tell me," she said neutrally.

"You don't have to know if it'll be too hard on you, I can already see how it's affecting you..."

"I. WOULD. LIKE. TO. KNOW. NOW!!!!!" screamed Mistake, not even trying to sound emotionless anymore.

"Well, If you're sure..." Ebony said...
