(Anniebell came back from the entrance exam she went for.she met her mom and her younger sister setting their meal for lunch on the Dinning table)
Rose:(she sighted Annie)Hey! Darling! you are back(Adjusting some plates on the Dining)How was the exam?
Annie:(Talking tiredly)it went well.I believe I'd pass,so don't worry (Grining)
Cherry:(she drew one of the dining chair and sat down)well,l trust you would pass
Annie:(smiling)of course!You should trust your big sis,she would soon be a student of Diamond High School (she said boastfully)
Rose: Don't start boasting now,let's see your result first.Honey!!(shouting)Honey lunch is ready!
Robert:(shouting from the room he was) Just a minute,I'm coming to join you guys soon
Annie:Mom,I'm starving (she said rubbing her tommy,she took a plate and dished out her own meal,and drew the Dinning chair,she sat down and started eating immediately)
Rose:(Frowning)You can't even wait for your dad to join us?How many minute would it take you to wait for him(Almost yelling,Robert came out of the room rushing down from the stairs)
Robert:(He drew the dining chair and sat immediately)Sorry for keeping you guy's from eating on time(He looked at Annie who was already eating and Rose who was glaring at her,he faced Rose)Honey let her be(He drew a chair for her next to him)have your seat and let's start eating
Annie:Mom you know l didn't eat anything before leaving for the entrance exam.....
Rose:(cuts in)Just shut it,you've started eating already (she sat down and started dishing out the meal of Robert,Cherry and her own meal)
Robert:How was your entrance exam,hope it went well
Cherry: Dad she said it went well
Annie:Yeah that true(she paused)Infact dad why did you decide l should attend that school of all school's.The students there are spoilt brats and even rude to their teachers seriously,am not interested in attending that school because am afraid l heard there are a lot of bullies there (she used her both hands to cover her cheeks)Dad can't you decide another school to transfer me to?
Cherry:(laughs) Afraid?You Annie afraid of builies? Wow! I can't believe you just said that,when you are also a bully too,or have you forgotten?How you bully your mate's in your former school,lnfact they will be happy you left their school (she continued eating)
Annie:(Grining)Anyway,you can't compare my former school to this school,if you should see the students,OMG! they are so scary
Robert:The students there and how they look like is non of your business.What matters is you focusing on your school,and l want you to attend that school because it has a good standard.
Annie:What if l don't pass?l hope l won't pass!!
Rose:(smirks) I thought you were boastfully saying the other time"l believe l would pass and would soon become a student of Diamond High School"(mimicking Annie)and now you are badmouthing the school (she hissed and continued eating)
Annie:(stuttering)T..That...I was boasting about my knowledge because l know have never failed any exam l did
Robert:Even if you don't pass,you would keep doing it untill you pass.
Annie:But Dad!!(Almost yelling)
Robert:I think am done eating (He said and stood up)Honey,your meal was delicious as always (He said smiling at Rose)
Rose: Thanks Darling (she smiled)
Robert:I will be in the room (He left)
Rose:Hey,you(referring to Annie)When you are done lamenting clear this table and wash the dishes okey(she stood up and left)
Annie:But Mom! it should be cherry that should do the dishes!!Why me! she's the youngest(shouting)
Cherry:So you know am the youngest now.Yesterday who was doing all the house chores without complaining ,you just sat down there playing video game's,now you saying (mimicking her)"it should be cherry that should do dishes,why me!"(she stood up)Just do your job,Lazy Ass!! (yelling)
Annie:(Astounded)What....what?Are you referring to me?(she said yelling)
Cherry:(walking out)No! I'm referring to the person behind you(she left)
Annie:(Yelling)Gosh!Did she really call me a "Lazy Ass"? If l get hold of that spoilt brats she would regret speaking to me to that way.That Dolt!!

Chatting on your cellphone?So now will you get up and check who's at the door?!!(she said on top of her voice,Annie stood up reluctantly and went to the door,she came back with an envelope and just threw it on the glass table at the center of the living room and continued pressing her cellphone)
Rose:What that envelope?
Annie:(Focusing on her cellphone) I don't know,a lady gave it to me, l guess it a letter (she said rudely)
Rose:May the Lord help you,you can't even bother to check what in the envelope.I hope the school you are about to transfer to would teach a bitter lesson.Spoilt brat!(she said and sat on a couch)
Cherry:(Smiling with her arms folded)She thinks it like her former school.it would be fun to see Annie being bullied in her new school.Mom it gonna be fun(chuckles) I bet they wouldn't like Annie at all.And that because you are annoying,so annoying.
Annie:(she dropped her cellphone in annoyance) Cherry!! I'm warning you, don't get on my nerves,who told you they won't like me and they would bully me,who told you so!!
Cherry:(Folding her arms)Annie said so, didn't you say it yourself?That you are scared of them because they all bullies(she sat down)Mom feel sorry for Annie,our Annie is gonna be facing alot(Forming her face in a pitful way) Well,l pray you pass the entrance exam
