"Chloe! It's time for breakfast!"

Chloe quickly ended her call and went down to the kitchen in her PJS. She got there to see the woman she hated the most in her life: Amelia.

"What is she doing here dad?" she asked, referring to Amelia.

"Now Chloe, that's no way to treat your stepmother", Kyle said.

"Are you two married?" she retorted.

"Not yet."

"So as long as you two aren't married, she's not my stepmother."

Kyle sighed. This always happened whenever he brought Amelia over.

Amelia just sat there and watched them. She hated Chloe with every fiber of her being but had to keep up a good front when with her  father.

"Chloe," Kyle said, "if you can't get along with Amelia, then forget about breakfast today."

Chloe stared at him while Amelia smiled. Kyle thought that threatening her with food would make her behave since his daughter ate like a cow.

"Okay then", she said and left the kitchen.

Chloe
I got to school angry as ever. How dare my own father choose his girlfriend over me? Since dad started dating Amelia, nothing had been the same. He sided with her in everything without even hearing my side. The part that pained me to pieces was when she put on the act of a total sweetheart in his presence.

"Chloe!"

  That was what I heard when I slammed my locker shut. I didn't even need to turn around since I knew it was my friend, Kester. At times, I wondered why he's a boy and not a girl.

"Yes, Kester", I said.  

"Someone's in a bad mood."

I sighed. Kester knew everything about me and how my life had become a living hell.

"I'm sorry Kester. I didn't mean it."

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Just leave it. I'm not ready to talk now."

"Okay. Tell me when you're ready."

I nodded. By now, we had gotten to homeroom and I was blessed with the face of  Amelia's spawn, Carson. Well, he's not too bad but we just couldn't get along. Did I mention that my dad made me walk here and drove him? It's not a big deal but it hurt that he could do anything for Amelia at my expense. I was just waiting for him to kick me out for her as well.
