Maria&Her Siblings 4: Bad Prejudice

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Let me go!" Maria shouted as two figures grabbed her. They dragged Maria to a brightly lit room. There, her sister, Isa(Maria usually calls Isabella Bella or Isa, but Isabella usually likes to be called by her full name.)was tied on a chair with her mouth tied too. "Let her go!" Maria cried. But, instead of listening to her, they walked over to a man...wait, a boy dressed in all black like the two figures. "Listen up. I don't have time to listen to your crying. Now, the reason I brought you here is..."

  "Maria!!" Maria woke up from her nightmare. "Wha..What?" she was sitting in school with her monster teacher staring from the front of the class room. "I told you to calculate 20392934209834278434234÷482938598203." the teacher repeted again. Maria was in math class. Maria fumbled over the numbers until she had the right answer, but the problem was that it takes her an awfully long time to do that. Math was hard for Maria. Math was just, you know, hard. And, her teacher, Mrs. B(Her name is Mrs. Bench, but Maria secretly named her Mrs. Bomb,)always picked on Maria. She thought that if Mrs. B was Mr. B, he would be less bad than Mrs. B because mans are always less sharp than womans. Her first day in Math class was terrible. Her test score was 26, and she accidently threw up on Mrs. B.(Maria said it was because of her allergy of bad teachers, but as you may guess, nobody believed her.) From that day on, (or just Maria thought,) Mrs. B always picked the hardest questions for Maria. And, today was not so different.

  Usually, Maria would just be ready for that question because she had already guessed that Mrs. B would ask her. But, today was different. She had barely slept because of the snore of Ava, who had won the finally race, and who was very tired from running all day. Mother had let Maria go to school today because the doctor visted yesterday and he said she could go to school. But, the news sounded different when she heard yesterday;full of health and tired of lying all day, and today;lack of sleep and wishing for a good sleep. Maria had begged her mother to let her stay at home, but mother firmly said "NO."

  "Maria, you are taking forever to answer this just one easy question." Mrs. B's words brought back her from daydreaming again. "Um..what?" Maria asked. Mrs. B sighed. Then, she clapped her hands and said, "Venda, over there. Yes, you. You can solve this question for Maria." Maria flushed as all the children in the class looked at Maria and then at Venda. Poor Venda was stumbling over this long question, and a lot of attention made it worse. Some kids even whisphered, "Hu! Girls stink at Math, boys are much better." Maria scowled at this unfriendly words. Venda set right behind Maria. She was very tall with a very long pony tail. She was always bright and always smiled. But Maria noticed that Venda was turning pale and green. Before Maria could move out of the way, Venda threw off, right on Maria.

  "Eech!" a girl scrambled right past Maria, rincling her face with disgust. Maria didn't blame her. She did look awful in all soaked clothes and vomit still hanging in her hair, and most of all, her face. Her face was a mess! Maria had wiped most of the vomit, but some of it was still stuck to her face. An hour ago, Venda had vomited on Maria. It took her ages to go to the bathroom with other person's vomit on her, but she did manage it. she want in to the washroom area, took off her shoes, and washed it hard. Thanks to Venda's perants(who is the principal of the school,)they had all forbidden the 3th floor bathroom, where Maria could wash her shoes. After that, she tried to wash her hair and her face, but it was almost impossible. The basin was very small. And, what was the worst is that the faucet is very low. She had bumped her head three time to wash her hair. After 6 more tries, she gave up.

  As soon as school ended, Maria ran to her house. She burst open the door and ran inside. She ran up to the bathroom and opened the door to see Jack brushing his teeth lazily. "Jack! Get out of my way!" she yelled. Jack turned his head slowly and blinked 3 times after finally recongnizing her sister with all that vomit. "AHHHH!!!" Jack shouted. The only thing that Jack hated was dirty things, especially vomit. "YOU SEE HOW I FEEL NOW, SO GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!" Maria bellowed at her trumbling brother. "Ah ent vicos ou ar vloking de dor!" "What?" Jack took out his toothbrush and said again in a more clear voice. "I can't because you are blocking the door!" Maria glared at her brother. He was a boy not a girl, so he should be more brave than some silly girl like her.

  "Out of the way or you'll taste vomit." Maria treatened. Jack looked carelessly at the vomit and than stepped aside. Maria rushed in, pushed Jack out of the bathroom, and locked the door. As Maria took off her clothes, she could hear her angry brother complaining about his 'vomited' T-shirt. Maria just ignored the unpleasent sound and began to wash her body, muttering, "If Ava was a boy and Jack was a girl, the world would make more sense."

  After the long bath, witch Maria said was too short, Maria walked out to see her brother missing. She went up the stairs and saw Jack lying on his bed. Maria looked at the clock to see '8:12PM' staring like a hangman who was about to hang her. Maria paicked, but she calmed herself and tip-toed into the room. Jack's room was tidy compared that he was a boy, but nobody said anything about Jack being tidy. She looked at Jack's desk. Unlike her's, his desk was tidy and clean. Only a diary lied on the desk. Maria looked at the diary.

  It said, "2019/01/01 Title: If I am a girl..." Maria blicked at this unexpected title, but read on. "I always thought that if I am a girl, everything will be more easy, but today's experience made this feeling stronger than ever." Maria gulped. She was very nervous, but fasinated to read more, but the fasinated feeling won and she read more. "Today, Tom Edicin, who is my class's idol, picked on me for being too tidy and clean. When we cleaned the classroom after school, I cleaned my part like I am cleaning my desk. Tom saw me cleaning my part, and he scwoled and kicked my belly with his foot. Later, he apologized, but I think it's because of my teacher. Tom acts like a model student infront of the teachers, but he acts like himself when the adults aren't looking. I think my teacher barely believed me because she always praised Tom for being good-natured. He always picks on kids who are younger than him. But usually, he picks on boys who are like girls. I am the most girlish boy according to my classmates, so I became Tom's frequent victom. Nobody believes me except Clara, but when I talk to her, Tom always glares at me for nothing! I don't know what I am doing wrong. Many girls and boys talk to Clara, I think it's because she is the most prettiest girl in the school. Some times Clara and I...." "Maria! What are you doing in my room! And... Hey! that's my diary!!!" Maria jumped as Jack yelled at her. "HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Maria cried as Jack kicked her back. Maria ran out of the room, still holding the diary as Jack slammed his door with a loud "BANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!"
