Everything Goes Wrong

“Wait ‘till Daddy hears about this young ladies!”
“Mamma it wasn’t my fault!” I said.
“It was too! You ought a hear a few wise words I have to say to you coward! Why the hell did you chase me!” Miranda replied with frustration.
“Miranda Marie Smith you go to your room right now!” Mamma yelled at her while she was already making her way up the stairs.
“You too missy!!” Mamma yelled at me this time.
“What I didn’t do anything!!”
“Well apparently you did ‘cause Miranda is accusing you of chasing her! Now go to your room until I call Daddy and he comes home from work to punish you both. Then I will take you to school and you can explain to your principal what has happened.” Mamma said as she tried to calmed down.

I was in my room and picked up the phone and dialed Carter’s number. He didn’t answer. Just as I thought. He never answered his phone! I dialed again and this time he picked up.
“Hello, Henderson residents,” Carter said through the telephone.
“Carter it’s me Annabelle,” I replied in an anxious tone.
“Oh hey, so what happened?”
“I arrived home and Mamma was surprised to see us, then Miranda and I started yelling at each other and that’s when Mamma got it. She scolded us and Miranda blamed the whole thing on me and I said it wasn’t my fault. Miranda started swearing saying bad words and all and believe it or not Mamma yelled her full name, and then sent her to her room! That part I was happy about until she told me to go to my room too I disagreed and argued with her but she said she was gonna call Daddy and then the principal. What happened to you?”
“My Pop’s grounded me ‘till this Saturday and gave me a lecture.”
“That’s all?” I said sounding surprised.
“Yep. But more things happened to you ‘cause this situation actually was you and Miranda’s problem not mine. I just tried to stop the arguing.”
“Yeah I guess your right.”
“Miranda Marie and Annabelle Marie get down stairs this instant!” Papa screamed from the main floor.
“Carter I have to go. See you later. Thanks for everything.”
“Ok bye,”
And that’s when the phone clicked down onto the receiver and I dared take a foot out of my bedroom.
