The Kids Don’t Know What They Don’t Know
Chapter 3
Meet…….Duncan?
“DUNCAN?!?!” My mom and I yell. I look past my *shudder* Dad and see his Junk-Truck. “So Dad, Still driving that crap of a truck?” I ask. I ব্যক্ত dad the way I would say vomit অথবা my brother’s gym shorts. “Evelyn!” My mom said. I went into Dominic’s room and I started shouting my head off. “Are আপনি incredibly heartless, stupid, অথবা are আপনি so misguided that আপনি think bringing Duncan here would be ok? আপনি know I hate him! He abandoned us!” He উত্তর দ্বারা saying, “He abandoned আপনি and Gw- Mom. Not me. He obviously hates আপনি and loves me! He wants a boy not a stupid girl” He barked. I felt tears well up in my eyes. I went to mom and Duncan. I said, “Mom, I’m sorry. And Dad……… I guess. But I still wont visit আপনি and Courtney.” He scooped me in a hug and said, “That’s my little girl.” But when he ব্যক্ত “little” It made me mad-ish. Dominic came out and ব্যক্ত he was sorry for calling me stupid. For once we were almost a family. But, of corse, Miss Better-Than-Thou came up and yelled in Dad’s face. Courtney was wearing a fancy gray T-shirt (yes I ব্যক্ত fancy) and white pants, dispite the late summer heat.
“Duncan what are আপনি doing here?” Courtney demanded. Like she didn’t know I was Duncan’s kid. But the least she could do is acknowledge us, her step-kids. “Well Miss Uber-Uptight Chick, I was visiting my kids.” Duncan said. I smiled at my Dad’s বিবরণ of Courtney. “Well Mr. Too-Cool-For-My-Wife, I have been at প্রথমপাতা thinking ‘Where, oh where, has my husband gone?’!” Courtney yelled. I smiled and ব্যক্ত “Why is this entertaining?” My mom looked like she thought what I ব্যক্ত was funny, but didn’t প্রদর্শনী it. “Duncan, Courtney, please stop fighting.” Mom said. Dominic and I went into the TV room. “Real Deal?” I asked. That’s our পছন্দ channel. He nodded, and the parents went in were we were. I turned on the TV and three words sputtered out: “Total. Drama. Island!” All of the adults whipped their heads around and yelled “TURN IT OFF RIGHT NOW!” I felt tears well up in my eyes for the সেকেন্ড time that day, and pressed the power button.
Duncan and Courtney went home. Mom sat me and Dominic down and ব্যক্ত “I know that it has been a while since আপনি have had to go to school together but your argument makes me and Duncan realize something. আপনি two need to know what it’s like to be twins, not enemies, so আপনি will go to Halianor Middle School. Together.” I was psyched because I didn’t have to move, and I would be going to school with my brother! I was stoked! I called LaShequa, then Genn. Her dad ব্যক্ত we would throw a “reunion party”. He ব্যক্ত mom would understand. She did. This is how it went:
Me: “Hey Mom, Mr. Geoff ব্যক্ত we could have a reunion party. He ব্যক্ত আপনি would know what he meant.
Mom: (looks like she will blow up) “GEOFF!”
Me: “Ok then”
See what I mean? My mom has a secret.
What is the secret? Well আপনি know, but Elle doesn’t!
