Chapter 19

Sun
That ungrateful, insensitive, stupid, idiotic boy! I'll just let him see, then he'll be begging on his knees for me. I can't believe he preferred that dolly-molly over me, his twin. I can't wait for that moment, but I won't forgive him that easily. He deserves whatever comes to him. Yeah, that's right.
"Sun, come down here. We need to go to work," someone from downstairs said. I don't know who, but I went downstairs anyway. I walked out, not looking at anyone. Why should I? They all took Mo.. I mean his side. After a long day of work, I put down the money in our box. I was going upstairs, then I stopped. I returned to the money box. I saw the money was less than before, someone stole from our money. I know nobody would take that much money to buy us a meal. Now, that I'm the only one here, they're gonna blame it on me! Even though I can easily argue myself out, this isn't the best time. I ran to dad's work. I'm fast, wow. I don't run a lot, so I never noticed. Focus Sun! I got there in about 7 minutes.
"What's the matter Sun?" Dad asked concerned.
"Our... Money... Box... Was... Stolen... From," I said panting.
"Get back to work! And you, buy something or get outta here!" shouted a man. He was talking to us.
"Hey! You shut up, or I'll make you!" I shouted back.
"Sun, this is my boss, don't let him fire me. If he asks you if you know me say no," Dad whispered.
"Why you little," said the man as he ran toward me. I was running to him, but dad pulled me back and told me to go home. I went home, just because we need more money to make up for our loss. When I got there, Danny and Miral were already home. Miral came beside me and dragged me.
"Hey, let me go, you idiot!" I yelled at her. She ignored me. So I pulled myself free. "What's the matter with you?"
"Do you know who stole from our money box?" she asked. Danny joined her.
"Are you accusing me of stealing?" I asked.
"We asked you a question," said Danny.
"No, I don't," I said.
"Are you sure?" Danny asked.
"Oh, so you think I'm a liar, don't you?" I asked.
"We asked a question," Miral said.
"Well, so did I," I replied.
"You irritate me! We know you have something to do with this. So are you gonna tell the truth, or live to regret it?" Danny said. I looked at Miral, who was as puzzled as I am.
"How do I know you didn't have anything to do with this?" I asked.
"Because we have proof," Danny said.
"Oh, do you?" I said. Danny went to grab the money box. I looked at Miral again, she shrugged in a meaningful way.
"How do you explain this piece of hair?" Danny asked. It was blonde hair, just a teeny piece.
"First of all, if that was my hair, how do you know I didn't just put money in the jar? Second of all, have you considered the fact that almost all of us are blondes?" I was on fire.
"Okay Danny, this is going nowhere. Sun is innocent, she didn't do it. Just because, she is sometimes.. you know, doesn't mean she would do something like this," Miral said. Danny and I looked very confused.
"What did she do to you? Did she threaten you?" Danny asked.
"No, I didn't. Why would I? I am capable of doing things for myself! And why should I be explaining to you? Figure out your problems, then come accusing people," I said. I went upstairs. I took a nap, I was really tired from work. When I woke up, I heard screaming and yelling from all the way downstairs. I went to see what was going on.
"Quiet!" I yelled really loud. They settled down. "What is going on here?"
"Sit down all of you," Dad commanded. We sat down. "I know there has a problem because our money is gone. I don't want anybody pointing fingers. We should trust each other. If you are the person who did it, then come to me at a private time. Have I made myself clear?"
"Crystal," we all said.
"Thank you, and Sun, thanks for calming us down," Dad said. I nodded. I went to my room again. I heard a knock.
"Don't come in," I said.
"Haha, very funny," said Sam. She entered.
"One step closer and it'll be your last," I said. She sat down.
"What's up?" she asked.
"Nothing," I said.
"Cool, sounds interesting,"
"Sure is,"
"Sun,..."
"No!"
"Please,"
"I didn't do it. I can't believe you think I did it!"
"I know you didn't,"
"Huh?"
"I know what happened,"
"Then why are you here?"
"I thought, since Danny thinks it you, that I should tell you,"
"But I thought you didn't like me,"
"We're sisters, we always fight, but that doesn't mean I don't like you,"
"But you never fight with Miral, or her,"
"Because they are the goody kind. You are the tough kind. It's your thing,"
"What book did you read now?"
"Something interesting,"
"What happened then?"
