Open Question: My dad’s girlfriend and 2 kids are moving in with us.?
My dad’s girlfriend and her two kids are moving half way across the country to live with us. My dad met her online but he has went to her house twice for about a week at a time and she came to our house for about 3 weeks.
I have pretty bad social anxiety to the point where I feel sick if I am in a really crowded area with lots of people. It’s not easy for me to meet new people or even be around people in general except my dad and a few close friends that I have known for a long time.
When she came here I didn’t really talk to her at all and for the most part just stayed in my room. They were often going out and doing stuff and invited me to go a few times but I didn’t.
When she left my dad got a little disappointed because he wanted me to become friends with her and he thought I was being rude.
Now in September they are moving in here, I’m 16 and her kids are 5 and 8. I really am not looking forward to this. I know they are young and they are probably looking forward to having a new brother but I really really will not make a good brother, nor do I really want to try.
I don’t plan on being a jerk to them, I don’t really plan on talking to them much at all, I just really don’t want anyone new in my life right now. I’m happy for my dad and everything but I don’t think I can act how he wants me to act.
He says I just need to “snap out of it” as if social anxiety is something I choose to have, but it’s just not that simple.
I know this is really really going to hurt the relationship between me and my dad and we are fairly close. What should I do?
Open Question: What do you think of my writting? please rate!?
first section of 1st chapter. im 12. rate 1-20. it might cut of the end, but she is choosen 2 be a dragon rider if it is cut off.
No. This is not happening. It has to be a nightmare. The queasy feeling in my chest was rising. No way. I don’t want this; I didn’t choose this. Wake up Tina. Now! The crowd of family and friends that were circling around me widened. This was happening. No, I only thought he said my name. Every one around me, all the people I ever loved were giving me dirty, ashamed looks. My stomach heaved, and I had to swallow down vomit. Even my own mother hated me now. I was a disgrace: an embarrassment. I destroyed my family’s honor. And yet, this morning I didn’t even know about it. My brother, Hatim, looked so hurt. I felt tears rising, my stomach heaving. Hatim was supposed to be the one, not me. Not his little sister, innocent Tina. After the few first shockwaves of silence, the crowd started murmuring. Why did the God of All Creatures choose me. This was a mistake. One minute I was prideful Tina Znivka, the next I put even my neighbors to shame; just because they knew me.
“Tina Maurine Znivka,” the dumbstruck Holy Man repeated. My stomach lurched. I had seen many ceremonies before. When your name was called, if your name was ever called, then you had to walk up to the platform. If you were a man, this would be the highest honor you could hope for, but there had never been a woman. Out of thousands of men, they choose me. I wasn’t even a women, just a helpless 17 year old girl. I tried to move my feet but they wouldn’t budge. “Tina Maurine Znivka, please come here,” the Holy man said in monotone. I finally remembered how to walk and tried to make my way to the platform. Breaking the crowd proved to be difficult, everybody was elbowing and pushing. The expressions on everyone face varied, but none were good – outraged, confused, embarrassed, jealous, hatred, ashamed.
I was in silent tears by the time I got to the platform. It seemed like ages since I had seen anyone give me a smile or even some sort of friendly gesture. I was a weak, pathetic girl. This is not how this worked; The God of All Creatures had made a huge mistake. I tried to imagine myself surrounded by a group of huge, strong men. Training with those men. My stomach was as tight as a ball, it hurt to move.
“Um… Come here Tina,” ordered the Holy Man. I walked over the man, thousands of people glaring at me. He handed me a huge white egg. An oval, reptile egg. My stomach heaved again. “That is all, go home,” the Holy Man ordered the crowd. I closed my eyes. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 25 minutes, 30 minutes. And finally 38 minutes later I opened them. Only a few people were left, mostly children who where running around whispering. A look of stunned, confusion swarmed on the Holy Man’s face.
“Why me?” I wailed, finally breaking into sobs. I slumped down on the ground and put the 10 pound egg in my lap. The few people left turned to look at me before going.
“The God of All Creatures thought you best,” the Holy Man said, like it was that simple.
“This was supposed to be my brother. My dad. My Uncle. An neighbor! I don’t care who it is! I just don’t want it to be me!” I sobbed.
“I’m afraid you don’t have a choice, young one. Go on home.”
“My family wont let me. The make me sleep outside in the dirt.” I wailed, burying my face in my hands.
“I don’t think they will. Go home, see,” the Holy Man advised. I stood up. It was at least an hours walk home, a frail girl like me, carrying a ten pound egg was bound to take twice the time though. I just got up and walked off the platform, heading north. I couldn’t believe what just happened; I couldn’t believe I just put all of Poetovio to shame, I, a little girl, just disgraced 5,000 miles of people; I couldn’t believe what was going to become of me. On second thought, I have no idea what was to become of me. An hour ago, I knew my future, I knew my life. I was going to marry, have kids and grow old. A simple plan. One thing, one thing, just changed my life forever. Making everything I was familiar with a jumbled mess. All because of this egg.
For hours I reviewed everything that happened – looking for some kind of loophole, some kind of mistake they made so I wouldn’t have to go through with this. I never even asked for it. I slowly walked home, it was dark by know. I think I had wished somebody would come steal the egg away, to break it, to kill it. I almost didn’t see my home right in front of me. Or at least what was once my home. I simply walked into the door, to find my mother crying in my father’s lap.
“Get out of this house,” my father said quietly. “You’re not wanted.”
“Please, I don’t want it!” I begged.
“Get out of this house,” he repeated a bit more loudly. I stammered to speak.
“Get out of this house, now!” he yelled.
“A blanket, clothes?” I managed to squeak out in between his y
