我有个“可恶的”姐姐

This guy’s name is Mike, and he’d like to tell you a story about him and his step-sister. All of you probably know how hard the relationship between siblings can be. And it can be even worse when the two of you are born to different parents. So, this was his experience.

Mike’s father passed away a long time ago from a heart attack. His loss was terrible, both for Mike and of course for his mom. It felt like it was just the two of them alone in the whole world, so they promised to support each other whatever happened. And Mike did so when his mom decided to get married again.

Fortunately, his stepdad happened to be one of the nicest people he’d ever met. He’s been a wonderful friend to Mike since the very first moment they met each other. They shoot hoops almost every evening. He’s pretty supportive of Mike’s addiction to computers and programming, and even buys him new cool stuff for it every once in a while.

But there’s one huge problem – his daughter. Her name is Elizabeth, and she’s only a couple of months older than Mike, but she feels the need to remind him about it any chance she gets. “You have to listen to me since I'm older and more experienced,” Elizabeth constantly says.

And he can’t do anything about it because he doesn’t want to upset his mom, so he just has to accept his stepsister as she is. Elizabeth’s arrogance is aggravated by the fact that they go to the same school, where she happens to be literally the most popular girl there. And in comparison, Mike is a complete nobody. So she usually teases him or mocks him, or says something stupid about him to her cool friends.

Once, for example, she filled his locker with something green and gooey and when he opened it, all this slime just covered him, ruining his pants and making them wet and sticky. And the other day she made him a “sorry-sandwich” which turned to not be filled with tuna, but with dog food. Her latest prank made him feel that it was time to retaliate.
