Claudia‘s story. Her parent always quarrelled. Claudia thought the argument were not serious, as they would normally together after every argument. After school, Claudia came home and found that all of dad’s thing gone
CLAUDIA: What’s going on?
MUM : It’s that your father and I aren’t getting together for the moment, so he’s going to Granny house while we claim down
Dad come back occasionally for tea, but that led to more argument. Late one night the phone rang. Mum found out a women name Linda and infuriated. Even granny is angry with Dad. Seldom came home anymore but he would call up Claudia. When Mum picked up the phone, she would hold the phone silently and Claudia knew it was dad called.
Dad: Hello
Claudia: Hello
Dad: Want to come over on Saturday.
Claudia: If you like
Dad: No. If you’d like
Claudia: All right then Mum is busy doing other thing and pretended not to hear the conversation .Claudia was not keen to visit Dad. One day while Claudia was eating pizza with mum, she remembered how dad used to pick out the mushroom from his pizza and gave them to her. She started to cry as she missed dad so much.
Mum: Oh, please don’t start I can’t bear it Claudia threw her pizza away as she was disappointed. She ran up to her room and locked herself in the room. Claudia was crying in her room and mum cry outside. It was the first time Claudia have separate Christmas with mum on Christmas day. And went to granny‘s house on boxing day. It was that night. Claudia met Stella for the first time. Claudia found Stella to plain and mousy looking. Claudia thought mum was better-looking. Stella came over, smiled, friendly and said hello to Claudia. She asked Claudia how was her Christmas
Dad: Were you going anywhere special? Come for a walk with us Claudia then realized that dad had fixed the meeting up. She felt annoyed and dad not say much. Stella kept on asking question and Claudia just answered Yes and No. Eventually, Stella gave up. She stopped asking question. Claudia rudely told her goodbye. Dad poked Claudia to remind her of her manners. Claudia poked him back and muttered under her breath
Dad: What did you said (angry voice)
Stella felt uncomfortable and quickly walked off. Claudia was angry with dad. She did not say anything to him at all. Claudia angrily went up to her room. Granny was upset that dad took Claudia to meet Stella. She told him to look for another place to stay .Claudia hated it when her parent kept saying Your father…., Her mother…or Your daughter.
Claudia: As if just because we’re all separated, we don’t even remember each other names. Next day, dad move to Stella house. Mum and Claudia were shocked to find dad had moved in with Stella. Mum rarely spoke to dad again. Whenever Claudia went to visit dad Stella would keep herself busy. Stella joined Claudia and dad only during mealtime.
Stella: How’s everything at school?
Claudia: fine
Stella: Who’s your best friend?
Claudia: Shreela but I don’t get to see her so much anymore, now that I have to come here
The whole time Claudia behaved rudely to Stella and never looked at her. Each time Claudia returned home from Stella house, mum asked the same question .One day; mum took granny for a doctor’s appointment and dropped Claudia off at Stella’s house. Dad was surprised to see Claudia. Dad and Stella were having a dinner party, so Claudia helped them in the kitchen for a while. Then Claudia went to do her homework. Later, Stella came in and started cleaning the room. Claudia watched Stella setting the table for seven

Stella: Don’t forget yourself.
Claudia: but you weren’t expecting me.
Stella: No.But bow you’re here the more the fun.
Claudia: I think I’d prefer to be in my room
