Tina looked up at her daughter, with a confused look.
"What’s this about, Angie?" she asked.
"Nothing, look, it was an accident, okay?" Angelica hurried to explain, "I’m sorry, Mel, I didn’t mean to make you stumble!"
She reached out a hand to pet her brother on the head.
"Bullshit!" Melvin pushed her hand away.
"Hey, watch your mouth, mister!" Tina scolded, glaring at him sternly.
"But mom, she did it on purpose and-" Melvin started.
"Ugh, c’mon, how old are you, Mel?" Angelica groaned, rolling her eyes, "Four and a half?! What’s the big deal, siblings tease each other, that’s the way it is, you need to grow up!"
Melvin opened his mouth to retort, but his mother spoke before he could:
"Look, you two, I don’t have the nerve for this, right now, but I agree with Angie: You are both old enough to handle this on your own."
"See?" Angelica looked at her brother, triumphantly. Melvin just glared at her, before storming angrily out of the room.
Tina sighed and looked up at Angelica.
"Do you always have to provoke him like that?" she asked.
Angelica felt the anger rising in her chest (why did she always have to protect him?), but decided to swallow it down to put her mother in a good mood.
"I’ll try and be nicer to him, I promise," she said, sitting down next to her mother on the sofa.
"Why’s momma B not home yet?" Angelica said next, in an attempt to start a casual conversation.
"She’s picking up your sister from swim class," Tina responded.
"Oh, right," Angelica said, nodding. "I’d forgotten Sarah had swim practice today…"
A short silence followed, in which Angelica gathered her courage.
"So, mom, I wanted to ask you somethin’…" she started hopefully.
Tina turned to her.
"Shoot."
"Okay, uhm…"Angelica said, hesitantly, "There’s this huge party tonight at Alex’s and I wondered whether I could go. It’s not for too long, really, and Alex promised he’d drive me home safely, afterwards. So, what’d you say?" she finished, smiling hopefully.
Tina had listened to her daughter carefully, watching her, eyebrows raised in a suspicion.
"I say, show me your homework first and we’ll talk about this party afterwards." she said.
Angelica’s smile faded. ‘Crap, busted!’, she thought.

You’ve been successful in describing teenage angst. They are so egocentric. Excellent beginning. You must be British or European b/c here in the U.S. we call it math w/o the extra “s”. This is not meant as a criticism just an observation. :-)
Cool story, I’m interested to see where this is going, even though I think Tina was a little harsh on Angelica. Just my opinion
Interesting start! Tina should make Angie sit downstairs where she can keep an eye on her while she works on her math homework. That makes it easier to ask for help when needed.
Great beginning. I’m curious as to why Angie isn’t into her boyfriend so much. Is she just trying to fit in or is there something more?
I feel for Angie but 100% behind Tina.Angie is lucky Bette wasn’t there too lol.Sometime parents have to be strict with young people because life is not that easy and if they haven’t got any education it is even more difficult. can’t wait for the next post. great beginning.
Very good, interesting first post. The most important thing in any teenaged girls(or boys)life is being accepted by peers. Definitely post again.
very good start, really enjoyed this first chapter
This is interesting start and like it. Please post more, thanks!
I feel sorry for Angie… Trying to fit in isn’t easy if you parents are ‘different’. I like your story xxx PPS
