The Home That Ranked Me Below Ten Pets, I Don't Want It

The day my sister's ten pets each got their own private air conditioner, I thought my turn had finally come.

But the new unit installed today got hooked up to Amelia Fox's figurine cabinet instead.

In a hundred and four degrees, I broke.

"I bought that air conditioner with money I earned working!"

Mom couldn't have cared less.

"Mia's figurines can't take the heat. You wait for the next one."

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I curled up beside the figurine cabinet.

Half of me freezing, half of me burning, but at least it was cool.

Dad, though, got worked up and told me to get out.
