"Hey, Naomi, you're not wearing this anymore, are you? It looks like it's a little small in your body now" Ashley asked as I was about to enter my room.
"Why did you take my things !? Ashley hurry out of my room!" I yelled and took the shirt from him and put it back in my closet, "You just got here ten minutes ago and you've touched something that's not yours."
"I was just looking through your clothes ..."
"I didn't give you permission to check my belongings so get out of my room and don't touch my stuff" I told him.
"Jeez Naomi, don't overdo it. I just looked at it and didn't take anything" he said backwards.
"Every time you come here for sure, my stuff is missing and I swear Ashley, if you take something from my room this time, I'll complain to your dad and I'll strangle you. I'm not kidding, don't mess with my stuff."
"You said it all went out like I was a thief or something" Ashley chuckled, sitting at the dresser.
"You are a thief, if you keep taking my things without me giving them to you ... Oi! What I just said, don't touch my stuff!" I walked up to her, took my necklace from her hand and put it back in the box before pulling her arm from the chair then dragging her out of the door. "Get out, I don't want you in my room anymore."
"Oww! All right, all right, all right," Ashley pulled her hand from my grasp, as she was at the door, she said, "Geez, you shouldn't be too aggressive or mistreat me like this. So what am I supposed to do to have fun here? "
"To be honest, I don't care. Go watch TV or something,"
"Are you always this rude to others or are you just like me?" Ashley asked.
"Ok well, maybe it'll be better if I spend the rest of my night next door" Ashley shouted.
"It's up to you, whatever you like, do it. You can even make kids or catch mice or something. Aahley, listen! I don't care what you want to do okay!"
"Seriously? You know, we're cousins, you're the only cousins closer to my age since my sister was only 6 months old. And I've always tried to fit in with you, I've always tried to be an adult because I thought you just saw me as a bitch, but you always seem to be like that." Ashley fell silent and stopped following me.
"Had enough chatter?" I stopped too and turned to face him.
"Based on witchcraft" Ashley replied.
"Basic sucks!" I said to her, "Perhaps if you're not being too annoying yourself, I don't have to act that way with you".
"I don't even know why I bother trying to get close to you. I've tried everything to get your attention and you don't seem to like me even if we're blood," Ashley told me. "I don't usually care what people think of me but I wonder, why do you hate me Naomi? "
For the first time I heard him talk like that or ask me this question. I also didn't know he felt this way, I just always thought he was the bad boy who always made me angry and upset. I never thought he was like that because he was trying to get my attention, now I know why he always wanted to come home and why he liked to bother me.
"Aahley, I don't hate you, okay? You're my cousin. I can't hate you, but I just hate your attitude and I really hate you when you're playing around with my stuff" I told him " If only you had reduced some of your attitude and knew your limits with me, then we could have been good friends. I'm an adult anyway, I'm probably only 6 years older than you, but I'm an adult than you so, I'm not going to do anything as disrespectful as you."
