"Dinner's ready!" My sister called pounding on my door. 

"Not hungry." I yelled back.

"Mom told me to get you for dinner." Lily called through the door.

"That's great but like I said I'm not hungry." I snapped.

"Mom wants you to come downstairs, she told me to tell you-"

"I get it! It's not your fault I don't come down, just tell her I don't want to right now. I'm sure she'll understand."

The door to my room creeped open.

"Lily!" I shouted, "Get out!"

Ignoring me she stepped further into the room, "Is that my camera?"

Damn it! Stupid camera! I meant to hide it till I got her another one. I hadn't expected her to come trespassing into my room.

"Nope." I said quickly tossing it behind me on the bed. 

"You're being super weird. You just ran right into your room when you got home." Lily pushes.

"I'm not being weird, you're just nosy." 

"Come on Vera I know that's my camera." 

"It's not."

"If you still need it, I don't care but why are you being weird about it?"

"I'm literally not."

"Show me the camera then."

"No."

Lily rushed over to me. I stood to intercept her, but she dove behind me and snatched the camera off my bed. She turned it over and then quickly looked up at me, her expression irate.

"What happened?"

"Nothing." I insisted.

"You broke my camera!"

"Who said it's your camera?"

Lily scoffed, "unbelievable."

"Okay, look I didn't break it."

"Then what happened?"

I shrugged helplessly. It suddenly occurred to me that I couldn't exactly let slide that Billy Hargrove had knocked it off the stand in a rage.

"It could have been an accident!"

"What do you mean could have been?"

"Like it might have broken from an accident."

"Was it an accident?"

"I don't know!"

"How could you not know? What happened?"

"I don't know!"

"That's it." She ran from my room clutching her camera, "Mom!"

She raced down the stairs as I began chasing her. Both our footsteps pounding on the floorboards.

"Hey! Hey, you cannot tell mom okay." I hissed, grabbing at her arm.

"Mom!" She shrieked again.

"Tell me what?" My mom asked appearing at the bottom of the stairs, her tone strained.

"Nothing!" I yelled quickly.

"Vera broke my camera!" Lily shouted over me.

"Girls! Stop yelling, what is this?"
