Sunny Days And Moon Cakes (2015)
“We’re finally in China. I feel a rush of excitement as I wait to step off the plane. Mum is standing beside me. Dad and Min are in front of us. Min asked the air steward if she could be the first person off the plane, because she’d been born in China and this was the first time she’d been back. I was mortified and Mum seemed a bit embarrassed too, but Dad thought it was hilarious. The air steward said he’d make sure of it. He asked me if I wanted to join Min, but I shook my head and stared down... at the floor.
“She never talks,” Min said. “It’s really boring.”
Mum told the man that we’d follow on behind. When he’d gone, she gave out to Min for being mean to me, but my darling little sister went all huffy. “I was just telling the truth,” she said.
She was, but it still hurt.
There’s a crowd of people behind us now, all anxiously waiting for the doors of the plane to open so they can disembark. I can feel their impatience bubbling and snapping at our heels. It’s making me nervous.MoreLess
