You go up to Jessica and explain what she's doing wrong and how she NEEDS to be doing it. You proceed to take completely over.

While Jessica wouldn't have minded your help, she doesn't particularly care for how you approached her. She didn't ASK you for your help and your arrogant manner has turned her off. And the fact you told her that she may "thank you now" made things even worse.

You've lost your shot at her, but that doesn't seem to bother you, the fact that she didn't praise the ground you walk on for your help, bothers you more. Some people are just ungrateful you guess.

Lunchtime comes around and Aaron begins thanking you again, for helping him. You enjoy his praise until you tire of him and tell him to shut up and get you another can of Coke, which he complies.

At this point you overhear your sister's boyfriend Butch brag to all his friends about some girl he slept with last night. A girl that wasn't your sister.

You wonder if you should confront him, but you don't see how this could be readily advantageous to you.

You keep quiet

No advantange in getting your ass kicked by Butch and six of his friends. No you know what to do. You attend all your classes as usual and wait until after school where you rat on Butch to your sister. She's really upset and confronts him about it. As they start to argue, you see Aaron and tell him that if Butch gets rough with your sister, he should step in and help, since she'll find that attractive and might go out with him.

Poor Aaron already blindly loyal to you, readily believes your lies and sure enough as soon as Butch grabs your sister, Aaron attempts to defend her and gets the shit beaten out of him very badly. Your sister see first hand the brutality of Butch and screams for someone to help, where upon one of the teachers from the school removes Butch and has someone call the paramedics for Aaron.

Butch will soon be paying legally for what he did to Aaron. For now though your sister is a bit distraught over all this, she's going to go home, despite the fact she'll have to face Mom.

You go home

You decide its time to take control of the household. After all you're the fucking man of the house, and that bitch Mom of yours better realize that, besides the shift in power is in your favor with your sister on your firmly on your side now.

Your prepare your sister for the coming confrontation with Mom, she looks less than excited to do it, but you helped her a lot today and agrees it needs to be done.

When Mom comes home you immediately go on the offensive, totally catching her off guard. You do most of the fighting, your sister only piping up when you ask her to, you unleash a litany of cruel truths to your Mom. You mention how she's a lonely dried up over the hill woman who needs someone in her life because she's an unhappy person. So if she knows what's good for her she'll start treating you both with more respect. And that's just one of the things you say. Not that she isn't totally without ammo, but you feel actually energized by the battle. Like you're getting off on the conflict. Eventually you wear her down and she half-heartly gives in.

You know that your Mom is never going to be docile, but you've effectively changed the balance of power. You go to bed totally pleased by your victory. Your confidence transformed into arrogance and finally into outright manipulative nastiness.

Another day arrives and you feel like Mom...
