Chapter 2:
"kripa, here on this paper write all the digits one through 100 on this paper, now!" she quickly grabbed the pencil and began writing, but then she saw her brother and sister run out the door to play. "daddy, daddy, I want to go play, I don't want to do this!" suryaban looked at her and yelled, "do it now, I don't have all day!" "but daddy, I don't want to, I want to play NOW!" Wackkkk, he slapped her, tears ran down her eyes, it felt as though the lightning struck her, he had just slapped her. She cried and continued working, an hour later she was done. Her tears had dried but marks of tears were left on her cheeks, she went upstairs hugged her teddy and fell asleep.

"dad, can I have a birthday party, I am turning 10, please dad!" "suryaban looked at kripa and said, "no your not having a party, I don't have all day and I don't want to deal with all this party crap, so NO party!" kripa quietly walked away and thought, "its not fair, its never fair!" they cut the cake all five of them, but she didn't get a hug from her parents, birthday wishes or a smile.
*****
She walked into her room thinking how life had been so awkward with her, why wasn't anyone fair to her, she shed tears that night, and fell asleep crying. She got ready the next morning and was off to school without a "have a good day at school!" or "love you!"
Later that day, kripa came home with her grade report, she had gotten all A average grades. Suryaban went through all the assignment grades and found a bunch of C's. he looked at her, anger rose to the tip of his nose. "what is this kripa, cant you do anything right?" "dad, those are just one or two assignments, you should be glad I got all A's even with failing one or two assignments." "no, go back tomorrow damn it, and redo the assignments, im fed up with all your mistakes, your so damn annoying!" and walked away.
The next morning kripa went up to her teacher and begged to redo some of the assignments for her fathers sake, even though she had passed all the subjects. "of course kripa, you can redo the assignments, but what is the point your doing an excellent job in school!" kripa just stood there silent.
*****
Josh's birthday had come near and it was time to party! "josh, we are having a birthday party for you tonight." "thanx dad," said a very happy josh. Kripa stood there eyes wide shock with anger and disappointment, and she mumbled to herself, "I turned 10 once, and he turned 12, he got a party but when I begged I didn't get one, why is life so unfair?"
*****
FOUR YEARS LATER
Anjali came home and showed her progress report to suryaban. He was very happy. Kripa took a look and found lots of C's and F's, and he didn't yell at her, what was happening, was it a SIN TO BE THE MIDDLE CHILD? Kripa looked at suryaban with anger in her eyes, all those years of pain and anjali got nothing except for a good job hun, "dad, she got a lot of C's and F's and you didn't tell her to go back and change any?" suryaban looked at her, "well they arent the average grade he smiled," "I had told you the same thing and you used to yell, scream and hit me for getting a bad grade on an assignment and anjali here gets a "job well done" how come you don't yell at her and go make her make up for it?" "okay fine, anjali don't get anymore C's or F's," he said while laughing. Tears burst in kripa's eyes, she couldn't take it, and walked into her room, looked the door and cried her heart out.
