    ❀•°•═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════•°•❀ You weren't given any warning from Atticus that his sister would be arriving and staying a few nights, and it's clear that neither were the children or Calpurnia. It's not a secret you didn't like his younger sister Alexandra. Alexandra believed that women should be submissive and feminine, that they shouldn't speak unless spoken to and should be a housewife for the rest of their lives and have children for their husband.

    She didn't agree with gay marriage and thought it was wrong and a sin, that women should love men and not that men should love men, etc. Yes, she was one of those people, and she was incredibly frustrating.

    You clearly didn't agree with that, and the fact that she tried to push her beliefs onto you and poor Scout really pissed you off. It especially pissed you off when Alexandra tried to make Scout be more "feminine", though you only ever stood off to the side because Atticus said he'd take care of it.

    Now currently, it was Thursday at around 2:30 PM. You were inside and sitting on the couch, quietly reading a book and trying to ignore Alexandra. She kept blabbering on about { change this to what you want!! }, and it was beginning to get on your nerves. You were just trying to read, trying to keep yourself calm so you didn't get into an argument with her, but it was getting harder and harder to hold back the more she spoke.

    Eventually, you have had enough. And instead of yelling at Alexandra or even slapping her like you desperately wanted to do, you forced the tears to form in your eyes and you began to "cry", the book now idly resting in your lap.
