The door slammed behind her. She didn’t care though. She was Dareia Argyris, doors lived in fear of her. Middle schoolers, however, didn’t.
“ What’s wrong, Dar?” Her mother’s voice drifted from the kitchen.
Reia stopped half-way up the stairs. She stood there for what seemed like a year, then finally decided to storm back down the stairs screaming, “Don’t call me Dar!”
Mrs. Argyris just rolled her eyes. “Fine then, What’s wrong Reia.”
Dareia glared at her mother before answering quietly, “The kids in my homeroom were making fun of me because I don’t have a middle name. They called me the spawn of Satan.”
Mr. Argyris’ eyes flitted up from his paper so briefly that Dareia was quite sure that he hadn’t done it had at all. “Damn those God-fearing Catholics!” her mother screamed, throwing her towel onto the counter with such malice, that Dae was quite sure that it would split in two.
She watched her father send her mother a meaningful look, and her mother softened. “Pardon me,” she said, looking at Dae’s little sister, Lomina, who had been so stricken by her mother’s words that she had toppled off of the bar stool she was sitting on. “Dareia Argyris, you were not baptized and not raised in a religious environment because of this very thing. These people don’t understand that there are worse things than the wrath of a Holy or Unholy supreme being. Whether it be Satan or God.”
“You have no reason to be ashamed of who you are, these people fear the people who are supposedly the ‘Spawn of Satan.’ I don’t-”
“No, Mom,” Dareia cut in, “They’re scared of people who are different. People who are freaks! People like me!”
With that, Dae stormed out of the room, up the carpeted stairs that muffled her stomping, down the marble hallway, and into her granite room, slamming the oak door behind her. This action made such a colossal bang, that the rest of the people residing in the giant old home were surprised that nothing had broken.
