A Girl In The Golden Grass: Part 1

I lay looking through the hole in the ceiling. My home is falling apart. Battered Broove Farm. The farm house was a small white cottage with a thatched roof. I work everyday and I have never been to school, home schooling is probably worse than school. Sylvie is my identical twin sister and I am called Emeress.
"Emeress! You need to harvest the carrots!" my mother yelled through the house.
"Can't Sylvie do it?" I murmured as I pulled my blanket over my head and giving Sylvie a kick in the back. "Please?"
"No! Infact you can both do it. Your both as lazy as each other. Work to stay afloat, I always say..." mother shouted as she laid the table.
"Thanks a lot. Now I have to leave my floor of a bed and help do your work. Sometimes." Sylvie whispered as she kicked me back.
"Whoops, sorry!" I sarcastically apologized and for that I got a few more kicks in the back. After I dragged Sylvie out of our version of bed (the floor with a pillow and blanket) we set out into our acres of land.
