My Rotten Stepbrother Ruined Cinderella — page 1
Chapter 1 Maddie McMatthews was pretty sure she had the worst stepbrother in the entire world True there might be an eleven-year-old girl in Portugal or Tajikistan whose perfectly nice stepmom had a sarcastic prank-pulling punk for a son Maybe that poor girl was also forced to live under the same roof as the terrible troublemaker There was no way though that that girl had to put up with a boy as infuriating as Holden McNeal of Middle Grove New Jersey He was the obnoxious jerk with whom Maddie shared a wall a bathroom and a furious dislike The two stepsiblings even shared a birthday but Maddie was quick to correct anyone who mistakenly thought that they were twins We’re barely even related she’d say with a sigh and an eye-roll When her dad first announced that he was marrying Carol Maddie was thrilled She’d always wanted a brother She offered to show Holden around school and introduce him to everyone she knew Then how did he repay her By getting them all to follow him on Instagram and posting a picture of what Maddie’s hair looks like in the morning The image got shared dozens of times and became so well-known around school that three different girls dressed as Morning Maddie for Halloween Holden became known as the class clown She became known as the girl with clown hair It didn’t end there Holden erased all of Maddie’s favorite shows from the DVR so he could record wrestling matches He left his pet tarantula on her pillow so she would scream when she got into bed None of this even came close to the worst thing he had ever done the thing that put him in the Rotten Weasel Hall of Fame for all eternity and changed Maddie’s life forever Her stepbrother Holden McNeal broke up Cinderella’s wedding forcing her to go back to scrubbing floors for her wicked stepmother
