Chapter 13

Elena Sergio.

Sometimes I wonder why my life wasn't made this way. There wasn't a good reason for me to be up every morning. It was either my insecurities or someone who played with my feelings. I was reluctant to go to school but I had no other choice. I was out of excuses. I could have told my parents that I was feeling under the weather but that will get them all over me.

Yes, I was their last child. I get all the attention and I manipulated them to my advantage when I was little but sometimes I wish I wasn't. It is always rosy at the beginning. When I was little, I'd get in my feelings and request chocolate or candy and they won't think twice before getting it for me.

My sister back then would get jealous. She would always tease me and remind me, telling me to enjoy the whole attention while it lasted. I would frown and report her to my parents and they'd all laugh it out. Who knew there was more to that laugh?
