I must confess, school was really tiring today but atleast there's something that I'm grateful for and that is today is Friday!

I'm so happy that yes! its Friday and I'll be having enough sleep to catch up with the early wake ups I did this week.

Its so sad though that some students will be using this precious nap time for some stupid loud party just because they want to belong and some other unfortunate people just want to go to the party just so they can watch so as to find something to rumour and gossip about next week.

Anyway, I drove into our compound and park my car only to notice a black BMW outside the compound and fortunately, that can only mean dad is around!

I smiled at the thought of things we could do together this weekend suddenly forgotten about my tiredness.

Dad is the best when he's around. He doesn't take the little time he comes to see us as a rest instead he spends it having fun with us. He's a very busy man and it doesn't really help that his business is not here but all the way in New York and he only come when the work in the office has lessen.

Nothing is confirmed yet about anything I want to do with him this weekend but two things are SURE and they are:

1 playing videogames ✅✅
2 going to watch movie together✅

The thought of these two things make me ecstatic already!

And yeah in case you're wondering why I love video game so much.... Let's keep the reason for another day because you wouldn't want to bore yourself by seeing the ranting part of me so let's just get stuck with this present me. Okay? Okay.

Okay so I finish parking my car and literally launch for the door that's how excited I am to see dad.

I opened the door only to be welcomed by an empty sitting room. Oh I didn't expect this tho. I shrugged the feeling off only for my ears to prick at the voices or more like noises coming from the kitchen.

I walked slowly toward the kitchen to avoid them noticing my foot step since I plan on startling them with my presence.

Just as I reached the kitchen, I was about to scream to make them scared but I was beat to it when I heard the voice that I could literally point out from anywhere among thousands of crowds.

Nancy's.

"Its my fucking life for goodness sake! What I do with it is not any of your damn business!" She shouted more like screamed. I swear she'll make my ear bleed someday.

"Language young lady! and we are your parents so whatever you decide to do with your life matters to us!" Mom shouted back.

"What century do you live in like seriously?." Nancy scoffed. "I'm nineteen for cry out loud! and I can say or do whatever I want without you two having to judge me."

I didn't know hiding in front of the kitchen door was a good hiding place until now since non of them as even noticed me not to mention seeing me. I guess the conversation is so intense, both mom and Nancy look like they can rip each other apart the next moment and there's is my daddy, standing there and looking from mom to Nancy at each point any of them makes.

"Oh congratulations miss nineteen." Mom mocked. "Now tell me what you've archived since you clocked nineteen? NOTHING!" Mom answered herself. "You've archived absolutely nothing! in case you've forgotten let me remind you that you failed SAT twice already!"

"And that's because I don't want to go to college! I want to be a model and I don't see why I need to waste my time doing nothing at college." She yelled even louder almost making me to close my ears with my finger.

"Stop right there Nancy, I've heard enough." Dad spoke up the first time. "Non of my family member ignore college and you will not be the first to start. So you better listen to your mom and prepare to write SAT again this year along with your sister Sea. Atleast now that you know that you are taking the exam with someone younger than you, you should have some decency and try your best to pass." Dad finished mumbling the last part but enough for Nancy and everyone else to catch.

"Oh I was just waiting for the comparison and yeah it took you guys so long to bring Sea into this." She sounded hurt and trust me, I feel bad for her as well.

Mom and dad both have this mentality of you can't succeed unless you graduate from every level of schooling.

I mean schooling isn't bad but I guess its not so compulsory for everyone to go at every level of it to be successful in life.

I guess I'm with Nancy on this. For the first time.

"Of course we'll bring her into this since you fail to see her and be like her. Look at that girl Nancy, she's smart and responsible oh god what good thing is she not. Don't make things difficult than its already is and just be like Sea for once!" Mom said.

As much I can see they are trying to convince Nancy to go to college that's how much I can also see they are going about it the wrong way. They shouldn't have compared if I'm to judge this show _ sorry issue/situation.

"If you only want a daughter like Sea then you should have just killed me all those years back when you got her!" Nancy shouted.

"We as your parents and.... "

"It doesn't feels like it anymore since you brought that abandoned child to this house! Just look her, she's bad luck! her mom left her right after given birth to her and she didn't think to spare grandma now she's targeting us. I'm tired of being compared to her every second of my life because I'm NOT her and I'll NEVER be her because I'm ME." Nancy voiced out and I swear her words stung like hell!

For all this years I've been living with the pain of knowing my mom died because of me and just maybe my mother should have just aborted me maybe she would have still being with her family. But no, she gave birth to me and I'm a constant reminder of her death.

"Nancy!" Mom or rather her mom (as she wanted it said) shouted her name raising her hand to slap her but stop herself. But that didn't take those words back and it doesn't stop it from ringing in my brains either, it stuck there and it hurts ALOT.

Nancy as if happy that she got the last word that hurts her parent turned on her heels only for her eyes to meet my pained ones.

She didn't feel remorse at that tho but slowed down when she reached the door where I imagined to be hiding myself some minutes back and smirked.

I mean she smirked as if the pain in my eyes gave her the peace she has been longing for her whole life.

"Sea". Nancy's parents said the same time walking towards me with pity in her eyes but I assure you, pity is the last thing I want right now so I stop them.

"No". I told them. "I'm okay, she said nothing wrong after all. " I struggled to mask my hurt but I know my walls will soon break so I walked away_ first into my room and then the whole house felt suffocating for me all of a sudden so I used my window as an exit and just walk.

A/N: sorry guys for the late update, the truth is I've being very busy and adding typing with it will only make it worse. Sorry

So Nancy is a bitch after all but I think her parents are to be blame for it a little.

Don't worry, I'll be sure to let you in a little about Sea's past the next chapter.

Luv y'all ❤❤❤
