Evangeline Merton is the so-called hero whom people admire to look up to but they don't know what's on her mind.  One thing's for sure this woman loves her post and fame more than her people and their lives. They call me a jealous freak but I do the hard work and get no credit for it.  Security will lead to backlashes like conspiracy and others but who knows?  I am not the one to judge on this matter. 

My name is Laura Merchant, the sidekick of Merton but I am tired of her ways and demands. It makes me wary of her attitude, and tired for a whole day. She keeps on dragging me to places that I don't like. Her favourite place is the salon whereas my favourite place is the damn library where I like to research how to communicate with humans and learn about their history. 

Yes dear reader, I am not human but an ET whose main concern is you all. I don't like to puff my chest with pride that I protect the whole world but it's a risky job to do and a normal human like you all would have died. It's hard mixing with you, you know that? With all these prejudices you have against us, and that you all think we are evil and stuff we are the reason why the world is safe from foreign attacks from the other angry aliens. Anyways, Evangeline is using our hard work and dedication to her fame which is kind of enraging. She is just a human who is trying to take credit for what she never would do and never did.

"You done, sweetheart?" she says while breaking my chain of thoughts.  "Done what, Evan?" I asked her. "The documents which I gave you yesterday?" she tilts her head. "Those were to be done by you, Merton." I hiss. "Don't be angry at me, Mi amiga." She purrs. "You know how I hate doing your stuff when you should be doing it." I am so angry at her irresponsibility. "Please, Laurs I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by me but I know you more than the other humans."She shows me her 'puppy eyes' which I know would not work on me. "Ugh, fine I will do this for the last time. Next time you do this, I swear on Planet Earth, I won't do it." I sigh. "Thanks, Laura, I hope you have a great day!"She exclaims while leaving her office. Mother Titania, she will be the end of me. 

I need to work on her now. Well, I will work under her and somewhat against her to expose her. I just need to know where to start. She has committed many crimes but this needs to stop, justice needs to be delivered and the fickled-mindedness of the people must be warned of. I hate it when people are like that. It makes them look stupid and dumb but they think they are so *Smart* but if they were what they thought, then Merton would have been in jail by now and I would have been awarded. No offense, Evan.

The day progresses and it is now nightfall. I come home with a heavy heart that I had to leave my favourite pizza place. Yes, I have a favourite pizza place,  it's Rosita's. I've visited it so many times that the owner now knows me. Anyway, I have written a list of problems which Evangeline has caused me but I don't know how to embrace the public and show the whole world that she is not worth it so I start working on her dishevels and on my language lessons. You see, I am not accustomed to speaking English and would require lessons for it. People don't  know I am actually not human but it's okay, I just hope Evangeline doesn't leak my secret or else I'll be spending my last days getting experimented although she should not be trusted by your personal information, now that she revealed her true form to me and some of my other companions. We are tired of her bossy nature and her oh so extravagance. 

So, I called each of them and told them my plan but only one of them agreed as they thought it would backfire and they would become outcasts. And that one one was my  friend the closest to me after Evangeline  was Evie Lange.  I hope you all understand that we, ETs also have feelings and that I love my Bestie Evie more than I loved my honours.

 Anyways  while I type out my life in here, I hear the roars of an engine, chirping of the birds and the frollicking of the winds etc but if one puts on much attention to nature, they would finding themselves enjoying its nature. I like Rainstorms for a reason , that nature needs its time to shed its emotion out. It is not a human behaviour to bottle up emotion, it is a habit grown by the fear of not expressing one's self
