*******
Melanie

I am scared that I am not the girl people know, I am not the bright shiny star people suspect, I am more of the girl no one notices or pays attention to, like I am invisible.

People see me as a star, a shiny star that always brings joy around her, that is always happy, but I am not. It's more like the opposite.

I am Melanie Wane  the dumbest, saddest, weak person ever. Before now I always felt Incomplete like there was a part of me that was locked away, sealed deep inside me, but today I don't feel like that anymore, I feel stronger, more powerful, I feel in control like I am unstoppable.

“ Melanie, get down here!!” Mom yells, snapping me back to reality. I stare at myself in the mirror, I look tough. Grabbing my school bag from beside me, I head out of my room, going down the stairs like I own the world.

“ Good morning mom.” my voice is cold, and harsh unlike me.

“ Morning baby, are you okay?” she asks, concern itched all over her face.

“ I am great, mom. Never been better.” I am not okay. I can feel it, something strange is going on inside me. I can feel my body changing like a part of me is growing, a part I never knew existed.

This morning while looking at myself in the mirror I noticed my eyes got bigger, my shoulders broader, my teeth looked sharper, and whiter even longer, I look scarier.

“ Melanie, what's wrong?” Alex, my step dad asks.

“ Did you just growl at me?” Alex asked, making me frown. I didn't do that did I?

“Happy birthday to you sis” Julian, my little brother yells. He jumps on me from behind, making me giggle.

“Happy birthday to you too” I squeak.

Julian, and I both have the same birthday. But, I am older than him with two years, I am turning eighteen while Julian turns sixteen today.

“ Well, you both are gonna be late if you don't move your butts out now, shoooooh, and happy birthday to you both. I love you guys so much.” she says using her hand in demonstrating.

“ Ewwww mom no L words we already agreed on that” I say with a pout, yeah I am not a fan of saying I love you to anyone and most definitely not to my mom, eww that's just gross.

“ I love you mom,” Julian says. Rolling my eyes, I give him a small knock as we walk out of the house.

“Ouch, what's that for?” he asked, blinking childishly, oh I forgot he is a child.

“ Stop making me seem like a bad kid” I warn.

“But you are a bad kid, who doesn't tell their mom the love word?” he asks like it's impossible.

“ Oh um hello, my name is Melanie. I am your sister. Nice to meet you too.” I say sarcastically while holding my hand out for a handshake.

“Go away, you are just a weirdo.” he murmurs.

“Why, thank you little boy. ” I say, smirking.

“We are late, walk faster” Julian murmurs, we don't take the bus because there are so many mean kids there.

Julian’s school is just a block away while I have to walk for about an hour before getting to my school. Sometimes I run after Julian gets to his school, and yes I still prefer it than to take the bus. That's just how mean those kids can be.
