"Wake up, poo head!" I groaned and rolled over and faced the window. "Rise and shine sweetums!" Someone pulled open the curtains making the sun rays enter the room and directly in front of my face. I opened my eyes and glared at Vanessa who was giggling by the window.

"Come on! You don't want to spend the last day of your break sleeping right?" Lucy said as she tugged on my arm. Andy pulled the other one and made me sit. "I don't want to go out!" I whined. My "date" with Tyler was 2 days ago and it has blown up social medias.

"Nuh-uh! We're going out!" Andy threw a pillow at my face. I glared at her and made a move to get her back. Andy realized what I was trying to do so she ran behind Vanessa who was picking out my outfit for today. "No! You take a bath and we'll make breakfast." Lucy pushed me towards my bathroom. I stuck my tongue out at Andy and went inside.

Once I'm done with my shower, I took the clothes that Vanessa picked for me and wore them. Next, I put eyeliner, mascara, and nude lipstick. Then decided to let my hair fall into its own wavy mess.

"Food!" I screamed when I entered the kitchen. "Hello to you too." I know that voice. I turned towards the island bar and lo and behold, my mom was sitting there with her business suit on. "Hello, mother." I wiped my face off of any emotions and sat beside Lucy. My mom stared at me long and hard before she got up and walked towards me.

"Haven't you had enough with this music thing? I mean come on! You're 19 now. You need to go back to school!" Here we go again. "Mom, I am not in the mood for this." I stood up and faced her. I glanced at the girls and they were just sitting there while Andy was "cooking".

"Why couldn't you be more like your sisters! Your older sister is now one of the top doctors in the US and your younger sister is on the top of her classes. And you? You're making a fool out of yourself for the whole world to see." You know what hurts the most? Being compared to your siblings. I mean come on, it was so obvious that mom favoured my older sister over me and dad favoured my younger sister over me.

"Wow mom, thank you. I would like to chat with you more but I have to go. You already ruined this day for me so I'll bet that your morning is fan-fucking-tastic." I turned my back and walked out of the kitchen. I grabbed my car keys, wallet, phone and stormed out of the house.

I drove and drove without any destination really. I pulled over the side and tears came running down. Ever since I was a kid, they never really noticed me. And when they do, it's when I did something wrong.

Flashback
"Daddy! My teacher picked me to represent the whole grade. I'm going to compete!" I happily stood beside my dad who was typing stuff in his computer.

"Hmm.." Was all I had as a response from him. I scrunched my eyebrows and figured that maybe he was just busy with work. So I walked away towards my room.

But then I heard my mom's excited voice in the living room and she was approaching dad's study. "Did you hear? Alyssa's going to represent her grade in a competition?" Mom gushed as she hugged Alyssa. "Really? Wow honey, you did great! When's the competition? We would love to watch!" My dad said.

I stood there watching them talk. "April 28th" Alyssa said. Huh, that was the same day as mine and we go to different schools. "I'll cancel my appointments for that day." Mom said. "I'll call my secretary." Dad smiled at Alyssa.

"Cara! You're going to be late for your competition come on. Let's get going." My nanny said as she pulled the dress out of my closet. "Where's mommy and daddy?" I asked. She looked at me and smiled sadly.
