It's really annoying.

They tell you to be yourself, don't care about what others think. And yet I still get labeled as not only a social outcast, but I'm compared to being as every bit as beautiful as Ariana Grande, my mom.

Don't get me wrong, but it is kind of bothersome when you can't be looked at as your own person.

I live in Burbank, CA and literally every single time I get out of the house, people ask me to sing and perform for them or some other bullshit. I mean, it's not my mom's fault...it's just that I never tell them to stop, I'm just not up for being all confident, you know?

Right now I'm in the living room of my...(mansion, I don't know) house just trying to get through an hour's worth of homework.

But even after all this judgment, I did see through to find one friend, Andy. He was...I guess like a brother to me. I did develop a small crush on him before, but I quickly got over it, seeing as he probably didn't have the same feelings.

And I don't blame him, it made me the tomboy I am today.

It's not that I can't sing, I just choose not to.  It's like a small detail evaporated into nothingness, I guess I'm not the fabulous Grande I'm supposed to be.

The landline snapped me out of my reverie, looking at it I was relieved to find that it was Andy. I quickly picked up the phone, finding out that I need to meet him out on the roof. (yes, some teens prefer drugs, I climb roofs on a daily basis)

After 10 minutes of our usual catch-up, Andy said something really unexpected.

"What bothers you the most?" He asked. I looked at him and thought for a moment. It sounded like a broad question but I knew what he was talking about.

"I guess...she doesn't have time for me...," I let out a sigh and shook my head.

Andy, being the light-hearted person he is, said, "Spends more time with Mac Miller than you." I laughed. My sense of humor wasn't the best, but only Andy could pull me out of the Negative Nancy card.

"Tatiana?" I heard our butler, William call. I quickly bid goodbye to Andy, and slipped through to my room, seeing as William tends to get very confused when no one's home.

"I'm here!" William wasn't alone. Behind him was my mom, who I rarely get to see these days.

"Mom! I thought you weren't here for a week more!" I was really surprised; most of time I get phone calls saying she can't make it home...sometimes it's just a surprise.

"My movie is on a little break, so I thought to come here!" I beamed like a little kid until I realized the boatload of homework I had.

"Well I'm busy so I'll just do my homework..." Dashing back to the living room,  I instantly thought, maybe if I practiced...I could sing just like my mom...

Yeah, right. Like that would ever happen.
