Deceiving Appearances

Chapter-1 Messing Around In Private Sector

Copy Right All Right Reserve

In the darkness, I was with peace and quiet, most people wouldn't enjoy it but I sure did. My entire body felt like it was flowing in the salty cold ocean. Sometimes, I think that my place should be in a grave stone, not that I exactly hate my life is just that in the place I'll have long lasting peace, with no worries at all. But every day I tried not to enjoy too much of that pleasing peace because I know it will end sooner or later, or now. The clock started ringing aggressively and I groaned. I hide my face under the covers, trying my best to not filter the sound, but it didn't work. The disturbing sound stop and I sigh out of relief.

"Thank you Zuko" I whispered. It was my grandmother's dog, but since I hav been living here my entire life I consider him as mine as well. Sometimes, I thought that he's too intelligent to be a dog the worst part is that he doesn't look like a dog at all, well maybe because he isn't. I'm sure that my grandmother one day saw him in the woods, from her backyard, and adopted him thinking that it was a dog. When you're old, you sometimes lose your brain cells and do every crazy stuff that's passing through your mind, just saying.

I crawl my hand out of the covers since I know that Zuko must be resting his head on my bed waiting for me to pat him, for being a good boy and helping me shut that annoying alarm clock.

"No, no Zuko, don't get up on my water bead, you're too heavy" I stand up abruptly, when I noticed that Zuko got on my bed waging his tail. I groaned defeated since he wouldn't bulge off.

"You know what, I sometimes hate you" I whispered to the dog when he was extremely close to my face. He definitely didn't understand what I said since he was still waving his tail happily. "I'm just kidding, look at your fwace, whow's the cute puppy, ywou are ywou are" I said while grabbing his head with both of my hands.

"Get out of bed Arienayed, you don't want to be late for school" my grandmother announce while she pass by my door, but kept walking probably going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. I groaned and went to the shower. When I finished, I saw that the dog, still on my bed, was showing me his beautiful eyes, it looks like they are about to pop out from his head. "You're still there?" I snorted and went to the closet. I got out some fresh underwear and a pair of blue faded jeans while matching it with a t-shirt that said ' You ain't ma mama' in the front. I look back and Zuko was staring at me the entire time, his head tilted to the side with his ears straight as a ruler

"You weirdo" I joked imagining him as if he was a creepy pervert for watching me naked.

I walked down the stairs imagining how it would be, instead of my grandmother cooking breakfast for me, my parents doing it for me. Life is not fair, why can't I have a regular life living with my parents, or be rich so my parents can actually raise me happily with no complications. I look at my hand to admire the ring, the ring identical to my grandmother's one. It was silver and big, it look more like a man's ring instead of a female girly one. It has great value for my grandmother I don't know why, but for me it reminds me of my mother, she gave it to me as a present and she always told me to never get it off so she can be close to me everywhere I go. Maybe that's a lie that every parents tell to their children to make them feel better, but for a reason I couldn't get the ring off, it didn't feel right.

I sat down on the stool and waited for my empty plate to be filled with food. I look at it like it was the most interesting thing in the whole world.

"Oh honey, can you please help me" her sweet voice eco in my head. At least I have someone special in my life, my grandmother but it will be way more interesting if I had a younger brother, so I won't get bored so easily in my house. Let's admit it; I can't always have fun with my grandma.
