Becoming the King's Queen

Journey One

Allyson's POV

Being Allyson Celeste is not quiet bad. Aside from my parents always telling me that my sister, who's the town secretary, is way better than me, other villagers here in Mayantan love me.

I was raised to reach a very high standard that was set by my own sister. When I was young, I found it very hard to be always compared. I achieve the highest scores and grades in my classes, yet all of those aren't enough for my parents. I tried and tried and tried, and sad to say, but until now I am still trying to be enough for my parents.

Life really isn't perfect. To a girl like me, who everyone thinks is perfect, all I want is a simple recognition from my parents. All awards, medals, and trophies I had is not valuable since my older sister already had them.

It's not fair.

I remember when I was in the kindergarten, I always get more than five stars on my hand. I always get more than other kids, but when I show it to my parents all they said was that, "Angelica got both her hands full on the first day", or "maybe you and your friends just played with the stamp when the teacher was busy doing something". As a kid, those phrases hurt a lot but now, I think my parents are too busy idolizing my older sister they are forgetting not only their other daughter, but also their sanity. I mean, why would I show those stars to them if I only put them there myself in the first place?

Idiots.

It's bad, telling them such things like that, but hey, they're the ones who raised me. Blame it on them.

My parents were both known law writers not only in our town but in the entire country. My sister, on the other hand, 'governs' the town great (even though she's just the secretary) but my parents always tell that.

I am running as a the top achiever of Mayantan Campus but I will not bother to tell them anymore because I do not want another "Angelica" comparison phrases. Maybe they can wait a few more years and when I become the town Mayor, I will freaking kick Angelica out and maybe they'll stop underestimating and comparing me to her. Heh, I will be the Mayor and Angelica will be the 'other sister'.

If I am going to be the town's Mayor, and my parents will still tell me such things like "Angelica as a secretary did better that you as a mayor", (these phrase is a hunch but there is an 80% possibility of it being said to me) then I'll just tell them to leave the town and find another place where Angelica can run a whole town then maybe we can start a town war or something.

Of course, I am kidding about telling them to leave since they are still family, and a family is a family no matter how they treat you. It sucks.

So yeah, when you're Allyson, life isn't that bad. The way I was raised taught me to be tougher and be a hardworking person. Yes, I am a hardworking person even if all my efforts are always put aside because the comparison, and I will not give up giving my best until my parents recognized me as me, as Allyson, and not as Angelica's inferior sister.
