Mysterious
Most times, I wonder why my parents names me Peace cus there's nothing peaceful about my life. And worst of it, no one survives my chaotic life. They either leave or die.
Even my mom couldn't stay in my chaotic life, she died. My dad left after I was born. My elder sister, she left on my 15th birthday and now my best friend, Happiness 😭😭.
I'm sixteen years at present, in the final level of high school. I'm mysterious. I see things, I hear things, my judgement about people at first sight is never wrong and I hate it.
My mom said it's a gift but I detest the stupid gift. It doesn't allow me to live like a normal teenager. My classmates calls me a wacko, psycho, geek, nerd, witch. They all act like they like me when they see me but immediately I turn around, they say something else.
I can still remember the day I met Happiness. I was 14. I got to school early as usual and was reading a novel when she came in. She just walked right up to me and said "Hey Melanie, I like your eyes. Best friends ?"
At first, I hated her guys. I told her she's going to get herself killed but she said no problem. She became my bestie. It took a while before I could warm up to her. She died the day I plan to tell her that She's the best and I love her.
It's so painful that she never heard that from me. I was so selfish that I couldn't notice that she needs me. I can still remember the sentence she says before making stupid decisions. She'll say "It's now or never, moreso you'll only live once"
