Born to be told off
It’s not my fault that I was the last egg hatched. It’s not my fault that I get into trouble all the Damm time. It’s just life. Being hatched out, I didn’t know what to expect. I thought I would be loved like my siblings. But no, I always got told off like I’m the baby. Well, I am the youngest, but I always get blamed.
First off Mom always told us who got hatched first, first was Koko who was always the pretty little princess who wins all the popularity contests. Next was Ozuru who is super smart, he can do sums without any questions asked. Then it was Tazu who is a terrible show off and the main reason I always get into trouble. Oh, how I dislike that stork. Then finally it’s me, Aella, the one who always gets into trouble. The smallest, the ’naughtiest’.
First off, the first years were HELL. The others ganged up on me and destroyed plates and cups. They always made sure I watched and when Mom and Dad come around, they leave and I’m all alone. Guess who gets blamed. Me of course.
It’s always the same saying when I was little “Why do you do those things, we love you but sometimes we don’t like your choices. You need to learn not to smash things.” It makes me groan when I listen, I was always good. It was the others that were the problem. School was ridiculous, even the head stork told me off for stuff I didn’t do. The worst thing I ever done was dropping a seed cake that was supposed to be for Grammy on her 98thyear. I hated all those talks. I was tired of being told off for something I didn’t do.
Then it was secondary school, it was not much better as everyone thinks I am a little ‘troublemaker’ man those idiots. I got into trouble for being late (Which was only because KoKo threw it up to the top of my locker.), I got into trouble when my books become messy (Little tip, Ozuru loves to put my stuff in the mud). Mom and Dad usually say to me at that time was “Aella, you are growing up, being naughty is something I’m growing tired of for years now. Just remember that you’re a good stork, don’t try to be naughty to get popular.”
They never got caught. It’s been years since they tortured me and I had no choice but to move far away, away from my family. They think I’m the bad girl. I had to escape from all that. Now I’m happy. I’m never in trouble. I can be me with no tease. They don’t know where I am and I’m glad. I hope that one day, they’ll say sorry but that hasn’t happened yet.
