Chapter 2
About Melody Veslan
(Melody's Narrator)
Hi, I'm Melody Veslan and I'm fifteen years old. I'm the third youngest sibling in the family, which in fact I don't really like because I get bossed around a lot. I'm one of the struggler's of the crisis that happened in MY family. Even though I don't really remember some parts to the struggle, I still was in the crisis and remember some of the other parts to it. Well, Clarke is asking me to talk about myself, well I will. In fact, I will after I say something. This "nightmare" of the family was horrible, and throughout the horrible events my family and me had was one thought, that this family won't overcome the "nightmare", but, gladly, we DID!!! I'm so happy that the crisis was over because it lasted for about five through six years, and in the middle of it, well, I thought that one of us will die. Well, I like many things. Listed below, are the things I like.
I like my school friends that are my age. Most of my friends have known of what happened to my crisis, heard of it, or was part of it. In fact, if it wasn't for the crisis, I wouldn't be that popular as I'm today. I wasn't that popular when this didn't happen. I'm not saying that this crisis was good but it did have some rewards. For example, it DID get me popular, or I DID get interviewed, or another thing: presents. I DID get a lot of presents from neighbors, strangers, or some people from other countries because they felt sorry for my family. Probably my favorite present that I got, was a game called HorseOpoly. It's a game that involves horses, my favorite animal. I also like decorating art. This is a type of art that I made up. It consists of any drawing. You could draw from shapes to animals. This type of art is really on the type of mood you are in. If it's dark, then it shows that you are in a mad mood. If it has dark and light colors, then it shows that you're in an ok mood. If its light colors, well, its self explanatory. I also love graph drawings. It's a type of drawings where you find a picture, graph it, get a piece of paper, graph it the same way, and draw. It's a more realistic way of drawing. I also don't like not so many things.
I don't like a small amount of things. I don't like my annoying younger brother, Jamercy. He teases me how stupid I'm, how I go to small group in my class, how I need a lot of attention because teachers found out that I have dyslexia. I also don't like my school principal, Mr. Smithson because he is SO stupid. He is mean, doesn't do his job right, well, just plain annoying, more annoying than Jamercy. I don't like an eighth grader, who goes to my school. She calls me her "queen" for some reason. I'm not going to say her name, you'll soon find her name out from the story anyway. Though, I won't say right now, because I don't want to be that mean. Writing someone else's name in a book is kind of mean, in MY opinion. So I'll just maybe think of just another name instead of saying her real name. I also don't like the subject History because it's so boring. My History teacher, Ms. Levington is nice, but she teaches her class in a boring sort of way. She's like, Now lets just take out our textbooks, class. I'm going to assign you to read thirty pages in class and answer like forty-five questions. At home I want you to finish the rest if you didn't finish. If you're done, I'll give you a pop quiz. If you're not, you'll get a quiz tomorrow, in a low, slow tone. Well, it's true. I don't like how we get quizzes every single, stupid day. Every other day, we have to read like thirty to forty pages and then answer many more questions. The next day, there's a quiz on it with no WARNING. I just hate that. There's a way that this book works.
This book is different from many other books. When people talk, the words are in italics like that. I don't know why, just Clarke said that we have to do it that way. I mean, I kind of like this way because the book is different from many other books, but it's harder to understand because it's unusual. Also, if the narrators, which will be me or Clarke will interrupt a part of a chapter, when we will, we will skip a line and put brackets around what we are saying. Well, now my brother, Robot wants to say something in his chapter, so I guess I should give him the laptop, so bye.
