Irene Belserion was a senior in high school but she wasn't your normal senior student getting ready for the part of life.
She was an Honor Roll student but unlike most seniors Irene didn't have friends to hang out with and she wasn't in any clubs. She was often alone doing what she wanted. Her teachers didn't pay much attention to her, they only saw her as a silent promising student.
Irene had a little sister, Erza Belserion. Erza was a freshman in high school and just like her sister she was an Honor Roll student. Erza was different from Irene, she had friends and was part of the Fairy Tail club that was for girls.
During the last class of the school day Erza got out her phone and saw that her mother had texted her.
Your father and I will be home late. There is money in your account for you to have dinner.
Erza nodded to herself knowing that her mother only sent money into her account. She didn't understand why her parents never paid much attention to Irene.
When school was over Erza rushed to get to the hallway that her sister would sneak into when leaving large crowds.
She soon spotted Irene walking alone down the stairs then rushed after her.
"Big sis."
Irene looked over her shoulder.
"What?"
"Want to walk home together? We can stop somewhere to get dinner for tonight."
Irene frowned knowing instantly what happened.
"No. Walk with your friends and leave me alone."
She turned to leave again but Erza went with her.
"Please, Irene."
Irene frowned again.
"Fine, but I'm not talking to you."
Erza smiled then they both left the school grounds and began heading home.
As they walked in silence Irene could feel her little sister just staring at her. That was something she hated with passion. At the same time there was nothing that she could do about it.
Erza was the favorite daughter of their family while she was the outcast. Their parents only cared for Erza while Irene had to fend for herself. Her parents only kept her because they couldn't have another child after Erza was born so in the family Erza was the princess while Irene was the servant.
To be honest Irene hated her parents with passion way more than she hated being stared at. She wasn't sure what to think about Erza. To be honest Erza was the only family that cared for her but since their parents were around so much it was kind of hard to see. However when it was just them Erza would show her true colors to Irene, such as wanting to walk with her, have dinner with her. Erza just wanted to be with Irene.
Irene just viewed it as a waste of time since Erza couldn't be that way around her when their parents were around so then she just remained quiet as they walked home.
When they got home Irene went straight to her room while Erza just stayed downstairs.
Erza sat at the table alone with her head resting in her hands.
She just didn't understand it. She knew that her parents loved her but for some odd reason they wouldn't show that same affection to her older sister. They only saw Erza as the perfect daughter but to Erza she hated it. She couldn't bring herself to say that because Irene would get upset then their parents would blame Irene saying that she's nothing more than a burden.
Unlike their parents Erza was well aware that her sister was an Honor Roll students who never got into trouble and she had straight A's. For Erza, she honestly looked up to Irene as a role model. Though if anyone else were to find out they would ask Erza what the reason was.
Erza then saw her sister coming down and turned the TV on.
The TV showed another report of two people being killed near the Sevrhan Hotel.
Erza wasn't sure why but she had noticed that whenever there was a report of someone getting kidnapped or killed she would glance at Irene only to see that Irene would have a blank expression. Erza wondered what her older sister thought so then she went to Irene and sat next to her on the couch.
"Sis?"
Irene didn't looked at her.
"What?"
"Is something wrong?"
"Just thinking."
"About what?"
Whenever it was just them Erza longed to bond with her older sister, even if it was a small talk. She looked at Irene who still had the blank expression on her face.
"It's just that the news only mention about people who were killed near the Sevrhan hotel. I wonder why such a lovely hotel would be the main place for so many murders."
Irene then turned and went into the kitchen. She came out moments later with something to eat then left back upstairs. Erza wasn't sure what her sister was getting at but she knew not to question it.
Later that night when their parents got home Erza went to their room.
"Mother, Father?"
Her mother smiled at her.
"Yes Erza, darling?"
Erza knew that what she was going to ask would be a hard subject but she felt that she deserved to know.
"How come you had me?"
"What do you mean?"
Erza took a seat on the bed next to her mother.
"How come you only care for me but you both don't show that same attention for Irene. Irene is your first child, after all."
Erza wasn't too surprised to see her parents just looking at each other, then her father spoke.
"You see, Erza. You're nothing like your sister."
"What do you mean?"
"Your sister doesn't have a plan for her life so we can't do anything for her. You on the other hand have goals to reach and that's why your mother and I agreed to have you in advance classes."
Her mother nodded.
"If Irene had a small idea on what she wanted in life then we would have done the same for her. In fact we don't even know what her grades are but we know for a fact that you have over a 3.5 GPA."
Erza looked away.
"So if Irene had a plan for her life then you both would have shown her the same attention that you have for me?"
"Yes."
Erza nodded then left out of the room. After closing the door behind her she stopped in her tracks when she saw Irene standing in the hallway, it was clear that she had heard everything.
"Sister?"
Irene left back into her room leaving Erza in the hallway.
As Irene was in her room she sat on her bed then stared at the floor.
"I can't do this anymore."
Irene laid on her bed and went to sleep in sadness.
