Ten Things I Hate About My Life.
I hate my oldest brother Leon; he has been such a bastard. He stole my diary and read it out to some of his stupid friends.
My Doberman Zeus and Husky Artemis keep barking out of my window attracting unwanted attention
I am a very ugly girl with a very bad hair problem.
My sister has been telling everyone how my boobs go up and down when I run.
I have this enormous spot on my bum.
I just moved into an unknown area.
My parents never listen to me.
My cat Aries has shitted somewhere in the kitchen.
My mum can't cook yet she insists on cooking for us.
One of my brother's friends is stalking me.
Leon is the worst brother any girl could have, he is annoying, spoilt and thinks he is the ultimate gangster going to rapping competitions and always threatening he will shoot me someday like what kind of a psycho is he?
He recently 'borrowed' my diary and read it out to his creepy mates! Now they all know I have a spot on my bum, which I will get to later.
Zeus and Artemis keep barking at all their doggy friends through my bedroom window. We had the police come to our house because one of the neighbours complained about the noise.
But apart from that we had a hippy come to our door saying that our 'doggy dudes rock, their tune is groovy!' which freaked me out because if a hippy turning up at your front door isn't enough to give you a fright then try a hippy turning up at your front door in the middle of the night and seeing your dad in his underwear! (Not the hippy's underwear his own!)
All of number three is true, I am a very ugly girl, I don't even know how I could have been born. My hair is the worst out of all my problems, it sticks out in odd directions and when I take a shower (everyday) it gets all frizzy and horrible.
My little sister is the worst pain, at my old house in Malaysia I had this boy, he was totally buff and I liked him a lot, I liked him enough to let my family meet him... BIG mistake.
Flashback
'Are you ready?' I asked the tall dark and handsome boy in front of me.
'As ready as I'll ever be,' Harvey replied, he had a slight Filipino accent.
We walked in through the enormous mahogany front door into the entrance hall were our butler was waiting. I could just see Rika's head on the landing above us and knew from the evil glint in her eyes she was going to do something bad.
My parents came in soon after Leon and Rika introduced them selves to Harvey.
Dinner went by really slowly and I hated every minute of it, at least Harvey was settling in well with my parents, or so I thought.
Once dinner was over I dragged Harvey out of the dining room and off to mine. Just when I thought it was over it happened, we were walking up the stairs and as usual I wasn't paying much attention to where I was going. I lifted one foot but missed the step and with a look of fright toppled over on top of Harvey and we both fell down the marble staircase.
If that wasn't bad enough when we both recovered from the fall my little dear sister came to make the kill.
'My sissy's boobies go up and down when se wans!' With a satisfied look on her face she walked away leaving me with a braking relationship on my hands.
Harvey just stared at me with his hand on his head where he had been rubbing the sore spot but seemed to freeze at the moment my sister had finished.
'Look Leilah, I think I should be going now,' Harvey said finally as he got up.
I watched him leave my house, my heart broken by the family I hate so much!
End of Flashback.
I have heard of having spots on your face because many if not all of us have faced it sooner or later through our lifetime, but have you ever heard of getting a spot on your bum?!?
I certainly haven't. Thing is I HAVE ONE! The worst part is I've tried everything to get rid of it but it is still there, huge ugly red spot. I read in some magazine that girls with high hormonal problems are likely to get spots not only on their faces.
I'll give them hormonal problems if they don't quit writing that crap!
I am officially alone; since we moved here the only person near my age turns out to be some creepy perverted cute boy! How sad am I, my first encounter with life in this Japanese world turns out to be a pervert.
I really am unlucky.
I am sooo dreading my first day in school and it's coming up faster than I can pick an outfit! I heard the school is pretty cool, its new and fresh with a lot of new equipment.
I guess my life would a bit simpler if for once my parents listened to me, but no, they have to be the old and wise ones who know everything about everything and I have a peanut for a brain.
I think my parents consider themselves as gods, Rika, Leon and me are servants I guess who no nothing, we just live to be ruled. Not a chance mummy and daddy, if they want something to rule over then this is why we have pets but then again they don't like to be ruled either.
Last time daddy went on a walk with Zeus he was pulled half way down the street in the dirt then when he finally managed to get hold of Zeus, Zeus pushed him into a puddle. Ever since that day my dad has refused to take Zeus or Artemis for walks.
My cat Aries is no better; since we moved in to the new mansion he hasn't settled in very well. Aries walks around the house with a face as if something he dearly loved just died.
Because he is sad he wants all of us to feel his pain. Yesterday he hid behind one of the long curtains in the entrance hall and as Leon walked by he pounced at his leg biting it with all his mite.
But he has really out done himself with his latest stunt. We know he has shitted somewhere in the kitchen but we have no clue where. You can smell it but you can't see it. The worst part is, whenever we cook in the kitchen we have to be careful to make sure we don't by accident drop his shit in what ever we are cooking.
It's really freaky.
But then again thinking about it, maybe it would taste better than anything my mum 'cooks'. My mum even managed to burn a ready made lasagne, all she had to do was put in the microwave but no she always knows better so she put it in the oven were it burnt. I went to bed hungry that night.
My house is so freaky; I never get an ounce of normality in here. Leon has already started school so he is out of the way most of the time but when he comes home with his so-called mate, that's when the freakiness starts.
Recently he made friends with a complete psycho, ok he is all right looking but he is just really weird. His name is Enrique and were ever I go he is there watching me. It's really becoming a problem because just the other day I came out of the shower and found him on the other side of the door trying to screw a hole in the door so he could look in!
How freaky is that?!?
Well that's all for now, I have to go out now worst of all with my brother.
'Hello?' I answered the phone to find a girl on the other end.
'Hey Kai!' The girl said cheerfully.
'Who is this?' I replied in a bored voice.
'Who is this? Who is this?!? Its me Meriah!' you could feel that she had a frown on her face.
'What do you want?' I continued in an even more bored voice.
'Uhhh... well have you heard about the new girl in town?'
Have I heard of her? Yes god dammit I have heard of her! I met her also but now she thinks I'm a bloody pervert! I obviously didn't say that to Meriah but I thought it.
'Yeah, she came for dinner a couple of days ago,'
'Really?!? Oh my god!!! Is she pretty or ugly?' Meriah continued the questions.
'She's pretty, wait what do you want? I'm not going to gossip with you like a girl, you have Hilary and Max for that!'
'Hey! Don't call Max a girl!' She pouted, 'Well Ray, Max, Hilary, Tyson, Johnny, Enrique and me are going to go meet her at the mall today.'
'So?' I said not paying much attention to the phone call anymore.
'Well, do you want to come?'
'Why do you need me?' I asked confused.
'Well you met her so you can say hi to her and introduce her to us.'
'Why do you want to meet her so much?'
'Because Enrique says that she is really really pretty and I want to ask her for her beauty secrets!' Meriah continued entering her dreamland of beauty.
'Meriah, Enrique is friends with her brother so why don't you get him to introduce you?'
'We already thought of that, she doesn't really like Enrique because he keeps sort of stalking her.' Meriah managed to say through a fit of giggles. 'Kai I wouldn't come to you unless I was desperate!'
'Thanks Meriah, that really makes you sound like a friend,' I said sternly.
'Oh sorry Kai but that is the truth, please come!' Meriah began to plead.
'Meriah, I'm not exactly on her good side,'
'Oh come on, it couldn't get that bad over one dinner!' She continued.
'But...' I never managed to finish.
'Kai your meeting us at eleven tomorrow in the main entrance to the mall ok?' Meriah ordered before putting the phone down.
Great! Tomorrow will be fun!
'Leilah come on we need to go!' Leon called up the stairs. 'I still don't get it why dose she have to come with?' Leon directed the question at my mum.
'Leon she need to buy some new things for school and I don't have to worry about her getting into trouble with you around.' Mum answered not taking her eyes of the computer screen were she was writing one of her many reports.
'What kind of trouble could SHE get into?' Leon continued annoyed.
'Leon she is coming with you if you like it or not! If you refuse I'll take your savings for that trip to Brazil you want so much and give them to your sisters!' Mum threatened now looking straight into Leon's eyes.
'Fine!' Leon gave up the fight and walked out of the door me at his heel.
It didn't take long to get to the mall especially as Leon was driving like a lunatic at 90mph!
As soon as we got inside the mall Leon walked of with his friends leaving me alone. He will pay for that later.
I noticed a girl with pink hair and one with brown were staring at me, CAN'T PEOPLE STOP LOOKING AT ME? Do I have a big sign on top of my head saying 'Hi I'm Leilah feel free to stare at me for as long as you like!
I continued to walk on into a shop that sold clothes and shoes, this should be interesting.
I heard there was a party I was invited to but I didn't even know the person who was having it. Looking down at the invitation it said:
Name: Leilah and Leon De Torres
Invited By: Mariah Chan
Invited to: Mariah's 18th Birthday Party.
Date: 29th August 2004
Time: 8:00pm
Place: Phoenix Plaza, 26 Rodebrew Lane.
Note: Hope you can come! Looking forward to seeing both of you there!
Who is this Meriah? Sad thing is I'm going, my mother has forced me because she doesn't think I get out much! Can you believe it? I'm out of he house everyday and she still thinks I don't get out much!
But hey I got some extra cash to buy a new outfit so I guess it isn't all bad.
Once I finally walked out of the shop about an hour later I was satisfied that I would look perfect. The outfit consisted of a short jean mini skirt with a mini black tee-shirt that showed of my stomach, a denim blue jacket over that and some knee high black high heeled boots.
All that shopping made me hungry so all alone I went to a near by café were I ordered a milk coffee and a croissant. Ahhh nice and peaceful at last...
'Hi'
Spoke to soon. I looked up to find not one person but a whole gang.
'Hi' the girl repeated, she was the same girl that was staring at me before at the entrance to the mall. She had pink hair that was wrapped in a ponytail with a pink ribbon.
'Hi' I replied slightly confused.
'I'm Meriah Chan, I see you got my invitation,' the girl continued looking down at the invitation that lay on the table in front of me.
'Yeah I got it, and you already seem to know my name,' I replied with a smile.
'So you are coming?' She asked, the rest of her gang stood behind her listening to the conversation.
'Yeah I think so,' I replied taking a sip of my coffee, which was becoming cold.
'Good,' Meriah replied now a huge grin on her face.
One of the boys's coughed to remind Meriah that they were still there.
'Oh right, sorry this is Hilary,' Meriah said pointing at the brown haired girl I had seen her with before.
'The boy with blonde hair is Max, cap is Tyson, red hair is Tala, black hair is Ray, brown is Johnny and you already know the last two, Enrique and Kai.' Meriah said and in turn all said hi to me.
KAI!! The pervert is back! What is he going to do this time? Make me get on the table and dance for him? Oh no no no, I will kick his sorry ass if even dares to look at me.
Damn he is looking at me...
Ok, if he tries to get close to me, yeah that one!
'Hey Meriah we gotta go,' said a boy with a yin and yen red bandana on his head by the name of Ray.
'Oh right, do you want to come? We could give you a lift home.' Meriah asked in a sweet voice.
'Err... Ok I guess' I replied after having a look if my brother was anywhere near so he could save me.
All nine of us left the mall together, Ray, Johnny, Tala and me at the back, Tyson and Max in front of us and Meriah, Hilary and Leilah right in front chatting away.
Leilah was fitting in well; Meriah and Hilary already loved her before they met her so that must be a good sign.
Thing is, when Meriah said my name and Leilah's honey coloured eyes met mine I new exactly what she was thinking...
The pervert is back!
I really need to talk to her. This is it...
I walked up to Leilah and her new palls.
'Hey Leilah, can I talk to you for a second?' all eight heads were on me; damn I hate being the centre of attention!
I watched Leilah think it over, she is going to say no, fucking hell I really had to say that didn't I?
Slowly Leilah nodded her head and followed me away from the group and to my car.
'Look, I just want to say...sorry for what I said,' I sighed straight after saying it.
Why is Leilah staring at me like that? It is really wired, I said I was sorry.
I looked to find Leilah was smiling, the jumped on top of me and gave a hug.
'Its ok Kai, and thanks.' I didn't have time to ask her why she was thanking me because she was already running back to the other girls.
I just noticed something... she has a nice but!
I hate my oldest brother Leon; he has been such a bastard. He stole my diary and read it out to some of his stupid friends.
