When I finally got home, I had almost forgotten about the science fair.
But no, my parents wanted to know everything. There was nothing wrong with that except..
the fact that.. There was EVERYTHING wrong with that! I had my hopes and dreams shattered and they wanted me to tell them.
So, I lied.
"How did things go at the science fair?" my mom asked.
"Just great." I said, trying not to cry.
Crying makes you look ugly, crying makes you look ugly, was playing in my head over and over again.
I excuse myself from the living room and go to my room before I can start tearing up.
I get into bed, even though it's only 5:00 pm in the evening. Might as well skip dinner. I was too sad to eat. I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
"Ana, you've failed me!" I hear my teacher say. Suddenly, I see him. He looks at me in disappointment.
"You failed everyone... me, your parents, your classmates and the Empress."
"You're a failure, Ana. That's all you will ever be."
"Ana.. Ana..."
I wake up, gasping for breath.
My parents walked into my room.
"Ana, are you ok? Is something wrong? It's okay, you can tell us. We're your family after all."
"No, I'm fine."
Again another lie. I feel bad for lying, but if they found out, they would be so disappointed.
And I didn't want that.
Hii! I didn't have anything to say as an authors note at the beginning. Again another short chapter.. I feel like I'm not challenging myself enough. It will be a short story (kind of) there will be more than 5 chapters but less than 10 chapters. Again please leave and review and like! I value everyone's feedback. I accept comments, suggestions and questions! I will respond in any way possible! Most via authors notes. Suggestions if I like them I will try to work them into the story.
