Through the eyes of Ng

Chapter 1

“I am telling you mermaids exists” Fave says but the others look at her like she has grown a second head

They argue on and on but I don’t contribute to the matter

Soon enough their noise is beginning to get to me and i start glaring at them

Precious, you know mermaids exists right?

One of them asks me

Great, just Great. Now I’m in the whole chaos

I shift my gaze to everyone of them before plainly saying “yes” and getting back to reading a very interesting novel on my phone which captivated me.

My mono syllabic reply seems to irritate some of my cousins and the youngest comes to snatch my phone

“HEY!” I yelled

But she remains unfazed knowing I couldn’t do anything to her

“Seriously?” I ask raising an eyebrow and she simply replies “yes”

I get aggregated and that’s when I realize ooh that’s how they feel and she was just giving me a taste of my own medicine

Nice ,i smirk

But they misinterpret my gesture yet again!

What are you planning now you evil thing!

I just roll my eyes

Most time’s their reply doesn’t get to me but in some occasions it tears my heart do bad making me bleed emotionally for quite some time

I think it’s sick how i still love them even when i see them as toxic in those moments but I’m sure I’m no saint and must have hurt them too so who am i to judge

These people have been misjudging me for as long as i can remember

They have hurt me deeply countless times and i have never, not of once said

Oh Yh what you said hurt my feelings

Oh no that’s not what i meant

Why? Because the younger me didn’t know how to express and explain herself

I just took the hit looked around the room for any supporters, see none feel crushed and wear a stone mask because I refuse to let them see my tears

Due to these many hurt I preferred staying alone … being with the other kids would eventually result in one mishap or the other

I’m that person who takes the back seat, stay still in the shadows quietly watching others be happy while it warms my soul

However the thing about my family is that they consider those kind of people sadists of some sort

Argh

It’s annoying simply explaining it i tell ya

I sit up and shift my gaze to all three of them one after another

“So what are you guys talking about?” I ask just to annoy them and it works so well

Fave looks like she is about to explode

Eliza is so shocked like can’t believe her ears and

Gem could throw my phone at me any moment from now(i pray not thou, I don’t have money to fix it if it break and I definitely don’t want to feel the pain of it coming in contact with my body)

“Hey don’t get me wrong I know it’s mermaid stuff but I don’t know what lead to it” i tell them just to diffuse the tension a little

“so Why are you looking at me like that” i add still acting innocent

Fave groans

“You know it’s very annoying when people are speaking to you and you don’t pay attention”

At this point, all I wanted to do at this point is tell them off or something because they do it too making me feel like a boring person but I remain silent and stare at her knowing she would continue because she wants to win the mermaid argument

“Why do you think they exist” Eliza asks

And i sigh knowing I just entered a debate

We’ll because i saw a documentary on discovery family and science with evidence doesn’t lie right?

“So you’re telling me that Ariel is somewhere in the seven sea’s and sofia really did meet her huh?” She asks with a smug look on her face which i so badly want to hit

Cheap shot Eliza , Cheap shot

Everyone knows my love for disney is sky high, soon I’ll be an adult but I don’t see the love changing… only the amount of time I spend watching it

“Eliza, true they don’t look as glamorous as disney presents them to be because let’s face it , disney is all about happy endings and they make everything better but they do exist. They look scary with their webed fingers and their side looks like that of a shark then their skin looks like yours will if you are soaked in water for hours and covered with grim”

“Ewwww” we didn’t have yo look to know that it was princess Gem who said that

“There’s even this thing called the bloop signature I think, it’s an unindented sound of a mysterious sea creature suspected to be mermaids ”

“That’s your only proof?”

I turn to see Eliza wearing that smug look again, she really dies love taunting me doesn’t she?
