"Ugh! Can you stop butting in?! Can't you see I'm busy taking with my friends?!"
"Oh... I'm sorry sis..."
As usual... I got scolded again because I wanted to talk with my sister... It's fine I'm used to it... I doesn't hurt... Not at all...
.
.
"So as I was saying--"
"Did you hear about the affair between them~!"
"Oh yeah!! I did...*******"
"...guys..."
"Stop...! Why do you keep talking in between!!"
"Oh... sorry..."
It's fine... I always get ignored by everyone even by my friends... I just wanted to get along with you guys... So why won't you listen to me...?
.
.
"You failed again...?! Ugh! You are such a useless child...! How come I gave birth to you?!"
Mom it's alright... Don't be angry... it's not your fault... I'm sorry for being useless... I wish I was smart too... Like my sister... Like everyone else... At least I would have friends... Maybe then you would start looking at me too...
"Guys! Come on let's go to watch the movie..!"
"Alright--"
"Sorry Raven~! We forgot to count you so we bought only three tickets...! Next time together alright~!"
"...oh..."
Ah... they forgot me again... How many times has this happened... I lost count already... I just gave them a smile and nodded while watching them off. Hold it in... Let's not cry in public...
.
.
"...It hurts... God... I'm sorry... I don't think I can do it anymore... I want to die... Even if that means I will have to go to hell..."
The stars looks beautiful tonight... I watched the night sky while standing on the balcony of our house... As I was about to close my phone suddenly an ad popped up and a man spoke up.
[Are you unhappy~! Then come on! Play My Three Guardians...! A thrilling love story game with battle mode...! A beautiful world with sci-fi stories--]
"A game...? The ad looks good... Shall I give it a try...?"
.
.
The game looked interesting as I clicked the link and played for a while... I forgot about my sadness as I started playing the game...
It was good... beautiful and comfortable... The three love interests of the game would listen to my words... Comfort me... I got addicted... I stopped trying to get the attention of my friends...
I kept to myself as I slowly started distancing myself... Only to realize no one cared about me... Not once did they tried to ask me if I was okay... I gradually realised that I was just a hopeless girl holding onto the hope that they'd come to me..., That thought suddenly stopped me as I looked at my phone...
"... you guys are the same too... You guys love the female lead in the story not the actual user..."
I spoke while looking at the love interests of the game. Out of those three love interests I liked Xavier... He was so naive... kind... and would listen and agree to everything...
"... I envy you..."
I look at the female lead of the game as I shake a bit while wiping off the tears. Her long brown hair and ocean blue eyes while me... A long black hair and black eyes... Like a package full of misfortune... I guess that's why I was named Raven...
"... Unlike me you are beautiful, pretty voice...kind... strong... You have loving parents... You have trustworthy friends..."
She makes me jealous because Xavier likes her and not the real me... But she's too kind to be hated... Ah... I wish... I could see Xavier... and her... With that thoughts and tears flowing I cried myself to sleep.
.
.
.
Ah... It's morning already... The sun is bright... Hm..? Was my room always this big...? Wait this isn't my room...??
I rushed out quickly as a grandma appeared infront of me... and gave a warm smile.
"Oh dear... You are awake...? Sorry if you were startled... I found you on the road unconscious so I brought you in..."
"Ah...I... Grandma where is this place...? I was in my room last night...?"
I was scared... I was confused... So I blabbered out every words I could. She looked at me when concerned face and catches my hands.
"Dear... You are at my house and we are in Livonia district..."
".... Livonia district...?"
Livonia district... Wait... that's... the main city of Laous-377...!! It's the city from the game My Three Guardians... I straggled a bit as the grandma catched me quickly and asked,
"Dear, are you alright...?"
"Yeah... It's just... I remember I was kicked out of house a few days ago..."
I lied...I had no choice but to lie for now... I was still struggling to process everything... The grandma snapped me out of my thoughts as she catches my hands and spoke,
"Dear, why don't you stay with me for the time being...? This old granny is also alone so I don't mind having you here..."
"A- are you sure grandma... You don't even know me.... and... I am pretty stupid... I can't do anything properly..."
"Dear, we can learn everything slowly... Not everyone was born intelligent... Some take time to shine..."
I nodded as she patted my head and left to give some time to myself. I sit down on the bed as I started to piece out everything...
"Let's just... Help grandma for now..."
.
.
I have no choice but to accept my fate...
