I Am Just an Average Girl
No:3
Those kinds of incidents are not new to me. I am really used to it.
It's not like I am that ugly... It's just... The people around me are too beautiful or talented... And I am not like them...

I am just an average girl...
Is there something wrong with being average?
Some people say... "Leora is so lucky to be around them".
Only I know how it's feel like...
Some people ask my parents...
"Mr and Mrs Erickson, In your five children, Older twins are so popular and the younger twins are so talented with their IQ level, Why is the middle one so ordinary? Is there anything which she is good at?"
My parents just laugh awkwardly and avoid that question...
Some people don't even know that I exist in that house...
Well... It's only natural... In front of diamonds which shines brightly, an ordinary stone which emits small lights goes unnoticed...
Even my parents sometimes won't notice me... I know. It's not their fault.
I am just not worth it. And I am used to it.
People notice me as,
"Leon's younger sister".
"Leona's younger sister."
"Nora's friend"
What's more hurting is when...
Leon Erickson.(Fl's elder brother)
Don't tell anyone that you are my younger sister, or it will affect my image badly. And Don't appear in front of my friends or Classmates.
Leona Erickson.(Fl's elder sister)
When we see each other in college or outside, Act like we don't know each other.
Lucas Erickson (fl's younger brother)
You, Don't come to pick us up next time from school.
Lucy Erickson. (fl's younger sister)
Mommy, Next time let Sister Leona or Brother Leon pick us up. Our friends want to see them...
Likith Erickson. (Fl's mother)
Okay okay...
*Chuckles*
Even though people approach me and ask, "Aren't you Leona's younger sister? Can I ask you something? Does your big sis have a boyfriend? What's her ideal type? "
"Can you help me woo your big brother?"
"Will you give me your friend's number?"
etc...
At first, it didn't bother me... But....
When...
There was a guy, I liked for a long time... My first love.
I Didn't dare to say it to anyone. Not even to my best friends.
He is a way out of my reach... I could never reach him... I know that more than anyone else.
So I buried those feelings inside me... Safely...
Still... I almost let it out one day...
When... When I saw him everywhere I went, to be exact, my friends and I went... My delusional mind thought...
Is he, perhaps... here... To... See... Me?
I felt so happy...
Only when I realized that, reality hit me harder...
His eyes were not looking at me. It was for the popular person next to me.
I was just being delusional.
"Wake up you fool", I told myself.
"Others will laugh at you if they know this."
I am also a person.
I am also a girl...
I am tired of being the "extra" in others stories. Everyone has their own story, For me too.
I am fed up with everything, Everyone.
Now I just wanted to move away from here.
Move to somewhere where people identify me as Leora. Leora Erickson. Not as someone's sister or someone's friend.
I have found a way.
Right now, I am working hard for a Scholarship provided by my college to study abroad. Only, the student who score the highest marks will get it. I will definitely earn it no matter what. And move away from everyone. Who doesn't give me any respect.

Good luck to me .🤞🏻
