Mom Is Jealous Of My Skin

03/01/23 • 12 min

Hi! I'm Chloe! I was born to the smartest mom in the world, Mrs Nikki. As a child alone she won multiple awards because of how genius she was and had her own law firm at 22. Everyone expected I would be smart like her. But instead of books, I loved music, and this made mom very angry.

There was this time when I was six, and my Grandma got me a mini guitar as my birthday present. I played with it all the time and found it difficult to do my homework.

Mom This is crazy!!! You should have gotten her books as a present!

Dad But you already did that.

Mom This guitar is making her not to focus on what is important. Everyone is laughing at me for giving birth to a child that's the complete opposite of me.

Chloe But mom, it makes me happy.

Mom That's not the point! If you dont have straight A's, you're going to be a broke adult, like your uncle!

Uncle was mom's brother who hadn't done too well in school as mom had. I thought he was living fine, but mom always spoke bad of him. Infact mom was always nasty to people, except clients who paid her lots of money and her only friend Mariam.

Mariam was nice, but her son was not. Even though we knew each other from babyhood, he was just a meanie.

In class, he scored straight A's while I struggled to have B's, and he would always look down on me for it.

I Didn't Know Males Exist

Hi! My name is Tazi and I was raised by apes.

When I was 8 years old I have vague memories of being brought to this island by my human parents. I don’t know why they were here, but all I know is that they never survived. One night, a jaguar came into our shelter and killed them. I would’ve been jaguar food next, if it weren’t for the apes.

One ape, I call her Ma, suddenly appeared and defeated the jaguar before it could eat me. Ma then found me, just a little girl, all alone, and decided to take me in.

I’ve been living with the apes ever since. We don’t have a language like humans do, but we communicate through body movement. And since I was 8 years old when I was taken in by the apes, I could still speak some English, though not very well.

It was tough adapting into this new life. I remember one time they were teaching me how to swing from tree to tree, and as I let go of the branch it snapped and I nearly fell to my death, but Ma quickly jumped forward and rescued me. It’s taken a lot of getting used to, but now, at 16 years of age, the apes have become my family and I have become less of a human and more of an ape.

Once my family started to trust me, they revealed to me something very special about them. Their hair is as strong as steel. For real. You could shoot an arrow at their back and it would not break through their hair armour. Because of this I’d always felt self-conscious since I didn’t have the same impenetrable hair as them on my body, but Ma always made sure I felt included.

I Can’t Stop Growing

Hi! My name is Hailey and I am from Georgia. I have always been a good looking girl. Even in kindergarten. The girls in my class had always been jealous of my looks. Especially Julissa, my rival since childhood. She was that rich and spoiled girl that everyone hates. How did our rivalry start? Well... It happened when we were in kindergarten.

“Hey. Can I play with that?”

“No. Get your own doll!”

She thought she was so cool. Flexing her limited edition toys.

“You know it wouldn’t hurt to share. You’re mean,”

As I said that out loud, everyone agreed with me and called her mean too. and since then, Julissa was always trying to get back at me. She always used to flaunt her money, driving home in a Tesla, having the latest edition of clothes, gadgets and what not. But she couldn’t beat me in terms of looks. See, I was the cutest one around, with long shiny black hair and brown eyes. I was taller than her as well. In fact, my height was perfect and very mature compared to the girls around me. By fourth grade, all the boys in my class had a crush on me.

But sadly, my parents didn’t allow me to have a boyfriend.

“You can not start dating until you reach high school,”
