I opened my eyes to see the world but I don't understand anything because I lived in the dark for almost nine months. People are being happy just looking at me but I don't understand a single thing as to why they were happy. Going back to a deep slumber, I wake up getting conscious of things and try to remember. In a blink, I am now four years old. I run around and play like a toddler since I am so playful, it is hard for me to sit and study the alphabet and numbers, so I get scoldings from my mom. On the other side, my dad is least bothered about me because I am just a little guy.
14 years later
I slowly didn't like people around me so I stayed as far as I could. As I started to behave that way, I came to realize that people were least bothered about my life. Even if they are not bothered about me, can't they just quickly take a glance at me or smile at me out of politeness?
'Yay!!! This is the first day in my university, I'm going to rock the whole place with full confidence,' Ethan Nixon looked at the mirror as he perfected his uniform. Though he is going to a university, he was forced to wear a uniform.
'I'm going to get bullied at university.' thought Ethan.
But when he got inside my class, he was surprised to see that no one recognized me. 'Do I really have a body? Am I really invisible in people's eyes? But how could I get caught yesterday during the exam?’
Thinking that he went to my bench and silently sat. 'I am now 18 and I am not recognized by anyone? I thought that I am the most handsome person in this university because I noticed no one else more handsome than me.
'But what went wrong?'
The teacher came to the class and everything went smoothly. I really wanted to get to know people and have a normal lifestyle as any other student would have. Though my parents are strict, they are busy nowadays so there is no one to inspect me and to keep watch over me because they are too busy to even have dinner with me.
But I will never forget when I was a small child, they used to be strict with me always including my dad Leighton Nixon. Though he looks indifferent, he always notices my every move and he will stock up each and every single mistake that I make, and one fine day he will release everything on me.
That day will be my 'black death day' the day which I am most scared of. It happens only once every month. Whereas my mom Ingrid, though she is a lovely lady, would often scold me for getting zero marks in my tests. That was really a torture living in the house with my parents. Even now I am bound but the situation now is better than three years before.
But the thing that I need to be vigilant is to the wrath of my parents when they come to know about my academics. The problem is that instead of the hell torture once a month, it is delayed to once in six months. Now it is the 13th month, I escaped the blow for nearly 13 months.
I have no idea when I will get the hell of torture. But I need to make one thing clear, that is I have a lovely sister Cassandra. She is so lovely and a wise elder sister. Only because of her I am able to survive in this house. If not for her, I would have been beaten to death by my dad. Cassandra, though she is naughty and playful, would always support me because I am her handsome little brother.
Thinking of the incident happening at university and home I am quite confused about their weirdness. Or…. has something happened to me? Even my sister is ignoring me nowadays…. What if daddy is furious and beats me to death…. Am I going to die?? Sister… please don't do this to me… I don't want to die early. Where is the dad that I know of when I was four years old???
'But wait how could I not think of this thing... if I'm invisible to anyone then it means that I will be invisible to my dad and mom right? How good of me heehaahaaa….'
The classes were no different and students mostly slept in class as the lectures were too boring. And I was the most attentive boy in the class but the teacher did not notice me. She just taught the lesson.
My doubt is… for whom is the teacher teaching? Can't she see that the rest of the students are sleeping and I am the only good boy in the whole class? Is she blind? I really want to test this teacher and see if she could even see me but not today.
There are three more minutes for this university to get over… finally I can go home to sleep. This place is totally weird. The bell finally rang. 'I waited for this moment for eight long hours' I quickly grabbed packed my bag and ran out of this university. 'Who in the world would like this kind of weird place?'
After exiting my university, I walked slowly to my home because I really did not like to waste my energy. After all, sitting straight and attentively at university sucked up my energy so why should I even care to waste it by running home? Anyway, there will be no one at home waiting for me.
If only there was a dog, it would be loyal these humans are crazy sometimes. Wait… what am I even thinking? I am human too…. How dare I think so foul about humans. But indeed, they are crazy because they are not able to see me.
On reaching home, Ethan went and stood before the mirror. My face looks fine I am the most handsome man ever how could they even not see me nor look how handsome I am? Does anyone know how much effort I put in just to make my face look handsome? Instead of going to the gym and wasting money, I took many part-time jobs and did hard chores to maintain my body perfect and earn money.
