So ever since, my family has considered eyes like mine a curse. A curse, of love. or non-love... and because they considered it a curse, my mom's half of the family didn't take to me very well. It seemed like they thought of me as one of those zombies from a horror movie. Except I didn't have to bite you for you to be like me. No toxins in the air unexpectedly turning you after you ?died?. Nope. To them, if you made eye contact or spoke with me for more than 30 seconds, you love life would be doomed to oblivion. So the most I got from them was ?hey daze? while they shielded their eyes trying their best not to make eye-contact. But of course there was the occasional stare of awe. Like I was some random artifact they might never get to see again. My mom and dad always use that old saying ?just ignore them. They're jealous.? and then I'd answer ?oh really? Then why is Sarah chanting 'no guys love daisy'. I'm pretty sure she wants to be loved sometime in her life?. And then mom and dad would be stuck. Unable to give me an answer that would make Sarah seem like the bad person. So after a couple years of conversations like that on the subject, they finally just gave up on trying to convince me that Sarah was wrong. How to describe my cousin Sarah....evil. Yeah that fits pretty good...evil it is. Sarah and I are the same age. Were both sixteen right now. At the time the whole chanting thing started, we were about ten. Her mother, my aunt Gracie, told Sarah the whole thing about my eyes and the 'legend' behind them when we were seven. Because one Christmas, at Gram's house, Sarah kept eying me while i played like a good little seven year old. Just rollin' my new toy monster truck across the floor. Then she rudely interrupted me saying ?why are you such a tom-boy?? ?Why are you so girly?? i replied sharply. ?well...why are your eyes that weird color?? She asked. I simply said ?because I'm not girly?. I truly did not know the answer to her second question. So i just came up with the best answer I could. It seemed reasonable at the time. I mean, i was the only non-girly girl of my cousins.
