When mom and I showed up for the talk about IVF methods, she spoke about me with this overwhelming pride in her voice. I was the one who used IVF and brought Miley into this world. Her case was probably the biggest success back then. Out of nowhere, Sarah, my eternal rival, and her doctor interrupted. Are you sure she's really the best case?
All eyes and cameras turned to Sarah. Even the show host nunched my mom, almost causing her to stumble into me. Mom, let's just go home. What? Can't you see? It's because you're not as good as her that people will down on you. Ugh, mom always does this. She always piles the pressure on me. All because she has to outshine Sarah, a fellow IVF baby who people say turned out even better than me. Hey, my Diary Animated fans? I'm Miley. Everyone calls me special because I was born through IVF. But more than that, it was my mom who actually carried out the procedure to have me. She expects nothing less than perfection from me. I heard that Sarah's doctor. Had once declared war on my mom back in the day. Both were renowned doctors in IVF treatments.
But Sarah's doctor claims Sarah's going to surpass Miley in everything.
Why does Mom force Miley to compete with Sarah in every activity?
Unfortunately, it kinda became true. Sarah's a genius at school. A science nerd, an athlete? Heck, she's even a great swimmer. I never wanted to compete with her, but my mom? To her, it's crucial I beat Sarah at everything. Anytime Sarah's signs up for a competition, you bet my mom has me in it too. Once, Mom made me enter a singing competition hosted by a music company from Korea just because Sarah got invited to audition. The problem was that I couldn't sing if my life depended on it. And dancing? Let's just say I looked like a deranged frog whenever I try. But there I was, on stage, because my mom refused to let me lose to Sarah. Hi there. What talent will you be showcasing? I froze, no idea what to do. In a moment of panic, I blurted out that I was a model.
Yep. Then I proceeded to strike the most awkward poses ever. Let's just say the whole room burst into laughter. Naturally, that gave Sarah the perfect chance to drag me through the mud on the press. I was surprised Miley entered this singing competition with me. She's probably better off sticking to her studies and science. It'd be so much better for her. You know what came next, right? I got an earful from my mother the moment we got home. You can't let people humiliate you like that anymore! From now on, I'm enrolling you in extra classes. But I don't want to take those classes! Of course, my protests fell on deaf ears. Mom signed me up anyway, and to make sure I didn't skip, she'd follow me around like a watchdog.
I lost all my freedom. Thanks to all this, Sarah's friends had plenty of ammo to bully me. Aww, look, it's Mommy's little princess. Don't listen to that girl. She's just jealous because you're going to be better. Just stop it, Mom! I was suffocating, so I decided to call the cops. Yeah, you heard me, right? That day after mom locked me in my room and forced me to finish my assignments, I picked up the phone and dialed the police, telling them she was holding me against my will. But as soon as someone on the other end answered, Hello? Mom snatched the phone for me, smashed it to the ground, and exploded with rage. How dare you do that to me! I'm suffocating in this life. Have you ever listened to what I want?
Why does it always have to be about beating Sarah? So what if I'm not as good a- Her. I'm leaving. I don't want to imagine setting your makeup, then forgetting it's even there.
