Called last name or surname.
"carmen.~" mom walked into my room. "yes mother." I push my chair away from my desk. "me and your father are going to a musical tonight." she says. I look her up and down, realizing she was dressed all fancy. "what about melody?" I ask. since melody is two years older than me, she has to work harder on all the music. "she is staying home to watch over you, and studying the notes." She drags out the and. "I'm 15, I don't need a baby sister." I complain, Crossing my arms over my chest. "whatever you say." she giggles as she heads over. " you have school tomorrow!" She says walking down the hall. I roll my eyes and look back at my computer.
She thinks I'm the same as melody? not at all. Melody is loud, a trouble maker, and crazy. I'm the silent, loner in the corner.
"CARMEN!!!" melody burst into my room sliding with her hands in the air. "are they gone?" I try seeing their car out the window. "Of course. I would be dead for screaming in here." she puts her hand on her waist. she stairs at me. "what?" I ask confused. "Your hair looks like it's turning grey." she squints and starts to laugh. "It's a grey navy blue!" I yell at her. She has normal black hair like our dad. My hair color is from our great grandmother. Mom has grey hair at her roots but dyes it to cover it up. I turn back to my computer and sigh. "Are you having a party tonight?" I ask. she stops laughing. "Nooooo. I'm just having my boyfriend over." she smiles from ear to ear. "Oh my god~ he hasn't been here in soo long." she twirls around. "He came here last week." I complain. Tomorrow is Monday, making it almost a full week. "You know I don't give a sh*t right." She starts to walk out of my room, she pulls the door behind her.
I get back to my computer. I've been writing down notes about what mom told me. when I'm on the piano she says different things about the piece that I need help with. I keep them in my mind after and type them.
Instruments are interesting. In the dictionary it has around 4 meanings to it. In our house we have a lot of them. Alone I can play the piano, flute, guitar, violin, and cello. melody can play a little bit more but forgets everything. As well as her name is melody meaning a sequence of single notes that is musically satisfying. Music. While Carmen comes from everywhere, making the final meaning god's vineyard. I like the name carmen though, It just doesn't fit with my family.
