Guinea Pig Monologue

I am not very fond of animals. Well, I like animals- do not get me wrong, but I do not know how to take care of them. You see, I am a clumsy person. Honestly, I am. Out of nowhere I am walking, but randomly I am on the floor. I am normal like that. Anyway, I never thought I was going to have a pet, but I did. It was something I did not expected, and it was the best thing I’ve experience. There is a saying that I related a lot, “life is not as we expected”. Yeah, I was not expecting to take care of a guinea pig. Two years after my mom died, my dad officially introduced his girlfriend- no, they are not dating anymore, to my brother, sister, and me. My dad’s ex-girlfriend, Jessica, had a son and a daughter. Her son, Robby, loves guinea pigs. Robby bought a guinea pig. As to this, after one year of dating, Jessica started to live with my family. Since Robby loves guinea pigs, he bought one. Robby was excited to have a guinea pig, while on the contrary, I was annoyed.
By the way, Melody was a girl. When I first saw Melody, she looked like a hamster. I am sorry to say this, but I was confused whether Melody was a hamster or a guinea pig. At first, I was not fond of Melody, but out of nowhere, I started to love her like she was my child. I know, it is dramatic to say coming from a ten years old kid. But I did. I hated everything about Melody, yet loved her. It was like a hate - love relationship.
Scientists says that animals have their own personalities, and I agree. Melody was like an old lady, bitter about life. But not really. Melody liked being alone in a corner. In the corner, she would eat bell peppers. Melody loved bell peppers. It was annoying that everyday I would cut bell pepper just for her, yet it was comforting seeing her eat. It was comforting to see her alive and well. It is like seeing your own child eating. Annoyed that you have to cook everyday, yet being comforted seeing your child
