A week or two passes, and before I knew it, the monthly dinner is here.

"Miss... Please wake up. Your father wouldn't be quite happy." Hilda, the maid assigned to assist me and drama, opens the blinds while I screech at the sunlight.

"He is never happy when it comes to me." I complain, nuzzling my face against my pillow.

"I'll leave your dress here, Miss. Your grandfather may not react too badly." She then leaves the room.

"Yeah, like– hOLy shIT, GRANDPAPA." I scream, falling off the bed as my bum meets the carpeted floor harshly. I pay no mind as I make my way to the bathroom to start a bath.

Opening my phone, I raise a brow to see messages from Ayato.

» ayabitch

» arumeribitch

my aesthetic ugh, pls murder me

Poking a finger into the bath, I decided that it was warm enough for my taste. Removing my oversized shirt and my undergarments, I slowly get into the bath. Grabbing my phone, I wait for a reply.

» ayabitch
lol i would but im having a dinner at my place too monthly dinner as my stoopid brother says

Brother? What?

Getting lazy to type, I press the call button.

"Yo." Ayato's voice was heard out loud as I put it on speaker mode.

"Hey, fucktard, you never told me you had a brother!" I chuckled, placing my phone in a nearby table as I grabbed shampoo.

"I did? And not just one. We're actually six all-in-all." He explained shortly. "And is that water I hear?" He added, snickering.

"Yeah, I'm taking a bath."

"Careful, you might drop your phone."

"Pfft. I'm punk rock, that'll never happen"

"Whatever, Yours Truly is way cooler."

"You wish, Yours Truly."

I mimicked his usual proud voice.

"Hey! That's my title!"

"Sorry, bub, it's mine now."

"Hmph, no originality."

"Hey, I was kidding, chill."

Applying shampoo to my hair, I continued to talk to Ayato casually.

"I'm guessin' you'll be in another school?"

"Probably."

"What if you'll end up in mine?"

"Ryoutei? Hah, no way. I'm way too destructive."

"So? It'll be fun!"

"Hm.. Beating up rich kids... Not bad."

"See? And you'll be hanging with me!"

"Why did I hear that as banging?"

"I would but-"

"WaiT NO."

"Aw, but banging with me is hella-"

"That's a curse, bub."

"Ha?!"

"Kidding, chill."

And my pain began.

"OW, SHIT!" I cussed out loud, shutting my left eye.

"CHLOE?!" Ayato yelled through the phone.

"Ugh, ow! Worst day ever!" Was this my karma?

"The fuck happened?" Ayato asked.

"Stupid shampoo went in my eye." I groaned.

"What the fuck? You scared the shit out of me!" He groaned.

"Oh, shut your trap. It hurts as much as you think." Grabbing a towel, I slowly rubbed my eye.

"Whoop. There goes the prey." Ayato sighed.

Yes, I knew all about his sadist thing. I wasn't freaked out, though what freaked me out was the fact that vampires existed, and Ayato was one.

"Go rad, king sadist."

"You think that?"

"Euh, just go."

"See ya."

The call ends with that.

Getting on my music, I start playing music and standing up; Water rolling down my pale skin.

I step out of the pool of water, walking out of the bathroom bare while grabbing my cigarettes and heading back to the pool; Not  giving a single care about leaving water droplets nor puddles.

Stepping back in the tub, I lay there, lighting a cigarette and inserting it between my chapped lips.

Inhaling smoke, I closed both my eyes.

I loved smoking, in fact, I was clearly obsessed with it; Ignoring the fact that it could kill me. Releasing the smoke into the room, I exhaled.

I failed my parents you see. I promised never to do these things. Get intoxicated by drinks, get my lungs damaged, never be a rebellious teenager.

Be a good girl.

Disgusting.

I never became what I was told to be. I became reckless,

too reckless.

I could be kind, but as I said, plastic like a barbie doll.

Crushing the killer stick, I chuckled.

"Fuck my life."

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

"Chloe!"

"I missed you!"

"'Sup, cousin?"

"Hey, dude!"

"Where's the food, C? Am starving!"

There went my reckless cousins.

We were six, all-in-all. I was the eldest of the girls.

"Chill, we can hang by my terrace." I sighed, a couple of tsk's escaping my lips.

"Himenai, give me a hug!~" A cheery voice interrupted the conversation.

Sigh, aunt fatty.

"Auntie, I told you not to-"

My bones nearly crushed once she took me into her loving arms.

Oh, Ed Sheeran.

"You've gotten thinner!"

'And you've become a wrecking ball!'

"C'mon, C! Let's go!!" Yana, the second eldest of the female cousins, yells from afar.

"Run along now," Auntie suddenly stuffs a shit load of cash into my palm.

I looked at her for a moment, blinking. The edges of her lips twitch upwards as she pat me on the head and stomped away; Creating an earthquake with each step.

The perks of being hella rich!

Grabbing my wallet, I stuffed my new earned cash into my stuffed wallet.

Walking up the stairs along with my cousins, we chattered on about mixed topics.

"You're expelled again?" Asked Yana.

"Bullshit, right?" I chuckle, puffing smoke out of my lips.

"You're cereals?" Kimi adds, youngest of the girls.

"Yes, and your puns are horrifying." Rolling my eyes, I laugh.

"You should hear Kuro's puns." Shiro teases.

"Shut up!" Kuro punches Shiro playfully. Twins, except Kuro is 6 minutes older.

"Can you all shut up? I'm trying to talk to some whore." And lastly, fuckboy Arashi. Eldest of all.

"Scary." The twins muttered.

"You chicks gonna wear dresses?" Kuro asked, chuckling.

"Have to."

"Forced to."

"Fuck no, I'm going for ripped jeans."

The two girls laid both eyes on me.

"You can't, y'know."

"And why the fuck not?"

"Granddaddy's gonna flip, you know how strict he is!"

". . So?"

"So, you'll either walk around in your underwear or no dinner for you. Take your pick!"

". . ."

". . Well?"

"Fuck it, fine. You better help me out on dress since Hilda gave me a horrifying one–!"

Soon enough, I was pulled by Yana and Kimi to my bedroom.

"I brought a bunch of dresses since I knew that you would need some!"

This'll take a shit-load of time.

➖

Dramatic laughter erupted from my aunt's lips as tiny bits of rice jumped out of her lips.

Real lady-like.

But who was I to judge? My knee was up and leaning against the table while I was wearing a black dress, ending right below my knee; Long sleeved.

"Chloe, honey, can you put your knee down?" My dad's girlfriend ( Who thinks she can control me? HAH! Bitch. ) said in such a sweet and kind tone.

It made me want to vomit my insides out.

I could only stare at her, my signature bitchface etched on my face.

She thinks that she can replace the woman I came out from? No fucking way!

"Honey-"

"Don't call me that, you grotesque cow." I snarl.

"Chloe." Dad steps in, glaring and holding onto his girlfriend.

My cousin, Yana, nudges me; an eye twitching, a look that said that I shouldn't do this now since grandfather was here.

My grandfather, Leon Arumerita, is a high ( of course, I'm higher**. ) government official. My father, Tobio Arumerita works as a CEO of a company. Me? Certified bitch that schools can't take.

"Chloe, my granddaughter, I've heard you've been kicked out of school again." Grandfather's deep voice boomed, his gold-like eyes' attention on me.

I respected and at the same time feared him.

I nodded, continuing on with the steak.

"I'm disappointed, though you will be transferring to one of your cousin's school."

The four of my cousins stood; Arashi stayed down.

"CHLOE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN!" The twins exclaim, jumping up and down.

"I CAN HELP YOU ON THE SCHOOL OUTFIT O–M–G!" Kimi clung onto my arm, squealing.

"NAH, SHE'S GOING TO MINE! I'M MAKING YOU A POPULAR KID IN MINE, LIKE ME!" Yana grabbed me away from Kimi, hissing at her.

"Children, sit down." Grandfather stated, the 4 of them sitting down in a millisecond.

"She'll be going to. ."

The five of my cousins stared at me.

The twins biting their lips, grinning.

Arashi giving dead eyes, frowning.

Kimi giggling, raising two fingers up.

Rui grinning and squealing.

"Ryoutei Academy, night school."
