The party went on great. I had a lot of fun. And of course I didn't behave like someone who just came from the hospital. It's not like I can help it anyway. There's just so much energie to be used.

When I went into my bedroom that night, I couldn't believe my eyes.

The gifts I saw in the hospital were nothing compared to what I found in my room.

I know the doctor said 'rest', but how can I when there are so many fun things to do.

I promised myself to sleep through the next day to catch up, because I just had to read my notes.

Me, Chris and Megan break dawn together reading the notes. We ended up falling in sleep in a pool of cards and notes on the floor.

Cordelia wakes us up when she brings breakfast and we just continue reading and unwrapping gifts.

"Who's Blair Straus?" I ask, looking at the cute green card.

"It's that girl. She has dangerously pink hair and cat eyes" Megan describes... Or tries to describe.

I remember her from the first day of school.

"And who's Thay Brook?"

"Ms Paparazzi. The one who secretly kept taking pictures of you" Chris answers.

It seem like I've been in some sort of contact with everyone in college, but I only remember them by the nicknames I gave them or not at all.

"I never knew so many people cared. Never knew I even remotely inspired and motivated people like this. I always thought they all hated me, because of my sarcasm and my attitude"

"Not everyone sees it like that. These... manners of yours only show themselves when you're in defense mood. Which is always. But they see it as sticking up for yourself and your friends. Tho sometimes you are just super mean for no reason" Chris explains.

"I feel so bad that I won't be able to use most of these gifts. Did you guys see the painting Crystal made me?"

"Who's that?"

"It's that little girl. She mute and she's deaf in one ear. Remember the charity home that burned down four years ago?"

"Yeah I remember that incident" "yeah I remember"

"She was in that group. She always smiled at me when she was here, but the woman taking care of them said no one had ever seen her smile before. She came knocking to my door every night signing that she couldn't sleep. She's extremely talented when it comes to drawing and painting. She made a painting of me and her together on a bridge. Her note says she finished it in one day. It's actually a masterpiece"

I show them the painting Crystal made me. That girl is really special.

When their home burned down, we allowed them to stay in our homes. Some in my mom's and some in Chris's. They stayed until they had a new place to go.

"You got so many perfumes, charm bracelets and coffee mugs. Can I have some" asks Megan.

"I'll buy you other ones if you like, but these are priceless. Besides the mugs all have my name on them"

Megan rolls her eyes as she and Chris help me put everything away.

I hang the painting on the other side of the room across my bed so it can be the first thing I see when I wake up.

We go downstairs to have lunch.

Cordelia made a delicious soup with potatoes, vermicelli, sausages, paprika and some other vegetables.

Healthy, but delicious.

As long as the food is delicious I can eat healthy all day. I won't mind. Thank God I'm free from eating that green stuff.

I remember gagging every time Chris made me eat it.

"You coming to school tomorrow? It's the last school day before the new year" Chris asks.

"Yeah, I'm coming. There's not much to do around here anyway"
He nods.

When my mom comes home from work around diner time, she comes in with a package.

"Hello people that look like they're from another planet" she greets excitedly.

"Did you just call us aliens?" Megan asks as my mom places a kiss on her cheek.

"Yes. Duuh" she answers giving me a kiss and then Chris.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that" I say.

"Me too"

"Whatever. Here. It's for you. Found it in the mailbox" my mom says handing me the package.

"You know. I've always known that I rule and that I am the boss, but wow! I am amazed of what a big deal I am" I say proudly.

"Will you please cut the bragging. You suck" whispers Megan, receiving and eye roll from me.

I take the note that's attached to the box and read it.

"It's from Delanxy. She says she's... sorry. What'd she do again?" I ask.

Chris just says "ugh!" And walks toward the fridge.

Like seriously I don't know what she's saying sorry for.

Anyway I'll find out later. I open the box and see lots and lots chocolate.

"Happy Birthday Chaniëlle" I say smiling and pop a piece of chocolate into my mouth.

My mom hits me at the back of my head, making me jerk forward.

"Ow! Wha was tha fo?" I asks with the chocolate in my mouth.

"Didn't I teach you to share? Besides you're not supposed to be eating chocolate. It's unhealthy for you" my mom says snatching the box from my hand and putting some chocolate into her mouth.

"I was going to share. There's something called asking, you know" I say after I swallow the chocolate. I snatch the box out of her hands and fill my mouth with chocolate.

Now it's Chris that snatches the box from my hand "Where you still going to share?  Greedy Idiot"

He too fils his mouth with chocolate, before Megan snatches the box from him.

We all turn to look at her, to hear what she has to say.

She just shrugs and says "What? I'm human too, ain't I?"

We keep snatching the box from each other like that until the box is empty. Our hands are covered in brown and white chocolate.

"Chan you throw the box away, because it was your chocolate" my mom says throwing me the empty box.

"Na-ah not happening" I say and push it into Chris's hands.

"Why me? I'm the King around here and I ain't throwing it away" he says and throws it to Megan.

"The hell? It's cause I got small boobs right? Well no,  I don't want it" she says putting it in my mom's hands.

We keep going on like that for a few minutes, before Cordelia comes to the rescue of the poor box.

"There. There. That's it. I'll do it. I'll throw the abandoned outcast of a box away" she says and takes it from my hand before I can throw it to my mom.

We all sit in silence and watch as she discards the empty box and walks up the stairs.

We look at each other for a few moments, then we burst into laughter.

"See. Now you got her frustrated. It's your fault" Megan says to me.

"What me?! Chris is the man. Why didn't he do it" I defend.

"It's mom's fault. She started it" Chris says.

"What? That's untrue. Why doesn't anybody say it's Megan's fault" she defends herself.

"Seriously? I'm the most innocent person here" Megan says.

"Mrs Righters" Camila, one of the servants call, blocking us from turning our discussion into something way bigger.

"Yes dear" my mom answers.

"There are two people at the door. One of them by the name if Selena Scott. She's with her mother and they wish to see Ms Chaniëlle. Should I let them in?"

"Yes Camila. Show them to the living room and get them some drinks. We'll be right with them" my mom tells her then turns to us.
"Brush your teeth guys. Come on, chop, chop. You've got guests waiting"

We rush upstairs to brush our teeth and head to the living room.

"Hey Selena. Mrs Scott" I greet as I enter the living room.

"Chaniëlle"

They both get up and hug me.

"How are you?" Asks Selena.

"I'm great actually. You?"

"I'm just happy you're OK and healthy as ever. What did those people feed you? You're looking good"

"Honey please. I've had booty since I was born" I say in a duuh tone and they both laugh.

Chris and Megan join us and do their greetings, before my mom walks in with a change of clothes. The other one was sneered with chocolate and it was her work outfit.

When she looks up from smoothening her dress she freezes in her tracks as she and Selena's mom make eye contact.

"Well I'll be damned"

Haya guys🙋😝

It seems like another name for this family is "drama" 😏

Why do you think Alexandra reacted that way?

P.S. was I the only one who thought their little fight over the chocolate box was hilarious?

Every time I do a preview, I end up amazed and impressed by what I write. (Not to brag, but I'm just sharing)
