“Finally!” I sighed as I watched the last of the guests leaving the mansion.I was honestly tired of faking smiles and seeing fake smiles all around. I just wanted to take a warm bath and go to sleep.I wanna crash now!The event was finally over. It was nothing but an opportunity for rich people to show off their riches by trying to one-up each other with their fancy jewels and dresses in a gala of sorts for a charity that I am sure none of them even knew much about.I stayed for this?!Ugh!“Don’t sigh so soon!”Archer chuckled. “We have to get back to the main house tonight itself!” He reminded me, making me groan
“Well, you certainly are one dramatic child.” A voice said, making me sit up and look at the face I haven’t seen in a long time.It was my mother dearest.At least legally she was still my mother…As usual, she was dressed to perfection in her baby-pink coloured business suit with a crisp white shirt underneath. She carried her too expensive to be of any use purse in her hand.Her make-up was done to perfection and her face showed no emotions at all.“Learned from the best.” I shrugged, putting the book that I was reading to the side.Thank
“Why don’t you even look at me?” A female voice whined as I neared the door.Who and what the hell was that?“Just get out. I'm in no mood to entertain you right now.” Archer’s voice hissed.He’s definitely angry!“But don’t you find me attractive? I’m here, nearly naked in front of you and you’re not even looking at me! What kind of man are you?” The woman’s voice was uneven as if she was about to cry.What the hell?!I frowned in confusion, deciding to eavesdrop before going in to assess the situation as I stood next to the partly open door.
“I know that, mom.” I sighed, running a hand through my hair.“I’m just saying that it’ll be good for you, Mia. Getting used to the place can actually help you be comfortable with your surroundings and instead of trying to adjust like the others you’ll be able to focus on crushing your competition when the time comes.” My mother, Catherine Queen, spoke through the phone.Wait… What the hell?!“Mom, you’re talking about college not about business here.” I reminded her.And people wonder why I am so messed up…It was my lunch break and I was talking to my mother on my phone.
“This looks awesome!” Thea commented as she looked at the photographs.“I know, right?” I grinned at her.I’m so happy that she’s okay with this!Thea was my only girl-best-friend and I didn’t want to be at odds with her for something as simple as this.“You’re gonna have so much fun there, Mia! I’m actually quite jealous of you now!” Tony voiced his thoughts.Exactly! I’m planning on having so much fun that I will always remember it.This is going to be a major part of my life and I’m going to make it something I would love to look back at when I’m older.
Unedited“I really think that he just needs you to explain it all to him calmly, Mia.” Thea told me as she handed me another one of my jeans.That’s not happening.“I don’t think that’s the problem here, Thea. He’s not going to understand me.” I huffed as I packed my jeans in the suitcase.I have to do this and I’m going to do this. No matter what.“Just think about it, will ya?” Lucas pouted at me from where he was sitting on my bed.Why are they taking his side?!I thought that their presence in
UneditedI looked good.I looked gorgeous!I couldn’t even believe how beautiful the dress that I was wearing looked on me.And that’s coming from a narcissistic bitch like myself!It was a baby-pink coloured floor-length ball gown that looked like a wedding dress. It was simple with delicate work on the torso, its spaghetti straps and V-neck highlighted my collar bones and the thigh-high slit that showed my leg when I walked made it possible for people to see my beautifully matching baby-pink pencil-heels.All in all, I loved it!“You look like a princess.” Lucas gushed, wiping his tears off of
Unedited“May I have this dance with you, dear?” A voice asked from behind me.Ugh! No!I huffed in annoyance, turning around to face the person but froze when I realised who it actually was who asked me for a dance.It was Ashton Knight…It was Archer’s father.The same man who hated me with everything he had.Is he here to say, ‘I told you so’? Because if so, I don’t wanna hear it.I schooled my expressions and smiled for anyone who might’ve been looking at us.
