Chapter 2

Gabby Zack, Carlos junior sister sat down in the poolside of Carlos mansion with Carlos friends, wearing her bikini suit eating watermelon as they gist.

"So who's in for a hot female gist," Gabby asked as she sat up.

"Gabby we've heard a lot already." Eric one of Carlos friends told her. "And it's high time you start having female friends."

"Hey!" Gabby raised her hand to silence him. "Pork your nose in your business. Female friends my butt, they are all backstabbers, I don't need any friends.

"We've also heard that countless times." Garret chipped in with a smile, he loves teasing her.

"Gabby they don't ruin your friendship, you do," Eric told her with a straight face.

"Eric, you've said that countless times too." Gabby sigh and relaxed on her sit.

"Girls are just tiring to talk to." Blake shakes his head.

"Blake are you indirectly saying something offensive to my ear." Gabby glare at him.

"With all due respect miss, I'm sorry." Blake apologizes, even though Gabby can be a brat at times but she was like a sister to them.

Garret who was going through his phone saw a girls picture as he blurts out. "Wow, she's beautiful."

"Can I see?" Gabby told him, she wanted to compare this girl Garret was praising with herself.

"No... We know what you normally do, so not today."

"Aish....talking to you all is hopeless." She scoffs as she gave up fighting to see the picture.

"I just pissed you up right now." Garrett smiled satisfied as if he won a medal.

"You seem to have forgotten how I act once I'm pissed off." Gabby glare.

"Garrett don't push her please, we need some moment of silence here." Eric laughed.

"Eric!" Gabby exclaimed with a furrowed brow.

"What! Don't look at me that way." Eric said scared as his heartbeat became fast, whenever Gabby is in this mood his hair was always in trouble.

"Don't worry Eric." Gabby smiled. "I won't lash out okay, else my brother would be mad at me for hurting his friend.

"I thought it was my hair again." Eric breathes a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry I won't drag it anymore, I hate my brother's earful words, he nags slot, so I'm not cut out for that today." Gabby stood up and stretch her body. "You all are just a group of boring dumbass. I'm out of here, swimming will do me more good than sitting here." She heads to the swimming pool.

"I'm glad you're finally going off," Blake calls out

"I'm sure you are," Gabby said without looking back.

"Will you need some juice miss." Eric offers.

"Save it, Eric." Gabby sigh.

"You need friends Gabby," Garrett added.

"Garrett you need to leave this country too," Gabby told him as she enters the pool. "Blake search for a new club party for tonight."

"You're hopeless Gabby. Study your books tonight and forget night clubs." Blake told her with good intentions. "Do something useful with your time,"

"I'm doing that now. Nights are for parties." Gabby said with smiles.

"Gabby no night clubs for you tonight." Carlos who just came back and overhear her talking about night clubs told her with him restrain voice.

"Here comes the boss." Gabby sigh as she enters the water and swims off.

"Thank goodness you're here," Eric said. His friends sat up as soon as he walked close to them.

"What took you so long," Garrett asked him.

"I was with Kelsey," Carlos said as he sat down.

"Next time please don't leave us with your sister she so uncontrollable," Blake told him.

"She's 20 years but she still behaves so childishly," Carlos told them with a smile.

"Not childish, she's a total brat." Eric frown.

"I know." Carlos smiled. He knows his sister so well.

"She needs friends," Garrett added.

"No, she needs to be sent out of this country." Carlos told them.

"I heard that one," Gabby called out from the pools as they all laughed.

"Enjoy your pool little mermaid," Carlos told her.

"Thanks, land wolf," Gabby calls out before diving in for another swim.

Carlos smiled again before facing his friends with a serious face. "Okay, now it's time for business." They all sat up with serious looks now on their faces.

Triffany visited her cousin Nick Jade at his house, which was where she loves going whenever she was bored of being at home. She sat with Allison, Nick sister chatting while Nick who was almost a game addict sat playing his video game. Triffany couldn't help but scoff.

"You're not concern about getting a job, what's your secret, you don't have to hide it from us," Triffany told him curious about what his plans for the future would be.

"Video games," Nick said casually without looking at her.

Triffany was confused. "Video games is not a company or a job."

"Yes, it's a game."

"You did not study for four years to play a game," Triffany told him. She was scared that she can't find a job and now her cousin too would be hopeless just playing a game all his life.

Nick paused his game almost reading her thoughts he faces her and shakes his head. "You don't have a clue Triffany."

"Then make me do." She lifts her chin.

"I'm going to make games." Nick fold his arm and said seriously.

"Games."

Nick knew she was confused, Triffany has always been this way since he knew her. She was naive so he just smiled and explained gently to her. "Yes games, I studied art, so I'm going to be a cartoonist and make videos games."

"Wow! You figured that all by yourself." Triffany can't help smiling as she was amazed at how well he planned himself. Nick just nods proudly. "I'm jealous." She said finally now realizing that she was more pitiful.

"You've always been," Nick said with a smile.

"Don't be so full of yourself, I haven't always been." She frowned. Nick smiled and turned to continue his game. "Since you studied art and want to be a cartoonist, then I also studied art and management, what should I do?" Triffany wondered out loud as Allison and Nick but laughed. "What's funny?" Triffany looked at them.

Allison who has been watching them silently and now laughing told her. "You are."

"That's true, no matter what no company wants to accept me, I'd just go into modelling since I'm pretty," Triffany said with a smile for the new idea she just had. "I'm not pretty?"

Nick who was still playing his game said honestly. "Sure you are, I almost kissed you at the school party 3 years ago, because you were so charming and dazzling."

"You're right I'm charming and dazzling." Triffany sighed not satisfied. "Why don't they see my beauty huh!"

Nick laughed at her question. "That's because you're clumsy."

Triffany furrowed her brow and threw the banana peel she was holding at him. "Who is clumsy?"

"Hey! I'm older than you here." Nick told her, still playing his game. Triffany threw a cup at him again. "Triffany will you stop, I'm about to win this match." He told her.

She was distracting him and he could stop her since he was so focused on his game.

Triffany who was enjoying her moment kept throwing things at him. "Apologize first." She told him.

"Okay I'm sorry, you're not clumsy, so please stop throwing things at me, continue your discussion with Allison." He told her.

Triffany stopped and stood up. "Well focus on your game." She was bored of staying here already.

Allison looked at Triffany who was picking up her bag. "Are you going somewhere?" She asked.

"This place is boring, I need to take a walk, never know if I could see something better to do." She told her.

"Do you want me to tag along," Allison asked.

Triffany smiled, she has always loved being with Allison. "I'd love that."

Allison stood up immediately. "I'll go change my dress and be out soon." She said before leaving to her room.

Triffany walked to the mirror and looked at her image for a long time. "I'm really pretty." She admires herself.

No matter what anyone says, she knew she was very pretty, she doesn't care if she was complemented by anyone.

"Goal!" Nick voiced out immediately.

Triffany looked at him and sighed. "Keep it low please."

"I scored a goal Triffany, I won the match." He told her with excitement.

"You just said that two seconds ago." She shook her head and packed her hair.

Nick turned to face her, he had won the match and now has the time to look at her. "So what were you saying a few minutes ago about being pretty?" He asked since he had heard her say something pretty but was immersed in the game at that time.

Triffany smiled and looked at him. "I'm not fit to be a model?" She asked him. Thinking of how beautiful she was, being a model wasn't a bad idea.

Nick looked at her face down to her dress, he shook his head. "To be sincere, No."

"Why?" Triffany let out a sigh.

"You just don't have any sense of fashion or style." He told her honestly.

Triffany scoff, to her, he was talking nonsense, she looked away. "Just focus on your game."

Allison came out dressed. "I'm done."

They both turned to leave. "Bye girls, don't wander too far, and Triffany," Nick called out.

"What!" She looked at him.

"Don't go blabbering about your problems to people." He told her seriously.

Triffany was tired of hearing him talk to her, she sighed. "Aish... Just play your game, I won't." She turned to Allison. "Let's leave this game boy." They both left the house.

...

"So what now Triffany, where do we go?" Allison asked her.

After thinking for a while. "Let's see the beach first, I need air." She told her.

Alison looked at her cousin seriously. "Do you have a bus fare for the trip?" She asked her.

Triffany paused and looked into her pause. "I forgot. let's just walk to anywhere our legs would take us." She told her and walked ahead of her.

Alison shakes her head and breathe out. "That's the problem." She ran to catch up with Triffany. "Are you okay?" Alison had to ask her.

"Nope, but I'm getting a little idea."

"What idea?"

"Applying as a model."

"Triffany do you even have money to apply for that?"

"I'm just going to sell all my stuff," Triffany said with a smile.

Alison who couldn't understand what this girl was saying sighed and looked at her like she's crazy. "You've just lost it."
