Forty-Nine
After the college entrance exams ended, the class heartthrob suggested the whole class take a trip together.
To save on costs, he rallied everyone to go sightseeing at my house instead.
"Didn't Nico say his house was bigger than the Palace of Versailles, with more servants than anyone could count?"
Everyone watched me like they were waiting for a show, eager to see me humiliated.
I kindly warned them that once you set foot in my house, there was no leaving.
Tyler Knight, the class heartthrob, laughed. "Doesn't matter. If your house is really that big, we'll stay for the rest of our lives. No, scratch that, we'll stay for the next eight hundred lifetimes.
"Nico's really committed to the act. I want to see how he keeps bluffing once we actually show up at his place."
Since everyone was dead set on going, I had no choice but to call my father, the King of Hell.
"Dad, my classmates are coming over in a few days. Tell Agnes to make a few extra pots of her special soup."
