"I assume she must've retaliated?"
He grimaced. "Yeah, she dumped an entire pack of flour over me and it was okay because it was powder until she started chasing me around with the hose turning me into a man dough."
I chuckled. "Don't hate her too much. She's still my sister." It felt weird to think of her as my sister. "Oh and is it still true that you used to envy her because she did whatever she wanted and didn't give a shit?"
He grumbled under his breath. "Don't you ever tell her that."
"So that is true."
"I'm serious. You're not allowed to tell her. She'd bring it up every time we bicker."
"Okay, I won't." I said, thoroughly amused.
"Good. So now that we've got all problems out of the way, I think you should tell me about yourself, Julie Jenson."
"Well that's a hard thing to do. What do you want to know?"
"Just tell me everything about your life from as long as you can remember. I want to get to k
♡five years later♡I bent down to examine it through the glass. It was beautiful but so were all the others. I nudged Olivia next to me."What do you think about this one?" I asked, hoping she could help me out with choosing something.She examined it closely. "Like I said about everything you showed me, it's really pretty.""That isn't helping me to choose only one!""Julie, how am I supposed to know which one is perfect? Everyone has different tastes and what I like isn't necessarily something that Ethan might like. You know him the best so you choose one."I sighed. "Fine, fine." I looked at her hand to stare at her wedding ring glinting on her finger under the fluorescent lights."Hurry, we've been here for an hour now. I'm going to go sit down somewhere.""God, I'm sorry. Yeah, sit somewhere. I'll make it quic
"Miss James." My Bio cluster/Genetics professor, Mrs. Brown said calmly in surprise. I looked at her with apologetic eyes."I'm sorry, professor." I said, clutching the strap of my bag on my shoulder nervously as I became aware of several eyes on me.She gave me a look through her thick red rimmed glasses, pushing them further up her nose. "Do you realise that you are almost twenty five minutes late to the class?""I know, but someone-""I don't want excuses. You must not be late to class. Either be on time or don't come at all."I dropped my gaze from her to the floor. Mrs. Brown was a bit hot headed lady. She was kind and good but she can be scary if she wants. And no one dared to be late to her class. But I was. It just so happened that a girl accidentally spilled her drink all over me before class and I had gone to clean up. And I didn't even hear the bell signaling that Mrs. Brown's class had started."If you were a mere five minutes la
"I said you deserved what you got. Your parents are dead, you work at a café. I bet my purse costs more than your last paycheck. So keep a distance from me, you little bitch."I didn't understand what her problem was. She never acted this way with others, even the people who were close to my level in terms of wealth. She was always sweet to everyone else but me. It was like she intentionally wanted to rile me up.That was enough to crush my self control. My hands balled up into a fist and before I knew, my hand was deposited on her artificially pink and soft cheek. She stumbled back and her minions caught her."Don't you dare say anything about my life. You are no one to comment on it." I snapped at her as I saw her struggle to get up without flashing anything. I dashed out of t
I reached home at around nine thirty at night. It was not exactly home to me. I lived in a small two room rented apartment which was enough for me. The owner was a grumpy widowed douche who was too impatient with the rent.I inserted the key in the hole and opened the door. I flicked the lights on and closed the door behind me. I was tired. I didn't know why but I was damn tired.I already had my dinner at a restaurant and I was full. And so I just needed a warm bath now.Summer break was right around the corner and I was very excited. Tomorrow would be the last day of college until after the break which was for about three weeks. Many of my classmates were to going to go home to meet their family. And some of them were going on family trips to different countries. Thank God, it would be a nice break from seeing the arrogant faces of my classmates everyday.I went into the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth. After putting on my comfortable pajam
As I entered my last class of the day History, I saw Ashley glaring at me. She leaned over Ryder, her boyfriend or more like bed buddy and whispered something in his ear. She glared at me again and I saw Ryder doing the same. If looks could kill, I would have already met my parents.I ignored them and walked to my seat. The class started and I paid attention to the teacher, as usual and took down important notes.Soon enough, the day was over. I heard the plans of the other students. Some were going to holiday abroad. Some in Hawaii, others in India, Bhutan, Africa, Switzerland, London and other countries. In other words, places I had never seen or been to and places that I would probably never see or go to. I envied them for that.Almost my whole class was going to party today at a frat house. I wasn't invited.I would be at work as usual and then at my home.I didn't stay in the campus for long and soon enough I was walking through the familiar s
"You sure she lives here?" Olivia asked, looking around us to see if anyone was there. We were outside Ashley's house. It was 11:39. We had half of our faces covered under a black scarf. We could easily pass for burglars. I just hoped we didn't get caught."Positive," I whispered to her. She nodded and stepped forward."Hey, what are you doing?" I asked as I pulled her back."Going in, of course. How are we supposed to get your revenge without going in?" She asked in a 'duh' tone."We can't go in through the gates. What if we get noticed?""Well there is no other way inside other than the gates.""Follow me," I said.I circled around the house searching for an easy entry. But I found none. The whole house was surrounded by high walls. They were not so high so maybe we could climb up."We'll have to climb up," I stated and turned to find Olivia staring at me in horror."Maybe I didn't tell you this but I'm afraid of heigh
My eyes opened to reveal the familiar surroundings of my room. But there was too much light here. I quickly shut my eyes again, the amount of light unbearable. I blinked a few times and my eyes adjusted to the light.I tried to remember what happened and the previous day burst into awareness. It was Saturday.I rolled over, eager to feel my soft bed on my back, but I was greeted by nothing but air."Aah!" I screamed as I fell down from the bed on my back. I quickly got up.My back hurt. My eyes drifted to the clock on my bedside table and my eyes widened in shock. It was nine in the morning.What happened to my 5 am wake up policy?I had to be at the café before ten!I quickly grabbed some clothes and a towel and went into the washroom. I quickly brushed my teeth, getting rid of my morning breath. I showered quickly and made myself some toast and omelette.After breakfast, I picked up my bag and locked my apartment. I wa
Liv had a car which her parents had gifted to her when she was sixteen and since then she had been using it. It has being over five years now and the car had visible signs of being old. But it was still a nice little black car."When are we going to reach?" I asked. It had been over half an hour and we were still driving through the New York roads to reach to her friend, Wilma's place."Are you so excited that you can't wait to reach there?""You wish."She rolled her eyes. "We're almost there." Liv replied, excitement evident in her tone. What a party animal.She pulled up in front of a large mansion with high walls surrounding it and a black intricately designed gate which had two men in black on either side of it.Liv unbuckled her seatbelt and glanced at me. I still had my seat belt on."Why aren't you getting out?" She asked while smoothing out the corners of her dress which perfectly fit her. Her dress on me was a bit big but st
