FLASHBACK

SUMMER 2014

THIRD PERSON'S Point ov View

A high-ends' party bloomed throughout the Pink Palace. A contour of glam, fashion, and fun.

" Even the splendid buffet with definite impressive taste contrasts can surely blow you away," said the hostess.

" That is so true ! " answered Kristen, a particular eye-catching guest. She has a long amber hair with an elegant curly 'do.

She lifted her wineglass and made a toast with the woman on the left. It was Erika.

The latter looks stunning in a beige fitted back strap dress. The bold Scandinavian long and white hair in a low pony, light makeup, and a lip gloss garb pretty emphasize her most beguiling ocean blue eyes.

She thought she was going to sit at Samantha's. And yet, the mad bitch is wooing another girl.

" That's an absolute philanderer," she said. She discerns visually of Samantha and a brown-haired girl making out in front of the crowd. That side of the party is getting wild

" I'm gonna getcha," she added and drunk in her wineglass.

" Dogs .. " said Kristen while chewing gum. Erika looked at her. " Do not fall for one who has eyes for every bitch," she added and winked at her.

Erika grinned for an answer.

" Damn woman, you keep your head high..." said Zendaya, the girl who occupies the chair next to Erika "...and middle finger higher, " she added.She was with Bella who nodded and raised her wineglass with her middle finger up in the air.

They imitated her and raised their very own middle fingers and toasted their wine glasses.

" Fuck you bitches !" they all cheered and laughed simultaneously.

MEGAN, on the other hand, always had trouble with cigarette butts thrown in the toilet. She was a custodian assigned to the left wing's comfort room.

She rolled her eyes upon seeing lipstick stains on the bathroom mirror walls, too.

'I don't think I would feel cool or something after kissing mirrors of comfort rooms' she thought.

" Si je pouvais simplement tremper la vadrouille que je tenais dans la cuvette des toilettes, je le ferais. Ensuite, je vais l'utiliser pour obtenir ces taches de rouge à lèvres! Devant eux pour qu'ils sachent ce qu'ils embrassent. Il prend beaucoup de temps, " she mumbled while trying hard to remove those stains. (If I could just dip that mop in the toilet bowl, I would. Then I will use it to get these lipstick stains! In front of them so they know what they are kissing. It is very time consuming)

" You'll do that?" she heard someone say.

She glanced back in the hopes that weren't the manager. She was thankful to see that it was just one of the party guests.

It was Erika. She knows that she is a Scandinavian model.

She ignored her and continued what she's doing.

Erika, on the other hand, was wowed upon seeing that housekeeper's countenance.

She was drunk but she was not blind. She's so beautiful.

She suddenly laughed and looked in the mirror.

" Really Erika? Are you really so heartbroken that you even notice the housekeeper?" she said.

She looked at the woman. She stopped rubbing in the mirror and looked at her. Her face has literally no reaction. How is that even possible?

Megan seems to notice that the model was a bit lightheaded, that must be the reason why she talked to herself.

She ignored her and approached someone on the door. It was the newcomer, Khelani.

" Hey," Kehlani greeted her.

" Thank god you're here," said Megan" I probably should go," she added.

" Sure," said the newcomer.

It is the end of her shift and it is Kehlani's turn.

On the way to St. August, she called Lea, her roommate. St. August is a boarding school. And Party Palace is where she worked part-time.

" Hé, comment va la fête?," Lea asked and chuckled.( How's the party goin'?)

" Juste une autre fête de pute," she said. ( Just another whore's party)

ERIKA was walking down the corridors wondering where that housekeeper would be. Unexpectedly, someone grabbed her right arm from one of the rooms around. Before that someone could take her away, Kristen held a tight grip of her left arm.

'When did she get here?' she thought. She was referring to Kristen.

Erika was shocked to see that 'someone' was Samantha. She immediately pulled her arm away when she saw a brown-haired girl inside the room approaching them.

" Baby, who's that? " the brown-haired girl asked.

Samantha intently looked Erika in the eyes while uttering the words " N-no one,".

It made Erika speechless and made Kristen curse hard.

The latter soon composed herself for the brown-haired girl's flirtily looks at her, the girl almost hyperventilated when she winked at her in a flirty manner.

Kristen mouthed the words 'come here' to the brown-haired girl. She was not dreaming when Kristen held her waist and both of them walked off that corridor after Erika.

It was Samantha's turn to go speechless.

ST. AUGUST UNIVERSITY

Lea stared in disbelief at Megan as she cut through the wrong part of the frog's tissue. Megan bit her lips to stop from giggling.

" You bitch !" Lea said and pinched Megan's belly fat. It's the latter's turn to looked at her girlfriend in disbelief, she hated it when she does that! It reminded her of those unnecessary fats.

" What ?" Lea asked with a big grin on her lips. She knew Meg hate it.

" You devil! " Meg shouted.

Lea laughed and ran towards the room's exit door.

It was 6 in the evening. Lea invited Meg to go to the science lab when she was asked for help with some science and stuff.

She had free access to the room for being a top scholar, actually, most of the university's the likes and all.

"Freak alert," said Alexandria Fiorelli as Megan passed by them.

" She stinks, " said fancy Jane covering her nose. She is Alexandria's cousin.

Megan stopped and looked at her reflection in the mirrored wall behind them. The juice of the dissected frog's gut is all over her white coat. It does smell bad.

" It's a frog's guts," she said. The girls 'ew'-ed for all she cares.

Megan looked around and found a few students around minding their own businesses.

She grinned creepily and placed a piece of paper on her forehead saying ' free hug'.

The girls ran off for their lives.

Megan and Lea chortled upon their funny disgusted faces.

" That was hilarious! " Lea exclaimed

MEGAN's Point Ov View

Yes, Alexandria Fiorelli, the brat is my schoolmate. She's the queen bee, the cheerleading captain, the sorority leader, and all other popular undertakings whatsoever. She's got it all. That's her.

Jane Aurora Fiorelli-Schmidt, on the other hand, is her cousin. The mean girl number two. She is your best 'white Ariana Grande' there is and I think, the luckiest bitch. She's the girlfriend of the famous Adele Exarchopuolos. Such a privilege for her.

" She must be huge baggage," I chuckled. I'm referring to Jane being Adele's love interest.

" You're so rude ! " said Lea. She chuckled, too.

I shrugged my shoulders " She's crazy mean, you know," I said.

" Look who's talking," Lea joked.

" How could you! " I shouted and spanked her.

" What? That hurts," she laughed and rubbed the part where I spanked her.

It is our weekend getaway. We got in her car, on the road for an hour and later parked in the middle of the road. She walked outside the car and took what was in a car's compartment, when I saw what it was, I laughed. It's a machete.

" Is this some kind of a salvage? " I joked and looked around. It's windy so I cupped my hair to stop it from dancing.

Between the plain distant trees and shrubs around, the left view is breathtaking.

It's a beautiful blue mountain.

Damn. That is a masterpiece.

I caught a glimpse of Lea. She was looking at the sky and at the blue mountain.

" It's beautiful," I said referring to the view. I breathed in when I felt a cool breeze passed by me. It was refreshing.

" Yes, she is," she said and glanced at me. I glanced back.

Her blue eyes radiated as the morning light reflected on it. It's as beautiful as the mountain.

I gasped for air when she stopped and stared at me for a few moments more.

" Can I kiss you? " she then whispered, out of nowhere.

I was in awe.

It felt like heaven when she planted a feathery kiss on my lips and whispered the words " I love you,"

I can't feel my face after that.

A FEW MOMENTS LATER

"Come," Lea said and lent me her hand.

" Where are we going? "I asked, still can't seem to look at her in the eyes.

" You'll see," she replied as she skillfully swayed the machete to cut off those hurdle tall grasses to clear a way for us.

It was a 10-minute jungle walk with a cyclone wire fence waiting at the end of the road.

On the other side, a few meters away is a man standing beside a somewhat, roofless car.

" That's a trailer truck," Lea said.

I looked at her.

" A trailer truck? " I asked curiously.

She nodded and whistled like a pro to call the man's attention.

The man raised his hand and waved at Lea.

" He's my brother," she said.

I was stunned.

" That's Leigh? He's kinda different from what I imagined," I complaint.

" I know," she said and walked inside an opening.

" My little girl, " Leigh greeted Lea with a big smile on his face. He approached her and messed up his hair.

My little girl?

Leigh had a sleek hair sporting a cotton long sleeve casual slim fit in navy blue, denim, and boots. He's in fact good looking and has model proportions with biceps and muscles in their right places. He looked like a cool Mr. goody-two-shoes in particular business garb.

It seemed like I saw a male version of Lea.

" I want you to meet Megan," Lea said.

" Finally, nice to meet you," Leigh said and lent me a handshake.

I was about to take his hand when Lea took it instead " We're gonna get ready," she said and pulled me away from him.

Leigh laughed.

" What's wrong?" I asked, puzzled.

" Nothing," she answered.

I raised my left brow " Where are we going?" I asked.

"Here," she replied.

I followed her gaze.

It led me to a house made entirely of glass in the middle of the forest. I cursed. Damn, It was fairytale-like.

I was more stunned when two boys come running towards us.

" Leighton! Jack ! come here! " Lea called the boys and crouched as they approached her.

It was funny how the three of them looked much alike.

" Blue-haired ! " called the kid with the tougher features. He had sleek hair just like Leigh but a mini version.

" Blue haired? " I asked Lea with a questionable look.

She laughed and mouthed 'that-is-not-what-you-think'.

I mouthed 'really?' for a reply and rolled my eyeballs.

" Who's she? " asked the other kid with the softer features. His hair was more of a classic taper haircut.

I pointed myself.

He nodded.

They all glanced at me, got me a bit shy.

" She's Megan," Lea said and smirked.

" Hi?" I said, stuck like a tomato.

" Finally ! " said the newcomer. He's wearing a classic taper haircut just like the other kid but the bigger version " Is that you blue-haired?" he added.

" Jackson," Lea called and met him halfway.

The man named Jackson was squeaking as if he was excited.

He hugged Lea and looked at me as if he was so delighted to see me.

" Is that her?" he asked Lea, the latter nodded.

I bit my lip as he approached me. I was taken aback when he hugged me tightly.

He glanced at Lea and mouthed him the words ' She's so cool! '.
