[MATURE CONTENT] Daily updates, 1/day Dual POV Grumpy x Grumpy Zoe Maud, or like her closed ones call her, Mia, has always been different from her family, and not just her looks that she took from her father, while all her six older siblings took theirs from her mother. They were extroverted, she was not. They were blonde, she was not. They were pure sunshine and smiles and living in the moment... she was definately not like them.

That only drew her more apart from them, even when they all came to university and were around her, she still felt adrift, alone like never before. And through all that chaos, one thing remained unchangeable: her obssession for Grigori Mikhail, or like their family called him, Misha, the son of her parents best friend with whom she grew up around, her sister's best friend, the light in her darkness who... always hated her because he believed she hated him.

How come she didn't follow him around or even looked at him in the eyes? How come she messed with his mind and awakened the dark part of himself that he refused to show to anybody else? How could she not shed tears or smile? Why didn't she play with them?
