Life For Kevin [Pt 1]

Kevin Miller dived into the cool water of his family's privately owned pool, the sunlight danced on his blond hair and his piercing green eyes seemed to sparkle with mischief. Despite his masculine build and broad shoulders, there was a certain delicate quality to his almost feminine beauty that was undeniable.

The young maids who were working around the pool couldn't help but steal glances at him as he flexed his toned muscles, showing off his well-defined abs and strong arms. It was easy to see why Kevin was the talk of the town among the girls his age. He was like a Greek god come to life, with a face so handsome that it could make hearts skip a beat.

But as Kevin continued to swim, lost in his own thoughts, he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of his cousin Larissa's voice. She was standing at the mouth of the pool, looking at him with a mixture of concern and annoyance.

"Kevin, you're going to get in so much trouble," Larissa warned him, shaking her head disapprovingly. "Your dad is going to kill you when he finds out."

Kevin rolled his eyes, slowing his strokes as he looked up at her, swimming towards the mouth of the pool. "What are you talking about, Larissa?" he asked, his voice laced with irritation.

"I'm talking about your teachers," Larissa said, folding her arms across her chest. "They called your parents' office and reported that you haven't been attending any classes or participating in any social activities."

Kevin's expression turned to one of annoyance, as he pushed himself up to the edge of the pool, his muscles rippling in the sunlight. "Ugh, why do they care so much?" he muttered under his breath. "They can just pretend I don't even exist, why try so hard to prove you're actually doing a good job." His teachers usually take special note of his attendance in class, because when they report him to his parents; they often give gifts to the teachers as a token of appreciation.

"Because you're supposed to be getting good education," Larissa reminded him, her voice firm. "And if you keep skipping classes and not taking your studies seriously, you're not going to be able to achieve your dreams."

Kevin scoffs, since when does his family cares about his dream? Even if he does have an ambition from the start being the only child and heir to his father's company has forfeited those goals. So why should he kill himself by studying, he had been so caught up in his own good looks and the attention he was getting from girls that he had been neglecting everything else; because that's the only thing that mattered. But as he looked up at Larissa, he couldn't help but feel disgusted at her too, she was the same as them.

Sucking up to him, all because of his father's wealth, it was annoying already that she follows him around the place. Now she will tell him what to do as well, who the hell made her his bodyguard?

"I don't care about school, Larissa," he said, his voice tinged with boredom. "All I need to do is graduate. I'm going to inherit my father's company, so I don't need to study hard anyways."

Larissa looked at him incredulously, shaking her head in disbelief. "Kevin, you can't just rely on your family's wealth and status," she said, her tone stern. "You need to work hard and earn your own success."

Coming from someone who follows him around, just because he'll be big in the future. "We could talk about something interesting instead, for instance, that sexy friend of yours. what's her name again? Her face then twisted in disgust; she had always hated when he talks about her friends.

Kevin leaned back against the edge of the pool, feeling the cool water lapping against his feet. He turned his head to the side, when Larissa yelled at him, "Are you serious right now? We are discussing something very important and this is how you answer?"

"Ah...Yes! Camille, the one with the huge rack. Why don't you set me up with her?"

Larissa's mouth fell open, she raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms over her chest.

"You're such a womanizer. I'm not about to set you up with any of my friends."

Kevin rolled his eyes and shrugged. "Hey, I just like to have a good time. What's wrong with that?"

Larissa let out a frustrated sigh and shook her head. "You're so carefree about everything, especially your life. It's like you don't even think about the consequences of your actions."

Kevin laughed and leaned forward. "Why would I? Life's too short to worry about all that stuff. Besides, I've got you to keep me in check." He mocks.

Larissa scowled and stepped on his fingers, kicking him back into the pool. Kevin splashed and sputtered as he surfaced, laughing. She rolled her eyes and turned on her heel, walking away angrily. She didn't know why boys were so carefree about everything. Sometimes she would like to not care about anything, but she couldn't. She had too much on her plate to be carefree.

But Kevin seemed uninterested in her advice, continuing to swim laps in the pool. As he climbed out of the water and walked towards the sun loungers, his muscles still glistening with water, he couldn't help but feel a sense of entitlement.

With his looks and his family's wealth, Kevin felt invincible. He was used to getting whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted it. And for now, that meant enjoying the luxurious lifestyle that his father's wealth provided him, without a care in the world for anything else.

Kevin pulled his legs from the pool, his body dripping with water and he reached for his towel. He vigorously rubbed himself dry and wrapped a bathrobe around his wet body. Walking towards the mansion, he made his way to the kitchen, eager to quench his thirst with a cold drink.

As he opened the fridge, he heard a sudden noise and turned around quickly, only to find his mother, Sue, standing behind him. He flinched and let out a small scream, surprised by her sudden presence.

"Jesus, Mom, you scared the hell out of me!" Kevin exclaimed, trying to recover from his shock.

His mother looked at him sternly, her eyes blazing with anger. "You should be more careful, Kevin," she said coldly. "You never know who might be lurking around."

Kevin rolled his eyes, feeling annoyed by his mother's lecture. He took a sip of his drink and waited for her to continue.

"I received a call from your homeroom teacher, Kevin," his mother continued, her voice rising with frustration. "She set up a meeting with me to discuss your performance at school. Do you have any idea what that means?"

Kevin shrugged, trying to play it cool. "It's just school, Mom," he said dismissively. "I'm sure it's not a big deal."

His mother's face darkened with anger. "What?" she asked incredulously, her eyes narrowed at her son's dismissive attitude. "You've been slacking off all semester. You've been skipping classes, not participating in any extracurricular activities, and now your homeroom teacher is telling me that you're failing your CA test. This is unacceptable behaviour."

He continued to sip his drink like nothing serious was happening, it wouldn't be the first time his school would complain about his attitude. His mother glared at him, her eyes burning with fury. "Do you want to be a delinquent, Kevin?" she asked, her voice laced with anger. "Is that the kind of life you want for yourself?"

Kevin rolled his eyes. "It's not a big deal, Mom. I'll just study harder for the next one."

Sue's expression hardened. "No, Kevin. You're not getting off that easily. I'm grounding you for a month. You won't have access to your credit card, your video games, or any social activities. And if you don't do well on your next CA test, I'll extend your punishment."

Kevin's smirk faltered as his mother's words sunk in. He had never been grounded before, and the thought of being cut off from his usual luxuries made him feel uneasy. He tried to protest, but Sue cut him off.

"I'm not joking, Kevin. I'm serious about this. You need to take your education seriously, or else you'll end up like some delinquent. And I wish Nathaniel were here to keep an eye on you for me."

He knew his mom would always mention Nathaniel at the smallest thing, compared to him, Nathaniel always took his studies seriously but he still couldn't help feeling like his mother was overreacting. He had always been able to talk his way out of trouble before, and he didn't see why this time would be any different.

As Sue walked out of the room, Kevin shook his head and grabbed another drink from the fridge. He didn't see what the big deal was. It was just a test, after all. He was confident he could make it up later.
