24| Highlife

The live show was pathetic and interesting at the same time. With my view, I think I'd rate Britney as the best.

That girl displayed all she gat. She never got intimidated by that long silver sword. She made sure to deal with the b*tch girl.

If not for the bodyguards who came to the rescue, I wonder they'd be fighting till dusk.

With the look of things, I admit they're self defense tutor, tutored them bountifully. Swords and no swords, they fought well.

Though I never wanted it to end there. I was liking the view before me back there.

Now I realized why the guys left without a word. I believe they too could do more than what the girls did.

Self defense...

I can never go for such class, because.....I know I'm not expecting a wrestling mania in the future.

The whole place is silence. I've checked the kitchen area if there's someone to make meals for everyone. But none.

Unlike in the main mansion.....

Thanks to grandma who taught me how to not be a useless lazy girl. I learn to put myself to use.

I entered the kitchen, found raw food that has not been cooked since ages. I made use of them.

The noodles are still fresh in the cartons. Not even reptiles like rats has gotten close to it.

Fresh or not fresh, I still remember the slang....beggers gat no choice.

I'm the begger and intruder. I squeezed into the quintuplets privacy.

Enjoying my noodles without another Asia film was not cool yet peaceful.

Because, there was literally no Cressida to address me as a thing this time. She's gone. Back to her.....place?

Uhh...I don't think so.

Infact, where is everyone? Where did everybody go? The whole place is giving me a warm welcome of silence. I can't find Britney-the two fighters, nor Cressida, nor the three prince charmings.

There's a step which leads the way upstairs. I placed my hand on the handrail was made my way therein.

Since I arrived, only Britney has showed little kindness to me. The others?

Go to hell and dwell in the devil's cave. I assume that's what they'd say to me, mentally.

I'm the visitor here. I expected someone if not anyone but Princeton, to show me around. Instead, the guy just acts like we haven't met.

I continued my way further on the staircase. I stopped at a room's door when I found my backpack sitting helplessly on the ground.

My backpack! I beamed, grabbing it and pressing it against my chest. I sighed in relief whilst I pats its top, Why did you leave me? I've been dieing to find you and here you are. Sitting comfortably.

I mouthed to my backpack like it could hear me or speak back. Anyway, that doesn't matter right now. What really matters is the little note tag attached at the top of my backpack.

I pealed it off and read what the handwriting said, "THIS IS YOUR ROOM. MY MOM SAID I SHOULD KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON YOU, SO MY ROOM IS NOT FAR FROM YOURS. JUST IN CASE YOU NEED ANYTHING, I'M IN THE ROOM NEXTDOOR."

I don't need Dr Fate to tell me who dropped this letter.

Princeton.

Wow, he had such a beautiful handwriting. I'm already falling for his handwritings just as I sank into his eyes the very first day I saw him.

I raveled my backpack in my arms. Ready to head for the door. There's a key in the keyhole. I took it, unlock the door and.....

Wow!

Did someone tell me I was going to enter a new world through a door?

Damn this who place.....is an island.

Disneyland, baby.

The polyester carpet is cool underneath my feet. I just remembered I had taken off my shoes before entering the mansion after the fight.

My eyes scanned everywhere. What a beautiful big room for just me. If this was a five star hotel room, I bet just one night should be able to buy me.

The dressing mirror is so classical. So classical for just me.

Do a girl like me deserve this? I thought I'd be given a room in the squatters.

This type of room belongs to hot girls like Britney, her sister and Cressida not me.

I'm a one ugly nobody.

I sat on the bed. It bounced me up a bit. It's so soft and cool. I love the covers and bedsheet. It's a three pillow?

To do what?

I only sleep on one and grandma took the other.

Right now, I don't want to go home any longer. I love this place. If just for the room only.

I've never gotten a room of my own, personally. It's always me and someone sharing it.

When I was still in boarding school back in my high school life, I'll share a room with fifty girls who usually steals my stuff more often.

And when I came back, done and dusted with high school, I still had to share a room with grandma.

But now, this is highlife, honey.

I slumped on the bed, exhaling softly. I feel like not stepping out of this room in a week..or a month.

Just kidding.

I will. My studies, the main reason am here.

I furrowed my brows at the lewd sound I'm hearing. It's very close like it's coming from my room...not really my room.

The next room.

**

I got up from my bed and made my way towards the wall.

My ears are good antennas. They stood like an elf as I paid attention to every sounds that comes out.

Why does it sound like someone is crying softly? It's a female's voice. I remember that voice belongs to Cressida.

What is she doing in...wait a minute, the next room after mine is Princeton's. Is she crying in Princeton's room?

Does she needs my help?

I'm not a ninja or samurai but I know the people who are.

Unfortunately, I have no idea where they went if not, I'd have seek for them. Their friend needs their help.

If truly she's in trouble, she's in Princeton's room. He might be of help to her to.

The girl is crying softly like she's enjoying something at the same time. Could it be she's having a hard time with herself?

Well, maybe not really.

From what am hearing right now.....I think she's asking someone to go faster.

Is there a video car game in there?

Is she competiting with Princeton?

Oh oh, I swear that guys gonna kick her ass. It's written over his face. He doesn't take sh*t as I see him to be.

I thought the noise would end there but it kept on. I had to shut my ears with my palms.

It's annoying and disturbing.

Now I'm hearing Princeton growling.

What's going on in there?

Can I break the walls to see through? If only there's a see through hole.

The noise is freaking me out-no way! I just remembered my phone and earphones are in my backpack. They'll be useful to me right now.

I quickly took them out and made used of it. Let it die by Ellie Goulding is playing in the background.

Volume = 80

That's better than okay. No more lewd sounds.

Lying my back on the bed, my gaze is focused to the ceiling and then, I shut my eyes, took a deep breath as I enjoy the playlist with a smile curving my lips.
