Mr Popular and The Assassin

Chapter 27

R I O N A

"Rie what's going on?" Thalia sat down on the couch next to me. "Why do you look so upset?" She held my hand.

"It's nothing." I got up from my seat. "People are just nasty." I rolled my eyes.

"Who made you so mad?" Her eyes sparked interest.

"Nobody. I just realized some people don't deserve to live."

" You aren't the one who gets to decide that Rie."

" Whatever!"

A soft knock came from the outside the front door.

"Who might that be?" Thalia questioned with confusion laced in her voice.

"Probably Keith." I answered as I walked towards the front door.

" Keith?" She crossed her arms across her chest.

I opened the door and Keith stood opposite me with a broad smile on his face.

"Hey!" Keith greeted with a toothy smile as he came in.

I've never trusted people who smile too often. They always seem so fake.

"Let's get the sessions done with already." I closed the door.

" Hey Lia!" He greeted." Where's Cassidy and Iris?" He looked around.

"Don't call me Lia it's Thalia and they are not home." Thalia rolled her eyes.

"I see you're slowly picking up your sisters traits." He taunted but she only looked him dead into the eye.

" Okay to avoid the death glares, we're going upstairs to my room." I announced to break the silence.

" After you," he pointed towards the stairs.

I lead the way till we both got to my room.

"So this is your room?" He moved around and observed the room.

" You're not allowed to touch anything."

"Why? I expected to see pink and pastel colored walls with fluffy stuffed animals but it's so dark. The walls are painted grey and the interior's dominant color is black. Don't girls like One direction anymore?"

"I never had a one direction phase. I don't have interests in such things but that's not the point, can we just do this already?"

" Riona!" He raised his hand above his mouth like he was hiding a blush. "You say it like we're about to have sex."

"Shut up. Take out your books." I ordered.

" Where do I seat?"

" On the floor you idiot." I rolled my eyes. " It's not like I have chairs or anything." I completed sarcastically while darting my eyes at the reading table right next to him.

" There was no need to be sarcastic, can I get a glass of water please?" Keith asked and I groaned.

" Stay here and don't touch anything." I warned before leaving the room.

I stormed downstairs and caught Thalia on the phone with someone.

"I won't be able to make it, I'm sorry Ari." I heard Thalia apologize and I leaned in to listen more.

"I just have a lot of work at home, I'll make it up to you." She sighed.

"Bye." She said before disconnecting the call and leaned on the island.

" Who was that and why did you lie?" I questioned.

" It's nothing. Just drop it." She moved away from the counter.
