Chapter 6 - "Do you want an award, or something?"

When Scarlett awoke the next morning she found that she was alone, and decided to just finish the food in the box that Rafe brought her last night for breakfast. Scarlett wasn't sure where her sister was, but knew that they were likely to go out with the pogues again - Scarlett also wanted to get together an outfit for tomorrow's party since she liked to be prepared.

It's not that she didn't want to tell Anne-Marie - she didn't want to lie to her. But she knew how Anne-Marie was likely to react to her telling her that she planned on going to a party in Figure 8. Anne-Marie would get annoyed or angry with her, and that's the last thing she wanted right now.

Scarlett ate her breakfast as she searched through her wardrobe for two outfits - one for the day, and one suitable for a party. But she found she didn't have many party worthy clothes - at least none that were of her usual calibre. She always dressed up for parties, no matter what or where, she always dressed up.

It felt like she had been looking for hours, when she finally found one for the party. She was planning on wearing a black skirt, and a white tube top. Though she knew that her cousins wouldn't like her wearing just that, so she settled on wearing a black lace kimono with it - the kimono was something she brought from home here.

She felt like it was a perfect outfit for a party - and it was close to her usual style of clothing.

Once Scarlett had pulled on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts her phone began to ring. Scarlett rolled her eyes before she grabbed it and lifted it to her ear. "Yes, darling sister?" Scarlett mused.

"Can you head to the Chateau?" Anne-Marie asked her. "Me, JJ and John B will meet you and the others there in about 10 minutes!"

"I guess so!" Scarlett told her sister.

"Also, you didn't come home until one in the morning this morning." Anne-Marie recalled, and Scarlett cringed at this - she thought that Anne-Marie was asleep when she had snuck back in. "What happened to 10 minutes? What were you doing?"

Scarlett was silent for a while as she pulled her shoes on. "I was sleepwalking?" She answered as she began to leave her room.

"Don't lie!"

"Can we not talk about this right now?" Scarlett knew that if she told her sister that she was meeting up with Rafe on the beach, that she'd be angry with her since her sister had always loathed Rafe Cameron - she had hated that Scarlett was best friends with him.

"When do you want to talk about it?"

"Not now!" Scarlett replied swiftly as she left the house. "It's too early in the morning for me explaining my whereabouts, and way too early for interrogations from my own twin." Scarlett then ended the call and stuffed the phone into her pocket, before she began to head on over to John B's place.

When Scarlett arrived at John B's place, she saw that Pope and Kiara was already there, and she gave them both a small smile. Scarlett saw that Pope smiled back at her kindly, but Kiara's expression stayed blank, but she ignored it and sat down, and they sat in very awkward silence. After eight agonising minutes of sitting in silence, Scarlett couldn't take it any longer and had to escape since Kiara was staring at her.

"Does anyone know where the bathroom is?" Scarlett asked quickly, and Pope gave her the directions, and she swiftly stood and made her way to the bathroom, and locked the door behind her with a sigh.

Scarlett had been in the bathroom for minutes, before she ran her hands through her hair, and she moved to leave. She opened the door and found Kiara stood there, and she had narrowed eyes. "Kiara, hi." Scarlett greeted her as she tried to shimmy past her, but the girl still blocked her way. "Oh, well, I actually have to get past if you want to use the bathroom!"
