Evelyn Alexander is 16 when she's put in the system, because her parents can't take care of her. When she turns 19 and her biological father dies, her 'uncle' Larry shows up, telling her she's going to live with him in Vegas. Ev doesn't want any of...
I can feel Xandra's eyes on me and know she's stunned by what i just said. Game on, bitch
I walk upstairs, brush my teeth, remove my makeup and flop on my bed, not bothering to put on some pjs. Larry told me i'll be attending the local high school or whatever, but since it's friday i wont have to worry about that for now. I look at my phone; 01:32 I sigh and go to spotify to play the "Carol (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)", since it helps me sleep. I close my eyes and think of all that has happened in the last 24 hours. After a while i doze off to sleep.

I wake up when a pillow is thrown at my head,
"Wake up and get ready, we need to go shopping."
I grunt and open my eyes, seeing Xandra standing in the doorframe. When i ignore her she throws another pillow.
"The fuck! Stop that!"
"Get. Up."
"Christ, i'm coming."
She walks out with a smirk and i get up and jump under the shower. I decide to just leave my hair down, put on some makeup and wear a cute outfit;

I spray on some perfume and slouch downstairs, not being able to function this early in the morning. I see Xandra standing at the door, waiting impatiently. We give each other a fake smile and get in the car without saying a word. I go to my playlists and put "Money" by Pink Floyd on the speakers. Xandra raises an eyebrow, but doesn't say anything, until we're in the parking lot,
"Don't do anything stupid and behave,"
is all Xandra says when she gets out of the car. I scoff and get out as well, while i grab a cig and light it. I lean against the car and close my eyes, knowing Xandra is waiting for me.
"This is about yesterday huh."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
I chuckle, still not looking at her,
"Christ Xandra, why do despise me that much. I never had a say in any of this."
She rolls her eyes and comes closer, taking the cigarette from between my fingers. She takes a drag and chuckles.
"Despise is a big word, more like annoy me,"
is all she says while walking away from me and putting out my cig.
"You just wasted a good cigarette.. I'm not that rich that i can just buy new packs whenever i want"
"Stop whining you little shit. I'll buy you a new pack"
she answers, still walking. I smirk and follow her.
