Leaving my room after the much needed cold shower, I call for Elli. We go downstairs to the awaiting twins. "Since you weren't here when I installed the security, let me give you a tour."
I do the same tour I did a few hours ago. After finishing, I lead them to the scanners.
"The security is AL. Meaning it does everything I say. When you open the first door with the key. It automatically gives you access to the front door. The key is only for us; guests enter with a fingerprint. "I stop to make sure they follow. Looking at them, I see the twins fierce stare at me. Ignoring them, I continue.
"When the AL recognize your key, the computer you see will open. Please state your name and status." They frown at my request, so I elaborate, "For AL recognition." They nod at me and do as I say.I smile and motion them to follow me. "
House, open safe-room," I say and look under the stairs. The wall move, revealing the hidden room. I lead them inside, "this room is meant to be kept as a secret; only the four of us should know about it. It has a small fridge, bathroom, library and sleeping bags. And of course a control room, from here you have access to every camera in the house." Pride swell inside of me. I designed this room, every aspect of it.
"What made you do this?" Dean asks the question that stirs the darkness in me. My shoulders fall, and my eyes water, thinking of them. Not wanting to give in, I raise my head and regain control.
Changing the subject, I ask, "why weren't you in this morning?" I don't want to judge, but missing the first day is not the best first impression.
They look at each other as if they talk to each other."We had something to deal with." They answer vaguely. Not wanting to press on the matter, I exit the safe room.
I go into the kitchen to make a sandwich. I put it on a plate, and take a bottle of water with a bag of crips.
Going to the stairs, I bump into Elli. I smile and give her a kiss on the cheek. "Good night, lipstick. Thank you for today." She grins and returns a kiss.
Continuing my trip to my room, I smile at Andre and disappear from sight. I open the door with my elbow and crush on the bed after putting the food aside. Propping myself up, I take the remote and put on an episode of criminal minds. Though I think someone topped Spencer.
The twins are at the top of the food chain. Thinking of them brings out the side of me that I haven't been in a long time.
I focus on my food and eat it. I open the bag of crisps and enjoy the chapter.
Feeling my eyes closing, I set the bag aside, and go to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Shutting off the TV, I get under the blanket and fall asleep.

Shutting off my alarm. I get out of bed and get ready for the day. Doing my morning routine, I wash my face and brush my teeth. Putting on a moisturizer and hand cream, I leave my bathroom to the wardrobe.
Getting the outfit for today. I take out a long sleeve black shirt, a houndstooth mini skirt, and a pair of black pumps.After dressing up, I return to the bathroom. And put on a light coat of foundation, a little bit of mascara and lipgloss. I finish my look with silver jewellery.
I go downstairs with my backpack. Entering the kitchen, I put the bag on one of the chairs and make my food for the day.I make two sandwiches for the morning and pesto pasta for our lunch. I look at my watch, making sure I have time. It is 07:15. I take out the milk and cereal and put them on the table. I make myself a cup of coffee and return to the table. Just as I sit, the twins and Elli enter the kitchen.
I greet them and stare at the twins; as they make themselves their drinks. I return to my food when I notice they are about to finish. They all sit down quietly and focus on their drinks. None of us is in the mood to talk this early in the morning.
Elli wears a bottom-up off-white shirt, paired with dark brown jeans and a belt. She put on matching brown Oxford shoes and gold jewellery. Her make-up consists of brown winged eyeliner, blush, highlighter, and matt nude lipstick.
Dean and Victoria wear casual clothes, but still manage to kill the show. They wear matching white tops with faded blue jeans and white sneakers to finish the look. They both have gold jewellery on, and Victoria has little makeup on.
They look so effortless yet so magnificent at the same time. I speak, knowing the train of dirty thoughts will fog my mind. "I made a pot of pesto pasta. You're welcome to take it with you for lunch." I rise from my seat as I finished my cereal and put my bowl in the dishwasher.
I put a bottle of water in my backpack and glance at the time. 30 minutes until the first ring. I turn to Elli and single her to come, and she got the message. She gets up and we leave the penthouse. It's a 25-minute drive to campus, leaving us with a few minutes to spare.
We get into the car and drive away. "Don't forget you will have to ask Elli or the twins to take you back. I have my session after school." I say and turn the radio for the rest of the drive.
I pull up to campus and park it before getting out and going to our designed classes.
