He glared at me before looking down at the table.

I just realized how hard I was staring and looked away fast.

"Ah Magnus! You're here finally!" His father smiled.

"Apologies on the wait. I had to take care of something." He said not looking up.

He sounded like a robot.

He apparently he can apologize that quickly for being late but can't apologize for barging into my room and being a bitch? Imbecile.

The food came and before we ate, my dad stuck up his glass of wine.

"Tomorrow, we will soon have a ball, which will declare the alliance. We've had some difficult times with one another, but that will soon be forgotten." He said in sympathy.

" cheers to the French and Italian union!"

We all raised our glass. Except for one. Magnus.

"Cheers!" We all repeated.

As I took a sip out my cup, I noticed him. He looked as if he would punch someone.

I didn't think much of it, I just wanted this night to end.

Axel, Vivian, and I, soon finished our food. The maids came to take our dishes and we were then presented with dessert.

I was excited for this part. We were having our chefs best tuxedo cake.

Just as it was served, Magnus got up and walked up to the front.

What the heck?

Who does that when someone gives them free, elegant food?

Whatever. Not like we need him here anyways.

I got a text on my group chat with Vivian and Axel.

The text read: "you wanna escape?" From: Vivian.
"Please." I texted back happily.

Axel glared at us, the. To his phone.
"No!" He texted. We'll get caught!
It's rude and you know it!"

I didn't care. I didn't want to be here, and after that message, Magnus came back in.

Now I definitely didn't want to be here.

Me and Vivian excused ourselves to go to the restroom.

Then we made a run for in, finally.

Obviously Axel wasn't going to snitch. He's covering for us as he does all the time.

We didn't really know where to go.

We ran upstairs, changed our cloths, and ran downstairs outside.

We got on my bike and sped off quick.

I got us to a club.

I didn't really like clubs but Vivian was begging me cause she wanted a drink.

"You know we have several bars at the mansion, right?" I asked.

"Yea but this will help us to clear our mind more!" She said in excitement.

We went in.

It was fun I guess. We danced and had a few drinks.

We soon left cause it got really late.

I was a little drunk, but not as much as Vivian. She never controls herself. But she's really good. She's honestly immune at this point because she doesn't get drunk until about 16 shots of whatever.

On our way back, we saw Axel sitting at the front of the mansion on the steps.

"There you are!" He said relived.

"If only you came." I said while giggling with Vivian.

"Well I'm going now. I have to pick up my outfit for the ball and I'm tired. Good night!" He said, hugging us before he left.

Me and Vivian went back up to my room and just relaxed there.

I was tired. Really tired.

We talked about random stuff and about what we would wear to the ball.

"I'll do your makeup, and you style my hair." She said as she got the idea.

"Okay! I can ask violet to get the stuff." I said in excitement.

Violet was pretty much like my helper. She told me my schedule everyday and made sure I attended any meetings and errands.

She also made sure to schedule my martial arts class for every other day.

I don't really know what I would do if she wasn't around. It's good I have her. She lifts a lot of weight from my shoulders.

It was 11:53PM.

I soon said good night to Vivian as she left. I think she called for her driver and left because I kept getting mad at her for trying to go on her own.

Now it's just me and Vinnie.

I like calling him Vinnie better. It's a cute nickname.

Me and Vinnie fell asleep soon. I slept on my bed while he took my windowsill, as usual.

I couldn't wait for the ball. I thought about it as I dozed off and I even had a dream about it.

I was only excited because I would get nice and dressed up.

I'm still skeptical about the alliance, but I'll do what's right. For the mafia.
