Eve: Tale of the Crimson Rose

Chapter 4

   Looking out the window, I sigh, we just left our house for what seems a 3-4 hour drive to the Orgon Building. Weird cause when you think about the Orgon Building, it's a community or town for extremely powerful and influential people. So shouldn't it just be called Orgon City or something?

   I watch as buildings start opening up their businesses. Me and my mom are in the backseats of the car as my brother and father sit in the front. My mom was busy on her phone. And of course, I didn't have a phone all because they didn't want to spend 'money on a failure or mistake' like me. The school iPad I had to turn on the way to the city. I am extremely bored in this car. All I want is for something to do. Like a board game of some sort? Before we left, I did as much research on the school as possible. So the kids of all the most powerful and rich go there, like lawyers, judges, presidents, politicians, royalties, etc. It is a very prestigious high school. Well respected, too. But I'm the daughter of a plumper and housewife.

   I wonder how I'm gonna fit in. I heard that different uniforms are changed every season to meet that requirement for the student's comfort. The kids get to style the uniforms with accessories like Gucci bags and even more highly expensive items. What am I gonna wear with it? The cheap sweater that I bought at a Dollar Tree? If that doesn't work, then I'll take off all the makeup on my face to show how I truly look. I can't wait to see the higher-ups at the events at the school. That is if I can afford them.

   After what seems like an hour of driving, we go by the last house. There are now so many open meadows, which is rare to see in this day n age. We go into a small town for a lunch break. For the first time, my parents are letting me order whatever I want. So I took the chance and ordered a spicy chicken sandwich with large fries and a vanilla milkshake. My mom and Dad ordered some ramen and dumplings for him and mom. My brother ordered a king-sized cheeseburger with fries and some Coke. I truly enjoyed my meal it was great. We also bought a few snacks for the rest of the way. For the first time, I felt like my family did care about me in a normal family way. I couldn't help but smile.

   When I start at the new school, I believe I'm getting amazing grades off the bat. I will explore everywhere in that school. I heard there is a mall that would take at least 3 days to go to every store. And most cheap items might cost around 30 dollars. That will be something new for me for sure. No matter what, don't fall for a teacher. I had to learn that the hard way, and it's not worth it. Why are relationships so hard?

   We start to get closer to the Orgon Building. How do I know this? Because more and more high-end fashion houses and stores could be spotted. After a good  30 minutes more, we get to some type of entrance. My brother shows his ID, and so do our parents before getting let in. There is some type of invisible force field around the entire city. Instantly, I could feel the whole vibe change into something else. We have an old car, so seeing more Teslas, Mercedes Benzes, Lamborghinis, etc, surprised me a lot. Everyone here has some type of designer bag at hand or something on it that costs more than our old house. Even the people who work in the stores are better dressed than my whole family. In front of these people, we are poor and most likely homeless.

   "WOAH," I say in shock and mesmerized. A lady walks past our car with a stroller, which looks like it's worth more than my life.
"My, I have to go shopping for some new clothes," my mom says, looking around and seeing highly dressed women.
"Don't worry, Mother, my first paycheck will be about getting the family into the new lifestyle," Dave says with a smile.
"That's why I love you, my son," my mom squealed, "and until then, I will be hiding in the house." My dad laughs at this remark. I can't wait to get to that apartment. Finally, I'm meeting a bed after what seems like a 4-hour hike. Either today or tomorrow, I have to go pick up my uniforms from the school store downtown. I'm so scared to even walk into the school.

   After a little while, we arrive at our new home. It looks amazing! The apartments look amazing! I look off into the distance to see the true Orgon Building where the most important people live. Think of that area as filled with palaces for different people. Gosh, this is cool as fuck. We all get out of the car and start heading inside with our stuff.
As I entered the apartment, I saw the biggest living room I had ever seen. Right beside it was a fairly big dining room and a huge kitchen. There were 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Two master bedrooms and two fairly large bedrooms, too. The master bedrooms came with their master bathrooms, and and garage-sized walk-in closets. The other rooms have their bathrooms, too, and a walk-in closet as well, but just smaller. There are two bedrooms on the first and second floors. And an empty bathroom near the kitchen for anyone's use.

   Now I already know I am not gonna have any of the master bedrooms. I head into one of the "normal" bedrooms and place my stuff down. This is gonna be so fucking fun!
