Rebelle House

3. Empty.

Nights get colder especially when you're always alone like I am.

Changing into something warmer finally after stealing a coat and mittens from the coat room, I tie my hair into a low ponytail going outside to smoke before I find a male suitor to take me out for dinner.

Right, male suitor is the term shoved down our throats when we first entered Rebelle House.

I still remember the first day I walked into Mommy Dearest lair.

Smoke fills the air as I let out a few puffs then lean against the alley wall.

A few years ago

A tall stunning woman with brown caramel eyes, walks us four girls into Rebelle House having men in bell boy uniforms help with our bags.

"Your luggage will be placed in your room that you will be sharing. Starting next Monday through Thursday you will be allowed to leave as you please under the condition that by that time you catch an eye of a male suitor. How will that work? Tomorrow night you will be taken to Rebelle's House special place and begin to walk around like a peacock attracting its mate."

One of the girls with blonde hair pops her bubble gum shocked.

"Peacock? Attract? I thought this was going to be like the Princess Diaries?"

Juniper smiles with a tight knit expression, "Your parents entrusted me to make you impeccable outstanding women. Now, my methods are very different from others but effective. So, don't worry your pretty little heads, you're in good hands."

Just like that, the  bellboy men help get us into a conjoined room with just a signal of Juniper's fingers.

"This is bullshit," A girl with light brown curly hair says whispering.

Another sighs loudly, "If there's cigarettes and booze? Might like it here. At least I'll smoke and drink in peace without my mother screaming utter rubbish at me."

Looking around now getting out of our room, I just observed not really caring to talk.

"Oh right, you all have been dived into right? Popped the cherry? Viagra falls?" Juniper asks in such a proper tone but somehow manages to make it sound slutty before completely leaving us alone.

"What do you think? We're all saints?" The girl who brought up cigarettes and booze said jokingly but made me flinch a little as I looked like the youngest there.

Looking at them not having that experience they have with sex, the blonde notices and smiles cheekily.

"Wait, never? Never ever?"

Shaking my head slowly, I say, "I'm actually waiting for the right guy," I shrugged, "Still pretty young too, I'm only 15."

Juniper cuts in with a devious smile, "Right guy? Oh honey, there is no such thing but a great fuck," Touching my face but not touching it entirely, she walks out the room.

The rest of the night we talked about how we all ended up here, wanting to get to know one another.

When it came to me, I couldn't find the right words other than an arranged marriage with some old guy wasn't in my 15 year old dream and goal chart.

The blonde known as Lori laughed saying even a cousin could be a great arranged marriage than one with a stranger catching us all off guard.

Capri, the one with curly light brown hair was saying an uncle was hers while Lilac the booze and cigarette advocate, said hers was just a business partner from one of her parents' many rotten businesses.

"Sounds like all our parents only cared about getting out of debt and for that they had to dump us here just to like the idea," Lilac says sitting on the satin pink couch that was in the living room.

I placed my hands in my lap, "Male suitors are what exactly?"

Capri looks to me as she sits on the other side of Lilac, "Hell if I know, but hopefully dinner is being ordered or something, I'm starvinggg."

Lori picks at her bedazzled nails, "Might be like some funky term for like guys our parents picked out with her? Something like the ones you line up, straight out of a magazine type deal?"

"How old are you guys anyways?" I say feeling insecure about my body as I see theirs more developed.

Lilac scoffs, "Only 17, don't make me seem too old you bloke," She says in her british accent.

Lori laughs, "16, just turned actually," Smiling as she looks to Capri, "You?"

Capri shrugs, "17, going to be 18 in a couple of weeks."

Juniper walks in with her bellboy men, holding small silver trays covered not showing what was on the inside.

"Dinner," She chirps out then has the men go to us with the food but when it was uncovered, we all covered our mouths as it was adult candy in shapes of boobs and other stuff.

"Oh come on, you said you weren't saints, can't be surprised like you are now when you encounter older and sturdier replicas of all of this on an actual suitor."

Closing my eyes I gulped feeling a panic attack emerging until Juniper walked over holding my chin making me open my eyes again.

"Guess I know who will have the first task of the night," Holding my chin harder, she then lets go, having my heart beat faster with anxiety.

Present time

Flicking my cigarette onto the pavement, I put it out more with my shoe crushing it then going back inside to spot a young but wealthy wallet man that looked like a newbie, knowing he's my golden ticket tonight.

Slipping the coat off my shoulders a bit, fluffing my hair and applying perfume while popping a mint in my mouth, I go to introduce myself until a hand pulls on my wrist, having me turn quickly, almost getting whiplash.

"The fuck? Don't you see I was in the middle of something?'

They drag me back outside but I push them off, glaring at them angrily.

"What's your deal?" I asked as they now sigh, having some internal war within themselves for even giving me the attention they were giving me right now.

"Middle of something? Or you mean in the middle of trying to do someone for money?"

I roll my eyes, losing my high just by being out here with them, so I fold my arms saying, "Jorn right? That's who you are? Look, if this is about not paying Paul, tell him I'll get it by Friday."

The guy narrows his eyes, "Your Paul's loyal customer?"

Chuckling low now heading inside, I mumbled, "That's what happens when you become empty," Walking by him, I go back in and go after the guy I had my eyes on before I was taken outside.
