Eve: Tale of the Crimson Rose

Chapter 13

   "May you always..." Chi's singing echoes through the auditorium. She was singing the classic song of "Satisfied." Wow, she is so good at this, I wish I was like her. I squealed fangirling over her.
"I still can't believe they gave that Asian girl the role of Angelica," Rosa scoffs.
"Watch your mouth because she is a Nguyen," Cleo shuts her up, "she is ranked way above us, so we can't bother her unless Mona is here."
She isn't wrong. Mona is sadly ranked higher than me and Chi. Still can't let them do this to her.

   After class, Chi and I talked while packing our bags.
"Hey slit eyes," Jason yells out. Everyone in his little group burst into laughter. It wasn't that funny, and it was hella disrespectful.
"Cut it out, would you," I yell back, seeing tears form in Chi's eyes.
"Is that the blue-eyed black freak talking to me," he and his group laugh. This pisses me off, and I'm about to say something when Chi grabs my shoulder and shakes her head. I huffed that boy was so lucky an angel was here to stop me from showing him what racism fucking looks like. Going to Chemistry, I was pissed. The sad part is that she had to stay quiet due to Jason's reputation as the president's son.

   After breathing, I calmed down.
"You ok blueberry," Daniel asks.
"Blueberry?" I question.
"Yeah, for your eyes," he answers. I roll my eyes at this remark.
"Daniel, I have a question."
"Mhmm?"
"What do you know about Jason Smith?"
"Oh, him. Well, he is a jerk most days, but that guy is as sensitive as a guy could get," he says, "Plus, he has this huge crush on this girl named Chi."
Hold up... THE BOY LIKES CHI?! This is bad and good. If Chi uses this right, she could potentially be one of the most powerful kids at school, and no one would dare disrespect her. But the question is, how the hell are we gonna do that?
"Daniel," I screech at him, "I need your help."
"With?"
"I need you to get all the info that you can out of Jason about Chi."
"Why should j do this? What will I get?"
"Uhh, being a good friend?"
"Nah, I'm good," he turns back around.

   "DID you forget?" I smirk, pulling out the hard drive. He looks at me stung.
"And you forget that I have your video," he pulls out his phone in response.
"I can ruin you any minute now..." he laughs, "besides this is normal stuff for a teen boy to have." He turns on his phone and shows me a group chat with his friends. Which was filled with pictures of different girls, which I'm assuming they slept with.
With a defeated expression, I give the hard drive to him.
"You boys are weird," I mutter.
"So are you girls," he smirks before whispering, shouting, "smelling clean boxers." Omg, I feel my while face turn red. I run out of the class as soon as the bell rang.

   After school, I waited for my brother. He was oddly quiet today. Maybe he had a bad they or him, and Cleo got in a fight. When we get home, I see an old looking man sitting and laughing with my parents.
"Oh, there she is!" My mom says getting up to hug me. What the fuck? She never hugs me.
"She is a beauty, ain't she," my dad says.
"She is," the strange man gives me a creepy smile, "a black girl with royal blue eyes. It is so unknown and unique..."
"Yes, it is, isn't it," my mom laughed, "now come sit with us."
"I'll go to my room and go grade some papers," my brother says, leaving. I sit in the middle of my parents. I have a really bad feeling about this.

   "So Eve, meet Mr.Hol."
"Hello," I say awkwardly.
"He is going to be your future husband," my dad smiled at me.
"WHAT?!" I scream in shock.
"He is willing to pay us 800k for you, so we agreed," they say, trying to shove me towards him. I scream and push them off while I run out of the house. I continue to run until I can't run anymore. I don't know where I am or how I got there. It starts to rain... Great, am I in a movie or something?

   Wondering around, I find myself in front of the gate to the neighborhood of the most powerful people. The last time I saw this, Daniel took me to his place.
"Hey you!" I hear a guard shout, turning I look at him.
"Why are you here?" He asks, but I can't answer. Why am I here? Looking at me up and down, a look of realization crossed his face.
"You're here to try to become one of Daniel Acetino's maids, aren't you. Without a second thought, I shook my head in agreement.
"Then follow me, young lady," he says, leading me inside to a car. Another guard transfers me to one of the biggest buildings in the neighborhood. It wasn't his house, but it was hella fancy. I headed inside and saw at least 20-40 other girls around my age. Including Mona. Why is she here? Isn't this for maids for Daniel. Isn't she a whole princess? She is getting her collar fixed by a maid. Her maid. If you want to be a maid, then why bring your personal maid?

   "Are you here to maybe get picked?" Someone asks, I hesitate but then say yes. Without another second to spare, the lady dragged me to a changing room and got me this maid outfit. It wasn't really revealing, but it showed off curves. After a while, I whistled and was blown, and all the girls scattered into a straight line. A person presents Daniel and his dad into the room. I can't lie. Both him and his father were fine as hell. The guy might not be young, but he certainly ain't old either. They both were dressed in fancy suits as they walked up to us.

   After a few hours of doing a bunch of maid things, there was a long speech about the "main purpose" behind this. But unfortunately, I drifted off to sleep. I wonder what my family is up to right now... I don't want to know or go back. They were so eager to sell me away to some weird dude. Waking up from my nap, I see Daniel walking and choosing girls. I look around and do not see the same number of girls as before. Did some get kicked out? Daniel stops in front of me with a shocked face. I awkwardly smiled and waved. He gave me that 'why are you here' look and I gave him the 'I don't see why not look.'
With hesitation, he points at me.

   "Alright, all 8 girls have been selected," he dad announced, "these girls will be my son's 'personal' maids." Wait, why did he say it like that?
"I can't wait to be summoned to his room," one girl says, "heard he has a big dick."

  Wait....WHAT?!
